That's right, growing some Nirvana Bubblelicious fem seeds. I grew the autos last year and for a quick grow and TERRIBLE conditions, they actually didn't come out that bad. I will only be growing 1 plant, MAYBE 2 not including the Tahoe og seed I found in a nug(hoping its a bitch :hump:) I have to keep these hidden, so I will be lst'ing them and hiding them in my tomaters. Hopefully I can keep up with posting. I got lazy towards the end of my grow last time and didn't follow up with finished pics. I will be growing in Kellog patio plus and FFOF 50/50(after reading another poster who did the same with good results. I have some sea bird guano blood meal and some soil from my raised bed. Its sifted and looks rich, it was full of worms and I did leave some of the veggies in there to get composted. I will post a pic of it. Idk how much of it I should add to my soil. Also, should I add the meal and guano? I will be in 5 gal buckets. Hoping to grow some dank outdoor :twisted:

Went to my local hydro shop to pick up some FFOF and nutes. I got the botanical line of nutes. CN17? For veg and then ripe for flower. Thats what the guy recommended. I'm confused though, I live in socal(Los Angeles region) and the guy told me that you can't have mj outdoors, that we are already in bloom. I asked him to explain and he kinda sounded like an idiot. Made me doubt myself. Weed need 12hrs or more of dark to flower correct? We are at like 14-15hrs of light right now. Ugh, I wish he wouldn't have confused me so I could have explained to HIM that they will be in veg right now. bleh. Anyway, I have my 2 seedlings in peat pots right now(tahoe and bubble) so nothing much yet. I did take a pic of a hummingbird playing in my sprinkler.(will post it tomorrow) It was pretty neat! I love nature. :]

Resurrected. Sorry, I didn't have a camera and I FINALLY got one. My girl is doing great, showing some pre flowers, may actually be budding, but I am a newb. Going to start feeding her some of the cns17 bloom formula when I go buy some tomorrow. I LST'd her and had her growing under a metal pole, but that caused problems when it acted as a fulcrum and caused the stem to snap. Bandaged her up and she is getting a nice knot, now I only have the main stem tied down in one spot. My tallest branch is about 2ft. Well here she is. (ps, lost the pic of the bird. Damn, it was awesome haha)

Its not a written rule of nature that you need 12/12 for flowering. The plant detects that the days are getting shorter and its getting less light thus inducing it to flower. Not all strains will flower at the same time and even phenotypes within a given strain will be different but overall they will probably all start flowering within a few weeks time from of each other.

I know. I wasn't wondering when it was going to flower(it already is, I have determined lol) was just wondering if it was or not haha. Thanks for the feedback though.

I'm excited to see the roots when I pull her, I stuck my finger in to check the soil and there were roots about a knuckle deep. My plants never seem to ever grow intense roots, and by plants, I mean all of my garden plants.

That plant look like it's loving it outside. Real healthy looking. Keep up the good work. Oh yea I think you will get more than 2 zips.. plants outside always get a higher yield.

Just picked up some cal/mag and gave her some of that to prevent any deficiencies, should I use it every watering like it says? not at all till problems arise? Or every other watering? I don't want to give her something that's not necessary. The shop was out of the botanicare bloom. Is there any other good nute I can use? I already have the ripe for later.

My lower leaves are starting to yellow, moving up the plant, looks exactly like N def. Only problem...I just fed her some grow nute. She is flowering, but it seems awfully soon for the leaves to be turning yellow. When do leaves usually start to yellow? I am flushing her now(is that even necessary) and going to start feeding her flowering nutes on mon. Could that be why she is yellowing? Lack of the bloom nutes so the plant is taking it from the leaves?

What would be a good feeding schedual? I know it varies plant by plant nute by nute, but a basic guideline? I was going to go every other watering with a dose of ripe/ cal+mag. But now I am thinking every other OTHER watering lol. Well anyway, here are the pics. Cant wait till she starts to swell up. :weed:

So, pretty sure the yellowing is N def. How should I go about feeding her? I have been flushing. I was going to do half strength veg and full bloom, hit her with a full dose of just veg..or? Any help appreciated.

Nope, no spots, just a slow yellowing of the leaves till they eventually turn that pale/yellow color...then fall off. Almost certain its N. So what would be a good way of feeding em?

Ughh, stupid yellowing :( I foliar fed with veg nutes and have been adding a little with the bloom. I feed her every other watering...I think I may have slowed it down a little, but meh..I wish it would just stop. She never really had BRIGHT green foliage and its pro my fault because I think I only fed her once or twice during veg. (I thought she was getting nute burn from the soil but I think I was just being paranoid/inexperienced.) Hopefully she makes it to the end. Speaking of the end, how much longer do you think? I say 3-4wks..does that sound about right?
