Morning guys, how's every body doing this fine sunny morning? ;) So today marks 7th week since my plants popped out of the ground, I was looking at the trichomes and D.R has majority of them milky didn't see any clear ones maybe just few of them here and there so I think maybe like two maybe three more weeks and she should be ready for chop chop..and for the NL auto a bit longer somewhere around 3.5-4.5 weeks by looking at the trichomes majority of them are milky but I still can see some clear ones, so she will take a bit longer then a D.R. Here are some pictures that I took just a minute ago, hope you guys like what you see ;) first up is NL automatic IMAG0299.jpgIMAG0300.jpgIMAG0301.jpgIMAG0302.jpgIMAG0303.jpgIMAG0304.jpgIMAG0305.jpgIMAG0306.jpgIMAG0307.jpgIMAG0308.jpgIMAG0309.jpgand here we got the D.R ;) IMAG0310.jpgIMAG0311.jpgIMAG0312.jpgIMAG0313.jpgIMAG0314.jpgIMAG0316.jpgIMAG0317.jpgIMAG0318.jpg

Wow, 7 weeks! Is this 12/12 from seed? Because mine have that much and I'm 7 weeks into flowering after 30 days of veg! (lst too, one time, to the side of the pot)

So forgive if it's already been said in the 35 pages, but a small question, what has been your light cycle, and can I have a refresher on your NPK's throughout and your plans prior to and leading up to, and through on to harvest? A preview of the coming entries, or hopes toward?

Thanks, nice grow, I like it a lot! mine are in 1 gallon pots, maybe this having 3 gal for you made a huge difference too?

Hey Brian, Thank you, and thank you for stopping by. ;) Yeah it's 7 and a half weeks since they popped above the ground. But this are Autos so they grow a lot faster then a regular photoperiod plants, they only veg for about 14 days and then they automaticly switch to flowering stage without changing the light cycle.

As for the light cycle I had them under 18/6 thru out the whole grow since they popped from the ground. I germ them straight in the soil, and for the nutes I didn't use any until they were around 2 and half weeks old, and I started of with 1/4 straenght of what they say on the bottle and I worked my way up, but you will learn to tell when and if your plants need anything. And I only used Fox Farm Big Bloom and FF Tiger Bloom, so that took care of my N-P-K situation. Same goes for the water, in time you will be able to tell by just picking up your pot if your plants need water or not.
And near harvest time like next time around I'll be watering my plants with water only till the harvest + I'll be flushing the plant's at around 14 days before chop chop time.

As for the pot size, like they say the bigger the better ;) mine are in 3 gal so that's def makes a big difference in a plants size, the roots has more space to spread out and grow bigger, bigger roots = bigger plant = bigger yields.

If I missed anything just hit me ;) and for now have a nice and "sunny" day :)

Hey Monster and Thank you very much ;)

Yeah I did, I was feeding both of them every watering but the D.R next and until chop chop time I'll water with water only, bcuz it's near harvest time I keep looking at the trichomes and all the them are already nice and milky with couple of amber ones, but I'm waiting for the trichomes to be areound 3/4 milky and 1/4 amber ;) as for the NL automatic she still gets her nutes, she's not ready yet maybe like two more weeks, but the D.R maybe one more week maybe even less and finally I'll have a chance to try what I've grown ;)

I'll have some pictures tomorrow, I was soo freaking busy for less week and half that I didn't even have time to take a dump lol.
