FLOWER DAY 24
"ITS GETTIN FROSTY IN HERE"
All looking good on day 24, took few pics just to get an upclose look at her flowers, the zoom i have on my picture program is pretty amazing....this pic here zoomed in looks amazing! You can really start to see the frostyness upclose and i also saw a few pistols starting to change color! Cant wait for my fingers to stick to these things....hopefully. Clones looking AMAZING, they are really taking off now. Transplanted the two healthier clones into milk cartins the root system must of quadroupled since 5 days ago when i tranplanted for first time since taking root. Over all i would say it took just under 3 weeks to fully take root and start to show new growth daily. Im nervous about my electric bill this month, i took a look at my meter today compared to the rest of the aparments and mine was doin laps around others!!!!! Should i be expecting a hefty bill? I heard that cfls are cheapy on electricty? ANYONE KNOW? i have 15 of these things running 23 watts 13 hours a day...any help would be nice to put my mind to eas. Welp im off to blaze and start the weekend right!

Flower Day 28
With week four closing this is how we stand, big moma is looking nice up top anyway. I am having some major issues with yellowing of fan leaves and they are lil crip to the touch. Could this be nute issues? I have been useing the nutes every 6-7 days and am now at 3/4 strenth. I dont know its scaring me cuz i cant afored to loose to many more fan leaves.... Also just one or two spots but some of the little elaves around my buds are curling under them selves and teh tips are curling under itsself aswell, any ideas????? PLEASE HELP!! Next issue is i am starting to find some type flying bugs!!!!!!! Look like nats to me but i dont have clue, only finding maybe one every few days flying around once i shuffle the plant. They scare me....I play exterminateor everytime i see them. Other then that all is just about amazing, the main colas are taking off and the buds are finally starting to look like somthing i can break apart and roll up. Forcast must be snow these days cuz my lil girls starting to show signs of frostyness.....im loving it right now almost every other day you can see major changes. I plan on starting molassos feedings tomorrow. Im thinkin two Tbsp per gallon, anyone have any expiernce with molassos?????? Its goin to be a job but we are transplanting into a 50 gallon tomorrow i believe. I CANT WAIT! Soon as i get these shackles off her and see if she takes off. She is super top heavey right now and lower bud growth isnt stellar but what i do have up top DEF makes up for lower plant. Four weeks in and i think if i havested today that i would have least an O. Who knows though we shall see!!!!! Okay heres some pics of some of the issues....HELP?????

Clones
Alrighty, as i said in my last post the clones HAVE NEVER LOOKED BETTER. They are doing absolutly amazing, The sativa (P1) is cut form the big moma goin now and the lil indica (p3) is from the girly we put to rest....RIP. Both of them starting to show hairs....not sure what is goin to happwn to them since they never had time to veg but well see i guess. Wish i new what specific strain they are. ANYONE know of any ways to tell a strain from the next besides tall means sativa and short stocky means indica.... Might just use them as a learning tool and try anything in the book on them...poss supercrop or somthin. See what ya think!!!!!!!

So you got those damn fungus gnats to eh? I always seem to get them but they usually never bother my plants. But if you start to see alot you should buy something called 'mosquito dunks' from lowes, then dissolve it in water next time you water the plants. But i doubt they will get that bad, how many have you seen? Again I still think you may need a little more nitrogen but yellowing of fan leaves is normal towards the end of flowering. Anyways still looks like you got some nice colas forming, no matter what you got some smoke ahead.

Yeah the gnats are nothing to be worried about anymore i dont think,,,i see one or two everynow and then when i water...buddy of mine who grew befor told em this was a bit normal and not to be to worried. They just like living in my soil!!! I would too so i dont blame the lil guys. Yeah the colas are looking prettier and prettier everyday. Ill have pic sup on monday, i transplanted....well see if she stretchs her legs out!!???

