Thanks for all the help guys, I'm thrilled to say that this is the last week of flowering. I'll start flushing on Tuesday and mostly likely hack it down either next Thursday or Friday. I'm so fucking stoked. I'm really hoping some of the nugs pack on harder although the only one that seems to be doing good is the middle cola that I didn't tie to the side like the other colas.

mmmm ok. i'm starting to see some discoloration. The deep green of the leaves are turning into a yellower green. The tips of the leaves are brown. Is it time to pull it yet?

no, that's normal. by harvest, all huge fans will be ugly, leaving you with long lush resin coated sativa style buds :)

ok so yeah, i got a half ounce dry. the smoke isn't great, its rough and i don't think i had flushed it out properly. i'll post pics of the harvest, the hanging and whatnot later on when i'm not studying. the high is awsome on the contrary though. next time i do this i hope more people are tuned in to help me a bit. flushing absolutely slipped my mind until the final like, 6 days.

so this is what i have in mind for the next grow:

i'm going to start a mother plant with the current ghetto setup i have going. vegetate for about a month or so until its mature enough to start clones. i'm going to have it under about 8x 23watts for the mother.

hopefully after the mother and clones are ready, i'll vegetate the clones for another 3 weeks. hopefully by then i'll have a better light system. i plan on hitting the plants with 315 watts of cfl power with a reflector (i didn't have a reflector this grow). with this system i plan on lst'ing again into a ScrOG and veg for probably another month and then flowering.

the new light system will have 1x 105W 5000K and 2x 105W 6700K for veg and the same 5000K bulb with 2x 105W 2700K bulbs for flowering. i'm thinking about doing about 6 plants. or 8 if the size of the lights permit. its a 2.5'x2.5' reflector so i'm assuming maybe a 2'x2' space.

yeah... i let my go at least 70... if you have clones, let them go longer next time.

Congrats on your first LST grow! I just started the LST process on my AK-48's and I have a question. How far around the pot did you go?

Thanks.

I started in the middle of the pot. I pulled it back one side to the edge. Then the tip was pulled another like, 4-5 inches along the edge of the pot.

To be honest with you, I wish I had started the seed more toward the side of the pot. That way I could LST the diameter instead of just the radius.

Do you think I should flower for 8 weeks then? I don't have a scope to check for trichs. Did you let them flower longer based on trich traits?



Also I finally realized that I am horrible at curing and let the weed dry out too long.
