Hi Cherry! I think I've got 2 of what the one fella was saying was a "flat top" cola. They look so different from the other 3, which makes sense cuz they were the 2 dwarf ones that were later to pop from the peat pellets, and the ones that needed a helping hand getting their shell loose. The other sativa like ones are starting to stretch so good and I'm so proud of their node spacing. I think when the lights come on today I'm gonna bend the colas on the 2 short indica so all that middle growth can shoot up. I think about a 40degree angle should work. Any advice on this from anyone? I just have soooo much growth in the middles of them I'd hate to see it all go to waste with tennie tiny bubblebuds...lol!
I LOVED watching my Shorty when she started changing colors....especially when I gave her the ol' ice flush and 5 days of dark! I miss her :(
I bet your babies are gonna love their fresh water.....sllllacker...lol ;)
I plan on flowering until ripe......however long that takes,lol, which from what I'm hearing from the more experienced growers, is 8 weeks average. But as usual, I'm sure the sativa dom ones are going to take longer.
I like thinking of it like this.....when they are ripe and the pistils recede into the ladybud they are done! I leave my window at 8-12 weeks...helps me have more patience.



HAHA!! I was tryin to wait till Friday so you can really see some difference. They sure are getting taller and the pistils are pooping out everyday.
I'll take a few pics for ya tonight when lights go on K ;) still debating tying the bushy ones back a wee bit???

**ROFL....I said pistils pooping....that is too funny to edit!!**


It was me regarding the "flat-top" cola's- they resemble the parentage of the blueberry. As I previously stated, there's a ton of variety within the plants. And you'll need a lot more than 8 weeks- I went over 9 and most of them needed another week or so. I would plan on 10 weeks for sure but the smoke isn't bad at 9 weeks. From your pic's, I'd also consider some cal/mag if your not already using it. If so, bump it up a watering or two and it will help you "crinkle" on the sun leaves.

Can you say PENETRATION again??? It kinda turned me on!! ROFL!!! "MADAFAKA" dat iz sum fun knee sheet rite der!!!! HAHAHAHA ;)
Nice to see you here zo0t!

Great looking plants, Catt.
Have been busy with 1 of my 4 dogs...had to take an eye out on Monday and send it to pathology..hoping for the best. If I threw a treat at her she was an automatic...even in the a.m., but later that afternoon I threw one and it hit her in the head. i threw another one and the same result. I said she's not seeing out of the right eye. We treated it as a possible scratched cornea for a week and then the vet told us to take her to a specialist. I now have a one-eyed flatcoat (Google flatcoated retriever).

I'm reconsidering my grow and trying to relocate to another friend's hose. This is harder than I expected LOL
Oh man Brother....your poor baby :( Give her/him a big hug for me, that really does suck to have to go through :( I hope your doggies other eye is OK. Must be costing ya an arm and a leg.....does she/her wear a patch or something? I can't even imagine how you would keep that on?

looking very nice! thats a lot of cfl!
As many as I can get my hands on ;) and why thank you very much!

See!! I told you 90 degrees was the way to go! They look AWESOME btw!!
Now I have to fight the urge to BEND them ALL!!! Muahhh hahaha!!! lol!
Debating now on weather to scrog or lst my next batch :) I have a feeling I could make a killer giant bush with 100 heads :o

Plants are lookin super sexxxy (yes with three x's) over there catt
I see they are loving that fish & seeweed.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get that special pink pheno :)
Thanks Kush....super seXXXy is where it's at in my closet ;) They are flattered!

Definately going to have to try that sometime soon. Those ladies look awsome, and the bending sure will help the yeild. Guess alittle string or wire goes a long way...lol. :weed:
Sure does my man!!! I couldn't believe how quick they turned back up....like within 12 hrs. And the stems where they bent are so much fatter!

nice plants and setup. thankyou for sharing your info
Hey Tribalbandit, thanks for stopping by......you jumped in right at the exciting part ;) for me anyways....I love watching them form ladybuds.

Hey...there you are :) I knew it was you that said it...I just wanted you to chime in again cuz I knew ya had something for me, glad your keeping yourself updated...I am a rookie and need all the honest help I can get.
I do have some cal/mag and I will start feeding them some with their next watering...thanks for reminding me :) I was kinda just gonna wait to see if they needed it, but why wait till you get a def. to treat it? Makes sense :) It's funny you say that about the watering too, because I did notice that after a day or so some of that plants seem to be dryer than others. So I will start watering a little more and see if that crinkle goes away, I was still kinda scared of watering too much cuz of fungus gnats and stuff, but I'll take it easy.
Can you tell yet what I've got based on my pics? Any guesses?
My max patience on waiting to harvest is 12 weeks, but I'll let them go until they are ripe. After 12 weeks, I'll start picking and sampling....lol!

Hi Catt, just stopped by to check on things, and as always, your girls look amazing! can hardly wait for your harvest results, gonna be impressive I'm sure.
I sure have a good feeling about this :) I've never smoked Bubblelicious before so I'm super excited :)

Cali the plant's are looking really good I think we will be harvesting around the same time..
Thanks Soursmokey, I'm on my way to check in on your girls right after this. I'm sure they are doing just as good as mine ;)


'yo cfl are "two" small' lmao
GeeGoze.....I buy the biggest ones I can find and here I am....getting chit from a veteran here.
Really though.....it was funny as hell to see him on my thread, I see him stirring up Grammar Nazis all the time here on RIU.....LMFAO!!!

Lmfao^^^^^^^ I'm embarrassed for him....
LOL Downinit ;) Don't be....he knows what he's doing and he does it very well! At least you can understand him....most can't...HAHA!

Scrogging looks real easy, and with your hps.....you'll do wonders :)

Scroging is awsome CC. I did it first time on this grow and it is how I will be growing from now on. Especaily using t5's helps spread your light more evenly. Like this...




Snooch to the Nooch!

Looks so pretty :) Sooo many flowers...and you don't really have to adjust the lights as much, it's so even. What do you do if some tops start stretching out on ya?

You try to control that durring the first two weeks of stretch. This crop stretched a bit longer then I expected and my screen was allready full so its not as even as I would like but I am not getting any penetration issues really. I will know more in a few weeks though how bad its affecting me. Even so all the cannopy is within 3 inches of each other so it should end up better then if I had not scroged. And the ammount of flowers I am seeing I am loving.

Snooch

ed: Oh and I havent had to raise my lights in over 2 weeks at this point so it does really help with confining them into smaller spaces.

Gypsy and a trophy.jpg

Catt, here's my girl feeling a bit better and taking her 1st trophy with one eye. She'll retrieve anything...I have a series of pix of her retrieving a buoy on a long chain from the Gulf of Mexico LOL. Yeah, she could use a pirate hat and a patch :) Hoping the pathology report comes back negative.....
May your buds be dense, your resin sticky, and your penetration ample :)
