My bubblelicious and white berry are just a couple weeks from done so I've started my photosensitive red dragon and keeping to the 18/6 light cycle with them all will be fun. So now they've had 12 hours in water in the drawer under my ballast and then 24 hours to crack in the towels, and have been in soil for 3 and a half days, 36 hours for the seed to show it's head above ground and 2 days to get to this big Added a supplementary 60w cfl 6400k for the baby and side of some buds to see if the uv affects them too Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Catchup update. Just harvested 1/2 of my first grow so I have a bit of time to give to a catchup post. I'll call the first post day 2 [of being above ground] September 24th. Day 7. September 28th. Day 11. October 8th. Day 21. October 19th. Day 32. Now going to promote stretching a bit and defoliate. I don't mind giving it another 2/3 weeks of veg as the 4 weeks so far on a 60w bulb hasn't stimulated that much stretch. I think FIMming at the size they were, may have stunted their growth a little too much.
Training the side branches to stretch up. Let's get some serious amounts of tops going. Will switch 12:12 in a week or so now it's growing quicker Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Defoliation complete. Those side branches are starting to reach to the top now and really filling in the centre of the plant. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Day 59. November 15th. Switched to 12\\12 with a 48 hour dark period. I'll call this flower day 1. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Day 11. Defoliation today. View attachment 1627447 Also redid lst using a new method. Not sure what the target yield is but I'll be expecting a lot after the last grow Especially with a 2 month veg. (Too much stress for a small girl I'm guessing. PMS started to take it's toll). Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Thanks bro Day 29. Starting to frost up now. There's a split down the main stem but letting her repair herself since it's still hanging in there. Should be okay. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Day 39 Hoping for 5oz from this one. No idea if I'll get it but hoping it's not too much to ask from her. 5.5 weeks into a 9 week flower (exp. 11 weeks). Should do okay. Just planted a Dutch passion the ultimate and a critical kush (Barney's again) and they've sprouted their seedy heads above soil. The ultimate seems much, much quicker to the first push so guessing I'll have a lot more of that when it's ready Can't wait for this 50i:50s dragon hybrid to be ready: too much indica in my lungs.

Day 44. No more than 19 days left according to the seed bank but I'll assume 4 weeks for now. Not in any rush to pull it down as I'm still getting through the last of what's left of g1. Now for the mommy. I'm aware there are some yellower shades of green in there which I like to start showing for this time of the grow. I'll do a flush as the drink in a few days but I'll steroid them up in today's watering with more nutes. Must say I was expecting more by this stage, I know it's where the flowers put on the weight so maybe the 3" colas will all puff out to the 7"+ of the last grow. A hundred 7" buds would be nice. Yes please
One more thing. Meet the babies Left. F Critical Kush (Barney's farm) Right. F The Ultimate (Dutch passion) Front. F Louis OG XII (Cali connection) Back. Reg 2 x failed purple diesel. Both purple diesels popped, got their taproots several days after the crit and ultimate did and never sprouted. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Day 51 Hopefully 2-3 weeks left. The Seedbank said no more than 63 days which would put us at 12 days left. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Day 54. A 6 topped bud? Hehe. More tops is always better imo. Even tops of tops. Almost no changes the last week so either think it needs more lumens to finish it off or it's preparing for a big growth spurt. Or both. Not getting a 600w HPS now to finish it as the ballast and lamp would only be used for around 4/5 weeks. The babies are my last ever grow so this and those wouldn't make it worth while.

Day 57. Babies first Now mommy Think some centre colas may be stunted by the light intensity in the centre. Trichome production still taking place but little growth compared to the outer colas. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
