First Grow coming to an end

tagonia · Mar 26, 2012

This is my first female plant...I am going to be posting her updates until chop.
Right now she is under a pretty steady 12/12(no timer) I have been using the same lights
from veg through flowering. I think around half of the cfls are in the red and the other half
in the blue spectrum. I grew her in a huge square pot with a nice natrual soil. Anyway here
is a picture of her lower branches I hope you like! bongsmilie

a timer might be the best thing you could buy.
Dont screw up your light sched, hermie your girl
GET SOFT WHITE, 2700k Cfls Needed for flowering.. Do some reading in these threads.

By the looks of those branches, it appears you may have done a little super cropping.....now let's see the top of the plant.

I have been pretty good about the 12/12, at most I would over sleep an hour or so. I tried several things out with this plant, I used LST and it was topped twice. One of the main colas at the canopy did break during some intense fiber pinching and LST( I will post later as it has a very unique shape to it now), also I took off a few of the weaker branches.

agreed with lilrich 2700ks needed. but if your like me and used a mix for veg maybe just add a lil more 2700k [because you are trying to imitate fall sun] which has a higher amount of 2700k than summer sun

Yeah I have pretty much half the lights for veg and half for flowering. I also rotate the pot so that the exposure to the bulbs is even.

Here is a pic of around the height I keep the bulbs.

Woah, looks delicious!

You did some really good training with that plant to get such an awesome canopy. When do you plan on harvesting?

Guys the mixed light is fine...

I agree with the timer. $10 makes life a lot easier. I hated rushing home to turn on/off my lights.

How many watts do you have? I hope my plants look that nice.

I have a little magnifier and the trichs look milky with only a few amber. Also she keeps spitting out white hairs so I'm not sure when she will be ready, but the fan leaves are dropping fast so it shouldn't be too long I'd guess.
