Looking good bro!
Stanks Go Perpetual In 2018!

Thanks brother......gotta make my way up to the flower tent in a bit. Gotta make sure the female Stankberry hasn't grown out of the tent yet. Shes up to 42" tall. Was 24 when I flipped.....damn leggy wench!
Plants are looking good the Van. As for the smell of the Northern Lights it really varies. Mine didn't smell much until it was well into flower and only when disturbed. Doggie Daddy said his was so dank it smell the house up for days when he chopped it. I think the tenancy is for it to be a lower odor strain like the Cinderella 99.
White Widow Veg Day 4
Rolling right along with this girl. She isn't quite as fast of an early grower as some of the previous strains but she looks good. Roots are getting down into the Stank Soil so I expect her to grow when she is ready. Not a lot to talk about when they are this age!
Day 4 look big! Is it from first signs of sprout? Or after it has completely sprouted with opened leaves?

Hey Flash, thanks for asking that. I know I posted it at the beginning of the journal but I know sometimes we have some new viewers that might not have started back then.
I use the following counting system for my grow. I start a week of seedling stage starting when it breaks the soil (i.e. seedling day 1 through seedling day 7). At day 7, my plants graduate from seedling stage into Veg. So Day 4 of Veg will be 4 days + the 7 days as a seedling which is really day 11 from seed. I start my seedlings under a T5 and about day 5 I start transitioning them out into the tent under the LED.
I also track flower in terms of two dates. I track from flip and from hairs. So you will see my flower updates say something like "Flip day 20, 10 days with hairs".

Were you going to do a staircase training on one of these? I can't recall which one it was now.
Thanks for all the explanations! And regarding your remark it s so true! People should always put the plant age whenever they post a picture

If the Northern Lights grows the way I want it to, I am going to try it with her (I need to keep her in veg for a while so I figure the staircasing would be a good way to do it). The Problem with this is that the plant does something different and it sparks a different idea. The NL has 10 tops now that I am considering topping for 20 mains plus any side branching.
I might have to plant an ATF seed and use it for the Staircasing....it generally has a great structure for it. Its tough Shed.....I get a plan in mind and then something else pops up or the plant starts growing differently and a light bulb goes on and you get a different idea.

But if I don't do it with the NL, I will attempt it with the WW.
I found a pic of one you did last grow and it was a great structure so I wanted to watch it happen in real life! I hear ya with plants having a mind of their own, like unruly children sometimes
. And when that light bulb goes on, make sure it's in the veg tent

for all the seed junkies, over on shn, duke diamond has opened his vault as he is trying to raise money to help his mother who has alzheimers... Theres a big post on instagram(i dont have instagram. Just use the google to keep tabs on the breeders i like) some really cool genetics are being sold and some rare ones at auction... And goes to a good cause

That was on the ATF and after monster cropping. I think ATF is a perfect strain for that type of training. Hey, maybe I will pop a DTF seed and see what it does and try a Staircase on that one.I found a pic of one you did last grow and it was a great structure so I wanted to watch it happen in real life!

Yeah I will be slowing down drastically on seed purchases. Bitcoin has run out for me.....lol...but it was a great run! I got a shit ton of seeds from an initial investment of about 350 bucks! Kind of hoping it crashes more so I can buy low again!

Jack Herer Auto Day 49
Haven't posted any pics of her in a while so I figured we were overdue. She is stretching a little, not much though. I keep plucking off 3 or 4 fan leaves every day and she keeps producing more tops. I have a feeling she is going to yield pretty good.....at least I hope so!
She got a big drink of ACT last night as well.....to the point of run off. Her run off was coming out in the 7.4 range as well. Would love to see how she would be doing if that pH was a bit closer to what I want. Certainly can't complain with her!
And a peak up her skirt to see what she is hiding.......
And some beginning bud shots.....

Be careful with horse manure...a lot of owners use meds and it transfers direct into the manure. So ask them. I get horse manure from my neighbors and I let it sit for 2-3 years.
Beautiful work VS! So many tops on that plant and it's still growing. USA USA!
