Above you can see the plants are beginning to crest and have stretched out as much as they can.
Below are some shots of the Lemon Skunk budding out nicely.




Below the White Lights are about a couple weeks behind the Lemon Skunk in budding but are budding nicely nonetheless.

Top photos: You can see now that two male plants have been removed (second photo)from the grow fridge, one lemon skunk male and a male White Lights. That leaves us with two females, one Lemon Skunk and one White lights female, nice! Though it looks like all the plants were grown in one large container, the plants were separated by my own make shift walls made out of cardboard inside the container. Would have been hell if they were all grown in the same container due to the roots getting tangled up together and making removing the males a chore and stressing the females right before they flower.





Once the males were put to rest I removed the make shift walls that were separating the plants before. Now the ladies are given more soil space for more root growth during flowering. As you can see I had to tie them down due to miscalculating the “flower stretch”. The ladies start to bud up nicely now but its mid summer and its a scorcher, temperatures are rising in the box and we are running out of space for bud growth, yikes! Check in to see how these ladies fare in part 5 coming next week.

Here are a couple videos of the G20 in Toronto that happened last month. People need to see the truth, Toronto was a police state that weekend. People had their civil liberties taken away from them when they needed them the most, being detained without counsel or even a charge for up to 24 hours in inhumane conditions. Illegal searches, secret laws, the list goes on..there is an inquiry being made into all these allegations.



There was also an actual G420 cannabis protest by the Hash Mob, a great group of cannabis defenders and activists based in Toronto.

When LED lighting first came out many growers began to complain that the LED lighting systems were not as strong or efficient as traditional growing HID lamps. Lower yields and longer growth cycles were a couple of the biggest complaints, so now a couple years later, the bigger, badder, EXTREME FLOWER LED has landed. Instead of using 1 watt LEDs, they use 3 watt LEDs with focused optics and 11 wavelengths of light color to simulate mother nature. They are available at the highest wattage of 740watts which manufacturers claim is equivalent to a 1000 watt HPS. Yields from these new bulbs are comparable to HIDs now so for those who have been waiting for the right time to try LEDs, now seems to be a good time. Make sure its the 3watt bulb LEDs when you purchase.

LED lighting uses less energy saving you money on your electric bill, also it doesn’t require a big heavy ballast to power it up, you just plug it in! LED bulbs last 5 years opposed to one year with HID lighting. No more dealing with sensitive and dangerous mercury filled light bulbs and sharp edged reflectors. LED lighting also runs much cooler saving you on having to buy large air conditioning units and extra fans.
One thing that growers have problems with the most is keeping the heat down in their grow box, now you can maintain the right temps for your grow easily.

Below is a 600watt LED grow proving you can grow some nice buds.
