not 2 bad what strain are those?
also what nutz did you use?
looks good for a first time grow

You have a very nice grow on the go, I like the use of supplemental lighting by the pots, I recommend adding some reflectors on the pots to give even more light to the lower leaves.

You should be chuffed; you’re going to be smiling for a while.

Thanks a lot , had heat problems at start still a bit to hot but they are looking ok, I don't no the strain but I would love to ....?
I used bio veg and after a week into flower started bio bloom and grow together using a 400w hps , topped them in veg and I've super cropped a couple of the larger steams trying to get a even height

Thanks for the feed back I did read about putting some sort of reflectors on the pots, might just do that have some white plastic sheeting I could use or even tin foil ..?

Be careful using foil, you wouldn't want any bits of it making their way into your light sockets, also what a lot of people don't realize is that mylar is conductive on one side so be careful with that stuff too.

Having said that, mylar can be taped onto card with the conductive side facing toward the card, where as foil does have a tendancy to break off in small pieces and can end up anywhere.

You can buy mylar from a cheap store in the form of emergency blankets in the camping section.

Looking good! I have my first good-looking grow nearing harvest, and it's a great feeling just looking at it.

Will be even better smoking it!

kinetic · Jun 20, 2013

Good job! They look nice and green.
Remember when you trim it to use gloves and when you are done with the gloves stick them in a bowl inside the freezer. The finger hash will peel right off the glove for you. :leaf:

Any pics Kroost of them now, looked at your profile and seen them in veg and looked well healthy really green

New pics posted today!

Just a update of how my two lady's are coming along, don't no but there doesn't seem to
be much growth from 2 weeks ago ...?

And think about still 3 weeks left ...?

seems to be a lot more crystals on the one on the left .....

what do you think guys ...?

blowincherrypie · Jun 26, 2013

Everything looks good player! You still gotta wait for those pistils to change color and recede some though, so once you see that you'll be closer to the 3 week mark. Good luck!

SOMEBEECH · Jun 27, 2013

You may not see the growth but trust me its growing.
Mostly swelling up the buds vertical growth pretty much
slows way down now.

I agree with blow atleast 3-4 more weeks.

Pretty fat buds

Stevieh · Jun 27, 2013

Thanks for the info lads

will update again when I think its time to harvest see if you agree, I am thinking of purchasing a magnifying glass or jewlers fob.....

is It worth doing or just wait till most pistils are brown ..?

First time grower and I am pretty chuffed with how they are looking :)
