maaaan in would definitely start thinking about flowering ;) such a robust thick bush! wow i gotta say, she must have some tough ass branches no?
Impressive to say the least. LED is showing to be a real producer here! i can't wait to see Flowering with this girl :) difficult to train at this stage i imagine, if you want to wait another 10 days or so, i don't know why you couldn't. You could experiment if you like with a branch here and there by topping a node off here and there around the tallest sections, this could help the side growth come up a little, Bit of trial and error, all is a learning game but most plants do the same thing but they all have there bending limits though. If you haven't done it before it could help you a little to see how the plant can grow, i still play here and there looking at the nodes, so if i snip this node this next one below will be the larger more dominant and so forth. 10 days is alot of time, and you may not need that many, entirely up to you :)

Looking sweet as! thanx for the LED info back there, glad to know you've done your research ;) impressive results can't argue with that at all

Damn curly she filled out fast. Ya might want to hit the switch sooner than you think.
It looks like she may push you vertical in flower...

PS.... Any news on your shrooms? Have anything going on?

will she totally stop growing out right when I flip her or will it take a week or two for everything to shoot up?


Hey curly, looking good mate. Everything will continue to grow for a couple of weeks after you change to 12/12. If you dont mind the ladies finishing height you can fill the whole screen before flipping the lights, it doesn't matter, but he main stems will continue to grow faster and longer than the others, so if you want an even canopy and want to control the finishing height, flip the lights when the screen is 80% full or less, this will allow you to keep pulling the stems under for the first week or so until the canopy stays even, then at that point let it all grow up together for the next week. Wait until the plant has finished its stretching phase before doing the final major trim of the plant (I have stunted a lady lolly popping during the stretch) , then be merciless and remove all branches that dont make it through to the top of the canopy or are receiving very good light. I trimmed mine on the principle of letting everything that made it through the screen live, this was a mistake that is definitely going to effect yield.

Sup CUrly looking good! Is she in her flowering container? You might consider pruning her up and dropping the screen for the last bit of veg to get your tips a head start in maturing and getting ready for flower. Something to think about, good luck with the new light, I hope it works great for you.

thanks for the kind words there flowa! ..... gotta say a big thanks to you again for hooking me up with this style of growing man seriously dont thin ive seen growth this fast before .... ever! as far as topping .... im scared haha, the tallest of the growth is just soooo beautiful and is going to turn into some big nugs .... although you said topping even this late in the game will most likey produce more yield right? also you said you have done some FIMing here and there ...did it have the same effects? cheers flowa you tha man :D just gonna head over and see how your girl is doing!

like i say man i dont think ive ever seen growth this fast in any of my previous methods ..... its absolutely astounding :D im thining the same now hearing from all you guys here .... i might go ahead and flip her sooner than later and just see what happens |:). shrooms are doing good man i thought for sure the cakes were done flushing but sure enough i kept watering and a few more pin heads keep showing up here and there ..... actually you just reminded me to take a look at the spawn bag i inoculated a couple weeks back ill report back soon!

thanks so much for the info man i think this is more or less what i will be doing once she flips .... her top colas are gonna shoot up like crazy still deciding on whether im gonna top anymore .....ughhh!!!! haha hrd to make decisions on stuff im just learning perhaps topping and getting a more even canopy will work out better for me.

Not a worry man :) Glad i can help out!! Yes you could top here and there if you like, if you haven't done it before, just try 1..? snip it so it will leave 2 good strong nodes below so they can grow into 2, you might find yourself having 2 big buds on that 1 branch instead of 1 :) trust me it won't shrink them or make them tiny!! as long as you give 3-4 days catch up after the snip so the nodes can have a couple of inches growing to regain their strength. You don't HAVE to wait a few days but best to let the plant flower under no stress to give her the fastest transition.
I cut/fimmed/topped EVERY tip on my plant this grow apart from 1 cola at the front in the middle, just to show people that the cola will still be a similar to size to the rest. It will come up a little higher perhaps and produce a larger 'crown' of colas around the main, but topping produces a more evenly spread and more balanced canopy.... each cola gets an even amount of light and energy. I just wanted 1 nice crowny to hang as a masterpiece.... you know me hehe see if i can get a couple of ounces on 1 crown.

Fimming will have a similar effect but will stunt more in my opinion and produce an uneven amount of tips.... good for areas that look like they may go sky high when you hit the flower switch. I find fimming is ideal for the corner sections once they have reached canopy height, this allows them to get a catch up a little later on than the rest and helps them come up a little higher due to their longer recovery. The further away from the light the less penetration, so i try to have my canopy slightly cradled... concaved in the middle where my light is most extreme, and further up higher and surrounding the shade for the side branching, so they still get a good amount of penetration. This grow came up really nice and even.... getting better with practice ;)

sup shwag! she is in her flowering container and man o man i am in some deep thoughts about whether to prune or top more or to just leave her and see how it goes ...... tough decision seeing as it could affect my yields quite a bit ..... think im gonna go hit my vaporizer and make some decisions one im in the right state of mind :D

What's up everyone sorry for the delay on updates but I've been. A busy man after all we only get about 3 months of nice weather per year were i reside so I like to take advantage of it :D anyway all is well in my jungle tent my giant lady has become even more busty so I went ahead and did a final pruning today along with a nice spray of serenade and bug be gone just for preventative measures. I figure I will let her recover for about 3 days and then it's go time! So I fed her a bit today and when she drinks through that I will be switching to flower nutes. I have a feeling this is going to be a good show so hold on to your seats and enjoy the ride!

.......ah ya forgot I threw in a few shots of some mushies I just harvested as well as some early wonder skunk seeds I took off to sample from one of my seeding plants most are good but some are still a little premature so I waited to take down the rest of the plants. Cheers all stay lifted and happy growing!IMG-20120829-00287.jpgIMG-20120829-00286.jpgIMG-20120829-00285.jpgIMG-20120829-00283.jpgIMG-20120829-00282.jpg

not a worry there flowa ya ive heard a few ways of people extracting mushrooms so to speak ... first off if you have never tried making tea with them that is one of my favorites .... throw some fruits and stuff in the mix and it actually kinda tastes nice. besides that i have heard of people making them into chocolates by just grinding them up and melting it into chocolate always tastes good like that :D you can even go as far as to extract the alkiloid crystals from the fungi themselves .... this is a bit different though as its most commonly smoked or vaporized and comes on very fast like DMT heres a link for such a procedure http://deoxy.org/wiki/Mushrooms/Alkaloid_Extraction. besides that i usually just throw em in a bun with some peanut butter .... yum yum :D
