really...? how "big"?

I've heard of this..people using a straw and a 2liter or something of that effect.

Explain please

big enough that you will notice.. ive only seen a co2 tank used but i know theres other ways google it.

I've noticed the buds really starting to swell up the past few days.

She's also starting to lose most of her fan leaves...started at bottom and the yellowing is working its way up.

Next week will be the mark of one month under the lights. (I think she was showing preflowers for one week before then, so five weeks)

I killed a shiton of gnats today that love the top of the soil. they don't seem to be bothering the plant though so I'm not too anal about em.

pics!




and how much longer? i was thinking two maybe three weeks.

beautiful.. i would say your guess is right on how much longer.

thanks for the comments florida.

These gnats are relentless though. Next time around I won't be using the manure. Just going to stick with the Pro Mix BX and FF Fertilizers.

She's yellowing pretty fast now...the lower leaves at least, and most of the major fan leaves are gone now.

i think theres some yellow sticky traps for gnats or somethin like that.. one time i used manure i burned the fuk out of my plants, be careful with that stuff.

post new pics of the yellowing, maybe i can help u out. probly needs a little nitrogen.

hehe na bud, I think it's just the life cycle of the plant...she doesn't need the fan leaves anymore because she's getting all her light and putting all of her energy to the buds now.

I used this manure last year, it's composted not fresh, so there is no risk of burning. As far as the gnat traps...i would rather not even spend the money..they don't seem to be bothering anyone.

the more leaves = more surface area for light to hit = more plant growth = bigger buds. the fans should yellow around the last 2 maybe 3 weeks, when you flush.

yea fuck those gnats.

Plant looks awesome man, Thats just a 200 watt cfl in there? Im thinking about ordering a 250 watt cfl and was wondering how u like it. Looks like its getting those buds nice n fat

yessir, i complimented it with 2 42w 2700k bulbs so I could have some more of the red spectrum to stimulate her buds.

So really 284w total of CFL.

YOU finally changed the spectrum after being told many times you should get some 2700's in there .take a look back at the first few pages of this thread and give some rep to those people,without them you would have been smokin leaves cuz those buds would be pure leaf.plant looks good but you aint the only one that grew it know what i mean.

sorry but thats not totally true. the more red spectrum is better but come on dude your plant is not gonna be pure leaf if you use more blue cfl. its just not gonna be as good but it will still produce fire nug.
