    My second windowsill grow. Hoping to learn from the mistakes of my first one...

    I think the plan will be to start the seedling on one side of the pot, off-centre, and train it in a circle.

    My second windowsill grow. Hoping to learn from the mistakes of my first one...

    Mainly because its something I've never tried before, and it looks easier to get an even spread with the early layout of the plants branches. I've been reading a lot on the benefits of topping but there's very little out there on the diifferences between lamp/tent grows & windowsill grows. I...

    My second windowsill grow. Hoping to learn from the mistakes of my first one...

    Yeah, I've a feeling the middle plant will yield the most. For my next grow I'll focus on 2 plants & use LST on both. One topped & one untopped. I really didn't do it properly this time around but will nail it next time.

    DAY 85... Technically, just past harvest time for the Northern Dragon Fuel and much further past for the Glueberry OG. Still, plenty of signs of growth in the buds & the trichomes are still sparkling & clear. Many of the large, upper leaves are yellowing & beginning to droop but I'm not gonna...

    Competition time!!! Not really, I'm just bored, waiting for these babies to reach their peak. So, based on these pics taken yesterday... a) Which plant do you think will yield the most? b) What do you think the final dry weight will be?

    OK, good to know. It's really just the one plant that I'm getting twitchy about. Impatience is kicking in a bit but I'm good. These buds are already fatter than I'd expected. It'll be amazing if they swell up more!!

    The light is much brighter today so a couple more pics... Isn't it better to harvest when around 70% of the pistils have turned amber?

    Hey folks! If any of you have time I'd appreciate your opinion on whether or not it's time to harvest one of my plants. It's the Glueberry OG freebie, now showing all the signs of maturing so pulling the trigger is probably imminent. It's just past 11 weeks now &, under normal grow lamp...

    How much longer do you think I should wait before harvest time?...

    Oh, to give you an idea of scale, the tallest plants are 75cm high... That top cluster of buds on the lefthand plant is 6cm wide :)

    How much longer do you think I should wait before harvest time?...

    So, a couple more weeks down the line & here we are. The large pilot leaves on all of them are starting to die, many of the other smaller leaves are curling downwards a little. Energy is definitely being directed away from the leaves & into the buds. Plant 1 (Janis - the baby plant grown in a...

    DAY 72... it's been a while. After asking a whole bunch of stuff in another thread, this thread has become more of a diary, showing the general growth of the plants. They're all fine but we'll start with the smallest... All the fan leaves fell off well over a week ago & even smaller leaves...

    How much longer do you think I should wait before harvest time?...

    So, I also have this little lady... I started my autos in test pots (I discovered shortly after that I should've planted them straight into their final large pots). As a test I kept one growing in the tiny pot, transplanting the other 3 to 11 litre ones. She's at the stage where all her large...

    How much longer do you think I should wait before harvest time?...

    I’m probably giving them 3ml per litre, so not quite the full dosage. I don’t see any signs of nute burn but we’ll see how they are after a week of bio-bloom + molasses. I’ve reduced the amount of bio-bloom slightly, just incase it’s a bit OTT.

    How much longer do you think I should wait before harvest time?...

    BUMP...with a revised question... So, I'm guessing from advice here & the supposed life cycle of my plants, that I'm 2-3 weeks away from harvesting. I've been using 100% organic nutrients & am wondering if I should start flushing the plants now & stop giving them nutrients. I also bought some...

    How much longer do you think I should wait before harvest time?...

    Thanks! Weird. My previous posts are disappearing. I asked a perfectly good question about molasses & now it's gone. I'll try again... If I was to use molasses in the plant's water can I simply add it in conjunction with the Bio-Bloom organic nutrients I'm feeding them?

    How much longer do you think I should wait before harvest time?...

    ...and one more thing... At this stage do you think it's worth slowly clipping all the very low, under-developed leaves? They're generally hidden by large leaves & it might help to divert the plants energy into bud growth. Also, there are several leaves that have started to wilt & slowly die...

    How much longer do you think I should wait before harvest time?...

    As a side note, it's amazing what a difference this premium soil has made. My first grow was done with simple, garden centre soil used for growing flowers & herbs. I had aphids, white fly & scales to contend with within a couple of weeks of the vegetative stage (and the scales went unnoticed...

    How much longer do you think I should wait before harvest time?...

    Thanks for the tip. It's the first time I've heard about this. I did some reading (just on this forum) and there's plenty of "discussion" to wade through, much of which is peppered with the same snide conjecture I'm hoping to avoid *insert eye-rolling emoji* The conclusion seems to be...
