Heres an update on my 1st ever grow that I posted last month. This was planted in the 1st week in april and has been feed weekly w/ 10-10-10 and superthrieve. Theres a few close ups using a 15x jewlers loop as well!

Im more then happy to see tons of glistening trichs and the red hairs are making me think this is better then your average bag seed swag:weed:., but im saddened by the 1/4" sized buds.

Im confused though on the budding, im still in a 14 hour light cycle here and this things flowering like crazy. How close would you estimate I am to harvest?

but anyways what do you all think?:leaf::clap:

Oh you got a while yet my friend. Im pretty sure that the 10-10-10 fertilizer all of its life is'nt all that healthy, nor will it lead you to being able to grow this plant to its full genetic potential. Lastly, remember that its the very last few weeks of a plants life that it will grow the most as far as budz go, and you've got a ways yet......so patients....and study up, read some things about Marijuana Cultivation...and proper fertilization of a plant. Good Luck

IMO no way two weeks you will be cutting your yeild by a factor, relax and let nature do her thang.

I would say they look good to start for your first grow. I would change the nutrients that your feeding it. I'm not sure what walmart carries as far as plant food, seeming how I shop for my ladies at the hydro store. lol. I would also say that you have at least a month b4 harvest. Your probably pretty accurate on your last week of september guesstimation. I would recommend a plant food that is something higher on the K and lower on the N. the three numbers that you see 10-10-10 refers to the NPK, nitrogen. phosphorus, and potassium. During flower you want a plant food with more potassium and less nitrogen. Hope this helps, and you can never read enough, so keep up on your reading, you can pick up a lot of good tips, and techniques with reading alone. Anyhow, good luck and happy growing.

I'd expect her to finish mid to early October. Looks about 2-3 weeks into flowering.

Walmart sells the Miracle Grow brand.

At least 5-6 weeks until they are done. As far as finding ferts... use the internet. I always see people on here saying they can't find any ferts locally. Check out Blue Mountain Organics, they only sell off eBay but they are the bomb. All organic if that is the way you want to go. Otherwise try and get some FF Tiger Bloom. And def. feed them some molasses... Good luck dude.

Thanks, like I said Ive used a cap full of superthrive per 2 gal of water since day 1 along w/ the 10 10 10. I just got back from Kmart, I found some 0-30-15 that ill feed to her on friday. I read that the recommended dose of molasses is 3 tbl spoon per 2 gallons. So as of tomarow ill mix the molasses into the 2 gallons of water + cap full of superthrive I feed weekly. The last 2 weeks b4 harvest Ill feed only molasses and water. Sound about right?

Also Im gearing up for my 1st bubble grow, I bought the Fox Farms starter set off of ebay for the upcoming grow.

Like I said this was a 1st ever, Im used to growing tomatos and peppers lol:clap:

Sounds like you gettin the hang of things real quick. Just keep doin what your doin and you should have some nice flavorful smoke in no time. A small piece of advice, don't over do it, just give it what it needs and don't buy into the hype and propaganda and go overboard. All the advice that's in this thread is all you should really need to be honest. So, keep it growin my friend.

I'm already into some 40° nights. Don't worry about it until you hear frost warnings.
