2nd grow, floro/CFL

[plasticcat]

looks so bomb man, did you look for pre flowers ? if so when did they show up

late

[ThePot]

Yea I did. I saw them within a week of flower, maybe like 5 days? Some people say uou can see them even if they're not in flower by week 6 or so. I think its really hard to tell which is why I left them in the room until I was certain they were males. Males have more obvious stems that grow out, female preflowers not so much.

Only two pics today. Week 7 begins on wednesday, already gave it its last dose of 10-30-20 yesterday. I also realized it needs to be cut down (maybe reveged??) by the 15th or so cause I'll be gone for xmas break the next week. It will still get to about week 8.5 though, I dont know if it even needs that long. I dont know why all the leaves are dying, might have been a little low on water wed-sun when I was gone or just overnuted still from giving it too much molasses. Not a major concern, I'll be flushing around the 2nd or so anyway.

what do you think GC??

Looks pretty nice, too much nutes like you said but very nice.

[ThePot]

thanks for stoppin by and the kind words.

I think I'm going to flush her later today, no other exciting news.

In other news, I will be eating some mushrooms with my friend and gf

O yea, and I started germinating a seed that will be a 12/12 experiment. (hopefully)

[SmknVTEC]

Let me know how the shrooms go. I have never tried anything but, MJ, never felt the need. However, I have tripped off of some amazing drugs when I was in the hospital. Of course that was no fun.

[ThePot]

Shrooms were a good time, took less than usual but at the same time didnt need to go balls to the wall. I recommend them to anyone, its really a great time and always will teach you something new.

Flushed her today, put 7 gallons of water through the soil, threw in some hydrogen peroxide in the last gallon. The ph went up a bunch, but its still good, went up from around 6 maybe lower to around 6.4-6.6. Buds seem to be getting bigger, might not even need another 2 weeks. More pics to come when I start to see some effects of the flushing, if any. I have no idea what it will weight out to be. Last time my best plant was around 14 grams, so hopefully I can get around 20 grams or so.

Day 44 of flower, somewhere around Day 88 total.

[IMgreen]

that's one nice plant!

good job!

[SmknVTEC]

Looks real good. Did you hallucinate from the shrooms?

[ThePot]

Yea I did, not anything too crazy but some open and closed eye hallucinations. I didnt eat as much as I usually would either. Defintiely enough though.

BUMP

Cut a bud off yesterday, in a paper bag now,, after drying for 24 hrs. The bud was .9 grams or so right off the plant so we'll see what she is when dry. Cut 2 more off today, Day 50 of Flower.
.
Smoke report and some pics to come in tomorrow or sunday. the 2 buds i clipped earlier were just over 7 grams wet, straight off the plant.

[ThePot]

Heres one of the first buds to be clipped. My first grow I cut both of my plants down all at once, so Im going for a more gradual approach this time. So far Ive cut down maybe 4 or 5 buds. 2 were about 1.8 grams total, one maybe a little more than a gram. Clipped 2 more today one pretty big one, Ill post some pics later.

good smoke, a nice up high as opposed to stoned. Taste is OK, none of them have been cured really, just dried. More pics to come soon

[ThePot]

Heres a pic of one completely dry bud, It was 1 gram on the dot.

B-E-A-utiful

[ThePot]

Thanks man, and everyone else that took interest in this journal. Drying/curing process hasn't been going as well as it could though. I started hanging them for 3 days or so in the dark, then putting some in paper bags for 1/2 day or so. Then I started hanging them and then just throwing them in jars but its taking them forever to get dry enough so I might switch back to original plan I dunno.

what do you do?

also, when harvest time is near do people usually just do 1 big flush and then plain water or flush multiple times?
