things looking good , i keep getting damn burn leaf tips, im pretty much out of space:( luckily i think shes done with her stretch and starting to focus on the buds yay!:blsmoke:but ive definitely learned so much with this meager attempt and im loving the experience so far. I have alot of fem seeds left but dont think im going to do any more with this little setup i have now, an upgrade is definately in order.. no point in growing in a way you know you wont yeild as much if you changed a few things around.

any ideas on a new setup that doesn't break the pocketbook im all ears;/

Lookin pretty good bro. If the tips are just slightly burnt or yellowing, you know you're at your max on nutes. I don't stress when I see this, I just know not to push it from there and to maybe do a flush or res change at that point. Purple leave stems are the early sign of magnesium deficiency. Mag def. can really take off in a negative way if not treated. Mag requires a Ph of 6.5 or higher to be absorbed in soil. I'd personally mix up a little cal mag into your next watering, Ph it at 6.8 and give it a little drink...not a soak, just enough to let it absorb the mag. Do you test your runoff water for Ph and ppms?

thanks for checking me out;/ the tips are burning because my area is small and they keep touching the lights, so its pretty much a daily chore of tucking leaves and moving things around to keep it under control. I've heard that about the purple stems but always discounted as like a genetic thing ... i will give her some magnesium and see what it does. And no i dont test the runoff;/ i dont even have a meter lol i just ordered a few seeds to give it a try. But i definately got the bug now , lots of reading , learning , and experimenting has me ready to invest a little. Whenever i get ready for my second run i have a barneys farm pineapple chunk fem, im thinking of trying . The latest thing i got was a 250x scope to check trich's when i get that far.
 
ohh that black cream sounds nice...
im getting ready to start putting a few of my veggies outside for a little each day, to try and transition them.
it wiil be intersting to compare indoor to outdoor growth.

yeah it does ;/ and for sure ive been preppin a nice spot out back with good sun and started the fem super haze freebie i got, its photoperiod so i think it will yeild better than the autos , you chop the critical yet?
 
Not yet.... It's only been flowering about 5 weeks. I think I have a bit longer to go. I think I was jumping the gun with the flushes. Could be another 3 weeks or so right?

and yeild!! lol autos are cool because they are super fast but they are on the small side. good to get your feet wet with though... and i dont know how long it will be;/ if you can zoom in on the trichomes with anything to see there color you'll know for sure, there are some really cheap handheld scopes on amazon, otherwise its kinda a guessing game the pistils can tell you a little but its not a sure thing. anyway its lookin really close :)

so what ya think??i notice the top part of the plant seems to be stressed from the heat ;/ heat rises and my cabinet is small so the highest parts are a little toasty.... im working on it though but its still going !:bigjoint:RSCN0271.JPG RSCN0270.JPG DSCN0255.JPG RSCN0269.JPG DSCN0258.JPG

well.. the second pics upside down but a made a rack to germ seedings under in the future, the small one is the super haze photo period going outside , and the rest is the super hash ;//
 
Nice Nube! Looking good. It will be nice to have that seedling set up if you start cloning that haze.
I wound up cutting down that Crit Auto a few days ago. Being patient while it cures is the hardest part so far!

sweeeet ! i bet it smells so good every time you pop the lid off the jar huh? and how did you clone? like did you use a rooting hormone ?
 
Yeah for cloning I think the key is cleanliness. Use alcohol to wipe your stuff down. I used a razor blade to cut blanches, split the stalk, scuff the outside of stalk, dip in hormone and stick in dirt. Trim all leaves in half as they will consume precious energy that should be focused on roots. I have them under a dome out of direct light now but used a baggy with rubberband when I started. I'm 8 out of 9 survival so far...

eh i think shes about 2 feet and a few inches , so many bud sites X ) the trim was nice hu? i dont doubt it it was frosty stuff. But having the patience to cure is good the weed will taste sooooooo much better then if you just hung it until it was smokeable. whats going on with the other ladies ? do you have any outside yet? The blueberry look sickly ive had it for a while now and its teeny lol so i put it outside in the dirt to see if the soil change or sunlight will help. Some seeds just dont deliver.. the super haze is doing great tho, probably a 1/4 as old as the berry but already twice as big. I am thinking i will do the black cream in the same setup i have once this girl finishes.
