Ok we are at week 10 from seed... so 70 days now... she is getting HUGE!!! Her trichs are forming nicely, I check them every single morning... they are all still clear with about 10% cloudy... I am flushing this friday... she is definitely taking a little longer than I was informed by the site I got the seeds from... unless they wanted me to harvest with all clear trichs? HELL NO!!! Cant really write them a letter telling them that they are wrong on their site either :(... eh whatever... I can't believe how easy this grow has been... Beginners luck!!!... Now all that you have been waiting for... PICS!!!

You and me both my man!!! I cant believe how basically overnight she got "snowed" on... absolutely lovely lady... I got 5 more seeds coming :P... I am also germinating 15 grab bag Bubbicious/Unknown Photo Periods Unsexed and I am going to do the ULTIMATE PARTY CUP GROW!!! with... I got a new 2x4x4 (small) tent with a hydrofarm 125cfl light and fixture I will have 2 when done... I am also trying to get a 300w LED light for it... I am hoping for 10-12 seeds to germinate and maybe 7-8 females... as soon as they germinate I will veg for about 2/3 weeks (only because I cant afford another timer right now) so 24 hours light for 2/3 weeks will be just fine... but as soon as they germ I will get them into cups and will start a new thread for it... stay tuned for more updates!!!

So this thing is taking FOREVER to her trichs to mature... I am starting to see about 30% milky... I am hoping to harvest in 2 weeks... she does have about 40% red hairs too... Ive been told to not go too much above 80%... anyone ever heard about that? I went a flushed yesterday in hopes she will be ready in 2 weeks... here are some pics sorry about the lower quality this time but I used my phone and not the DSLR :(IMG_1317.jpgIMG_1313.jpgIMG_1314.jpgIMG_1316.jpgIMG_1315.jpg

FIRST OFF, I apologize for not updating in a few weeks... I have been busy with Culinary School and BUYING A HOUSE!!! NO MORE TENTS FOR THIS GUY!!! I am going to have a single 4ftx12ftx8.5 sloped room to start a quazi sea-of-green autoflower grow!!! I sign the final paperwork this Friday!!! So again sorry... I will also be harvesting on Friday... not harvesting early just because of buying the house since I have 2 months to move, just a coincidence... I pulled a tester 2 days ago a obtained 3.5g dry and now it is in cure... was a lower branch and kinda leafier than the main colas... buy what I can figure I may be able to get about 2 oz dry when all said and done!!! I took a few photos for your enjoyment... I have 3 main colas! that are each kinda cool... the tall one has a bleached top (I know it was caused by the light being too close and I was able to correct that, but hey it gives it character and I am most def going to smoke that shit!), with dark purple buds right up top, no clue why this happened and I only just noticed it today with the lights off, I was able to catch the tent about 5 mins before my lights turned back on... the middle cola is a little shorter and it is also my main stalk... it has a white top also with a little purple but mainly green... and the third guy is my smallest and all green no white top or purple... I would say though that the colas with the purple are more dense than the other one with the tallest being the most dense... I am ecstatic to be able to share this all for you... stay tuned for pics from harvesting this friday!!! IMG_1343.jpgIMG_1344.jpgIMG_1345.jpgIMG_1346.jpgIMG_1347.jpgIMG_1348.jpgIMG_1349.jpg

Yes the white from the top was from my light being too close to the colas... the bleaching started to form around week 4-5 of flower and was corrected... the damage already done stayed, but the colas still matured just fine... what happened was that I left for 2 days to go camping and for some reason the two colas decided to jump 4-5 inches in height and I came back to them touching the light...

I decided to go ahead and start my curing process... I checked a few of them and some were a little over dry and the larger ones were just a little under dry... they are quite leafy so I decided to go ahead and try and finish drying evenly while curing... with the 7g's of testers that I have pulled during the last two weeks from the lower branches, I weighed in today at 40grams... after cure in 2-3 days I will give a final weigh in... but currently I am around the 1.5 oz mark... The final smoke report will most likely come in about a week :P

I have had those bleached areas re-color under neath sunlight, or green plants turn purple IMAG0718.jpgIMAG0751.jpgIMAG0780.jpgIMAG0783.jpgIMAG0784.jpg series of photos taken over a 5hr period of a Lavander plant from soma seeds. in the first u can see the undersides are still green on the middle left fan leaf. That was a tight auto grow ran a little long for those particular strains but hell they almost never seem to do what the descriptions say, for instance Quasar. sold as an auto tottaly regular plant and grows loads dank as fuck but they missed that one.
