3 weeks and 2 days into flower
what you think any good?

twitch
11-16-2007, 03:00 PM
ok so my bottom leaves are yellowing and its not the tips there not curling just turning yellow
latly its been sitting and 83 to 87 in there it use to be at 75 to 80 (one of my fans crapped out on me) could that be the problem i water reg with mircle grow flower bloom i use half the recommended dose i also use super thrive like 3 drops a gallon

also if i have to harvest early what are the cons of this?

Do you know the humidity in there? What kind of lights? I dont know about harvesting early... I would just keep checking for amber trichromes. Sorry about playing 21 questions with you... :) keep it up, looks good

twitch
11-16-2007, 05:27 PM
i like 21 question humidity right now 33 lights just kicked on i have 1 flow tube and 4 cfls all in the right color spectrum

Juzt JR

Well it sounds pretty good :) If it was me, I might put 1 CFL on each side of the plant to dish out some light on other bud sites... Also, CFL's put out most light on the sides of themselves, so maybe turn them a little horizontal ;)
good luck, keep us updated

twitch
11-19-2007, 03:54 AM
its tall enough now where they are on each side i need another flou

a local guy suggested lock out and gave me some organic stuff (floralicious bloom)to use he told me to give it clean water for a few days then use that
it sounded right so thats what i am doing second day of giveing it water

that should be pretty good on the light 1 more definatly wouldnt hurt but i would try to get at least a cheap reflector for the light, and that might help

interesting, looks like indica leaves but definably has sativa growth characteristics.
Very good trich growth. Looks like some bad azz sh!t. Doesn't look like a high yielder.
Stop the superthrive, it delays finish.
Also adding molasses now will equal more girth. About 1tbsp/gal(info plagiarized from stinkyattic).

Keeping it alive long enough to harvest is a feat in it self. I've seen better(from exp. grows) and I've seen lots worse.
Your gonna be very happy with the smoke. Never smoked any weed that I enjoyed more than my homegrown. Something about growing it yourself supersedes potency.

twitch
11-22-2007, 04:53 PM
sweet thanks for all the replies guys

i just started using the new stuff and thats all i am using no more miracle grow for me i'll post pics in a couple days when i changes

Thats 4 weeks!

Nice size considering lighting and being a noob. The only thing that is a concern to me is the yellow fan leaves. I am not an expert but what nutes were you using. Looks like a nitrogen defitcantcy. I know you are in flower and you need high phospherous. But you still need a little nitrogen for plant health.

Maybe someone who Knows this stuff can give you a better answer.

As for the 3 out of 4 plants male that sucks, I almost always get 50/50, to bad it couldn't have been the other way around.

Great work in progress twitch!!

twitch
11-23-2007, 12:46 AM
thank you
the yellowing of the leaves has stopped it use to be a progressive thing (just get yellower each day) after i gave it water for 4 days it stopped i am giving it the floralicious bloom now i am got the temp to even out as well

i am going to post up more pics because i can

Jerry Garcia 2007
11-23-2007, 01:14 AM
Twitch,
Glad to hear you got it fixed!

I think I read that you got the seeds from good bag weed. My guess is you are growing Big Bud, by the size of the buds at 4 weeks and being indica domminate is why I say that, but that is only a guess.

twitch
11-27-2007, 11:49 PM
i plan to flush the 5th to the 13th then clip them the 13th and dry out till xmas

twitch
12-01-2007, 05:27 PM
ok so my lil plant is going good but the main fan leaves have slowly been turning yellow... not a spotted yellow or curling leaves yellow just slowly turning yellow then falling off..
i was reading some where that its normal for some of the main fan leaves to fall off when it gets closer to harvest
and i know the rest of the plant is still growing cuz the buds are still getting noticeably bigger day by day

so yall think this is normal or am i slowly killing it
i can post up pics if that would help yall tell me whats wrong
thanks

all my trichs are milky white and if any one out there is harvesting and hasn't ever
looked at them really close up (not ur naked eye) it is so cool looking because they
are all milky white not clouded but white and like 2 weeks ago they were crystal clear

any one know how long after that i SHOULD harvest? i planed to on the 13th..
i want it dry for x-mas lol

You are gonna want to harvest about 48 hours into the dark cycle....that is about what it will take to fully flush the clorophyll
Props:thumbsup:

twitch
12-10-2007, 05:01 AM
what u mean 48 hours in to the dark cycle? so i am going to turn the lights off for 2 days then clip them?

DreamerGirl7
12-10-2007, 06:00 PM
i think he mean this : your plants are on 12/12 .

48 ours of dark period is 4 days !

