My First Indoor Stealth Grow

Probably at least 4 more weeks.

Nice tower Zigzagreef - I agree with B3RNY - you better support that tower because she will start to fill out in a week or two.

ty for info... should i trim any of the fan leaves to give buds more light? Also i kinda need to find something to magnify the buds....really ready for this to be over with rdy to toke!!!

Yea man, you can cut it whenever you want but most strains flower in around 8 weeks.. you'll notice they gain most of their weight in the last 2 weeks of flower, so you really don't want to take her to early. When did you start 12/12? It looks like it's right around 4 weeks in but it's hard to tell sometimes.

I used to trim fan leaves but I leave most of them now, it's only really necessary if you have really thick foliage blocking light from some of your significant sized nugs, kind of a judgement call. I'd leave em, but you may want a 2nd opinion before you listen to me. Lol.

12/12 from seed but ill wait those 4 weeks then chop chop.... underneath those fan leaves is alot of t.h.c. glands very strong smell on fingers when touched.

Nice! Sounds good man, she's pretty tall looking for a flower-from-seed. I tried that out my very 1st indoor grow, except it didn't turn out very well. Hahahaha.

Lol ikr i think that happen when i switched to a bigger pot and box also what happen on that first grow of urs? If you go back in my journal it was a small plant then it just jumped compared to the other plant i had along with it that turned out a male chopped it down an buried it in some moist soil to decompose to reuse later.

I wouldn't cut any leaves during flowering - maybe take off dead or dying - If you chop a leaf during flower she will only waste energy growing two to replace it.

On my 1st indoor grow, I pinched a plant to try and supercrop it. It makes the stem swell up and increases yields but you're not supposed to do it in flower because it causes too much stress, it mad my plant grow male and female flowers. (Noob mistake, I wasn't new to growing but I was certainly new to High-Stress Training techniques.)
You can trim fan leaves during anytime throughout the growing cycle, just remember that they do not ever grow back. The fan leaves are like solar panels for your nuggetry- it's where they draw their energy from. So, it's really best to leave as many of them on there as possible; unless it is seriously blocking the light from a significantly sized flower.
One time I trimmed every leaf on a plant I had in flower, leaving no fan leafs at all- just buds. It didn't hurt it or cause it to waste energy on new leafs, but it did stop the bud growth almost completely. You've kind of got to experiment on that but since your plant is mostly 1 big cola, you shouldn't have any light blocking problems. But consider this, even Jorge Cervantes (author of The Grow Bible) will tell you to trim a few leaves if your canopy is too thick.
Next grow try running 2 of the same strain, the same nutrients, etc. and trim 1 of them while leaving the other one and see what works best for ya. I have been growing for quite some time and I still trim leafs here and there, in flower and sometimes vegetative phases.
Good growin' man! And Good Luck! You will have some nice smoke soon, no matter what you decide!!

canopy is fine just let her go and watch her buy you a microscope or a 420 scope and when the trichomes are between 50% and 65% amber it is perfect for harvest. if you harvest while all the trichomes are still clear it will be a clearer more heady high snd if you wait till there almost all amber it will be a thicker heavier stone this goes for indica or sativa. i like the balanced high so i cut at 50%

ty your helpful info ill update in 4 weeks

Oh - can I have weekly updates please? I'd like to see her fill out now I've met her and we are bud buddies

Most of the white hairs tips are brown/red does that means its rdy or the whole white hair all the way down to the bud has to be brown/red?

Ill update with a pic later.

Erm, dont look at the hairs look at the globules (trichomes) on the buds bud - are the cloudy or clear? any amber looking?

Look at my tw 3 weeks ago.



Yesterday

well i have a 40x micro scope comming in this week so ill let u know but with the naked eye they look clear also the tips of the leaves are turning brown also
