Here's some pics, finally!

Hey there everyone out there in never-never land. . . I have been waiting to get these pics on here for a while. Hopefully I will have some more later this week, seeing how she is even more beautiful now than ever. Today, 10/28, my girl is on day 38 of flowering. The pics are from day 29.
To be honest, I am incredibly surprized at how well she is doing. I am expecting a nice amount of weight (from what an experienced friend told me), hopefully upwards of about a 1/2 lb (don't know the conversion to metric, sorry).
She is a PK that I started flowering using Schultz 10-15-10 mixed at the recommended ratio with Alhambra bottled water. I started out giving her about 2/3 a gal a day. I know that a lot of people think that is too much water, but her temp stayed between 73-78, and she was just DAMN THIRSTY when I brought her home.
I am unaware of what the medium is, as she was a mother that I had bought from a local nursery. To my best reckoning she was about an 80 old clone, well taken care of and grown to be a mother clone, until I began flowering her.
She has been under 12/12 of 400W equiv from CFL's (It's actually a 480W equiv). I have her in the end of my closet, a full length mirror on one side of her, and the walls are painted white and foil lined.
Since about day 20 I started using a home made Co2 mix from yeast, water, and sugar. I took a well-reputed recipe, then after about 10 days, I upped the mixture and I swear to God that she took off almost over night (and she wasn't doing bad to begin with!)
On day 25 of flowering I stopped watering her ever day and also changed my fertilizer. I started watering her every 2-4 days, depending on how thirsty she is and started giving her the reccomended amount per gal of "Grow More"s Premium Orchid Food with a mixture of 30-10-10, along with 1 table spoon per gal of brown sugar.
She absolutely LOVES the sugar along with the added Nitrogen that is vital during her flowering.
I have to thank EVERYONE on this site. By gowing through old thread and such, by asking questions and looking at pics, I think that I am over 1/2 of the way through an INCREDIBLE grow! And that fact that it's my first is even more thrilling!

good to hear someone else is using the same nutes as me. are you using as directed or did you change the dosage for you plants. and 8 ounces seems a little much for one plant, ive seen upwards of 3 oz on here but not as much as 8 from one unless you let it get huge.

I disolve 1 tsp of the orchid food per gal of water. It's what it reccomemds on the container. Do you have another sugg for that one? If so, love to hear!

forget half a pound m8 !! 1 - 2 ounce dry if ya lucky, keep up the good work !

Ok, "mate", let's hope she's a lot more than that! I wouldn't be disappointed, don't get me wrong, but did you see the size of her?!? She has over 12 cola's! I do intend on keeping up the good work, but would consider myself far from lucky if she only produces 1-2 ozs dry.

Assume less, gain more.

if u look at the plant u see big once u chop up u will find very little bud
the cannaboids /crystals/look good very shiny no doubt u will be happy with the smoke of it as long as u prepare for a low quantity
remember quality counts more than quantity

hey there fella,there is no way that will give you 8 oz,sorry to be the bearer of bad news m8 just being realistic.if i can give you one bit of advice it would be get rid of your mirror they are not good at reflecting light also get rid of the foil as well not good either and can cause hot spots just paint it flat white or get mylar or panda film

i say 1.5 ounces tops....

yea no way 8 ounces

Ok, most likely won't be so much, but thanks for the like two of you that gave me some usable feedback. Really do appreciate it.

dont be a dick. we all gave you useful info. without us, your little heart would have been crushed 10 times over when you harvested your little ounce, thinking your going to get 8...you should be thanking us, instead of being an asshole.

oh i didnt kno your using the solid feed, im using the liquid feed which has the same ratios as that and says to drop 7 drops per quart so i stick with like 3-5 drops per quart. i use the feed every other feeding and it seems to be doing my plants well. ill see once i start flowering.

and not to be rude or anything but we are all just trying to help you to understand that from one plant youll only get about 2 oz if you do a good job. like i said. ive seen plants that yeild more than that but there really large and the main cola is usually really huge. with all the lateral growth on your plant youll prolly get one good cola and quite a bit of popcorn buds. giving you a good once plus.
if you want huge yeilds like that from one plant you should look into scrog. ppl seem to get really high yeilds from that. also youll need to get your growing tech down to a T.

Okay. I wasn't trying to be a dick, first off. Thank you to EVERYONE who gave me feedback, whether I like it or not. I would like some clarification, if you wouldn't mind. The reason I said such a high yield (I meant to say wet weight, by the way), is because she IS a big plant, just short. When I said that she has over a dozen cola's, I'm talking BIG. The only popcorn buds are on the lower laterals. Does that make a difference as far as you all know? My buddy (who has been doing this for a long time, and actually suggested this site 'cause it's so hard for him to get here), told me that based on looking at the VERY limited space already on the stems, and the density of the buds on ALL of those cola's, he believes she is going to be a high yield.
Now, with that in mind, I thank ALL of you and please let me know if I'm starting to be a dick again

8 ounces wet is an entirely different story, and very plausible! just keep in mind, mary looses 75% of her wet weight by the time she is fully dried.

yeah if you take your wet weight divide it by 4 and that should give you your dried weight round about.check out my grow now they are what i call big plants.
