yah I live in a crack neighborhood right now so thats a plus to get outta there I am pretty scared of getting robbed so I only have 6 plants...new place is a fortress and I already have materials for 20-30 plants...so as soon as I can harvest these ladies I can start on a bigger scale

i got some time to finish them up. I was thinking about a week until they really get full... I'm gonna take the proper time. The bad news is I won't be able to take pics this week

how many days have these girls been flowering? From my experiance, and I've got 6 grows under my belt now, is that for optimum meds they should flower 5-10 days longer than the suggested flower time by the breeder. Most 55-60 day strains i flower for 65 days. Either way your super duper close to the finish...
I'll check back in a few weeks for a harvest/pic report! don't let me down beej, I need to see pics of the deadhead finished!!! JK

hahaha I won't let you down...both are 60 day flower.. One of the products i'm using Grower's Secret Professional has apparently been shown to get you through flower sooner. I originally called bullshit because genetics are genetics...but I'm definitely real close. Gonna keep an eye on the scope and get them when they are ready.

Quick update: photos 1 and 2 are the atomic northern lights pic 3 is the deadhead...sorry for shitty pics but when you ask someone to do it you dont get the best results. The one thing i Noticed is the yellowing of the leaves. I started flushing before I moved and they have been yellowing since (kinda expected that) what I didn't expect was that they would take this long to mature...this has definitely been a hassle trying to move these things around town while moving locations. I tried to go to harvest before the move but they look just too damn good to cut

Hey Beej, great looking girls man. your time frame is close to mine, I picked up up Deadhead OG from Harborside. Its a great strain and much easier than bluedream that I am growing next to it. today is day 61 of flower and they should be ready by Friday. Its a 60 day strain but I counted from day one of 12/12 instead of when I noticed the first hairs so its about 65 day strain from day 1 of 12/12. I am not organic but would lover your opinion on my Deadhead as its my first attempt to grow anything. :edit: pictures are from day 60.

hey mrecio looking good in terms of overall health, trichs look damn good...I noticed the led's u run those full time? The one thing I notice is your lack of yield...I got my clones from harborside too and mine are def a lot bigger. Whats your set-up and nutes? Let me know that and I can give you some insight. But overall your first attempt? you got a strong base to grow on dude it looks fantastic! I say the flowering date is a guide look at ur trichs. When they are almost all cloudy they are time to cut. In that middle pick looks like you are there (or it could be a reflection)

Thanks for the positive feedback I appreciate it. I did research off and on for a year before I was confident to try a first attempt. I am doing a SoG using clones with no veg time and ran into an issue my first week with slime, by the time I got it corrected the plants were fully in flower and never stretched an inch. Because of that i debated on stopping and cutting some new clones but push on for the experience and confidence it would give me. my next round the plants will go through 1 week of veg after clone and should get a nice stretch which will help yield. I use the LED for flower and a T5 for veg, you only see it in the one picture because it was off in the first two and I was just using the camera flash. I was unsure of the LED but it has proven to me that it can produced great quality buds. my moms are about 3 feet and have to be pruned every 3 weeks or they outgrow their tent. i didn't think I would get that kind of growth with the 5.5 inch pots they are in.

Setup is Ebb and Flow in a 2x2 table with 5.5 inch pots. Nutrient line up is Dyna-Gro using bloom, protekt, mag pro @ 750-900ppm on .5 scale depending on the week and tap water. I am happy with the nutrients as PH has been rock solid and I can go 2 weeks between reservoir changed and maybe 1 ph adjustment. Light is an Area51 LED and is 180 actual watts. Temps range from 73-82 and humidity is between 40-55%. If i forgot anything let me know, I welcome any advice you could give.

damn dude sounds like you got it pretty much dialed in. The only think I wonder why veg for so short? If you went a little longer you would have better roots, stronger stocks, and more nodes.
