All I can hope for is to make you feel proud. there is alot of growers here that have helped so much and if it weren't for them and you I wouldn't be able to do what I am doing.
Got tons done last night and today, the super room is about ready for paint. Mass drywall work today. sure wish you could come over and check it out. Maybe one year

aw dude! i find just being in the presence of so many great growers gets the ole ticker fizzing over like a tall glass of lemonade! loL
and i feel ya mate, i feel the exact same way with everyone here- im so inspired to do better and keep on n on by seeing such great journals and gorgeous ladies everywhere- such a rich learning experience for noobs like me
im glad you got alot done brother- you have been working damned hard to get your op up n running, im genuinely excited for ya
dude.. one of my dreams is to visit monument valley and the canyon... that would blow my mind- toking on a nice blunt wrapped slingblade bud watching the sun rise and the shadows stretch into eternity... just being there in the moment- hell yeah!!!

hey everyone here at 420!

went over to check on the ladies today... starting to see them chunking out- the buds are VERY solid.. dense, nothing fluffy what-so-ever. should be interesting to see how they weigh up.
so today is the last day of week 6- 2moro will see the start of week 7- im expecting the gigabuds to finish first... its gonna be a juggling act to to decide when to flush based on that- could be one week left before flushing for a week.. maybe 2, not sure yet. the trichs are all still quite glassy under my 20x loupe, ive decided to slam then into an 8/9 on-15/16 off(possibly 9/15 but im thinking 8/16) in the last 2 weeks(or when i start to see milky trichs) to aid in bringing the amber gold on...
i took some pics while i was there- of course we are at day 41 of flower, 73rd day total grow time.

it just occurred to me if i need to flush the gigabuds earlier than the rest i could just detach their pots from the recirculating system and get my partner to water them manually 3x or 4x a day :] hahaha MIGHT work *hmmmms*

just incredible. they are already so fat its almost unbelievable. and you need to relax man..your partner can handle it.

you think if i run 10/14 i can take a week or two off my flowering times?

yeah man, its all gud- im not stressing *touchs wood* ;]

as far as the 10/14 taking a few weeks off your flowering time- i dont think so bro... but i could be wrong! best to test it out and see as an experiment ;]

I can't believe how beautifully fat those colas are with more to go.
Just amazing work Alk.
Those OG Kush's, are wow..

 

[Cola Monster]

It doesn't get any better then that Alk.! I'm just kicking back between feedings here and watching them trees of yours sway gently to the music and am amazed at the growth spurt from seed to what should be a kickass harvest. Ever think of bringing them talents to the states like mainly the west coast up San Francisco way? We got the Golden Gate, wine country, the World Series winning Giants, and good looking gals to boot mate!

heya Vick! thanking you good sir /|\ coming from an OGK connoisseur such as yourself thats a huge compliment!
ive been impressed with this lovely lady- out of all the plants she has stretched the most in her early flower stretch but has filled out wonderfully- hoping they get fatter of course loL i suppose thats a normal hope tho but i'll be happy either way
if i can even come close to the quality of what you do with your OG's i'll be stoked ... guys like you, cola monster, sling, ronnie, jon and so many others inspire me to do better and learn learn learn... to try to take these wonderful plants to their max.

it really is so awesome to hear such good feedback from pro growers- does wonders for my confidence LOL thanks everyone!
thanks for stopping by brother!

all you guys are like mentors to me... if i can get anywhere close to the standard and quality of growing you guys are doing i'll be over the moon happy
mate, San Fran??! that would be a dream of mine! LOL ... *looks around to see where wife is* did you say "good looking Gals" too?? loL dont tell me that bro- i'd be there in a flash *waits for an astral slap from the Mrs*

thanking you for taking the time to stop in brother!

hi good people, just a quick update for the ole journal.

I went over to visit the ladies after work today... they are looking so damned beautiful- i decided, today being the first day of the 7th week, to slam them back to an 8 hour on-16 hour off light cycle... im expecting something in the area of 1-2 weeks with 1 week to flush... so i could be 3 weeks total time left(including flush) or it could be 2 weeks(including flush) although... i do have 2 weeks of shooting powder to use yet so... im hoping 3 weeks total time left.. 9 weeks is asking alot though! i really think slamming them back like this will bring on milky-amber trichs alot faster than leaving them on 12/12 BUT as always, we'll have to wait and see! gawd i love this stage of growing LOL

take care all /|\
