*** UPDATE WITH PICS! Round II (WEEK IX of 12/12) ***

WEEK 9​

​

(The Home Stretch)

^^^ I Remembered to Use a Flash So the Buds Aren't All in Shadow ^^^

^^^ Getting Closer ^^^

^^^ It Will Be Nice To Smoke Buds Again ^^^

^^^ Top Left Under the Carbon Scrubber ^^^

^^^ Front Left Looking Right ^^^
​

Plants are being fed a much "lighter" diet for the last week or so. This trend will continue up until harvest.

I am planning to harvest next thursday(ish). I will probably put up some trich shots on tuesday or so to get opinions. Running these plants to 10 weeks is really only a few days longer than normal. (Maybe I should go even longer?)

beautiful girls

take care

WEEK X

^^^ Front & Center ^^^

^^^ A Closeup ^^^

^^^ More Detail ^^^

^^^ Awww yeah! ^^^

^^^ Really damn close (same plant as the one right above it) ^^^
​

 

[Anti]

WEEK X (continued)​

^^^ This is the same plant as the one below it vvv

^^^ Notice a tiny bit of new growth on upper right side ^^^​

So there are a few white hairs growing still, most are red. Normally, I would've harvested a few days ago. By my calendar, tomorrow would be officially 10 weeks (70 days). I generally chop around day 65-67. I will probably start harvesting in the next few days unless I hear some reasons not to.

Impressive work!

Looking great Anti. I have the same issue with my bottom tier of plants. I haven't been monocropping yet, so I have been putting my stretchy plants on that level to get them up a little higher after the stretch.

MY room is probably a little more narrow then It should be for three levels on either side, and the six hundreds burn a few of the plants if I am not real diligent with tying them back immediately.

So, you have you not really flushed it, and just bounced down the ppms as you go? Plants still look real nice and green.


Hope your harvest goes well dude.

Yeah, I have had the same problem. Not as bad as icarus last time, though.

Yeah, I started dropping PPMs about 2 weeks ago. Since then, I have not added any more ferts, only water (and ph down).

Hope your harvest goes well dude.

Thanks, homie!

Man I Thought they would shoot up more when you switched to 12/12. Perhaps with more dirt per plant.

And have fun harvesting, looking forward to it!

I appreciate all the wonderful encouragement from this community. I don't know what I'd do without you guys. None of my family or friends can know about this and not being able to talk about it would definitely eat me alive.

It's nice to be able to share my adventure with other like-minded individuals.

I'll try to get some actual dried and manicured shots when these bitches are ready for jars.
For some reason,

I seem to space out and forget all about taking pictures right around then... hmmm.... I wonder why?

I have no guesses as to final weights this round. But I'll post the good (or bad or horrible) news when I get it.

I feel your pain my buddy....ALL my indoor croppin NO ONE knew cuz my ex outdoor partner of over 12 yrs got popped for cocaine and rolled on me......

I`d insulated myself to not have shit in my name or assets they could try and deem as drug profits , so he went to prison and I went into shutdown mode for several yrs till I found weedsites in the mid 90`s and popped my cherry growin big plants INSIDE with Krusty buckets like I`d been growin outside with that piece of shit I called a friend........and I learned a good lesson........

3 can keep a secret if 2 are dead and gone.....so....stay strong and become that 1 man army cuz you can trust you.....tell him Bobbles.....and....

God forbid anything happens with you and gf cuz Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned.....and....hope she don`t read this.....Just empathizin witchas Bro....so....

Just a matter of time before yas dial and yield accordingly A....guaranteed.....

Pullin fer yas....Freds........

 

[bobblehead]

Lol... Bitches be trippin.... I made sure that when I cut mine loose, that I wasn't growing where I live and she didn't have a clue about the where the new spot was... It's a little different in Medville cause if you have a caregiver card, people automatically know you grow. That doesn't mean you shouldn't follow the rules for insulating yourself... B/c you can't trust anybody but you... That's not to say i don't have a couple friends i would trust to help me out if I was physically incapable... But I know i can depend on me, and if i fuck up i know who to blame. Partnerships are hardly ever 50/50.

I know Anti has his situation under control, and his gf is very supportive...

 

[redbudduckfoot]

i mentioned i would throw up a couple pics a few weeks ago. so, here we go.

this is the view behind each plant. 3 gal smart pots w Blumats(5 gal elevated rez, 24hr auto top-off w brute rez).
600w HPS vert. 3ft inner canopy diameter.

i took a bunch o' pics this morning, this is the only one i could get to upload.

running 6 OG's, 6 SourD ibl's, 1 StrawD, 1 Lemon Kush. vegged in 3" squares for 2 weeks, then 1 week veg in vert. this is night 9 of flower. judging by plant sizes at this point and my last little mini-vert run i did in the corner of my Horizontal room, im gonna smash 1gpw.

i might start a thread if i can figure out how to upload pics properly. i keep on getting the UPLOAD FAILED screen after i try to drag the pics from my desktop to my private album.

hope u dont mind me throwing this pic up, Anti.

I appreciate the support guys. Sincerely. Our relationship is pretty stable. We come from very different worlds, though. She has taken some "poser" hits off my bong a few times but she's never gotten high. (It took me several sessions over the course of several months to actually get high the first time.)

She doesn't read my threads and shows little interest in my hobby, but she has posed for pictures a few times...

​

...and she has helped me water when I had to go out of town for a couple of weeks and she has helped me trim my harvest a few times.

We lived together for about 3 years in an apartment and I was growing in my microcab because of the landlord and the shared walls with the neighbors.

We discussed moving to medville but she didn't want to leave her family behind so our COMPROMISE option was to stay put but get a house so that I could upgrade my setup.

If/when we breakup, I will be on the first bus to medville with as much of my equipment as I can carry. Not because I fear her retribution but because she's the only reason I haven't already done so. There's nothing else holding me here anymore.

(I don't really believe in fairytales like "forever", so I am not ANTICIPATING a breakup... I'm just always aware that most relationships have an expiration date.)

If we stay together, I plan to get the grow out of the house as soon as financially feasible, and not because of her. That's why I'm taking baby steps with this grow.

^^^ I took this today right as the lights were coming on ^^^
I think it's purdy.

Are you taking a picture with the camera and then copying that image to your computer and uploading it? If so, you are probably uploading HUGE files and when you try to upload 5 huge files at once, the server will usually timeout on you. What I do is take pictures at 10-20 megapixels (the latest pic is at 20 mp) and then take that into Photoshop and crop it and resize it to 800x600 and then do a "save for web" which removes EXIF data from the picture and drops it down to the same resolution as a monitor.

If you upload your HUGE files one by one to the server, it will use a routine to shrink your picture down to an acceptable size for ICMag, but will not strip any EXIF data for you.

(ICMag admins would prefer that you do the edits yourself because it takes up a lot of server processing power to resize a 5 meg file down to a 128k image.)

If you need help on any of the above subjects, feel free to PM me.
