A little over 4 weeks in and getting sexy

Meet Anabelle, my swiss bliss 4 1/2 weeks into flower. She's about 3 feet tall and i've been doing a ghetto style lst by bending the main stem around and moving some branches to allow the most light penetration from my 150w HPS. I also have 7 CFL's and a 70w HPS to provide some side lighting. I'm using generic nutes (~0-10-10). The pH is stable right around 5.7.

What do you guys think? She still has at least another 5 weeks to go so i'm hoping the buds will fatten up nicely by then. this is only my 3rd grow (only 2 were successful) so any info, ideas, comments, or suggestions would be fan-friggin-tastic!

looks good is swiss bliss a satvia??

I think they look good enough for a +Rep.

Keep doing what your doing

looken real sexy

meangreen - yeah its a wonderful little sativa. i gotta get a scope, but i'm thinking 9 weeks should be enough.

downonwax and sly - thanks alot. i was growing in an aerogarden before this, which wasn't bad, but the boom i got with 5 extra gallons of h2o and the output of a 150w is just incredible.

thanks for the kind words all!

very nice ANODYNE +REP

thanks desy! i'm definitely still looking for advice. the bottom thrid of the plant isn't getting enough light becuase of the density of branches and leaves. should i trim or just let it go?

Anyone see anything they'd want to change? Come on folks I need help I'm still technically a noob

nothing from anyone? criticism at this point would be appreciated too ha

trim the buds on the bottom third. Leave the fan leaves until they decide to come off themselves,.. give em a tug once and a while if they look weak.

Or if you don't mind more small buds versus fewer larger buds, (same yield).. let it go

Don't sativas take alot longer than 9 weeks? And what kind of nutes for your plant? I use age old organics and the bloom is 5-10-5 and the grow is 12-6-6. The only reason I say this is because even in flowering I think your plant needs some nitrogen. Anyways just a thought.

thanks siddhartha i wasn't sure if trimming about halfway thru flower was a good idea or not

nickbbad, my boy grows swiss and he said 9-10 weeks is all it takes. i'll be checking the trichs in about 3 weeks and the whole way thru til finished so i'm 100% sure its ready


the nutes are called microbloom or something like that they came with my hydro setup and are a 3 part system. I give them a few shots of part a (6-0-0) if and when they need it, which is only once every two or so weeks. so far i haven't had any nitrogen deficiencies or anything like that. thanks for the info though i'll add a bit more to keep up the moral so to speak
