[redrosesforabluelady]

so, these are my plants that are left for me to believe they are or, hope anyway lol.
there about 3 months old and, this season has really sucked weather wise. they didnt do much the first 2 months, stayed really small for a while. and with nutrients in this past month i brought it up to where it is now.

but i usually have decent pre flowers by now this time of year, but this season has left me scratchin my head a bit.

i think other than no pre flowers they look pretty good, let me know what u guys think:jointsmile:

ill post newer pics in about 5 -7 days. ,

[redrosesforabluelady]

so i woke up today and checked them, and i was so far correct, 2 of the 3 are in fact female. WOOHOO. which is perfect timing because i topped the last one last week and is growing the extra crown great and is looking great.

new pics in a few days

[MDFinest]

ill comment on the pics in a sec but how much ae those paint buckets.. I seen them at Home Depot and I want them for my transplant.. but I couldn't see a price!!!

[MDFinest]

but yea those GIRLS look great.. I love that fresh light green new growth. That's how you KNOW your plant is doing good!

Is that bagseed or good genetics. If bagseed it could explain the late flowering.

[redrosesforabluelady]

I got the bucket for like 2 bucks. Which is a steal lol
The seeds are good genetics . I got them from jamaica a few years back. The guy said there jamican tigerstripe

Grown same strain past three years and never flowered this late.... Its pretty weird lol

[redrosesforabluelady]

so after a lil inspecting this morning more pre flowers are growing , very nice! lol,
my plant i topped last grew just about an inch from yesterday, which is pretty bitchin

looks like things are startin to go back to normal. ill post some pics tomorrow since i have off.

if u would like any specific shots of it, post it here, ill get them

alright off to work.

[homerun]

He's how we do it in NORCAL. These are clones planted May. They would have gotten taller, but bent them over so my security would be intact.

[redrosesforabluelady]

ok cool,

but please dont rob my thread lol

its one of my boards peeves.

how long have they been flowering for?

[redrosesforabluelady]

so since todays my day off i decided to go out and finally buy a digital camera.

and yep you guessed it, first thing i took pics of was my bitches.

now that i have a quality camera i got some internode shots for ya of some hairs.

i even threw one side shot of it so you can see a reference of how tall. keep in mind theres like 6-8 inches in the bucket u cant see.

[LetsSeeYa]

Very nice looking plants. Its been a crappy year i think from comments iv read here this year outdoors. Its been no rain, or not enough rain. I didn't get rain in the beginning for about 3 weeks, but then we got a bit to much. Its been better as of late and i hope for you too.

That guys posting in everyones thread, but he never comes back if that helps.

Nice topping too. After i topped mine i got six top's. Really helped the plant. Some people don't top and like that big cola, but double the bud sites are just fine with me:thumbsup:

i got a whole lot of rain and not a lot of very dark cloudy days. i believe it rained 26 days or so of june. it sucked completely lol

but now it is certaintly starting to look better. but i hope weather doesnt interfere with harvesting time and force something early. cause that would suck lol

[bonedaddy420]

Hey looking good, just wondering what type of nutrients you used/are using on it?

[redrosesforabluelady]

Hey looking good, just wondering what type of nutrients you used/are using on it?

right now im just using mircle grow bloom booster because ive yet to get a chance to drive to the store i go to to get the " real" blooming stuff


its really just anything with high phosphorus or however u spell it lol

if it has a high percent of that, its gonna be good to use

[redrosesforabluelady]

so got some pretty good news. the hairs on all plants have almost tripled over the last 2 days.

i would have taken some pictures but it was raining.

ill most likely post new pics tomorrow , if not def. monday

[redrosesforabluelady]

i took some quick pics to show you guys what i was talkin about.

im surprised how the hairs at all internodes and tops tripled in such little time.

its bitchin, none the less lol

Damn seeing this is making me soooo damn impatient:):):) My girls have been showing pistils for near 3 weeks now and they still don't have nearly as many as yours do! I am totaly jealous! Great work!

