1st Grow Cfl

[Bird Gymnastics]

They're so cute! ^___^

I would have to say ADORABLE! ha ha but hopefully they will be sexy in a couple months It's crazy how all of the plants are trying to imitate the biggest POG. We have two other strains in there but they all look fairly similar...but you can obviously tell which are "great" genetics and bagseed lol

Thats some very orange looking bud (pic 5), is your set up the same as your last grow?

I will still be using the cab I grew this baby in for one flowering plant and/or cloning chamber. We will see. For that grow we will be using the closet we have already set up plus a 4x2x6' tent. We will either be using a 400w CMH or 2 150HPS but we will see what happens here in a month or two. We might still use CFLs through out our whole grow but if I have some extra money I will be getting those better lights.

quick question, how the flying fruitcake did you get your stem so thick on such a small plant !?!

You can see my stem?? Haha are you talking about my new grow and seedlings or my baby flowering?? If it is the seedlings just good genetics man. If you are talking about my flowering girl I have no idea. Just consistant feeding schedules and good airflow. Be more specific and I'll try to answer better. lol

Good airflow. I've had a box fan blowing on mine the whole time and they are thick as hell. Now I'm just worrying because they haven't filled out yet and the pistils are starting to turn brown.

That doesn't sound too good bro. You should post pics on your thread or on here and see if anyone can help diagnose it for you. Browning is no good in new growth...

I'm at day 60 of flower. Today I'll be taking a bunch of pics to show you the growth since my last update. She is starting to get super frosty. Hopefully you can tell from the pictures. Stay tuned...I just noticed my update of 60 days of flower will be my 420th post. Pretty ironic eh? lol

 

[Bird Gymnastics]

Here it is...I also have some 10x and 15x pictures. Let me know what you think about being clear or amber? Happy Smoking

 

[SHONOFF98]

That is freakin beautiful man!

 

[cannaboy]

Success!. Couldn't look better

how would you say the bud looks? Still pretty clear eh?

 

[cannaboy]

Yea..Looks like it has some time left..clearish trichs. But I see that as a good thing cause it means those buds still not as fat as they are gonna be when done.

 

[Bird Gymnastics]

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't 100% sure on how amber it was. I was figuring about a week or so anyways so I hope it gets bigger and more crystally!

Hey BG, those pics look phenomenal bro!!!!!!! Well done.

A note about judging ripeness, from what I've learned. The first thing you look for is receding and reddening hairs (pistils). In your plant, the hairs are still mostly white and definitely not receding yet. Once most hairs have receded into the buds (sort of shriveled up), then it's time to inspect the trichs.

So I guess what I'm saying is that it looks like you have a few more weeks left, more than you expected. I'd guess about 3 weeks honestly. Just my opinion of course, but I'm pretty confident about the hairs thing. Yours look very white and un-receded, so that's a clear sign to me that she has a while left.

Either way, she really is looking fantastic, keep it up man!

Thanks for the advice Homer. I will keep that in mind when I go to look at her trichs next week or the following week. I figured she had awhile longer just wasn't sure exactly how long. 3 weeks is your guess?? I am curious to see how accurate you are So monday will be week 9...I guess she is a late bloomer lol

 

[gobskiii]

nice little micro grow man, but i agree with everyone else definitely have a couple more weeks.

 

[homer371]

haha, well don't hold me to that exactly. but i do think about 3 weeks. if you can estimate, then you can decide how much longer to feed.... i had an issue my first grow. thought she was gonna be done in 10 days and started flushing. kept flushing for a total of 18 days, and it stunted her yield for sure. anywho... so if it's 3 more weeks, then you could feed a couple more times probably...

 

[Bird Gymnastics]

Well she has had 2 waterings with no nutes but since she does seem to have a little bit longer life then I expected I figure I will hit her with some nutes here on tuesday. Then that should give me about 3 more waterings before she is gonna be chopped. Some of the growers I have met in Az have advised me to keep watering with pure RO to get a better end taste. The last watering I gave her the drain off was still pretty yellowish/brown from the built up nutes in the soil, but it has shown a huge difference from last week to yesterday when I watered. Alot more clear runoff. All in all I could care less about yield at this point. I really just want her to taste good since the smell has started to really become phenominal!

 

[homer371]

glad to hear she's smelling good! and yeah, i agree a 2 week flush sounds about right... it's when you start pushing beyond that it's worth planning for. peace