When you transplanted were their any roots that were wrapped around the bottom of the pot? If so their gonna love their new home. Also I was thinking about that N def, but how you say that when you flush they do alot better. Low acidity of soil locks out Nitrogen, and fertilizers are almost always acidic so i was wondering if you have ever checked the ph of the runoff water (the water that drains from the pot). You got them in fresh soil im assuming, so that soil should be just fine. Anyhow your girl should start to explode going into the 6th week so i cant wait to see pics in a week or two.

WOW if anything you say is close to being right i am one happy man, and yes the roots were bound as they get....when we took her out the pot the bottem of her was teh shape of the pot, roughed her roots up lil bit to encourage growth.

If anything i say is close to right? Dude all i told you was that those spots were not mites, and they are not, that was a Mg or Ca Def or some contaminent in the water. Next you DO have a N def go to page 9 and you can clearly see that is not nute burn its either lack of light to lower leaves or lack of N. You have a cfl grow so you should be getting light to all leaves. Your red stems could be genetics i just suggested that you may need more P(cannabis hardly ever takes up excess amounts of P). And guess what causes all that PH being too low. Needing to transplant would act as a catalyst for this enviroment since the soil acted like a buffer for awhile. Dont worry though the new soil you transplanted in should be ph nuetral. So i recommend you get a ph meter (or make one out of red cabbage) and start testing the water and nutes you feed it. Baking soda for ph up and lemon juice for down (unless in hydro). And the 6 week thing just my own opinio, but from looking at your plants they look filled out just not fattened up, and thats the next step to maturity, the floral bracts form a false seed and swell. But i guess i should have said IMO. Anyhow great grow and good luck. Im out.

Flowering Day 35
Oh the sweet rewards that week 6 brings....visibal tricoms, sticky fingers, brown hairs. I have done a few things, first we did transplant...im not sure what gallon but it was huge and make the tree look small.
Yesterday we began a weekly molassos feeding i am using grandmas i read and saw somoen els useing it so i thought it was safe...with the new pot she drank just under a gallon of juice...i am doing just a lil over tbsp per Gal. I fed her yesterday morn and this evening i got my first sticky finger expierence. I almost ate my finger but i dont think it would be good for my golf game. I know i am goin to get some constructive/hurtfull feedback on how light she is down low. I know i need more light down low but at this point im just trying my hardest to force as big yield out of the 6 or 7 main colas i got goin. I counted just under 70 real bud sites and clusters granit these varied prob from like .3 too like 3-4 Gram clusters...this is why i am starting to refer to her as a tree. I would say 85% of my fan leaves are now gone...they turned real yello like i showed and fell off slowly but surly starting at bottem and working way up. ON THE UPSIDE is there isnt one bud site that has yellow leaves in it....hard to explain like the leaves that grow out of the buds are nice and healthy so im thinking maybe its the plant getting rid of the leaves to get mor elight to buds but then i also think the fans are the power house of the plant.....i might be over thinking...Welp Enjoy...
CLONES
............ ...... ... OH sorry sorry i was speachless for a min there. The clones are boomin, and them bein expiements and all im having fun with em. For thoughs who dont know they were put into 12/12 right after they took root from cutting and looked risky for about 21 days...then bam. Now day 35 they are sick. The indica is growing so nice and compact and might even give me a few nice buds if i have enough time. The indicas pistals might be three times teh size and density of the sativas...its cool to compar. Makes me wish i didnt get rid of her mommy
Now for teh sativa from the tree. I think i have passed my LST test with flying colors....i read about it but it like hits you when you see it. I tied her down when she was just about 8 inch high, tied her about 90 degrees or so the next morn her head was bending up and searching for the sun! I have had to tie her twice now....all bud sites are now in light and all closer to the light as well! I only have about 59 days of time left so i dont know how well they will finish...welp enjoy.

Eh bro you can even do your final flush with molasses. Some growers put 3-4 tsp per gallon, i'm not fuckin around. I have used molasses on my 3 last grows and it has worked wonders, but I have never put more than 1 tsp per gallon. High times says 4 tsp per gallon bro, but I think it's kinda over board, but I don't know.
