hi guys, I am a smoker more than 24 years but this is my first grow. I decided to grow with one of my bagseeds that I am collecting for many years from the weeds that I liked. I seeded some of them randomly early in May just to try and only 1 survived at the end. (2nd one is on the way, seeded 2 months later). I do not know the strain but looks sativa than an indica. but it could be a ruderalis because it did not grow more than 5 finger leaves. I also need your ideas and commends what strain is it? I am growing at the small hidden corner of my balcony which gets sun after mid day 13:00 till 20:00 all afternoon. First 4-5 weeks was very cloudy and rainy here. that is why did not grow very well and I kept it in a small pot (like solo party cup size pot) with the other two plants which they have died later. On 20th June, I transplanted to 1 galone size pot to keep it smaller, stealthier for security .after I ve changed the pot, it started to grow faster. they started to show sex in the first days of July, which I did not understand why this early, may be stressed in a small pot and decided to flower early.. I was watering every two days without any fertilizer, just plain, drinking bottled water with 6.75PH. once I ve seen that is a female, I take care like a baby, every day when I wake up, I go and see her and take some photos of it. Every night, I am staring at her and checking how she grows. I started to feed her with a NPK 222 fertilizer for all plants(it was only couple dollars) every 5-6 days 1 cap, as written on it .but the the edges of the leaves started to burn and I gave half a cap next times. before I went for a vacation for 3 weeks,I tried to do LST according to my readings on internet and youtube, but it ended up with a HST. I Supercropped her. I wrenched it and bind it to the edge of the pot to keep it shorter. I left her to a friend of mine to take care but his place was only getting shadowy sun from the trees for couple of hours a day. I asked my friend to send photos of her every three days. I was seeing that she was blooming day by day. It was like an obsession. I was thinking of her while on vacation . Once I returned 10 days ago, I took her to her place at the balcony again.I started to feed her with a organic(like balsamic vinegar color) blooming compost with high PK that I purchased from gardenshop close to my home. I managed to keep her small but also seems like the yield will be small too. (I expect 1oz or 1,5oz). she has 1 main cola and 12 nugs but they are bigger because of HST training. she seemed to me growing is slowed down and while I was browsing on some forums I heart about "root bounding" issue and because of her size and yield, I thought that she might be root bounded. I ve read lots of different things , some says it is not good transplant while flowering some says no. After I changed my mind couple of times,at the end, I transplanted her again to 3 galone pot to give her more room yesterday. she might be in week 5-6 or7 flowering (I am not sure) but what do you think? is she looks like in flowering week 5-6-7 or may be she is sativa that is why.How does she looks? healthy? what will be total yield? and how long it will take before harvest? I need your commends.
thanks, today I ve checked but very few trhicomes. is it normal in this stage of sativa? will be more next weeks? now it might be week 7.photos taken today 6:00am with a loupe .what should I do for more thricome?
What were you using to look at the trichomes? I find a 50x-100x is nice to look at the glands. Depending on the strain, usually they don't really pack on the "sugar" until the last couple weeks when the buds swell
She's got a long ways to go still, you'll see the trichs starting to form soon, the calyxes usually tend to swell while producing the glands. 5-6 weeks mark. Sometimes sooner on certain strains, maybe later on others. She's gotta be about 2 weeks since flower?
Must have a lot of sativa in her, that's pretty normal for them. My super lemon haze goes for about 15 weeks, I don't run it much lol
today 12 weeks in flowering. I have checked with a loupe there are very few amber and 60% milky,40% clear thrics.I think she needs 1 or 2 weeks more. Going very slowly but I am happy with results. Yield will be more than my expectations.
today I 've quick dry small piece of bud and tested, it works. But not very strong.an average, acceptable high. I hope will be better later when thricomes change color.there are still a lot of white pistils.50_50% Brown and white.
