Special Announcement for HC - no attempts at humor will occur in this post - it is safe to bring a drink into the room....
Hiya HC
They have spoken - and I heard them say - HC is a high horsepower grower! Fabulous canopy HC - really nice scrog - your hard work is paying off. Looks like you have the feeding down to a T - they look very happy. Strong work my friend!
I can get a lil in depth here, was very tired lastnight so I didn't feel like posting much...
FlyvAgaric Hey there good to see you could make it in thanks for the kind words.
TML Glad you could make it in man! Well It turns out that both of the white rhino's I had were male So now I am left with one white rhino which was the runt of the group so I am hoping its female otherwise i'll be ordering some more seeds... And Yeah the screens filled out much better this time around and hopefully I will have a much more even canopy to work with then last grow. I believe the trick to it is, is you need to train a week or two into flower so you can use the stretch to help better fill our your screen and help the growth shoots stay at a more even height. Hopefully you plan on sticking around things are just starting to get good.
MGJ Hows it going man? Well thanks for not trying to make me laugh to hard usually when i am stoned its pretty much a given to laugh at your posts. Anyways yeah I am surprised at how well they are taking to the nutes, this one here is NL#5xBB and she seems to be very fussy actually for a high yielding strain I would have figured she would like more nutes but I have to take it easy on her.
Same goes for the MMM#2 Beta, very fussy as far as nutes go. I have to hit her with very light feedings. By the way I believe this strain could be Western Winds but I am not sure
And well this strain so far MMM#2 Alpha seems to be able to take what I have been throwing at her as far as nutes are concerned. I believe this strain to be diamondhead perhaps But who knows I wish Sag or Gypsy would let us know I hate Mystery's!
HC
Aint been in here in a while but im glad i have, your plants are looking super healthy... if that continues through flowering your gonna see some great yields, especially with the great training their getting too.
Peace
Well today is the start of Day 15 Flowering and this is what they are looking like... The Northern Lights#5 x Big Bud is on the top right, The MMM#2 Alpha is top left, and MMM#2 Beta is on the bottom.

MGJ: Howdy MGJ! I know your away on vacation but hopefully you'll be back around here soon enough. Your comments are always appreciated and a experienced grower such as yourself is always welcome in this thread.
Unlearning: Yes the last one, the runt, ended up being female... Thank the ganja Gods for that. This female seems to be alot more indica in leaf structure then my previous one so I am excited about this. I threw the plant into flower right away and took a few cuttings for the future generations.
TML: Hey how ya been? Its been awhile since I have really been able to get around to posting but I am back in action. Thanks for the positive comments! Yeah the screens have filled out very nicely, I have been using Sweet from Botanicare and it seems to be getting the girls a little frostier then the last run... I am either doing things better this time around or its the nutes, who knows Either way all is well and I haven't run into any major problems with this grow so I am very happy. Stick around things are just getting good...
Hey TML: Yes there sure are alot of budsites this turned out to be a really good scrog. I just hope I can pull some better yields compared to the last grow...
Hope Everyone Enjoys this update

Well yesterday I was checking the garden to make sure everything is going well admiring the plants etc... Well the White Rhino Female that I had decided to shoot out some nice big Nanners... I am pretty bummed about this as WR is my fav strain so I had to chop it and rip the clones I took from it aswell. Out of my Ten pack of Rhino seeds from Nirvana I only got 2 females and 1 hermied...
Next up to bat is some more Hermie issues... I was taking some sample buds just to get an idea of whats up and I was looking at one of them today from the MMM#2 and I noticed a nice yellow banana...
Now at this point I am starting to get really discouraged because I don't know if its just two freak accidents from genetics maybe? Or if I as a grower am causing this... If anyone following this grow wants to throw in there I would appreciate it... I am pretty bummed at this point because even though I know I am gonna have some good smokeable bud, the hermies kinda makes it feel like I am going wrong somewhere... And I just thought I was starting to get this stuff down...
Well here are some Close up pics to the best of my ability... I am still getting used to the new camera so they are not the greatest...
Here are some shots from uptop
Northern Lights #5 x Big Bud
MMM#2 Alpha, This one is getting a very distinct Berry smell to it...
MMM#2 Beta, This one is real pineapple smell to it...
Hiya HC
Sorry 'bout the nanners man - happens to everyone sometime or other. You've been taking good care of your girls, so I don't think it's something you're doing. Some plants genetically are prone to hermie with minimal stress, my bet is that's whats going on.
Your other plants are looking supah dude - very tasty. The scrog looks like it will yield well for you - lotta bud sites man! Props to you!
