Well i figure its about time to show my 1st grow, many bumps along the way but learned alot and my 2nd round is a millions times better than my 1st. I can easilly point out all i did wrong the 1st time, like the obvious nitrogen deficiency. Also this shows what a plant looks like when you have a nitrogen deficiency in flower, more so than you want, or maybe not, what do i know. lol.25.jpg21.jpg22.jpg23.jpg24.jpg They are both bagseed, the yellow one should be from a sour diesel, both were fimmed(i must not have done it right since i still have one main cola right?) I am using the topping method with round 2 and its going much better. I over stressed them both early by fimming and transplanting the same day and overwatering(all mistakes i have learned from). I fed very lightly using GHflora series which i will no longer be using in the future since round 2 is 100% organic. Between week 2 and now in flower i inoculated with a myko tea and followed up with a vermicast tea, top dressed with mushroom compost and later top dressed worm casting which seems to have slowed the N deficiency, really well in the one thats purp! They are both week 6 flower, now under a 400w hps, which i know is a bit of a waste of light for these 2 but i will make full use of it round 2. Buds are def dense though so it seems worth it. The yellow one has about 80% orange hairs(more everyday). The purp has 100% white hairs so i would think it has a good 4 weeks to go and should really bulk up that top. Also you can see i am in pretty small pots for flower, ill be using 7 gal pots for my 2nd round. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. This is major redemption for me, as i have tried growing in my youth and done quite well but never made a harvest because something always happened, mostly parents cuz i was around age 15 at the time. No chances here, nobody knows about this one. what do you think i might get off these for weight? and when should i flush the yellow one, i would guess she should be ready in another 2 weeks since most hairs are orange and i dont have a microscope to look at the trichs yet, but with a magnifying glass they look to be somewhat milky, like maybe 50%, i will be getting a microscope in the next 2 days.
 
Oh and these are exactly 10 weeks from sprout emerging, 4 weeks veg from sprout emerging, some depends how you count flower time. They started under cfls and went to 150hps and cfl, then to a 400w cfl.
 
Its the best I have for camera, let me see if I can get better lighting with this led I got. Hold on.
 
I think you'll be amazed at how smooth they smoke, nice job finishing. I wouldn't think you would need to flush, you have purged the nitrogen well which is the key to good smooth smoke. Enjoy and give us a smoke report after cure!
 
Regarding when to harvest, that is personal matter. If you want a speedier buzz, you could take them now. I personally like to see a high percent cloudy and maybe 10% amber...again, personal matter.

For yield, maybe an ounce to 2 oz. per plant...but sort of hard to see the scale of the plant so just a wild ass guess.
 
I have been amazed at every stage of this. It will be closer to late jan for smoke report. It might be late for christmas but more than half of this is going to a family friend, who survived child leukemia and has some kind of disease which causes bone necrosis and he doesn't take his prescribed opiates because after a short time they don't work. He doesn't work but he volunteers his time at some local charities. He doesn't even know yet, lol. Merry Christmas! He is also undergoing a 2nd knee replacement early next year.
 
My guess was around an O per plant, but they are def dense since they have flowered most of thier life in the prime zone under that 400w.
