Hey everyone

Pic-fest, sorta..
Hasberry

These are Hashberry's two thickest branches..close-ups/side-shots below..

The second pic is a sideview of the biggest branch/main stem

This is HB's number three branche

..and this is the nr 4 branche/stem..it's kinda propped up

Here's a HB nugshot, kinda blurry though :

Safari-mix

This is my Safarilady before her minor hair-cut..I cut the lower branches which weren't getting any decent light see:

This is a side branche from Saf-lady

Here's a side shot of Saflady's main cola

I'll leave ya with what I think is a Saflady bud.. :

@TML: Hey buddy thanks! I'll be by yours (thread) inna bit :smile:

Hey low

What kind of outside temps you got now, these girls gonna make it?

But they look super healthy, I don't see much in the way of insect damage at all

 

[High Lowlander]

Hey Dr Dog

Yeah, i'm getting kinda worried about the temps as well as the RH..but for the last two weeks we've been getting some nice day-time temps around 18-20 degrees C..it's the nighttime temps that worry me..as long as the nighttime temps don't drop to below 10 C i'll be okay for awhile longer..and as long as the RH isn't going to be too high
But it is the time of year for higher RH..i'll just be watching em closely then..I'm hoping to finish them outdoor because they're quiete sheltered where they're @, if not, i'm gonna have to splurge some and not only buy a new tent but also a new lamp/light/ballast so I can put the HB in the smaller tent and the Safmix in the (new) bigger tent..we'll see
I concur on the bug-damage..seems i've found an excellent outdoorspot as far as outdoor damages are concerned
thanx for the compliments

Very nice indeed. and i noticed the pics of the plants in the "dogcage" type thing... I like that idea alot makes it very easy to train the plants over and over...

 

[High Lowlander]

update txt only, my outdoor has now become indoor!

update txt only, my outdoor has now become indoor!


I've decided to go ahead and put my plants indoors..Was quiet a struggle getting two plants which were taller then 4 ft to fit inside a budbox XS(which is 4ft tall, 2ft wide and 2ft deep).Barely had enough headroom for my lamp but with a bit of bending and tying down I got everyting inthere..hopefully in another 4 weeks those two ladies are (finally!) finished and I can continue with ma next round..they're already in the box as well, not getting much light I imagine and only 12 hrs of it but that's all I've got to work with at the mo..
Splurging on another tent and light will not be possible for anotha couple of months..grrr those tax-bastards
That's all there was to update, forgot my cam so no pix for now..:

@ Janedope:thnx for the compliments!! That dogcage thingy was actually one of those wardrobe things ya know: couple of iron-wire trays, fit some cloth with a zipper in the middle over it so the top and sides are covered and you've got another wardrobe kinda closet thing where ya can store all the clothes ya barely use..
It did come in handy for training, but i tripped and kinda fell onto it so it snapped..(cheapo-quality made of course those things..what do ya expect for 10$)so alas the cage is no more

Well that's all for now, will post new pix later this weekend or possibly next week

Hey all

The complete overview of my grow:

Safarimix

with flash
Hashberry

with flash

My leaves are starting to purple! even when they're all indoors now, see

I cannot get over the smell!! it smells berrie-ish but also anise like!
Perfect smell of winter
Checked trichs and they're all as clear as can be so the ladies need a couple more weeks me thinks..

Here's some pics of my new round:

GHS Big Bang #1

GHS Big Bang#2 up front NRS Ice #1 and 2 in the back

NRS Ice #3
Well that's it for the flower-updates

@ M@rg: Hey mate, nice ta see yu, thnx for the compliments!! I'll be by yours inna bit

Hashberry budshot:

I haven't taken any pics of my youngin's but I've already found one hermy...one of my Ice babies... the reason it's turned hermy is probably because i've been havin problems with my timer..hence the light came on and off and on again...the other two Ice babies are spitting hairs already!! never knew ya could get femme's from regular seeds under a 12-12 regimen!! The 12-12 thing is necessary, i'm flowering my Mandala's while my Nirvana's and GHS Big Bangs are still in seedling stage...The Big Bang's haven't shown me anything just yet
Anywayz..that's it for now, till next episode

[m@rg]

hey low ladies are starting to fill out now nice
ur gonna have to do something with that timer, id bin it if u think its gonna play up still
i did it manualy for yrs before i invested in a timer

now u have got the seedlings in 12/12 have u thought about leaving the light on now permamently 12hrs, and keep throwing them in from seed/clone.ud have a nice little staggered/perpetual going in no time

looking good mate

 

[Core]

heya HLow

all is looking well mate....but i see the seedlings in the same tent...are you always going 12/12 straight away?...
pitty bout the nanners though...go buy a new timer my friend !!

