fdd2blk: Thanks!
I've been following your guide for a few months now, growing out 1 male, 1 female to make a nice stash o seeds. You covered just about everything, but as the grow is getting close to ending, I'm curious if you've noticed seed producing females slow way down at the end?
This has been sort of a bonsai grow, the plant was put into 12/12 24 days after germinate, and is in a 1.5 gal pot to keep the overall size down - but the lady hasn't grown an inch upward in more than a week. Only about 3' tall, and this strain will go 6' under HPS in 3 gal pot. Budding continues and seed pods are going nuts, but it's much slower flowering and growth than I've experienced with this strain when non-pollinated. Today is 68 days since germ, and there never was a stretch period.
Also - this grow was done entirely with CFL's. Daylight 26W/1600k's for veg, warm 43W/2700k's for flower. I'm very pleased with the cool lamp temps and low power consumption, but the buds are not as dense as HPS provides. Good compromise anyway.
I'm guessing the girl is putting all her energy into building the seeds, and that's why all other growth has pretty much stopped? That sound about right?
Great great great tutorial. Thanks again.
