Finally, pics.

Comments welcomed but please read the beginning of the tread so you are up on the story :)

These were germinated Feb 1. & yes I know, they look like they have had some issues. :)

The cabinet is 4' high so she's about 6' high I think :) I've abused her terribly trying to maintain her height. I would SCROG her next time. I've never done it but I've looked on here & people get great results.

I was going to try that tonight. Sort of. Make some king of netting that I can bend the tops down a bit to keep them under the HPS lights on the side.

One question I have. Does it matter where the light hits the plant as to the growth? If the HPS lights are hitting say 12" down the plant, will the buds above it still use that light energy? Or will the ones above it be getting all their light from the floro tubes above? Kind of like when she gets pollenated. Do you just hit one or 2 buds & the circulatory system of the plant carry it through out the plant or does it just work on the bud sights that get pollen on them?

Anyone? Know if its too late to SCROG her or someone said she may be root bound. Can I transfer her to a larger container or too late for that? i certainly don;t want to slow her down at this point. She seem to have really taken off with the ripening once I put her on 10/14 light schedule.

+rep baby!

Fark me. After all the grief I've had with this plant, my timer self destructed so I have no idea how long the lights were on. Couldn't have been more than say 48 hours. I think it may have been only 1-2 dark cycles it missed though. Not sure. But I know it was working say on Friday & checked again on Sunday & found it screwed up.

What's to do? I know I need to watch for the dreaded bananas, anything else? How will I know if its reverted back to veg?

DAMN IT!

Looking for advice.

Thanks

I lost heart this morning. I looked at her in all her she-hulk (that was the hulks female cousin back in the 80's.. green, but hot :) ) & thought about chopping her down & starting a new. But then I thought damn it, I've spend 5 months at this point. I'll give her a little longer.

She seems to have dropped all her leaves (well, a lot of them anyways) the newer leaves are green, but the older ones are yellow & falling off. Will make trimmer her easier I guess :)

The buds are not dense & hard like my last 3 grows which were Indica dominate for sure. This sativa, man.. I hope she's worth it.

Will post pics in the next day or so.

I've never heard of bushmaster. I will look into it though. I've given her nothing but water the past 5-6 days. Thought maybe the yellowing was over feeding her. I will start with 1/2 strength Floro nova Bloom & some molasses. See how she takes to that. I was told that the shooting powder was only to be given to plants that are in almost perfect health so its not for these ladies :)

Anyway, guess I'll see what happens..

I moved the plant about a foot away from the lights. I cut off a small branch on Thursday & smoked it yesterday. Was pretty good. Def different high than from the indica. Not as mind swimming (if that explains it)
I looked at the trichs under the old 420 scope & I only found a couple amber heads so I figure abuot 3-4 weeks left. I did a bit of a flush to see if that will help with the yellowing of the leaves then I started feeding her again on Saturday.

I'm pretty happy with her I guess. totally different plant that I'm used to growing. The buds are smaller. But longer. Like 12-16" turned into one big bud. NOt sure how I;m going to trim it. Seems like a lot more trimming is required than with the Bubbalicious.

I will be changing the electrical set up after this grow. I bought some power strips with built in timers. :)

I started a HAZE plant from beans I got from Nirvana or actually the Sativa Seeds portion of the company? They said she'd get pretty big & to be careful growing it in a cabinet..

Anyways.. I planted the germinated seed Feb 1st in my cabinet & all hell has broken loose. I've broken tops off, I've LST'd, bent, tied down ect but I just cant control the bitch.

so, now I have this 4' high & probably 4' around plant that's been under 12/12 for 3 month now & no buds. Im just finishing up an idica I planted the same time & will harvest her in the next week so Hazel (as I call her) will have the box all to herself.

I;m going to try to turn the timer to 10/14 see if that ignites her to bud. I thought about transfering her to the outdoors but I dont really hav a place for her & besides, if I put her out May 24th (standard gardening time around here) by October she'll be probably 16' high.

Sigh.. what to do what to do..

Im in no hurry to harvest, got lots of bud ahead of me.. Maybe I should just let her go in the cabinet & see what happens...

These were taken 3 weeks ago I think. Notice the indica & how much mature it is. The Indica I have tucked under the left light as far over as I can & the other is about 3 times as bushy now as it is in the picture. I can't close the damn door without doing the Japan Morning Subway routine.. Shoving in leaves, branches & what ever else is hanging out..

ehhhhh yeahhhh..... haze strains are generally for outdoors.... :|

you won't be able to control her.. good luck trying though. ;)

peace

Oh.. didnt think about that. THe last 2 weeks would be flushing anyways. My bad..

THat's ok. 3 timers in 4 days now. 2 were old ones that just gave up the ghost.. the 3rd was a new electronic type which made me wonder WHY there was a battery on the back of it. Figured it out. ITs incase the power goes out, it saves the program & continues on as normal. I guess i should put a battery into it.

OH, wait.. 2 late! went over 24 hours in the dark.. again..

I swear, if she could she would get out of the cabinet & smack me around. IF she was my wife I'd be up on domestic abuse charges...

Hopefully my old pappi was correct. "Treat her like a whore & she'll love you for it." He was talking about women though..

PLEASE NOTE THIS JOKE WAS IN BAD TASTE.. I am the most hen pecked husband in the world. WHen asked what Im doing this weekend my answer is now & always will be "What ever my wife tells me to do" I am truly run by my wife & I love her for it!
