Thanks, assassinofyouth420 and Chief Puff Puff! Appreciate it! I am so impressed with this plant, it's not even funny. Not with my skills but just on how it grows and the coloring and the smell and the shape of the leaves. It's just an awesome plant. I had a pretty decent time with the LST last night, was fun to redo it and make it better. I can't wait till the lights come on tonight, so I can take a look at her! I hope to see some more white hair growth, and hope to take some better pics of it! Hopefully. I'm still sick, so my hands might still be a bit shaky. It's been a week now, and I am tired of feeling like crap. Thats for sure. Not to mention the heartburn and gastro pain of getting into some gluten recently, I am intolerant to it, and it really takes me for a ride when I get into some.

Hello! I have some better pics today, Day 12. I could not get any to show hairs, but I like the pics i took, they show some good stuff I think. I hope everyone is doing well. I wish well on all my RIU folks. I took some pics today when the lights came on. I hope these are some decent pics.

Is it just me or does it look like there is a nute problem?? maybe Zinc deficiency?? I think your PH is too high. Have you checked it lately?? Might need to foliar feed.Hello!

Impressive little bush, what cfm is that fan? and how many cubic feet is your growbox? what minimum cfm ratio is keeping your plants comfortable for the space with that light setup?

I was going to ask the same question about the nutes. Have you used any nutes on your girl yet? The Ph for soil is between 6.5-7.

Good Morning all. As far as nutes, I do use nutes. I am using FF Big Bloom. I use it every other watering, that's what the directions say anyways. I use about 2 or 3 TBL for about 1/2 gallon water. I water the plant until the water is running out the bottom, then I drain off the excess water, so the roots don't get root rot. As far as the CFM of the fan, I don't know, it is a 120mm computer fan. I want to get a 4" Vortex fan with carbon filter, but can't afford it yet. The one exhaust fan seems to get the job done pretty well. I have no intake fan, it's passive, just a 4" hole opposite the fan, and towards the bottom of the box. The exhaust is at the top of the box, on the opposite side of intake hole. I do have a PH tester kit but I have to find it. I have no idea where it's at lol. But I will try to find it and use it, see what the ph is.

Ok, I found out what foliar feeding is. Direct to the leaves. I read a post that says to stop doing that 2 wks into flowering, and I am awful close to the 2 wk mark. I really dont' like the idea of putting anything on my bud sites, thats for sure. No sprays or nothing, if I can help it.

Get a PH tester!! Go to your local garden store and pick up a Soil PH & Moisture tester. Mine has prongs you stick in the soil and gives you a reading on the PH and how moist your soil it. Its cheap and it will definitely help your grow.
If you do a foliar feed with nutes, then you can follow up with a couple water only foliar feeds to make sure any nute residue is absorbed.

foliar feeding no wonder some of the leaves seem far more healthier and lush... foliar feed IMOP (this is just my opinion and personal experience) works well if a clone is taking too long to develop a strong root structure a small amount of supplemental foliar feeding is great but in my experience it's difficult to keep it balanced with a decent size plant, (or in your case a friggin' bush!) and when foliar feeding the roots don't seem to explode in quite the same manner, I am no master grow but I believe if the roots don't have to search for nutrient they don't develop AS quickly (anyone have some proof to my theory perhaps?) of course that may well have worked to your advantage so far as you've already lst'ed her and put her into flower therefore a pot change due to root restrictions would be less than desirable.

I think my container is pretty decent size, it's a 10 or 12 inch pot. I can't grow my plant any bigger, although I kinda want to, just to see what happens lol. That will be next grow. I have to get a bigger cabinet if I am going to grow again, which I am as long as I am a FREE MAN! Fuck these dumb ass law they have, cannibis and hemp should NEVER had been made illegal, or criminalized, or prohibited or anything. It's a pile of crap.
Anyways, I am going to look for my ph tester tonight, and if I find it, I will test the soil. And the water I use. Today is a watering day. I need to go check the plants now actually, because the lights will have just come on a few mins ago, I have to check and make sure she didn't grow into the light during dark time. Be back after a bit!

Hello all. Sad to say, Prop 19 did not pass. Neither did MMJ in 3 other states. That sucks. How long are we going to have to endure this persecution for a plant? This is really starting to piss me off. Did you know that San Fransisco has now effectively banned Happy Meals? We are turning into a socialist/communist country overnight, folks. Now the cities can actually tell you what you can and can't eat. I don't get it. How can this happen in the land of the free? Alcohol is legal, tobacco is legal, yet cannibus and hemp are illegal. This makes no sense. I guess I just have to live in fear of jail the rest of my life. Kinda hard to enjoy a good smoke when I am fearful of the gestapo busting down my door. Cause then I would have to kill them. And that would suck. I refuse to go to jail for a fucking plant. I refuse to give up my rights as a human being.
So, it's been a few days since I posted! Been kinda sick and just not motivated recently. I have pics today though! I actually took them last night lol. She is starting to bud, slowly. Tell me what you all think.