were you able to find any of the bloom booster i told you about?

do you know how many hours of darkness your plant is getting

[bonedaddy420]

Yeah I gave them the first dose of high P ferts on wednesday, hopefully they start forming bud sites soon, I am starting the realize the advantage of an early strain in the area I am in, as the first frost is predicted for September 15, which isn't nearly enough time at this rate. Right now I believe total day light hours are just a tad under 14 hours here right now.

yea im basically right around the same thing with you. i usually harvest middle to late sept. but because of how strange this season was. were gonna have to try and push it till mid oct.

you should start noticing a difference in a week , it says to only feed them like once a week but i do twice to 3 times. cause im using only 15-30-15 solution.

[bonedaddy420]

I am also using a 15-30-15 fert. Anyways, I usually only water/nute on Wednesdays, with occasional straight waterings on sundays if its been hot (like this weekend), and I usually use a full scoop(full dose) of the nutes in each of my water cans, along with a table spoon of molasses, and I use lemon concentrate to lower my Ph. Do you give full doses every time you feed or do you do half doses if you feed a few times a week?

i was told to also feed just once a week but i never listened lol i do a a hole dose for 3/4 of a water can lol..


my plants were never harmed though.... im probably gonna get reemed by someone for saying this but sometimes i feed like 3-4 times out of the week.
it really depends on how much bug your plant is. i water my plant almost every day, except for rain of course.

if u look in my posts from a year or 2 ago i experimented with sugar water as a substitute nute.. it worked kinda well lol



but its not like they dont show great improvement. where i made my last top it has grown more then a inch a day

im actually about to go smoke and post some pics, so theryll be some new pics for ya in like 15 min, lol

[redrosesforabluelady]

the first one is the growth i was talking about over just 2-3 days... its a good 4 inches.... i drew a circle around it with red, but u can barely see it lol

the other bud growth is doing very nice as well. already has small bud formed bud sites

theres one hair on her that is like a full inch already it looks so awesome lol

i just really hope we dont get our first frost untill oct or so. cause these bitches have easily another 2 months to go

[redrosesforabluelady]

some of the are starting to stink pretty good lol. dont know if its a good or bad sign ti is already

- another note is that there has been a significant amount of color change in pistils already.

but the pre flowers are still just barely formed.


man this season. .... is so not cool

[LetsSeeYa]

Sounds like your pistils are pulling up that fert your given her.
Ya think? Nice looking plant man:rasta: :thumbsup:

[redrosesforabluelady]

that could be it lol

but ive never had pistil color changes this early though

eh.. no biggie.

[redrosesforabluelady]

so today i checked the plants out. and there are definitely doing better then last update.

they are showing more matured bud sites. more so just the crowns though.

ill update pics of them either tomorrow or sunday.

[redrosesforabluelady]

so the tops of my plants, more specifically the ones with nice tops starting to grow on them are starting to bend at the top towards the sun.

i cant really move them though cause i have an electric fence for my dog and the spot i have them in is the best

are there any solutions that wouldnt involve moving the plant.

its weird cause im looking at it right now. and the sun is beaming on the whole thing... so idk :(





help!!!!!?!?!? lol

[bonedaddy420]

I don't understand the problem. Is it they are growing over a fence top thus being able to be seen?

[redrosesforabluelady]

no, not cause there being seen, but just because the whole plant gets hit with sun. so i sont understand why some tops are bending in some directions..


actually one was bent away from the sun as well

[bonedaddy420]

Oooohhhhhh, well in that case I wouldn't worry about anything!

[redrosesforabluelady]

so heres another update on how things are going...

i moved them just a little so the bending stopped. they seem to be doing better.

bud sites are filling in nicely for the crowns, not so much yet for the internodes but there getting there..

[redrosesforabluelady]

so i figured you guys were sick of pics of the crowns.

so i gave u some internode shots now that there starting to look nice.

[dirtnap411]

looking good :thumbsup: I wish mine looked so good.

