Hi Blue,

She is a Northern Lights. Indica. Supposed to be a short plant. Very tight inter-nodal spacing so far. I understand that she is supposed to stretch when I put her in 12/12.
Nice! I guess I didn't ever know that. Here's one of my Northern lights Blue. This on is the tallest one:

Well, since everyone else is posting pictures of their ladies... Here's my G13 Lab's Pineapple Express. Week 2 of veg. :)

Pictures are as of last night after I topped her using Uncle Ben's Topping Method (https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/151706-uncle-bens-topping-technique-get.html). 4 cola's here we come. :D
SCROG screen will get you 20+ colas, my SD grow I had 21 colas I believe. total of 45 tops.

Yo tmac, I used this same topping method with my Jack herrer. Vegged her for 30 days, she just went into flowering two days ago. Yours looks beautiful. She looks like she's going to be a bush. My Jack is very stretched and has been growing at an alarming rate for 4 days now. Check her out in my avatar Jack herrer scrog.

I've been checking out Scottyballs, kriz, yours, and a few other scrog grows recently. I like it. I might do it later. I just like the topping method. :P Plus, I've never topped it that low before so I'm excited to the results I get.

That's what im hoping for. B) I love me some bushes! lol Your Jack is looking great and I'm sure it will wonderful in flowering! Good luck with the 12/12 stretch man. I hear Jack's are notorious for stretching badddd. I think your col scrog will definitely help out with that. Great idea, btw. I might borrow it if that's okay. :D

Also, I wonder if you could get a pretty low height growth with really stretchy strains (Tangerine Dream, Amnesia Haze, ect.) with that type of scrog. I imagine you could train them up the sides and checker board the top of it. Then train the rest of the plant over the top?

Hey Tmac, if you are interested in bushy bushes without any work to get them that way, I recommend Red Cherry Berry (Barney's Farm). I am growing one out right now. I have not topped it or anything and she is wider than she is tall, and so bushy, she can't even get out of her own way. I swear, this is the most fun plant I've ever dealt with.

This is her at day 35 - 1 week into flowering (no buds yet)


And this is a peek at her underdrawers...

Oh man! You're not kidding. That is a very bushy plant. I will have to add that strain to my to-grow list. :) How tall do you think the 12/12 stretch will be?

Can't say for sure, but she has been in 12/12 for one week today and she has only gotten about 1" taller so far...but 3" wider! I really think this plant is going to stay very short and bushy. That top pic was just before lights out and she is always a little droopy at the end of the day. I think she gets tired trying to hold all them leaves up!!! LOL

I've got a perkier pic somewhere because when she is fully alert, she is simply amazing.

Her longest leaf is over 7" long!

That leaf is longer than my PE is tall. :P Awesome plant though, Blue. Can't wait to see her in flower!

Let me give you one opinion for your interest in bushy plants. Only bush a plant out if you have strong lighting. I use LEDs and if I had as bushy of a plant that bluejeans has, half of my harvest would be popcorn nug. I haven't read too much about the stretch period of Jack herrers, but just incase she does stretch, I topped all of the main colas. This way, I will have many little colas. Stay tuned it's only day 2 of flowering lol.

I might mention too, that the arrangement of my CFL's also provides this gal with lots of side lighting as well as on top. I'm sure that has a lot to do with her overall bushiness. Because she is the tallest plant in my grow room (only because she is sitting in DWC instead of a soil pot on the floor, the lights that are rigged for the lower plants actually hang beside her, lower than her top lights. That gives the lower plants the light they need, with the added bonus of giving the taller plant extra light on the sides.

However, the write-up at the 'tude where I bought the seed indicated that she would be short and bushy. The side-lighting is just a contributory factor.

"Indica domination contributes to Red Cherry Berry growing and compact bud formation, mature plants get an indica height and a sweet fruity indica smell. They have a typical x-mas shape, rich branching is supported by robust stems. The maximum high is 120-150 cm. Short internode gaps explode into dense, rounded bud-clusters which merge into compact, heavy colas by harvest time with a sweet fruity aroma and taste with a stunning combination of stone and high!"

Hey Blue! She really is a bushy beauty! Kind of looks like my NL. How old was she when you turned down the light? RCB is supposed to be a medium height indica strain. 70 day flower period. THC sounds the same effect as NL too, cerebral and some body.

She was 33 days from seed when I flipped the lights. The write up on the 'tude says 120-150cm (4 to 5 feet). I just don't see my girl getting that tall since she is SO wide, but if she does, OMG! She 1.5x wider than tall... imagine if she were to maintain those proportions!!!! She'd be 5 feet tall and 7 feet wide! LOL...that would be amazing! I'd cut everything else early to give her room if she wanted to roll that way.

I do have 6 NLB (Northern Lights x Blueberry) in the room too, but they are looking more sativa-ish...tall and stately. These are supposed to lean to the BB genes rather than the NL so maybe that's the difference.

Yeah, I do find the growing part to be fascinating! Like you said, "growing it is addictive". My NL is at 34 days, still in veg. I FIM's a couple of shoots the other night. She too is wider than tall. Great to have a growing buddies with children the same age!

high everyone. your girls looks so healthy an beautiful. i cant wait to see them grow hundreds of colas with big huge frosty buds on them.im wishing the best for everyone!good luck.
:peace:
I am finally seeing some nice new greeen growth on my girls.
I got my Phat filter up.
I switched my light from 400 to 600 watts
I changed out my rez.
My out readings were... 210 ppm, 6.5 ph OUT
i added some flora nova grow and flora nova micro.
My in readings were 420 ppm, 5.1 ph.. IN
Im keeping my ph in low because when it goes through the hydroton pebbles it bumps up quite a bit.


How often should i change my rez? i have heard quite a variation .. some daily, some once a week. Should this be based on water leaving the system of just that the plant is eating the food and it should be changed out reguardless...?????
???




aint she cute?
