4 weeks into flowering update [pics]

[tuffluck]

I have confirmed that all three of my plants are now female. They are 4 weeks into flowering and are heavily flowering. There are way more buds on each plant than I can count on my fingers and toes

Anyway heres an update, comments and suggestions are appreciated.

they are under a 250hps and 3 150w spiral flouros on 12/12 cycle.

I am using a bloom burst walmart brand fertilizer that is 10-52-10 once every two weeks so theres about 2 more fertilizer sessions left I assume? since flowering takes about 8 weeks correct?

The buds are fairly small but really started to grow now.

How longer do you all think i have left? Can anyone id the weed type? Sativa?

Thanks for all your help!

You should of been able to tell that it was female a long time ago. Your buds should also be a little bit more along there way if it is 4 weeks in, but still, they look very healthy none the less. You can expect a nice harvest in about another month in a half. Good luck man. I would estimate your yield just for the fun of it, but I need a pic of the whole plant. Good luck, and good growing.

dude your plant will take longer to flower and will get alot bigger its a sativa looks like mostly and they take 4 extra weeks to flower iirc :P

[tuffluck]

so 8 weeks total? or are you saying an extra 4 weeks on top of the 8 (12 total)?

they are pretty small right now. and in actuality they may be more closer to 3 weeks of flowering.

thanks for all the help.

I was gonna say they're a little on the limp side... with those leaves curled down&stuff...

but anyways, those are definitely mostly Sativa, they look just like my Jack Herer babies... including the down-curling leaves around the buds...

Hey Tuffluck, them are some nice plants your waiting on. I think patients is the hardest part of growing. Those Sativa's test the hell outa that. They start really looking wonderful towards the end. Smell beautiful. gm714

i would have a much greater harvest if i did not own a microwave.

I sneak samples...when I need to BUT instead of microwave...

Try setting your oven to bake 325 degrees...all your doing is preheating the oven.

When it hits temp you shut it "off" and place...samples in oven ware GLASS flatware or pyrex...

Wait about 20 minutes and you will be ready...usally it gets dry unevenly so take what you need and then place the rest in a glass storage container.
Sometimes the whole thing drys out evenly...apply to wound as required..grin

I read this and had to chuckle a little. Take the mans microwave away..lol. I dont think so Doc.. I use mine on a regular basis as well. Samples are just a part of life...lmao. I do it. You do it. We all do it cause thats what we grow for. I never hesitate a moment to cut me a bud. If I know she's close and will get me high. Clip.....! Specially if I have nothing to smoke around the house. Normally I do but my last construction project took to long and I ran out. Ive had alot of butter and trim/leaf smoke but I cant wait to get that good ol bud again. I dry mine in the microwave using a 9 second rule that appears to work well.

1 cut up the bud w/ scissors into small pieces.
2 place them on one side of a folded paper towel and cover with the other half.
3 put this in the micro for 9 seconds on high
4 remove and place the cool side down on the counter, let cool, turn over, open up and gently blow to cool more.
5 repeat step 4. On the third try open paper towel and stir the contents. Alow them to cool completely.

Sometimes this only takes two times. Other times it will take three or four. It depends on the moisture content of the bud at that time. Okay guys theres my two cents. I gotta stay out of these cookies. I just go on and on. tc gm714
