sorry its been a minute but things getting back to normal. dude you are killin it rocking the house doing your home work. not to mention a detailed and fun thread. for the great work you got the AFN vibe

^^Yeah, That!^^

I definitely love it here at AFN and il be heading to the new photo site to document Jackie there if she makes it.

IF what? No if and or buts allowed! I'm just kiddin' you. She looks great though, along with every thing else. I'm hooking a 150w hps up today. I've never used 1 so I wanted to start off small (and cheap $65). Can't wait to read some smoke reports bud. Take care.:smoking:

Well i accidentally snapped clean off one of the smaller side colas on # 2 last night I took it apart and brown bagged some of it and hung the very top to dry. Looks like il have some early head smoke for the day in a few weeks when i harvest for real.

One question for you guys. The inside of the buds closer to the stem seemed to be a very pale green compared to the outside. Any thoughts on this?

I will do my best to keep Jackie around as long as i can in the hopes of being able to flower her when i move. She does look quite pretty and ive started some LST on her to try and widen her out. Good luck with that 150w HPS! My girls were already way into flower so i havent noticed much difference besides saving space sofar.

Oh crap, I forgot to update last night! Will do it tonight for sure.

Well i had to run off of my 2 generators since tuesday... The big one for the grow and a small one for me. Dam tree took out the power and phone lines so that really sucked.

So here is the very late update on the NLx BB family. I forgot to take pictures of Lemon and Jackie and dont have the energy to pull them back out. I will update them on their own tomorrow at some point.

First gen is on Day 73. These girls just keep on going. I just hope they will be almost ready when i need to harvest since the date is not too flexible.

NL x BB Fem Auto #1 The main cola on this one is huge! Still the healthiest of the 3 besides a little heat damage.

NL X BB Fem Auto #2 This one slowed down a little since the accident but still doing nicely.

NL X BB Fem Auto #3 Still alive. Looks like she will make it to the end. I was sure i was going to lose this one a few times.

Second Gen is at DAY 66.

NL X BB Fem Auto #4 Shorty is still packing on some weight that more than makes up for her small stature

NL X BB Fem Auto #5 I am going to need to post a better picture of this one. The top just exploded compared to the rest of the plant. Hard to see with Jackie in the background....

NL X BB Fem Auto #6 This one has not exploded as much at the top. Either due to the higher amount of lower bud sites or it wasent getting enough blue from the HPS. Its now in the tanning bed to see if it makes a difference.

The samples were a very nice preview of what is to come of this strain and its going to be great! The second sample that came from the accident shows improved density over the first which is great.

I switched some things around a little. I now have #1-3 under the 430W HPS, #5-6 Have the tanning bed all to themselves, #4 and Lemon are under the T5/8 Hybrid and Jackie is in the middle of it all and getting some pretty decent light. Going to have to keep an eye on the heat for sure.

If anyone wants to see the actual setup of it all or more of any of the plants let me know. I had to take out my backdrop for now because it was getting in the way and got on my nerves a little but it does make for much crappier pictures. Going to need a real camera for harvest thats for sure.

Grow on folks!

Plants look great CF ...

Looks like it's going to be a sweet harvest!

If anyone wants to see the actual setup of it all

I wanna' see! I got my 150w hps, and tent up and running. I still have some stuff to do, but it is functioning. I still need to add the LEDs too...I have added bigger plants lol, this was just after set up. My single photo (amnesia) is in the smaller cab. I guess she my Jackie. Haha Amy it is.

Here is a pic of Amy this morning. Shes about 7-8" tall and 16" wide. (20" corner to corner, she filling in to a square)

Those plants are looking great man. I hope your proud of yourself, you should be. Till later take car bud.:smoking:

Ask and ye shall receive! haha

First off, great looking tent Fuggzy and more space for ya! Are you going to be keeping the smaller cab going as a veg cab or something? It would be a shame to just cancel out the space you worked hard on.
Nice to know Jackie has a cousin somewhere with a similar fate haha. Im going to take clones from her to flower with her someday and maybe a few for outside.

Now to how i have things setup right now, from left to right.

Here we have the NLxBB first generation under the 430W HPS.

Here is Jackie smack dab in the middle of it all getting some pretty decent light.

In the back we have NL x BB #4 and #5 with the tanning bed all to themselves.

And lastly we have #4 and Lemon under the homemade T5/8 hybrid light.

Here is an overview of it all. and yes those are ratchet straps.

And there you have it, for now anyways. I have only had it like this for a little while and having issues with overall heat so i might switch things all around again once i find the motivation to do so.

I am very proud of what i have learned and achieved these past few months and i cant wait to properly enjoy some quality meds that suit my needs perfectly. I have AFN to thank for most of it. I havent asked any questions but you can find anything on autos here if you look hard enough.

Thanks again everyone!

Thanks man. I am keeping the micro cab for the time being. I've got a couple ideas, and they both involve Amy. For the time it depends if I flower this Amy (i have 2 more fem seeds), or clone her ass out. Most likely I'll make clones to pollinate, and just keep all the pollen separate from the 2 tents.

I'm working on a photo X auto project, and Amy is the mom. The father is a Psyco Fruit X Guerrilla Ryder that was 40% purple, smelled like skunkberry pie, and gave me a raccoon mask feeling. I dubbed him Crazy Ape. Ironically I got both of these strains free, and are some of my favorites yet. So far I have 32 seeds. I'm not sure what I want to call it, of course thats if it comes out favorable. 3-4 generations to go...

I've got ~30 strains between autos, and photos, and most are reg seeds. The next photo I want to play with is some Night Terror OG. I've got 12 seeds just waiting for their moment. Regardless of strain though, I'll be saving pollen from all of them.

As for the ratchet strap.... It's an upgrade from the suspended weight. Don't think I missed the mega blocks either! You have been become an accomplice in a theft from my son. I hope your proud of that too. Till later bud.:smoking:

Wow thats alot of strains to play with. I wouldnt even know what to germ haha. I think im going to stick to the NL xBB and add 1 strain every new grow as i expand.

Haha yea the mega blocks have really come in handy to raise pretty much anything and keep it stable. I am kind of proud of that one, especially if you can used the idea.
