Good Afternoon ;-)

Recap ...

This one sprouted on 12-10-13. My nutes are this. I have never used it before, but got a really good deal on it @ local hydro. In fact ... I have not used nutes at all before ;-) My medium consists of this and Sta-Green All Purpose Potting Mix with Fertilizer. (All I could get at the time. not that i am disappointed;-)) PH (run-off) has been 6.0. the temps have been 72-80, which tends to dry out the leaves ever so slightly so I foliar feed it a couple, 3 times a day. It seems to love it. And the RH has been 30%-40%. With my current conditions I really have no way of kicking up the RH, but the foliar'n seems to do the trick.
Im using 4 cfl 27w 6500k for veg.

This growing stuff is the bomb. Fun as hell and keeps my anxiety down. lol (not kidding tho)


I gave my 1st nutes 14 days ago. 2 waterings then a 2nd round of nutes. (2 days ago) I used a 1/4 of what the bag says. I also noticed that the 1st one was a bit hot so on the second I used the same amount. All looks good.

I started lst'ing and "super cropping" I think thats what they call what i am doing (pinching and bending) early I guess ... 10 days or a week old. Its working tho. On one of the pix I put a red line to show how the mainline is running. The plan was/is to run it somewhat around the pot while elevating as it grows to keep the new growth the same as the older. Trying to have a even canopy. we will see. Next time I think i will start at the side and go straight across the pot and see where it goes from there.

I have NOT fim or topped at all. I still have no idea on sex so I am not sure if I will grow it out even if male (for experience) or keep dropping beans until i get a fem. At that rate though, I will never get some quality smoke. Thats what i am shooting for btw, quality smoke ;-) duh lol
If it turns out to be fem ... I hope to clone the shit out her. You know ... the whole ceed ordering phobia ! :-(

I plan on just lst'ing and SC'ing this time around. Next time maybe fim/top while lst. I am sold on this lst though. Lay that bugger on its side and I cant stop the "tops" from popping up. They all think the are tops ... rofl

I really didnt plan on the SC'ing, but I had too. Have to move some of the big stuff. And with my current light configuration, I can put one or two lights closer to make those leaves twist how I need them too. YaY Funny how they look when an upside down leave twists toward the light.

I was luck right off to find a nice distance from lights because ya really dont know til ya do it. The nodes are very tight. At least I feel they are.
Hope I didnt forget anything ...

:leaf:On with the pix :leaf:

I am very happy so far. Hell , I never grew anything before. But plan on much more !

Ok ... Should I count on this to almost triple in size when I flip to 12/12 ? (or close too) Height and girth or ?

Thanks Chief for the hijack ... lol
Thanks for the catch Art

I usually take a clear drinking glass & turn it upside down over the little guys to maintain humidity.
Just remember to take it off a couple times a day.

She looks good. Did you do any type of LST, or training :??: Sorry if I missed that ..
I should have not made it so long winded ... Hell, I get sidetracked if i read something long. rofl

Yes Sir ... LST since 10 or 14 days old. And what I think they call Super Crop ? Anyhow .. I had no choice on the "SC'ing", All the huge leaves had to be moved for the smaller ones to get some love too. NO, top or fim tho. Maybe next time, to see the difference. I am happy so far ... but have much to learn. What I did with the LST is lay the stem horizontal ... one of the pix shows (kinda) what the plan is/was.

I keep looking at all your luscious looking ladies and wish I could walk or drive to get me some good strains. lol

I have a Krush on that Purple Voodoo bro ... Have dreams about that one. Ha

I wish I knew for sure what leaves I "could" remove if needed. To let some more love on the smaller. ;-) Bueller ?
Also ... am I looking at about twice/three time the hieght when I flip to 12/12 or not that much ? Or more ? I dont want to get caught with no room.

I don't see anything there in need of being removed.
Until the leafs are totally brown/ dead, they are still helping a little.
Just leave them until they can easily be knocked off, or fall off.;-)

Well ive had tobs of leaves go yellow on me more underneath the plant. Thats the obes i took off. Also with how i got my LSTing right now alot of growth in the middle was getting no light so i cut those leaves off so the light hits the middle pretty good and already new growth from the branches is coming in very well :)

At that size she (your big girl) shouldn't be losing any leaves.
HMHO, something might be up causing that, and the different color in the new growth is troublesome. Newly emerging growth should be light green, I've not seen any different in happy plants.
Just a few thoughts, not criticism. ;-)

Not being critical at all my friend - just trying to help.
Back to the sugar leaves are we? lol
I think they call them that because they're the tiny leaves in the bud that are covered with "sugar".

IIRC this WW started life under the weather ? And has done a few weird things ... (to me). A great turn around :-P Who knows, she may have some more surprises up her sleeve. You know ... to test you ;-)

ROFL ... ya know, let me ask a question. Is it true that the "sugar leaves" only come out at night. NO, j/k ... only show up in flower (12/12) ?

OK ... that should do it for a min ;-)
