Wow, several inches?? LOL I think I might have about half an inch or so of available room. I was thinking of just adding 1/4 of an inch or so and maybe a little bat guano as well to just recharge it a bit.

I'm with Van Stank, I never have the soil more than an inch or so below the rim of the pot, so adding several inches isn't possible.

I think I'd rather have those inches of soil available in veg to make a big rootball, than spend flowering time growing roots. I want big buds! ( a man can dream :) )

To be clear: I'm not actually saying a plant can't grow roots and grow buds at the same time - just hoping to encourage big buds. :)
 
Made a little shopping trip yesterday :)

Simbi, a wide bellied bong for the wife, holds a lot of smoke in the water; packs a punch with a clean screen.
The snake looks like it would be fun under a black light, there are a lot of gold sparkles not showing in the picture.

The SLX grinder is for me :)
 
Glad you clarified that bong was for the wife Rad. LOL, seemed a bit too flamboyant for the image I have for you in my head.

You might need to update your mental image :)

I'm a calm person, but I once went to an amusement park in San Jose, Ca wearing an orange silk robe with marigolds decorations in gold thread and rode the roller coasters. I can do flamboyant :rofl:

In the midwest I play it more low key, but I wore one of my top hats to breakfast in a diner this winter. Unlike in boston, the hooded 'wizard' cloak stayed in the car :)
 
Bubba's Gift has been back in the veg room for 24 days.

I chopped off the upper 2/3 of the branches leaving the lower 1/3 of the branches loaded with popcorn and leaves.

Nothing appears to have grown in 24 days.

I tried to reveg cuttings in the clonebucket, but I guess post-harvest reveg clones aren't really a thing.
 
Talk about images, my dawg, Wolfman, wore pink pantyhose and Bullwinkle Ears on a Sturgis Run once. All the way from Oakland to Sturgis on a Panhead with way illegal ape hangers. I mean way over your head ones. Dude's totally sleeved down with tats bread back and looked like an ape. He loved shock value. And he defiantly got some strange reactions. No 'square' wood ever make a comment tho... That guy saved my ass the first time I met him. San Jose'. I know that place pretty well.. Was that park Marriots? The old scooter culb I hung around have a clubhouse down there. Matter a fact I heard that Clubhouses Prez was just killed.. RIP Jethro Keepem Green

Used to be Marriots when I lived nearby. The time I went there in the robe (2007?) it was owned by Paramount - Klingons in line with you waiting for the rides :)

Like the new toys Rad! Hows the grinder working out for you? Been looking for a half way decent one.
Crazy about the reveg, I have ZERO knowledge on the subject but I am very curious to see how she turns out

I'm so inept at being a stoner, I haven't even tested the grinder yet - it looks pretty and has excellent recommendations, including by GaBoy420 here on this thread. ==> Radogast's Hi-Brix Basement Grow - New Location - New Soil - New Experiences

I had a brownie today and only took one hit on a bong that was being passed, so no opportunity to grind :)

- - -

I have tried a reveg before, leaving a single bud and a bunch of leaves. The reveg didn't take. Hopefully someone who understands doing a reveg will chime in.

I like the Bubba's Gift genetics - it's a very good 'mixer' weed. This is the only piece of it left as my pump was clogged on my cloner, so my attempts to clone failed.


Unlike many people here, I don't really like buying seeds. I'm cheap. I don't like the risk. I much prefer cloning.

I knew SLX looked familiar, I even book marked their page it looks like lol. Sometimes my memory likes to fail me a bit... hmmm wonder why.
Hear ya on the seeds, luckily getting seeds isn't an issue here but I know I would feel much differently in your position. The whole waiting and going through customs BS makes me a bit skittish.
Cloning is the next step in my learning adventure, going to be a while though. I've run out of room unless I plan on throwing out all of my clothes which trust me has crossed my mind a few times.
Guess I should learn to weave some hemp and make my own clothes.

I've never revegged anything past clones that were already in flower mode. I was able to do that under 16/8 lighting. It normally takes a couple weeks for the plants to adjust hormones and start growing but yours isn't doing anything yet. I've heard people mention throwing plants under 24 hr lighting to get them to start to reveg. You could try that if you have the lighting available. Sorry, I've got nothing past that. Mine have all been accidents from how I was rooting clones. I've never purposefully tried to reveg. It seems like when I've seen plants done, they leave only a couple of small buds. A lot less than you have on your plant.

I find it difficult to root cuttings taken from flowering plants after 5 weeks in the flower room. Couple months ago I took 20 cuttings from lower canopy from plants 40 days post flip...only got 3 to root.

On the contrary, when I clone plants in veg, I get over 90% success. Aero cloner makes it easy. Easy to build.

Yeah I'm using a 15 gallon soft pot and it settled down into the pot after a few waterings. At transplant, I filled it up to the very top but it compacted on it's own. So I added some EWC and more soil.

I gave her 5 to 7 days of 24/0 - then went back to 20/4 or 18/6 (because it's the same light I am using for all my veg.)

I left on a lot of popcorn because leaving on one or two buds didn't work for me (twice?) before.

I'll look at the buds - if they look smokable, I'm going to start snipping off buds.

Well hope it works out for you and yea lol u shud have a gud amount of buds u shud be able 2 pick still they mite even bulked up alil by now idk if they wud or not due to the lighting change cuz ive only left sum small popcorns on the the ones i tried they did seem to get more frosty but not really bigger that i seen but they were super small popcorn buds nuthn like ur monster there lol

My 2 bits: I've never reveged successfully after harvest. I tried several last summer for 2-3 months. Some had a very little growth before weakening and dying. The volunteer seedling I found was in a pot I was using for revegging. My guess is at least the one was pollinated, produced a seed, therefore felt no need to reveg new growth or continue flowering and died as most flowering annuals would. At time I figured it was just past point of no return, but now I've seen others on site do it.

I'm not quite sure if that relates to your BG. For one thing it's only been 24 days. 2nd, I won't say you girl was pollinated (such a dirty word, I know) but all those flowers can't be helping hormones. I'd clip as much buds as I could without damaging leaves/nodes. And then wait. After all, it's only been 24 days, and I really don't know any more about this than you do. Good Luck!

ACE seeds looking yummy. :rollit:


Thank you for the idea.
I need a hooded wizard cloak for dc this winter, dunno why I hadn't thought of it before.:high-five:
Click to expand...

A wool cloak is really good on the east coast during winter if one takes public transportation - wrapped tight during the gale force winds - hanging loose and open while riding buses and trains.

I used my Half Moon "Single Yoke long tracker coat" for several seasons of commuting in Boston winters. Standing on train platforms. Walking across bridges. Balaclava stuffed in my pocket for those blustery snowsnows. - I'm glad that part of my life is completed.