 

[High Lowlander]

Heya gents
Thanx for the advice...i've already hunted through some of the other stuff i'd bought when i started growing and have replaced the faulty timer with one that works.

Core yeah i've had to resort to placing the seedlings in 12-12 as well because i've currently only got one tent to grow in..i'd been planning on getting another but alas..de belastingdienst..(translated: IRS )
Yeah the nannering plant was a pity ..i was just suprised to see hairs and balls already!!! they've not been outta seedling stage for more then a week..ya think ive messed them up beyond repair already?? *shrug* we'll see what happens..
if all goes to shit I'll just start over again and keep a tighter watch over things..

M@rg Is a staggered perpetual really possible entirely from 12-12??and from seed??? and exactly how would I go about doing that?? sounds interesting but i'm guessing one of the downsides of keeping everything 12-12 might be that the yields will be suffering??
Just something i might have read in one of the 12/12 threads onhere..

Anyways, just popped in but gotta go so..
Laterz, Low

GHS Big Bang

These last two haven't shown sex yet and aren't as vigorous growers as the others..

I've checked the trichs on my fullgrown ladies and i've found a few amber ones so..maybe another week and then it's chop-chop time!!
Well that's it for now, no updates on sunday..
, Low

 

[Dr Dog]

crazy lanky bitches

You should try and prop up those little ones and get them closer to the light, they are stretching like crazy

Another week till chop? so are you happy with this run?

 

[High Lowlander]

Heya Dog

Yeah, i'd love to be able to prop up the lil'ones except i don't have any means to do so at the mo..
I'm not really sure whether i'm satisfied/happy with this run but i'm suspecting my bulb is going to expire pretty soon..I need to replace it and if I want to keep the lil' ones going and dry my chop as well i'm gonna have to shell out for another tent..'cause the XS one is also in use as a dry box
And because my bulb isn't putting out as much lumens as i think it is...i don't think my fullgrown ones are gonna benefit from being out there much more.. all they'd be doing is take up space..while i'd still not be able to raise the lil' ones closer to my light.*bummed*
ANyways..ya live ya learn, once again i'm afraid..
Laterz, Low

 

[janedope]

you got some nice ass lookin bud in the highlow... how longs that hashberry usually go in flower??

 

[High Lowlander]

Heya Jane

It says on the Mandala site that HB usually flowers for 60-65 days, that's just short of 10 wks right? Still...they've both been flowering since early september so...I'm hoping they're gonna be done some time soon...depends on trich-colour though
I'll see if I can sneak in another look sometime this weekend as the whole grow is not located at my own place.
The safmix is said to go anywhere between 62 and 75 days...
anywayz, that's all for now..

Hey peepz,
Had the opportunity to spend a bit more time with my grow today so..
PIX

Here's both full grown ladies:

HB is on the left, and is missing the top of one of her 4 mains because I decided to do a lil pre-harvesting to test ripeness
The Safmix is on the left.
More HB:

More Safmix:

Next round:

Ice #1 and Big Bang #1 are in the back, Ice #2 and Big Bang#2 are up front. One of the Big Bang is starting to sprout tiny tiny hairs The Ice's are already spitting hairs like mad! :smile:

Pre-harvest pix:

Sample branch, freshly cut

I'm tasting and testing now.. right off the vine, without any drying time what-so-ever, it's still an impressive berry taste..a happy high maybe a light bit of a body stone..Hmmm..I've only vaped a tiny bit fresh..the rest of the nuggies are drying on top of my modem..i'll put them inna lil baggy to prevent them drying out and kinda dry and bag and dry and bag...until they're dry enough for my taste
Well that's it for now, tlll next time
