My first grow- Super Lemon Haze & LA Confidential. Today is day 34 into flowering. I trimmed a lot of fan leaves 2 days ago because they were so bushy and lower area just wasn't getting enough light. Seemed to have loved it. My favorite girls from each strain (Ripley & Frosty), started from seeds, same age- really show (me) how different they are. They smell amazing.
beautiful looking ladies.im not into trimming like that.slows the bud down,they are full of food.sugar,starches etc.im not complaining just saying. every one does it differently.apart from that lovely plants
Hey...! Thank you very much! I honestly didn't have a clue what I was doing or how much I was to remove- They were so bushy and full, but they seem alright-No your comment about it delaying the bud development does have me concerned... Well, I guess there's no going back now... Quick question if you wouldn't mind... I am a 37 into flour and I was wondering when I am supposed to begin flushing? My plants have been on advanced nutrients system, and half are LA Con & half are Super Lemon Haze. I know the LA confidential are supposed to mature more quickly than the Sativa strains (2-3 weeks??)- I've read so many different comments on the length of time. Thanks again- So fun to hear that this project actually looks good to someone that knows what they're doing! Sent from my liberated iPhone using GC Forum
Hey... I appreciate all advice- thank you. When you say too far from the light- do you mean initially or right now (I believe one of my photos shows a pic that would show distance)? They are currently about 22" from their light (1000 HPS). I did try to put them closer about 2 weeks ago and they got very wilted. I do have an air-cooled hood, however, I live in an area that gets very cold at night, so I have the fan on a thermostat so it's not running all the time. They are (nearly) all at the same height level, so I haven't moved them closer because of that-just thought I was close enough... Should I try and move them closer again? They are day 39 into flower. Thanks again. PS: The Super Lemon Haze were the ones that seemed to wilt. The LA Con seem (thankfully, so far) to handle everything better.
Day 51 of flower. My girls are doing amazing for having me as their gardener! Sent from my liberated iPhone using GC Forum
Looks awesome! I just trimmed up a lot of my bottoms trying to produce bug fat colas. What are u using for nutes I'm trying to use my shooting powder but I'm a little confused in when to add the additives during flower...
Thanks! The truth is, this is my first attempt at something other than orchids! I've been following advice from here, and as for nutes I've gone pretty light (basically 1/2 or less of what the directions called for) of some of the Advanced Nutrients line every other watering. I just went light. Sent from my liberated iPhone using GC Forum
Day 56 of flower 3 days after using Final Phase flush. Buds are really fattening up and they look like they're on schedule for the strain (LA Con). I've done one clear R/O water flush and will continue that until harvest. Trichomes are milky but not yet amber. Smell is phenomenal and I'm really glad I spent the extra money for the larger scrubber. Humidity here (outside) has been almost 87 everyday so it's been a real concern, but so far I've managed to keep their temp/humidity at 70/50 using an arsenal of de-humidifyers, fans, and exhausts. Everything I've read about the last weeks of flower being the trickiest- is completely true. :/ Sorry photos aren't that great, but I think it really shows how much they've swelled in 3 days.

Hey... The air pots were a little pricey (for me)- almost 9.00 each, but honestly, they probably were the only reason a beginner like me didn't screw things up by over watering. I planted in a cocoa mix and they dried out every other day. I did not give them nutes every water time- but every other. Tomorrow 2 of my (LA Con) girls are getting chopped... As excited as I am to finally be here...it's actually gonna be hard to see them go. :,( Sent from my liberated iPhone using GC Forum
This morning was day 58 into flower, and my biggest girl (Ripley) got cut down. This is first time ever, so I hope the timing was right. Her tric's were turning amber (not all) yesterday, and this morning- a lot more...so I cut her. I hope the trim job I did was okay...?
I know I have a lot of leaves left to go. I just did a pre-trim when I cut them down. I hang (whole plants) upside down for 3-4 days- then do final trim before they go on the hanging rack. Sent from my liberated iPhone using GC Forum
If your used to orchids cannabis should be a breeze . I can grow buds much better than orchids haha (I used to overwater them like most ppl do lol) Your babies are lookin good man
