    Soil: Organic worm poo
    Nutrients: None till this day
    Lights: Sun from window
    Plant: Nirvana Medusa
     
    Trying to make it start to flower now.
     
    One thing for sure, i should have topped it at something like day 15 from seed, did not know any better, so it might get a bit tall, especially seeing those sativa genes...
     
    I dont want to do any 'training', because it makes me sad doing sadistic things to it, i have topped it now once :D
     
    Any suggestions or pitfalls i should watch out for? Thanks!
     
    Oh and btw im tracking my times using this little neat app i made (for PC), that gives me exact day when the picture was taken, with option to downsample it for uploading! Check it out in sillicon valley if you are interested http://forum.grasscity.com/silicon-valley/1297133-little-grow-picture-time-tracker.html

    Not much, maybe once in 5 days or something...
     
    After that i sprayed it with water more often than not, i don't even know if i were supposed to do that, but it tuned out fine it seems :D
     
  4. I'm curious where you live in the world where it will start to flower right now from the sun. My understanding was that outdoor won't flower until the end of summer.
     
  5. Its not exactly outdoor, i can control darkness periods :p

  8. Yes...the dreaded black cannabis monster....one sure way to get it to go away temporarily is pick it up...hug it and squeeze it....but in the end they always come back. Not terrible plants at all for the window btw.
     
  9. I grew in the window last year. Make sure that the back of the plant is getting enough light as well. If it's outdoor, you cannot "make" it go into flower. That's nature's job. Flowering usually starts around Aug 1st. Good luck!
     
  10. hopefully with no light leaks

    What do you mean back of the pant? Should i be rotating it? I taught about that, but logically plant would then need to readjust to face sun direction - spending energy! What would happen if i 'bake' it just from one side? I mean most indoor light grown plants 'bake' from one side to - top or or from one side if its vertical type of garden... Its indoors, indoors. How did your window grow go in terms of flowering? Did you hid it from light to simulate 12/12?
     
     
    In closet yes.
     
  12. I grew mine in a garage window. The walls were black and the only light source the plants got was from the window. They strained to get that light. Some of the back branches did not grow a lot of bud because of lack of light. Click on my sig to view pics and vids.
     
  13. Ill definitely check that out, thanks. One quick question - how many hours of direct sunlight your plant got?
     
  14. Not gonna lie That's the best window grown plant I've ever seen! Well done mate! You can throw that bitch into flower whenever you feel like it now that it's gone through preflower. You do want to quarter turn the plant every day though, this even out the plant without any stress. You gotta remember that outdoors the sun moves from side to side every day, evenly lighting the plant. I practice under the same principle indoors. Even light distribution is the name of the game.
