Quick update: def. indica dominant...(bagseed)..new growth finally putting out 7 fingers (also on 8th node, what is recommended time or node count for flowering indicas?)...minor under curl on larger fan leaves... and LST is going great, new growth on bottom and new shoots coming from the middle...also picked up cloning dome from local hydro store and decided to experiment with small spearmint cuts for trial run.. when tall enough will attempt to clone her for the first time (any advice greatly appreciated)..Using cloning powder and peat moss pucks for now...DWC has me extremely intrested and will be making small bucket for next grow using botanicare fertz...Pics coming tomorrow :hippy:

Pic of set up and 8th node coming in :jointsmile:.Still wondering when to throw it to 12/12

Unless your strating form clone, plants forced to flower should be at least least 6 weeks old on most strains, but if you want the vegetative cycle thats longer its bettr for a bigger yeild

1 more week of veg it is.....

[deleafer2220]

Cutting week short..throwing into flower tonight... just got Mini-Blocks and Gro-Blocks for cuttings that will be taken this week...Pics soon ..hope shes a she :(

[deleafer2220]

Quick Update:

Decided against flowering for another week (still not big enough to I guess)
First and second pics are 2 days difference
Next is side shot
Then top view (sorry for blurry photo)
Last the cloning dome...still testing it out for fun..

[headshake]

looking damn fine deleafer!

as far as when to flower. it doesn't have anything to do with how old the plant is necessarily. it has to due with when the plant reaches maturity. this is usually around the 5-6th node. this is when the plant will have opposite leaves (it's really alternating, but most call it opposite).

good growing!

Thanks for the info Shake..not much to report besides alot of praying at this point...if it is a female im considering throwing her back into veg. and taking cuttings. Any input on this ?

[dustoxx420]

i agree on you re-vegging a female, all for it better to have a steady flow of female only plants that will be of the same genetic code

[deleafer2220]

Agreed Dustox,

I want to dial in my grows before i go investing in beans that im liable of ruinning. If i can get this strain dialed in then ill be investing in better strains. :stoned: Not a clue if any of that made sense.

[deleafer2220]

2nd night of flowering..
Tied her down again for last time..

Took couple cuttings..hope this works hah

Will start bloom nutes next watering

Might have to fix some light leaks

Had some major stretch occur (Reason why I'm worried shes a man!)

Last sitting and waiting for signs of he/she


Wish me luck friends and Thanks for reading :rastasmoke:

Sending good vibes your way for a female :jointsmile: :jointsmile: :jointsmile:

Good luck I'll pull up a chair and hang for a while :)

[deleafer2220]

Much appreciated BD need all the good vibrations i can get :thumbsup:

[Hocmat]

Looking good ;) I just topped my plant, and i'm unsure of the turnout :\ Good luck with a female! My last plant was a male D: Sucks cutting a plant down with no bud.

[deleafer2220]

If she turns out male I was wondering if you could still make some hash out of it or not...I could have swore I saw a log for it once.

[dustoxx420]

is only good for breeding rather than consumption, male pollen is sometimes gold; when you breed, cuz u an get 300 seeds and be set for life. Consumption of male pollen is not my cup of tea.

Sorry to hear about your "he".

Try to get a hold of some feminised seeds if you ever get the chance, they are golden 100% female :thumbsup:

surely you will be starting some more seeds though, right?


I'll still be here :cool:
