Settle down crybaby.

First off, you never asked for any help, so how can we help you?...

It's not like we thought, "We'll pay attention to everyone except Machievelli, just to piss him off" You're not the only one here man, stop with the ego.

Your plant looks fine for 2 weeks.

Not like anyone's going to help you now though after that temper tantrum.

[Machievelli7]

ok well y then r someof the leaf tips turning a little yellow and some r beginning to curl not bad but they r.......also if i added superthrive at this point would they still benefit as much if i added it during veg?

[meloncoly]

nobody cares about you Machievelli7, just shut the fuck up

[mand]

Hello Machievelli7 :) yes there's buds coming all over her, shes got more time for growing yet so these will just keep multiplying ;)

The yellowing tips don't look anything to worry about, I'm not sure what the cause is though, I had a few on my last Summer grow and that was down to heat in the growroom.
Same with the curling leaves, I'm not sure what causes it but I've got a few with my present crop .........................oh dear I'm not much help am I :o


I can agree with Nochowderforyou, she is looking fine :)

Oh and don't worry about replies, they can be a little slow coming sometimes ;)


love mand xxx :)

[Mctuffet]

duechbag cry baby... tips turn yellow some times during flower becasue it neads more nutrients while in flower, you probly have a slight nitrogen deficiency. it's not a big deal. you don't nead to suplement with nutes unless you want. yes you should use superthrive it will help at all stages of your plants life.

and don't be a selfish bitch. you are pissed casue you didn't get help....??? people are doing you a favor to tell you what is wrong they don't have to do it. plus you never mentioned what was wrong with your plant in the post you simpley posted a pic of your plant. it is at an apropriat stage of flower but it's not a very nice looking plant, so instead of saying your plant looks OK they didn't say anyting.

[Machievelli7]

thank u mand for tryin to help

[BkSkillz]

damn bro i can tell by your plant and ur demenor that ur not very patient its only been a day since u posted alot of people have lives to attend so we cant be here to change your pamper all the time but yea plants looking nice but i wouldnt of induced flowering untill she was alil more branched out but looking good shes gonna hit the 2.5 foot mark by harvest unless someone looses there patience but also as the plants go through there life process the lower leaves will start being eaten up by the plant to build bud sites shouldnt b much of a problem for now otherwise it could be over fertilized and a nice flush could help theres alot of good links in the faq/plant problem/internet in general..otha then that good work so far and maybe you should try smoken some pot it could change ya life...

[Machievelli7]

thanks and yea i kno i induced flowring a lil early but thats because i have avery limited sized grow area....also this is apicture of a clone i took aftert topping the mother plant...both r next to eachother in the same area and bnoth look to be around the same quality, however i heard that the clone will produce bigger buds, is this true??? and thank u for helping me out once again i need all the advice i could get

[Nochowderforyou]

I wouldn't worry too much about the yellowing tips unless it becomes more severe.

No, in my opinion, clones do not produce bigger buds, or more yeild. I find starting from seed, the plant is much bigger, and stronger, in all aspects. Stronger stems, nice big, solid buds, but starting from clones has it's upsides as well. Like, if you take a clone from a female mother plant, you know that it's a female, no worries, plus you cut down on time using clones, a few weeks at the most usually.

Both have their pros and cons. If you are growing for sale, I would def. clip clones and grow as much as you can, in the shortest amount of time, but if you're a personal grower, like me, then I have that time, and patience, to grow a beautiful, robust, plant.

Peace

[Machievelli7]

thanks nochowderforu.....but at this point isnt it to late to clone it nemore?? after begins i thought u couldnt take clones??? is this true, if not im goin to take a lot mor eoff both plants.

[amstron]

you can take clones off a flowering plant, it just takes longer to root as it has to revert back to veg

[Machievelli7]

good news, i think im gonna try to clone the clone now that i kno this new info. ill try to post more updated pics soon.......

[amstron]

an apology to everyone would be nice first

[Powder Puff]

This guy shouldn't even get any help..!

I don't get all the replies in the world, and I don't go yelling at everyone right away! Sure it's annoying, but people don't sit here all of the time! We need to attend to our lives first!:p

And the first thing this guy should do, is saying : "sorry everyone! I know I am a little prick! Am I excused?"

[Machievelli7]

SORRY!!!! PLEASE KEEP HELPING ME OUT!!

[amstron]

there thats better, but i wouldnt mind hearing the "im a little prick" bit aswell lol. anyway lets not dwell, you seem to be doing okay, its not an amazing plant but id like to see some more pics, what kind of advice do you want, youve got to be specific if you want help, duh!! oh hows the cloning going

[cnd411]

ok well y then r someof the leaf tips turning a little yellow and some r beginning to curl not bad but they r.......also if i added superthrive at this point would they still benefit as much if i added it during veg?

