The Marijuana chronicles

[Bennyweed1]

I couldnt resist..... I took a jack flash outta flower to get some pics and see what this thing can do free hand. I wanna know what white shade people think looks better??

This first round is a natural white shade setting. The light being used to light this area is your standard fluorescent tube shop light.

 

[Bennyweed1]

The next set is the same plant using a different white shadow setting. This is more setup to be used when florescent light is present.

I dont know which looks better?

 

[Jnugg]

they both look good but the second shows way more frost

 

[Bennyweed1]

Still messing around with the white balance. Apparently I'm having to much fun.....

 

[Bennyweed1]

And here is the same nug with a diff white balance, still deciding.

Marijuana, does the body good

Whats going on people? Everything is going nice and smooth over here, how ever, I could use a good cleaning. Its so difficult for me to keep my production area clean. I think its a mixture of to much shit going on and not having the proper space layout.

Things I wish I had, a nice shop vac, a nice shop bench, a nice soil mixing apparatus, and more shelving.

That would sure make it easier to stay organized and tidy. The vac I should have, but everything else is stuff I cant really setup until I own my own place.

Any who, Im gonna post my weekly update today, although the rotation isnt until Tuesday.

Here is the Veg tent. The furthest row is 6 wks old and is going into bloom come tuesday. The closest row is 3 wks old and will be transplanted into larger pots tuesday for their last 3 wks of veg. The tiny cuts in the lower left will go into small 1 gallon pots and start their 6 weeks of veg. If you look far right first row, youll see my first rooted cuts of the white russian x white widow and critical sensi star. Cant not wait to them girls through! That WRxRR is gonna be nasty, I just know it.....The rotation................

Jack Flash @ 6 wks

Here is some grand daddy purple headed into her last 3 weeks of bloom come tuesday:

Here is jack flash going into the same last 3 wks.

These girls are in the soil beds. Been fed three times with an aact, gonna hit'em one last time sometime this week once I brew one up.

Here is Great White Shark, she is coming down on tuesday

(Damn....I just noticed that bug looking thing chilling under the leaf looking like total creeper. What do ya think it is? The lil prick has gotta be high as a motha' trucka')

I checked out my lil outdoor spot yesterday so I took some quick pictures while I was there.

This is a gorilla and I started it late around June 1st so the girls missed about an additional 30 days of veg. Im hoping for 1-1.5lb of dry weight, ill be extremely pleased considering this outdoor plot has been basically a plant'em and forget'em routine.

I am not so sure the strains, its a blend of what I currently have going indoors. I didnt bother to label and identify them.

Frosty goodness...

Check this out. I found a dead bee. I mean, I see shit like this on my outdoor plants plenty time a year but, this is my first time seeing it on a indoor plant.

Dude is dead as a door nail.

(edit....I notice more shit when looking at these zoomed pics then I do when im standing right next to the plant....you see that dead bug stuck to the bee's ass? That is another bug isnt it??.....effin' weird bro)

And these girls are really packing on the weight now. They come down 10/2/13

Here is a nice comparison...picture taken 9/4/13:

Same plant on 9/14/13:

And here is some delicious jack flash aka whacko jacko

These girls are getting their last tea in two days. This should be a good yield this round...

everything looks nice, hopefully you get a fat outdoor harvest to compliment your indoor endeavors.

That bug looks like a fungus gnat. I'm dealing with them right now and have been seeing a bunch of dead bugs just like that lately. If you can see flyers like that, then it means that there is larvae in the dirt. If I was you I would get soe mosquito dunks and water them in with the quickness. Those little fuckers can ruin a yield fast. They may be part of the reason your not hitting your goal. Anyways, so yeah mosquito dunks and yellow sticky cards to catch the flyers. It works and i'm already seeing improvement in mine.

Thanks for the info amigo! I already use them mosquito dunks, I had huge problems with knats about a year ago. Some will argue the present of knats in a organic soil dont mean anything and others will say they are they devil!!

I think it comes down to opinion and your level of patients for bugs. Me personally I dont like them, a few here and there is the state of nature with organic soil.....anyway....

I dont know if is it a knat or not but I am not experiencing a problem (knock on wood) I just thought it was cool I had a bee in there. Never seen that before on my indoor garden. I do have a 650cfm fresh outdoor intake so I know bugs make it through that once in a while.

Cheers, thanks again dude. I will keep my eye out for sure.

Being the earth is round and the sun only lights from the side, you could consider your plants part of the worlds largest vert garden
