So Miss stubborn is a sage? "Sweet Sage?"
That did it, I can't wait to see her when she decides to go off her diet and starts filling up and out. She is gonna bless you at the end with some great smoke.
Tell her she's got one fan rooting for her.

Will do buddy, and I'll bet that extra bit of love coming her way will help nudge her towards the greatness she is capable of.

Quick update: Girls got more nutes today, they are drinking a full gallon in 4 days now, couple had just a touch of wilt, so they were ready. I was kind of still debating what I would give them today. Last watering they got a big dose, 4 tsp/gal of Tigerbloom plus their first dose of Bigbloom (4 tbs/gal), so I debated on whether to give just water again (prev. to the big dose they got str8 water), or water with mollasses, or nutes and mollasses. I went with the latter, back down to 2 tsp/gal of TB, 4 tbs/gal BB, and 1 tbs/gal of blackstrap. So far they seem to be taking all the nutes I give them with barely a hickup or burp. Hope that continues.
I did some more pollenating today as well. It was all duck on duck, 4 females getting juiced by one male (what a stud!!). Two of those duck females had 3 branches (tiny understory ones) pollenated by one non-duck male, so now their next higher 3 branches (again, small understory) have duck to duck. I am just starting to be able to see the results from the first round of pollenation (maybe just over a week ago), so thats kinda exciting. I love making seeds!
I was going to transplant the clones today but ran out of time, so tomorrow they can get into their new homes. They are drinking all the water in those 4" pots in a day, so I really should get it done tomorrow.
Man I LOVE growing weed!!!!

HawaiianD, my new friend I've just run through your journal from the beginning and I have to say that I am very impressed! Sorry I'm just finding you now and I will be checking out your 'second' grow momentarily. That's a terrific set up you made DIY. And I'm envious of your top notch lighting, 2 veg chambers etc etc! Impressive to say the least.

Thanks a ton and very happy to have you along on this one. The other one (clonefest) is still in its infancy, so not too exciting yet, but I wanted to start from the very beginning on that adventure. Again, thanks, and glad to have you as a friend!
Much aloha,

Glad to be here (and there). LOL before I started my latest journal, I was telling my buddies (here) that I wasn't sure if I should start a journal at the beginning (seed and germination) or wait till later (flower) when it would be more exciting. They all pretty much said "now"! And they were right! It is and can be quite interesting right from the get go. Plus the random off topic bantering and good natured discussions and conversions are priceless! You never know what to expect with your plants and 'us crazy folks' on this site! Here have a toke

Yeah, can't express how fun it was doing all the research for my grow over the last year, and because of those random off topic convo's and how they bring this beautiful personal human element into the mix. For the most part, I'd venture to say that us stoners are some of the smartest and interesting ppl I've ever met! LOL, but maybe I'm a little biased. It is one of the reasons I fell in love with Hawai'i tho. Came here when I was 17 from suburbia Colorado where it seemed the majority where uptight sheep. As soon as I got here it was like I was finally home, and everyone was family, and we ALL smoked!! And thats how it feels here at 420 too, so I am starting to feel right at home rather quickly.
And thanks for sending the toke my way, funny tho, by the time it got all the way out here it turned from a joint to a bubble hash bowl ....wonder whats gonna happen when it gets back to you...hehehe

Great story HD. I do miss the camaraderie of my stoner friends from places past in my life. People in this area and that are close to my age (52) are not as apt to be partaking as much as say their kids. As I got older and moved to this area (rural farmland) I find it is not as easy to meet 'others' that indulge. My passion for fine herb, has prevented or made it difficult to make or have close new friends that don't share the same passion. Kind of hard (we own a tiny cabin) to invite folks over or have people just 'pop' by when you may have stuff laying around or maybe a stinky grow upstairs! I think a younger person would not have a problem of meeting like minded people. So for me at least this is almost like hangin out with buds, smokin buds!

Here's what I'll pass back to ya!

Re: HD's 1st Indoor; 1200w/soil/variety of autoflower

Well, some plant pics to come, but first a few of the new nugs I got from a friend. I got pretty stoned from a few hits and decided to have some fun with the cam and roll one up for Woodsman out there in the cabin sharing some good vibes with this community!!

its an older (couple months) front page, I like using it as a rolling tray-

Yeah, goofing around having some fun I guess, but this is for Wood and the rest of you!! It was a great day for the most part, followed by a beautiful sunset in perfect island style (last pics on next post).

OK, more to come, nothing too excitng but some group shots.

