I was going start throwing down some "likes" for the picture shots but since the pics was spread out among a few posts, I never throw down the "likes" or I'd start looking like a "like" whore in this thread, lol. but I'll just hit you up with a few bars of rep instead:bigjoint:...... nice grow man. your plants look happy.

808, they are looking great....nice and thick....to answer your question, I went natural (no LST) and I got 2.25oz from the one plant.

I think that only applies to natural hermieing, such as when the plant is is flower and it develops nanners near the end. If it herms due to stress that's something entirely different.

Well i thought i had the natural hermieing because i was already late in my flower but one user on a different site told me those parts were natural. If you would like to see there are pics in my thread on my sig.

Sup guys... Day 25. This week will be my transition week. Later this week i will be adding bloom nutes with grow nutes to my feedings. So my schedule will now be feeding#1 (grow+bloom+liquid karma) feeding#2 (grow+bloom+liquid karma) feeding#3 will just be pH'd water. Then the following week will be feeding#1 ( bloom+liquid karma+sweets berry) feeding#2 (same) feeding#3 (water) and so on... gonna hold the nutes at 1/4 stength.

Girls look amazing today...

808, since this is your first time doing auto's I want to make you aware that there is a some controversy out there about topping and super-cropping auto's. Some think that because their lives are on a distinct timeline (instead of photo-driven), you never really regain the positive effects of it and actually loose yield. Do a search "topping auto's" here in Rollitup or even Google. However I think you are fine, LaDiva is a different auto in some respects. My LA Diva bushed out like crazy without any topping whatsoever, I think I had 7 finishing cola's as a matter of fact instead of one main one you see on most autos. The longer 70 day seed to finish is a plus in your case....here is a pic of mine when it was at the ~4-5 week range....you literally can't see through it...it was so thick I wondered how the light got to the inner leaves...they stayed green through the entire grow...

Jela, I think this post is spot on. I think it may be the breeder. My La Musa grow is going much differently than I expected from an auto. I see about a 7-8 sites that will be colas instead of one main one and my girl is starting resemble yours (in later pics you posted) with the main cola stretching higher than the others. I had thought about topping her, but did exactly what you suggested doing both google and RIU searches and was convinced to either LST or let it be....I opted for the latter.

808, your grow is looking great man! Nuff respect!

Hey 808, First off congrats on your first auto grow and everything is looking good including your "topped" one. The only question i have is your dating from when they sprouted out of soil or when you transplanted after tap roots.

i wish i saw your thread alot earlier. Im doing a la diva grow myself and im about 20 days ahead of you although i have now germinated 2 more seeds so i have one about 45 days one about 35 and two that are like 4 days old. Look at my sig it has my thread u can take a look. The one thing that really blows is how much bigger everyone's La Diva's are. my first and oldest is such a shrimp was only like 6 inchs tall. started out CFL and turned outdoor for flowering. Dont mean to hijack your thread but you might see something intresting in my thread. Im also thinking of taking the oldest out in a week. This morning to top it all off i may have found balls on my ladies or it might not be since ive seen some red hairs coming out a couple of them.

Lavode, I just checked out your link as well so I won't chime in to confirm what others have already said.

I am going to speculate that your Divas are small due to the lighting. I am by no means an expert, but I have always been given to understand that with CFLs you want at least 100 watts per plant. I simply haven't been doing this long enough to offer any definite reasons for the plant being small.

Edit - BTW, is the handle Lavode in homage to a certain fantasy author having the last name of Brust? Just wondering, because if so, I too am a big fan...

Wtf....so i get home from work and check the girls. All seemed to be fine until i checked on the plant that i considered to be the best one. I first noticed some little holes on a couple leaves. Nothing serious. But i figure i would jus look around for some bugs. While looking around i find some freaken sacs. Wtf... first thought was its hermie however only three branches seem to havem. And to make it more confusing i find white hairs coming from one and what looks like hairs about to come out from another. Kinda bumbed now but lemme know what u all think.

One on the left clearly looks hermie. Pic on the right looks like a sac but hairs are starting to peek out. On the other side of this branch hairs are completely out of the sac...

Im pretty sure this one turned on me considering its the only plant that has them. But since its only a few branches i might just pluck them...
