no mollasses mate, just CYCO, and nothin but Cyco

Ok! YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!! FLOWAMASTA'S GROW NO.3 HARVEST WEIGH IN!!!


ok to get things ready, i got my new clean Jars, they are 3 litre jars each, should of grabbed more, ooh well! the 3 litre jars weigh in at around 1270 grams clean, to give you an idea, how big they are the 2 different Jars contain my 'Gold' all my resinous tips of colas go in that Jar (Night time smoke) the little Jar containg my test nugs for UVB potency ....who knows they will be smoked after a nice 1 month cure for the ultimate test
Ok the numbers! the numbers! you wanted to see as much as i did! and i was sweating hardcore filling these jars!!

548 grams total ( 1 Plant ) 19.5 ounces dry..

not including the small amount of sample buds i took a while back
so the numbers show it is in between my first and my second grow in yield, i did get more colas this time, so more golden smoke
very happy man, please enjoy my pics, and please be open minded, yes this is alot of bud for 1 plant. But i have seen plenty more before!

i peeled a nug open, to give you a nice look inside

Thanks FlowaMasta! I have some white pumice gravel that I use in my garden to help air up the clay. I also have a few bags of Dr. Earth organic soil and some organic compost. I can't wait to see her go full throttle out in the sun!
Cheers,
Mo

sounds great Mo! dont' you wish the rockwool was clear and you could see the roots start off!? keep us informed! she will go great outside i'm sure!

Props! Massive harvest of some very nice looking bud. I'm starting to think I just might need to import some banned ferts from Australia

congrats man wow 19 ounces give or take thats quite the haul man great work! i hope to get close to that and i got six plants going lol you lucky buger only havin to deal with one .... next round im scroggin for sure all thanks to you flowa you the fuckin man

Hey FlowaMasta - when and where do you FIM? I will take a pic of my girl and label it so you can tell me where.
Thanks,
Mo

OK FM - Here is my question:

Where do I FIM:



And when do I FIM?

Cheers,
Mo

Thanx Gas! maybe just give CYCO a run i'm getting amazing results outside using a simple $3 NPK granule mix from the supermarket, which i'm using on 2 out of the 5 small plants, absolutely amazing results for simple nutes! actually it's blowing me away the results i'm getting, i'll post some pics soon , these outdoor girls are frosting up something ridiculous! the 3 that are getting the natural organic mix, are going much slower, less frosty and no where near as stinky glad i chose to trial them.....

lol! thanx man! 1 is still a bugger to look after really, cause if i had to move the full size plant, it's nearly impossible, so i take huuuuuuge risk, but it's all part of the fun, and luck of the game

WWHHOAH!!? u thinking of fimming your girl already! man u work in fast forward! or you just getting keen! I fim where i think a branch needs to stop growing just where it is, 1 week before flowering ( my second topping stage...) fiming usually requires just a simple cut through the growing tip, an un-neat, damaging cut, the idea is that where you cut, the small growing shoots that were once stemcells, now become growing tips, and multiply, stopping any further vertical growth, it's easy to fim too much, and lose alot of yield, the trick is to fim key branches, (medium fatness) branches ones that don't need to grow any higher, and you want multiple small colas, instead of 1 spindly stretchy cola. I really only Fim about 4 branches, usually the 4 outer corners of the tent, so i can fill the corners better. the rest of my tips, are either topped or cloned

Fimming is a more gentle way of topping, but not a guaranteed way of more yield, just a way of more control, topping is for yield purposes, the idea, is to have more than 1 cola gathering the lamps energy. 1 will soak up less light, the more tops you have, the more light coverage you will have...

let your plant go atleast 1 more week before you fim or top Mo' looking at your cute sativa, my thoughts ould be to do a small topping on each of the 4 mains, but wait till they grow a few more nodes, the centre mass will catch up in nooo time at all!! u wait and see! glad to hear Mo' keep it up

wanted to see some pics of my hydro setup



here you can see the outlet coming from my pump, (the smaller hose) the larger is the return coming from the bottom pot

like this Mo! just through the tip !!! Just! u want to stop the centre node from growing up, tine little snip, right through, even if it looks messy, it will be fine

Thanks flow, that answered most of the questions I had. I appreciate it. Just currious, why perlite instead of hydroton? +1 rep as soon as I can hit you again.

Thanks FM,
So line number 2 is the right place for FIM (later).
I see what you are using - it is 2 beer cooler tubs. Nice! What kind of valves are you using? How do you keep them from leaking?

I decided to LST the plant a little and get some more side branches to fill in. Will FIMing make the side stuff grow faster while the top recovers?

Here is a pic:



I put the clone outside today again and she loved it. I dug some of the Hydroton away from the rockwool but I did not see any roots. It is only day six though.

Cheers,
Mo

not sure what you mean by beer cooler tubs ? the res is from bunnings, i drilled the holes, no valves, just grommets and stems, then i slide the hose over, as long as it's long enough to take enough of the hose, it won't leak, the holes are drilled smaller than needed for a tight fit, i replace hoses, air stone, feedring and air hose, and will only use the pump for 3 grows, i will be getting a new one shortly, i like new and clean, fresh and tight. hehe

i wouldn't worry soo much on Lst'ing, as the tops you want as close to the light as possible for optimal node spacing i would take them away for now, let her get as much light as possible to the growing tips, you want the the new growth down low to stretch up past the outer section, keep everything below the screen and you will be fine ....

sweet as Mo

You will notice now Mo with my plant, i want her to stretch as fast as she can, after tomorrow, i will raise my light even further, to get her to do a big stretch, because i have already topped early, my node spacing will already be optimal, and vertical growth will match node spacing to a degree, i won't need to touch my plant at all for the next 3-4 weeks, i want her to grow fast and stretch to my desired first net height. I already have my Branches ready to sprout and start flourishing, and instead of my plant trying to grow up so much, it is already starting to bush out, exactly what you're doing. if you have your intended bush....just keep her growing fast that's my advice for now

very clean solution there .

Thanks FM,

We use those tubs here in the U.S. when we have a party. We fill them with ice and beer bottles and soda cans.

I will go untie her now and go back to the screen. Should I raise the lights too?

The tiny clone I fried in the sun is doing better now that I put it on the magic window sill. ^^

Cheers,
Mo

just grow A+B and a bit of B1 Boost, i always keep it clean, if its getting murky, i know to flush...perlite is soo easy to work with

no worries Mo' i think the lights are at a nice level, did you up the base food at all?

Hi FM,

The ppm is 840 last time I checked. She is bushing out nicely. I saw a couple of gold tips. Here are some pics without the LED and CFLs:

Below the screen:



How does it look?

she looks beautiful for sure! i think Jin would have a better idea on the nutes idea, she looks lush and dark green, both great signs, maybe she's just resting.....i wouldn't worry about the gold tips Mo' the overall plant health is fantastic. To see what the nutes are doing most recently, you want to look at the new growth, not the large leaves, the large leaves will show deficiencies, the new growth will show upcoming signs. If the new growth is bright green, you could bump food up, in my opinion, atleast slightly, to see a difference. It's harder to tell the overall health of a plant based on the large leaves, as they are looking after themselves, and have their own storage of sugars, the new growth is what your plant is uptaking, take close note on colour changes, and whether the leaves are pointing straight up, or laying flat, find that balance, that's what i try to do, if the leaves are pointing up, the plant is growing at peak speed, it try to back it off from that point.
saying this Mo' my plant which is only 5-6 days old, cant remember, is nearly on full strength nutes now

hey flow, congrats on that harvest man, that bud looks frosty as hell. Getting over a LB on one plant man indoors is really something.