Re: HD's 1st Indoor; 1200w/soil/variety of autoflower

Not too much to update from yesterday, they look good, took the nutes well. There is still some growth going on with a few of them so I am still having to adjust the hieghts and switch some around every few days or so. Today was one of those days, so I figured I get some shots of the stand set up and kinda before and after on the canopy adjustment. Might not be too noticable, the after shot, but there are a few girls that are a bit happier with their lighting situation now, and I think it makes a big difference. And I guess its kind of essential to have to do something like this if you got a whole slew of different plants.

before adjusting-

after-

maybe its hard to tell in the pics, but really its kinda more evened out and level. Anyways, they are happy, and so was I, and especially after going out and seeing the sunset and this beauty-

Yep, wonderful day and a beautiful sunset rainbow.
Much Aloha All,

Re: HD's 1st Indoor; 1200w/soil/variety of autoflower

All looking good HD

Hope a few folks get to see those pix before 420 takes them down And you get a reminder PM. Nothing but pix dealing with cannabis allowed

I learned the hard way....more than once. Actually more than twice.

I just wanted to show our home to the rest of the world and all its natural beauty. We really do live in the land of rainbows.

Re: HD's 1st Indoor; 1200w/soil/variety of autoflower

Oops, yeah,next time I guess I will have to point to the rainbow with a bud....hehe. Sure was pretty tho, love the sunset rainbows, only thing better is a moonbow, love those. Thanks for the heads up OMM, sorry 420.

Thanks for the smoke my friend I'm imagining a terrific buzz while I'm out there on the Island, looking at that great sunset, nice and warm and peaceful...Ahhh..... you know its snowing here right now and in the low 20's during the day and low teens at night! Back to the dream.............Ahhhhh

I like that multi tool you've got, You can hold your joint on one side your sample on the other and examine it with the glass! All while sitting on the couch and munching out!

LOL. I also have plants of different heights and I know what you must go through..I move mine practically every time I'm up there! I have one of my shorter ones balanced on top of an empty two pack CFL container with the flower pot tray upside down on top of it. The plant sits on both! I've had that one spill several times already! You'd think I'd get the message. We've got bricks outside that I wish I could use, but they're either lost under the snow somewhere or frozen to the ground.

Well I think in a way they are bud related. They are meditative and visual aids for those of us that suffer from depression....

Sorry guys, I had to edit my last post. I removed all the photos. I don't like copying pics from a post as it makes the post too long!

..... you know its snowing here right now and in the low 20's during the day and low teens at night! Back to the dream.............Ahhhhh

ummm, brrrrrrrr!!! I'll be sending you all the warm sunny thoughts I can bro!!

I like that multi tool you've got, You can hold your joint on one side your sample on the other and examine it with the glass! All while sitting on the couch and munching out!

Yep, that and I was thinking if I wanted to get really tricky I could take it outside, line it up just right, and let the sun hit the tip of the joint thru the glass to spark it up, no butane, no sulfer, just solar power joint lighting.... Might come in handy if I lose my lighter. I could also do it with just a bud, no wrap, hit it with the magnified light till it starts smoking and catch/inhale that with a funnel from above...talk about a clean hit!!

I have one of my shorter ones balanced on top of an empty two pack CFL container with the flower pot tray upside down on top of it. The plant sits on both! I've had that one spill several times already! You'd think I'd get the message.

I had actually read a couple threads where they tried the makeshift balancing act boosters and had some bad falls, which is why I made these stands, they are pretty stable, and it was all just my leftover scraps from the room build.

Well I think in a way they are bud related. They are meditative and visual aids for those of us that suffer from depression....
Beautiful!

I totally agree, in fact it was, at least in my head a very related subject...my morning started not super good, then I went and spent a few hours with my girls, and they brought my mood up, as did the smoke, and my final reward/mood booster was that beautiful sight.

Much aloha to you Wood,

Re: HD's 1st Indoor; 1200w/soil/variety of autoflower

OK, updates- It was geting a little stinky in the apartment around the grow room, so I did the final sealing up work I had been putting off, just had a few panel seams that I hadn't taped and/or trimmed and one cord/outlet hole that needed to be bocked and taped, then gave the rest of the outside its final paint coat, and hopefully thats the last stuff I have to do for the room now, looks kinda good and hopefully smells good (or rather not at all). I didn't get pics of that cause it wsn't very exciting, but some of the girls were exciting me today, so I got a few shots of a few of the girls that are just starting to get nasty....(here's where the 80's porn music starts in the background... )...and roll the bud porn-

close up-

in better light-

I'm starting to get excited!!

And here are a couple misc. shots, first here is some evidence of successfull pollenation (seeds forming) on one of the marked branches (right where it should be) on a duckfoot-

and here is a new training technique I am trying out, seems to work well (see the red wire wrapped around the branch bending it to the left)-

OK, thats it for updates. Hope the pics were somewhat enjoyable. Soon enough they should get really impressive I think.
Pakaloha,