In 4 days ur be ready for harvest ! :D

Nope, this is... uh... I don't know...

You can't flush chlorophyll. It is bound within the palisade cells of the plant. Chlorophyll does break down, though, and you want to withhold Nitrogen during flower so that the plant cannot replace it. In soil, watering with only water during the last week of the flower cycle will help to leach it out of the soil and not be available for uptake by the plant.

The period of darkness before harvest is optional. It has NOTHING to do with chlorophyll; it's done because heat and intense light break down THC and you are trying to avoid the plant's exposure to either right before harvest.
Personally, I think the dark time is not necessary.

Just a FYI... if you are unfamiliar with any aspect of cannabis growing, please do not answer questions on that specific subject as if you know what you are talking about... it leads to confusion and flame wars and neither one is productive.

Stinky . . . by looking at the twitch's pictures i personally think that he will soon harvest .

What is your opinion ?

twitch
12-10-2007, 07:21 PM
yes stinky i would like to know what u think of my grow... you seem to know ur sh!t more then most people on this site

stinkyattic
12-10-2007, 07:30 PM
Those will go longer. A week, perhaps. There are still a good number of white hairs. You should, however, start checking the trichome ripeness soon to see how the progression of cloudiness is coming.

twitch
12-10-2007, 07:34 PM
there all either cloudy or milk white...
no ambers tho...

Absolutely beautiful plants! Make sure to let us know your yield. Good job for your first time.

Oh and don't forget to let us know how it smokes too!!

thanks sociobud i will keep ever one updated on it till i smoke it all lol

twitch
12-11-2007, 07:39 AM
so anyways when is the best time to cut it?
at the end of lights on or at the end of lights off?

twitch
12-14-2007, 03:23 PM
well i hacked it down no one seem to have 2 cents to put in on the harvest in dark or light cycle...
so now i am playin the waiting game... on average how long do yall cure for i have heard alot of different times from 1 week to 3 months... i would like to hear every one oppenion on this
stinky and Texas grass i would also like to see what yall have to say on the topic

twitch
12-15-2007, 07:39 PM
so this is my harvest... well not all its when i clipped it off it all off it was just over 14 grams, final product was 6.7...
its not much but for my first grow its good and the bud its bomb the taste isn't quite there neither is the smell... it smells after i grind it up, then it has that dank smell but its not very strong...

not all of the bud is ready yet, i had a couple small nugs set to the side that i knew would dry faster.. so i am smoking a bowel of this :stoned: pretty good high

tell me what u think

50ul }{4ck3r
12-15-2007, 07:45 PM

twitch
12-31-2007, 10:34 PM
lol no i dont mind at all...

i flowered it after the 13 to 15 node... i used LST it had a wicked 90 degree bend in it..
it was in veg for a month and a half
(i should have used more lights in veg it would have gotten bigger faster)

i flowered it for just under 2 months... most for the trichs had gone from clear to white...
(i should have flowered it longer about a week to 1 an 1/2)

i gave some to some friends i asked for there honest thoughts
every one said it was really good and tasted good... i also gave
some to my friends dad who use to grow, he said it was good with a nice high but it was a lil on the harsh side

i though it was a lil harsh too, i also didn't think it tasted
absolutely the best, it had a very organic taste to it but it
wasn't bad by no means

did i answer every thing

there are some people who do a from seed to bud i have never tried.... if u want a fast into flowering, veg it for 4 weeks to a months then put it on the 12/12 cycle
veg=24/0 24 hour light some people use 18/6 (up to u)
flowering is 12/12 lights

if you have any more question i would recommend starting one of these and post pics and what exactly ur starting with you will get a whole mess of people to help...
and if u start one i will make an effort to check it every day

twitch
01-02-2008, 06:12 AM
how many lumens did you use on just that one plant?

i dont exactly know... i use 2 120watt cfls (actual watts was like 43) then a 90 watt 18 inch flo tube

and for any one other there thinking of growing and dont have the money for the hps or mh CFLs are the SH!T

joshjamer
01-02-2008, 07:18 PM
ok thanks man...but i think i need a few more cfls ...actually i know i do i only have 1200-1300 lumens right now...when i get a chance ill post some pics of my set up. im gunna paint it white and pick up a four way socket and close up the back a little better (right now i have a piece of rug ha) but what im wondering now is because its enclosed (basically for sneaky purposes only) should i get some sort of filter to put in the back for airflow. and one last question do you think a large pc fan is sufficient? i just liked it cuz i want it to be quiet...

twitch
01-04-2008, 02:37 AM
quiet isn't going to be easy mine always hums... but the fans will depend on ur temp, if its to hot add another one... but will will need an in and out
