We're in the last week of one incredibly hellish ride.

We started with a bed of 10 babies, that were growing healthy on top but the roots were suspended, when we got the call. Our landlord had to have an inspection done on our residence for insurance purposes. We both just wanted to cry.

So, two days before the appointment we headed downstairs to take care of the task set before us. Dismantling light hoods, draining the bed and reservoir, removing the walls and last but not least... disposing of the plants. In this process we also lost 6 clones. *sob* But, being risk-takers, we placed 4 of the best looking plants in a reservoir with about 3 inches of water in it, snapped on the lid and piled it beside everything else. It looked just liked anyone else's basement with their assortment of "junk" piled around.

The inspector came... walked through the house with me and went on her merry way. We heard nothng from the landlord, so; up went the walls, in went 4 holding buckets, the res, lights and a fan.

The plants wilted, the leaves curled up and turned yellow, but what's this? The roots were FINALLY growing. *happy grin*

The plants are now only one week away from cultivation and we think they might possibly be the best that have ever come down. Who'd a thunk it?

The hardest part now is trying to figure out how to duplicate the whole process!?

Mad dog

any time you can bring back the kind to its full potential i believe you have succeeded in your duties as a grower. as for repeating the procoess and depriving them of light i wood not reccomend that. but good luck on a great yield anyhow.post final results for the ladies if you dont mind i wood like to hear the ending to this one. keep on tokin,Md

I had a similiar problem a short time ago. My landlady has a commercail rental agency rent out the property where i live, and they write into their rental agreements that they come around a maximum of 2 times a year to ensure we aren't wrecking the place or lowering the value of the flat. anyhow my plants were ranging from 20" to 26" high and were doing beautiful when i got a letter announcing a visit the next week. I have 2 cars, one going and one not. the morning of the visit i moved all the plants, (4 nice tall ones and 2 small 6" saplings) into my old car, locked it with sun shades up and sprayed areosol air freshener around my flat.
When I got back that after non from work, and pulled my plants out of my old car, i found the heat had shriveld the top two nodes of each, so my plants lost 4" on average. but now they are doing well again, and seem to have recovered from the topping.
2 later turned out to be males, but the 2 females are beautiful, they're just starting to flower, the white hairs are visable, and the colas are about the size of the first joint of my little finger. i can't wait for the next 8 weeks to finsih.

Just wanted to let y'all know that we cropped down the four plants and got 14 oz's. We were happy with the results to say the least!

oops

My plants are gone. two beautiful females, and two hopefull looking seedlings, gone, kidnapped by the nasty cops.
Still on the bright side, I only got a warning, no fine and no jail. but still, i wish the cops would stick to major things like corrupt politicians and crimes, rather than ripping up our efforts at being independant.

what strain were you growin? and how old were your 4 ladies at harvest? 14 oz from 4 indoor plants is damn good!!

Wolphy Grrrl

Sorry Smoky! I have no idea... the original clones were received 3 years ago. We're simply reaping the benefits of an incredible strain. We've got 4 more in the incubator as I type this.

SmokyRobnsn

but how old were those 4 plants (vegetative + flowering)??

Wolphy Grrrl

Seven weeks vegetation and eight weeks in flower. This isn't always consistent. This was an incredibly odd situation as you can guess.
Normally it's six weeks in veg and seven weeks in flower, but we're opting to try the longer period for the results. It was more than 14 when we initially made the cut. Our "keep" left us with 14.
