Day 44 of Flowering - 138w CFL

[feliks420]

How do my plants stack up? This is my first real grow...where I've actually cared a little about the outcome more than just giving them water. I believe I stretched the plants a little too much during the veg state but after I topped them, the other stems flowered like crazy...it was awesome! The smell is fantastic too....patience is hard when something smells so beautiful. Would love to hear some comments/criticism/compliments!

They look like crap. You should send them to me
Seriously they look very good. More light during flower using CFL never hurts. Topping is just the beginning. There are other methods of training you might want to read up on...LST is easy. There are others, but I'm retired and find them to be too much like work LOL.
Good luck and have fun!

they look great man, the only critique i have is you dont have nough light so your yeild will not be as good as it could potentially be.

if you plan on growing again look into a small 150w HPS they are pretty cheap and will give you like double the light for about the same amount of electricity.

when you harvest that plant you should reveg it, chop everything off of it except a few small branches on the bottom and flip the lights back to 18/6. you will have to repot it and trim down some of the roots but it will give you a nice bushy plant with lots and lots of tops.

here is a link to Revegging if your interested. the time is alot faster for next harvest than starting from seed if you complare plant size.

Thanks guys! I wouldn't mind getting a better light setup. I never thought they would get this awesome or be this easy to grow. I picked out some seeds from various gathered ones....I know there were some Sour Diesel and Kush in there somewhere, not sure what I picked out though. I grabbed only dark seeds, as I heard they were more likely to be female. I just vegged them in sunlight by my front window for the first month or two of their lives, then when they just wouldn't stop growing and were too big for the living room, I threw together this setup. I plan on building a stealth grow box for the next go-around. Thanks for the link to the re-vegging, I didn't even know that was possible. Will definitely be giving that a shot.

This place is just awesome, so many questions have been answered before I even got the chance to ask! I've learned stuff I didn't even know I wanted to learn!

So my buds aren't really getting any bigger in the last 4 days...just more filled out and a little bit more dense. I'm thinking it's probably lack of phosphorus, from my research, would you guys agree with that?

 

[Warriorbuds]

Dont touch em!! Lol

 

[feliks420]

Haha I'm not! Just constantly watching.... They're filling out nicely and getting lots of trichomes though!

 

[trunks87]

Dude, that was cool. I like your zoom effect.

 

[Martybutch]

There some beautiful buds! Keep it up man What nutes you using for those girls?

Thanks man!

There some beautiful buds! Keep it up man What nutes you using for those girls?

Thanks bud! I used Miraclegro all purpose plant food for the veg (24-8-16) and then I think CIL rose fertilizer (6-12-6) for the flower. I bought stuff you have to mix into the soil....by accident....so I just used it anyway. The instructions stated to mix it in the top 2 inches of already established rose bushes, so that's what I did for these. Been watering about once a week, waiting until the soil dries out completely, then giving them a nice drink of good ol tap water. I've got 2 of these "big" plants, and 2 smaller ones, all of them have their own unique smell and are all different strains, so it will be a nice mix when done!

 

[Martybutch]

Ah thats sweet man!! Im currently using MG all purpose soil with OldTimer nutes... So many people hate MG but i have to say... i love it.. My plants growth rate was amazing to see ha.

Keep it up man god damn i hope mine turn out like that

 

[Warriorbuds]

They look great bro!! Keep up the great work! You will be smoking bud, soon enough!
Cheers!

 

[feliks420]

Thanks guys! I know the buds will be bigger on my next go-around, I've learned a lot this time...and I'm glad to say I'll have something to show for it in the end too! For a little while...anyway.

Day 51. Starting to see the trichomes turn nice and cloudy now...no amber as of yet that I can see, so it's not ready to harvest, but I'm guessing another 2 weeks or so and they'll be ready!

 

[Warriorbuds]

All I can do, is hope my green little girl turns out as well as yours! Now you have some info,experience that you can pass on to newbies! Plants look great!

 

[feliks420]

Thanks man, and you know it!

 

[feliks420]

At day 50 now, lots of cloudy and what looks like a couple amber trichomes starting to show. I snipped a couple buds off and they're drying on my cable box right now, I'm impatient.
