Nicely done again growbewan dude how's the dinafem widow coming along

coming along awesome..i just changed the light schedule over today to 12/12 im expecting some great things from her. im not sure if im gonna just stay on this thread or start another one for my photo plants..technically this is still my "first" grow, so ill probably just stay.

yo brother, if ur having Fungus Knat problems. Go to the hardware store or farming center and buy/get some "PLAY SAND" yeah dont get ne ideas and play in it. Ne who, pour that shit out all over the top or your potting soil in your pots and fill em up about a half inch to an inch. The reason for doing this, is that the Fungus Knats cant burrow through it cause its too heavy, but when you water/feed it can!!!



Good Luck

thanks for the help sticky, but i dont have any issues with fungus gnats anymore. i use mosquito dunks and ill never use another method ever again. one dunk in with the water i give rids them all within a week~all while im watering them at the same time. couldnt be any easier or more effective. Sand is great and all, but with the fans i have blowin' around my tent, it would just be one big mess.

Won't Perlite do the same thing ?

no perlite is too thick. sand is very fine and fills in very nice, however im not sure if you read my reply to sticky, but if you have a gnat problem go to walmart and get "mosquito dunks". they are miracle workers. if you have any further questions about that just let me know, and ill help ya out.

How long did you let them hang dry???Also what was the humidity?are you following TBM dyy/cure guide? Anyways great harvest bro +rep

Lol people seem to be getting off track here Growbro. Anywho. I've tried to Rep you, WVR and Prezdickie and all 3 say I must spread it around. Well I'm trying here but everyone I try I got to spread it around. I'm almost at the point of randomly repping someone just so I can Rep the 3 that deserve it. Looks like I gotta keep looking
For someone else that deserves rep so I can get you guys. Don't worry I will eventually. The Captain never forgets. Great Job bro on your first grow. Personally I would start a new thread under photosynthesis growing. Since they are photos and your auto grow was a success.

@cap' no worries my man. youve given me great tips along the entire way~and thats worth more than any +rep I can get. Thanks for the help..it goes a long way.
@growdawg, thanks for the rep my man, and yes i am following the cure thread, with some modifications. I followed the hang formula only i had to take them down 2 days earlier than the formula said. My RH was at 50-60 and i jar'd them after 5 days of hanging. The Rh% in my jars is @60-61 RH. I burb them about 2-3 times a day~whenever i get a chance.

Ok Update on the photo's: I tried to slightly lst them a little bit ago, and the first one i did, i streched the string too far, it bent right in half (the stalk) fuck! im not too concerned, but i hope the top half doesnt die off. if it does ill just snip it @ the break and itll heal just fine, just no main cola. I still kept the string/zip tie slightly looped around the stalk and its tied to the HPS to actually stopping from bending over too far~hopefully that helps.
The other one, i was a little gunshy so i just ever so slightly curved it and tied it down..ill try to go a little farther tomorrow. These plants are fuckin huge! lol
Ps-I think your right cap..ill start my other photo thread maybe tomorrow. ill keep ya'll posted. I also started 2 of the photo's on bloom nutes...should I wait until they start flowering or right now soon as i changed the light schedule? Ill wait if I have to, one feeding isnt gonna be a big deal anyhow id imagine. Ok, thats it for now! Thanks for following everyone!
Ill post a pic of the photo/auto size comparison in a minute..sorry for all the rambling, its like my 3rd time getting really baked in a REAL long time! lol

Awesome shots, dude! Glad to see you get some more pics up. Where are the boobs? haha Just kidding. Great job dude, seriously.

 

[growbewan]

ok, here is the size comparison's pics 1,2, and four are the two recently harvested auto's, next to my oldest photo..pic 3 are my other 3. the tallest in pic three is roughly the same size as the tall one in the other~just to give a size comparison on the other two photo's. shorter 2 are around 3 ft tall, the taller 2 are about 4 feet..add about 16 inches with the pots.
