this is my first attempt to grow medicinal marijuana, i have invested lots of time researching and applying in order for this go as far as it has and its been working well i would say, when i first received them they looked puieny and insignificant as persistence grew so did she.. :)
shes only on day 11 of flour i believe and shes doing great, had a fungus gnat problem occur as well as some ph fluxations, but i feel confident i have succumbed these issues for now.
here she is as a bby clone My first day with her...

i am curious as too see the yields on these babies, and im not sure if these are forum cut, anybody else have experience identifying them as an original cut?

They look great, seems like a high number of plants for one 1000, how much floor space are they in? Your yield should be nice, as long as you don't chop to soon.

I'm not sure as I just made a new room for them and threw them all in, I will check tomorrow evening on there next feed (:
I decided to go big since i have a 1000 watt hps, they seem to be ok, I'd prefer another 600 watt but energy bills are a bitch, luckily Im under the care program with Edison thank you uncle Sam ():

i really hope so I don't know what to expect as this is my first attemp cultivating mmj ever House and garden kicks ass!
Does anyone have a rough estimate on yields per plant with this type of setup?
I have done a good amount of high stress training such as lolly popping, fim, etc... So hopefully yields are decent I'm hoping maybe 2 oz a plant??
There coming at 3 feet now
Thank god my inline 6" inch and carbon filter is set up there starting to smell delicious (:

I ran one 1000watter, on my first grow I yielded right at a lb of top grade bud. With the looks of what you have I think you should too. I vegged mine for 4 weeks also but only had 6 or 7 plants taking up about a 5'x5' room.

if I chop at a farther date than 9 weeks like 11 do you think I could have a better overall bud? I was told there a 8 weaker but if I can get them tricombes huge it'd be worth it

Ok so I measured my grow room, it's 4 1/6 x 5 to be exact lol I could deffinatley use more room but it's not the worst as I prune popcorn sites and trim some fan leaves for better sunlight to lower branches.

yes there is a good chance. In my experience the longer you wait the more quantity you have. You want those pistils to recede and plump those calyxes up. I waited 12 weeks on one of my plants on my first grow and it had thick rock hard bud, if you harvest to early when you dry it it will not amount to shit. I say let some of them go longer and see what your preference is. I like to get the most bud I can though, and waiting is the key. They look great though. You are knocking it out of the park for a first grow!

About the same dimensions as mine, I have a 5x6 but only end up having 5x5 coverage. I consistently get around a lb.

look forward to watching it the rest of the way through, Ive got some that are about 25 days into flower myself. So we should be harvesting around the same time.

Don't have a set number, just go by how the plant looks. The white hairs turn red and recede into the calyxes they grow out of. This is how I, and alot of others determine readiness, Once they are receded back into the bud then I start checking trichs. This could happen a 9,10 or what ever week. Just make sure you let them swell up nicely. This is what I mean by letting them swell, they look like this: fatty.jpg
I will let them go through 12 weeks then as it would be a waste of time patience is key (:

That plant was fimmed once, no super cropping. It just grew short with big fat colas

Looks like it could be a swollen caliyx, but keep an eye on it! Look for browining pistils(sign of pollination). If you start seeing your pistils browning and dieing off this early than you could have a male flower in the rooom somewhere. You have plenty of plants so if you had to remove one to be on the safe side, I don't think it will hurt yield to much.

Ya one plant out of 11 I sent bad but I started seeing more n more of those egg saks I'm not sure if they where nanners or male pollinating sackes I saw them on 8 plants last night as I searched them fore a a hour and some had more than others, I had 3 sensimilla plants and was abt to toss the other 8 last night..... But I decided to keep em... I know I can pull the banners very carefully before they open to prevent pollination but shit I was bummmed, I wonder if stressed them to much or if gsc are easily susceptible to herming.
Thanks brotha for the feedback muchley appreciated.