Hi everyone! How are you all today? Happy? Sad? Depressed? Anxiety ridden? Pissed off? Well, I think I am all of those, all rolled into one. I am pissed that prop 19 didn't pass. I am mad that cannabus and hemp are illegal. I think I would like to be a hemp farmer. Maybe.
Anyway, today is like, Day 28 of flowering. i flipped the lights Oct. 6. So however many days that is. Almost a month. And I am beginning to see buds! There is a pic I am going to post, not sure which one, but you can clearly see a bud forming, at least I think so! I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THIS STAGE!! IT'S FUCKING TRIPPING ME OUT! And yep, I am BAKED OFF MY ASS TONIGHT!. Some sour diesel. It's the last of it. Dammit. I have no connection where I live, so I will be waiting for Estella to grow up and be ripe. That's her name now. I named her a few mins ago. She came from a bag of mexican slag, so ought to have a mexican name. I ain't giving no more money to them cartels though. They can kiss my white hairy ass. It's a nice ass too. But I tell ya, them murderous bastards can rot in hell for all I care. Well, that's a bit harsh, but damn. They are killing everybody! Kids, adults, at car washes, parties, rehab, etc. Here is what we do. legalize ALL drugs. Every damn one of them. It will cut them off, because it will take away their entire line of product, minus the prostitution, and human trafficing that they do. Anyway, setup clinics for the junkies, rehab for the addictions, and let it rip. It would save so much money on court, jail, etc. It would allow a 19 yr old to not have to go thru life a convicted druggie, if he smokes a joint. That is also part of the cost. This is a social issue, not a criminal one. It's such a shame. I'm tired of living in this country. Did you know that today, San Fransisco effectively banned the Happy Meal? It's just not good food, they say. It's too bad for you. WTF??? WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!????????? DO I STILL LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE???? OR DID I JUST MOVE TO RUSSIA???? Since when does anyone get to decide what the fuck I want to eat, or in this case, let my kids eat????? HAS THIS COUNTRY LOST IT'S DAMN MIND!!!!!! They have no right to tell restaurants what food to serve!! But they just FUCKING DID IT!!! Look it up, its true. What is next? I have to go to the gym 5 days a wk? Have to? Or else get a ticket? Or go to jail? Or fat camp? Wtf!!!
Well, with all that shit going down, it's hard to concentrate on Estella lol. Here are todays pics.

MoNkO, I have to say, I love the Calvin avatar! Hehe. Love Calvin and Hobbes. Some of the best cartoons ever, by Bill Watterson. Great stuff! Bloom Country was really good too! Thanks for the liking of Estella. I live also in the Midwest area, and it's crazy. I hate it here. Can't wait to get back to the West Coast. I am from WA. state, up in the mountains, doesn't hardly ever rain, just mountains and forests and lakes and a huge ass Columbia River right through the middle of town, no joke. It's awesome. You can ski, snowboard, fish, hunt, water ski, jetski, farmer's market's, Seattle is just about 2 hrs away. Spokane a bit further, 2 1/2 maybe. Great place to live. I miss it so damn much. Back there I would be legal too. I have tons of health issues, real ones, and I use cannibus for medicine, as well as for recreation. Alcohol can't do both, it's for recreation only. Not so with cannibus. The hand cramps I get are much easier to deal with, the anxiety issues go away, if I get the right smoke. Sour Diesel has been doing a good job. That's really what I want at this stage in my life, is medical pot, with recreational side effects. That really sums it up. So, rather than give the cartels money, I am growing my own. I need a bit better setup, for sure, but I am giving it my best with what I got. But my goal is to get back out West. I came to the MIdwest for a job, and I got it, and have been here for about 2 yrs now, and I hate it. Knew I would, I have lived here 2 times before, in different places, growing up. But the jobs were here. So I moved. now in this recession, I am stuck. And it sucks big chunks of cheese whiz out my ass. It's really THAT BAD.
Anyway, thanks for the compliment on Estella. I'm trying my best to grow her right, and give her what she needs. I count at least 13 bud sites, I expect at least 1 or more ounces. If I get 2 OZ, I will be THE MAN. No doubt bout that. lol.

Update time. How is everyone? I hope well. I'm really sick again. Need me some smoke. Don't have no smoke.
Estella is doing good, I think, and hope. She is putting on the bud sites, for sure. They are everywhere. I am going to add a few more 2700K 26W lights this weekend, try to speed up the process a bit with the extra light, or at least make the plant produce better buds or whatnot. Here is today's pics. I would chat more, but just not feeling very good right now.