[redrosesforabluelady]

its been a very off growing season

mine just started to turn around last month, urs could be the same way:rasta:

[redrosesforabluelady]

plants are looking really well, coming along very nicely..

days are starting to get significantly shorter now so buds should really start to fatten,

my only worrie is that the frost is gonna hit in the very beginning of oct.

idk if thats gonna be enough time for them to fully flower:(

[redrosesforabluelady]

alright. :) things are starting to really look good:thumbsup:

it looks like oct.6-10 im gonna be taking her down due to predicted first frost:(

so now is the nerve racking time to see how fat the buds will gughet and how much bigger....:stoned:

ughhh.. i hate waiting for some things lol

got 12 pics today for ya. of course in posts of 5's so check them out and let me know if they make you go "ooooooohhhhhhhh" lol

[redrosesforabluelady]

so im going to pull my plants on or around oct.1 because frost is predicted around then,

only thing that sucks is that i dont have the ability to see the trichs really up close so i cant see if there clear or cloudy. there definitely all over though lol

give me some feedback and some other ways i might be able to tell.. cause i dont know any other way other than having a high powered magnifyer which i dont have:(

You can use the ole "75% red hairs" method. Looks like you've got a ways to go. Can you cover them during frost?

[dmcefc]

If you know anyone with a decent camera to take close up shots of your plant ,my uncle has got a pretty expensive camera so I'm going to cut a bit off my plant (when she's ready) and get him to take as close up shot as he can then transfer the image to my pc then enlarge it and see if it works,

I've got a 5 mp camera on my phone and if I get the focus right and enlarge it I can zoom in pretty good on my pc so his pro camera should do the job,

not an answer because I haven't tried it ,so if anyone has tried it let us know,please.

[redrosesforabluelady]

well how much longer would u say id have to go. theyve been flowering for a while now

[kdub82]

Dude go to radio shack and tell them you want the $ 13.00 microscope.. I got me one today and I know they are in radio shacks all over the states for 13 or right around that much.. It is just a small handheld one that is shaped like a small camcorder.. its like looking through a range finder or one eyed binoculars.. real handy. they are 60x - 100x's but I leave mine at 60x's... I PROMISE you will love it!!!!!!! I would think you have maybe like 2 - 4 weeks but im no pro at all..but if weather wont let it be then use your own judgement!

[redrosesforabluelady]

THANKS, thats awesome ill go check tonight.

yea the weather always fucks me. it sucks.

and to top things off i think i have to pull it cause i think its dying!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[kdub82]

Yea I had 2 girls and one of them was doing alot better than the other but for some reason when they started budding then the one that was doing so good just started dying off and has not stopped.. but the one that wasnt doing hardly any good is the one that is producing good amounts of bud... hell I cant explain it.. it just happened but I do hope everything works out for you. Good luck bro!!!!!!!!!!!

[Joefarmer]

I'd say at least 2 more wks.

[redrosesforabluelady]

PLEASE READ MY NEW HELP POST AND HELP ME LOL

i think my plants water logged and dying. and im supposed to harvest soon

wtf do i do

[UpstateGorilla]

I t looks as though they will need a while more but only you can really judge how much longer. Just get that microscope so u can check the trichs and pay attention to the plant. If they need time an u kno its going to frost you should cover them if possible as opposed to cutting them early.Just my opinion. I use clear 6mil poly. im covering like 26 i have outdoors at night to help with all the rain we have had here in the north east. It will also keep my plants safe through this upcoming cold weather. Hope they turn out 4 u.

[Joefarmer]

PLEASE READ MY NEW HELP POST AND HELP ME LOL

i think my plants water logged and dying. and im supposed to harvest soon

wtf do i do

You can cover the pot or ground(not sure what ur growing in)near base of the plant to keep water out until harvest.

I've had to take a few early myself. Soooo much rain. Had some bud rot. Try not to stress. It's still gonna get ya high once dry.
