FranJan, nice looking plants..

are those balls at the top just under the top cola second node

you need a plan to deal with the stretch, this is what happened in the last comp

Agreed, it is a haze, it is gonna stretch. Also, it has to sit a bit further from my lights than my big girls. They get priority. If it gets too tall, I'll just bend her over and tie her down. (Get your mind out of the gutter. )

I'm not overly concerned about it since I normally grow ~3.5 ft. plants and have grown some haze strains before. She is 13" right now, so there is enough room for her to triple in height. The stem is thick enough to support her (for now) and I'm only planning on growing a single cola. Maybe the lack of side-branches (trimmed off) is making it look more stretchy.

 

[PITTSBURGHFAN]

what kind of light are you using

 

[GrowBrooklyn]

Me? As mentioned earlier, two 200 watt bloom LEDs by CLW. Running 3x3 tent. They replaced a 400 watt HPS. The yield is a bit lower, but with the lower heat in the room I was able to add a 2x2 veg tent and a 2x2 mom tent.

Day 33 update: She is looking like a runway model, it is too bad I can't give her all the time she needs. So she is now showing signs of flowering, and you guys don't need to get all jealous that I have the best looking lady in the house and she agreed to be deflowered by me. If there are any women in the competition or just women looking at the competition, please don't be offended at my comments! Royal Queen CRITICAL for the win!!!

Everyone is looking pretty good out there, definitely a competitive crowd. I am so frustrated that I got all this work piled on during this competition, I am not normally this busy. I have been really close to dropping out of the competition considering I don't seem to have enough time to properly care for all my beauties, especially the lady in red. I have maybe 3 more weeks of balls to the wall work and then some TLC for my garden afterwards, this cup could be so much more beautiful than it already is.

Well fellas, give my beauty a kiss now because it is the only one you are gonna get before I take her flower in another 6 or 7 weeks.

Good luck to you all, hopefully I will find some more time to read up on all the posts soon because there is some funny shit going on here! Happy Growing!

I have this little beauty under a Solar Storm 400w, I feed her twice a week and just plain water twice a week, nutes are very mild, about a third less in strength than I use normally just to be safe.. She has grown quite a bit since this photo, and has started showing more signs of flowering, very good looking plant overall, glad I started another to put in my veg room.

Update 8- (I Think)

Well guess I shouldn't have gone away last weekend because after 60 hours alone that plant was near death's door. Got it back to health but it just keeps eating it's fan leaves. Then again the little pisher has been flowering since Jan 3rd so..... Anyway I actually de-potted the fucker, cleared out the marbles I was using for drainage and to help keep the roots from getting root bound (try it, you'll see), and filled up the empty space with Happy Frog. Don't know if it's too late, but screw it, it wasn't happening anyway for the simple reason you shouldn't run your flowering tent 10/14 in a 12/12 comp. LOL. Oh and clicking on the images will take you to MrNice.nl where you can embiggen them .

So what happens next? I gotta chop and weigh this sucker when it finally stops growing? And where's this host of ours?

weekly update: Day #62


Solute to you FranJan, and everyones grow looking good..
Hey you have to let all the contestants test your stuff, just to make sure its ok..

 

[FranJan]

Salute to you Sarge and everyone else. Everyone looks like they have something to teach me about growing in a cup. Well maybe not Greenghost so much . LOL jk

And Pyscho did you top Chewbacca on the left there?

 

[Psychonaughtical]

Yeah she's topped the smallest is fimmed and the other is displaying some awesome mutations so I'm letting it go natural

 

[puffenuff]

Don't worry Fran, I'm here, watching with an eye of envy. You guys are doing a killer job. Can't believe some of you are that close to harvesting. So yeah, when you are ready to chop just take some pics and do a wet and dry weight with some fancy bud porn. write up a nice description/summary and a smoke report if you have time. keep it up everyone, amazing to see everyone's progress.