The first couple weeks of 12/12, Leaf tips turning a litle yellow and leaves begin to curl is a normal sign of initial flowering cycle. Don't worry! That is normal.

[Machievelli7]

im gonna try to get some more pics up tonight, the plant i poted is the clone, and i havent cloned em again yet, i dont think i can since im gonna be around em for like 2 and half weeks. Is it, when harvest time comes, to leave some of the smaller bottom nugs and try to reveg it? Maybe give it a quick nitroge injection? i cant clone but i want this same plant again

[Machievelli7]

hey, sorry couldnt get ahold of a digital camera, ill try to soon but thwta is the best fert mix to her as of now? what will prduce the fattest buds and im switching a 150 hps tonight finally!

[Psycho4Bud]

I use Peters 10-50-10 1/4 strength with an adder of epson salt. Good luck!! :thumbsup:

[Machievelli7]

thankx i may go pick that up today, and i still ahve a major problem!!! i wont be around my girls for almost 3 weeks!!!! how can i water them while i am away??? I DONT WANT THEM TO DIE!!! PLEASE HELP!!

[Powder Puff]

Prick!:) No, we have come over that bit now!:)

You should soak her with water, raise the light's and leave! When you get back, soak her again, and lower the light's!:) Then you will have to hope for the best!:)

Or, you could get a friend to take care of it for you? :)

What ever you do, good luck!:)

[Machievelli7]

damn i hate the thought of leavin her dry for that long, im scared! o well ill give it a try, pray for me!

[Powder Puff]

Don't you have a friend, if you hate not watering her? It is VERY risky, not to water for a whole three weeks...!

[mand]

Hello M :) Three weeks without water really is a no no, I'm affraid I don't know how to get around that problem but I found this thread .....................don't know if it's of any use to you :o

[Machievelli7]

mand thank u so much!! im gonna og to the local nursery where i buy all my nutes from and see if the have those gel spikes or those cones that feed water from a bucket......and no i dont have ne friends that will be up here either, all of us college kids r goin home for christmas break

[Powder Puff]

Oh, I didn't get that you were a college kid!:p

[Machievelli7]

good news!!! i went to the local nursery and i found some automatic watering drip systems that stick in the soil with a 2 liter soda bottle attached to it!! it says it will water for up to three weeks on one full bottle os lets hope for the best!!!!

[Machievelli7]

finally got some pics for an udate the single cola bush is the clone and the dual cola plant is the mother, began flowering 11/22 and just recently swutched them to a shed about 24x18x70 and have a 150 hps How they lookin???

[Fugitive]

I think they look great :) what strain are they ? youre lucky that you can get 150W HPS in US if they had them here I would buy one. Do you plan on using nutrients? or are you already using nutes?

[Starchild]

Burns sage throughout the board

[Machievelli7]

yea im using a 8-10-6 hi-yeild tomato plant fert and peters super blossom booster about twice a week at half strength, i just used a combo of them both to see what happenes while im away but the strain i dont kno, just from an 1/8th of really good tasting and smelling bud......cant wait i think maybe another 6 weeks left

[Fugitive]

Starchild you got S.A.G.E? whats that stuff like? good? and I sincerely hope your plant makes it dude.. it will be a nerwrecking christmas for both of us lol.

[Machievelli7]

i kno right?? and these r supposed to be happy carefree times!!!! wtf!!! lol im pullin for u to fugitive and did u check out those things i was talkin about??? it will let me breathe much easier

[Machievelli7]

[mand]

Hello M :) I think you're thread is here love ;)

I was reading the other one and thought it looks a bit shorter :o ;)


love mand xxx :)

[Machievelli7]

good news!!! my girls r still aliove even though i've been away fromt hem for over 2 weeks without water. looks like the atering system i found orks like a charm ill get some pics up this weekend i hope!!!

[harmonicminor]

hey Machievelli7 want bigger buds???? tie your braches down so they are more horizontal and each node will shoot buds straight up. this will also let more light to the bottom and increase overall yield.

[Conky]

looking good.

[Powder Puff]

It's called LST, and if you want to learn more about it, there is a thread somewhere in the Indoor forum by HARDDON, that you should read!:)

[mand]

Hello M :) I was wondering how you're plants were going on.

Pleased to hear the watering "thingy" worked ;)



love mand xxx :)

[Machievelli7]

lol thanks mand and yea i might give LST a try but when i get back, i'm still away from my girls but my roomate is the one who checked them. I am going back up soon so ill try to bend the main colas to increase yeild and ill post some pics of the atrering spikes i used to help ne one with the same problem i had since it worked so well

[Machievelli7]

just an update i finally got some more pitures, these r the girls at about 6 weeks flowerng the smell is out f this world one of the best aromas i've ever come across almost coffee like, how long do u think i should wait till harvest?? i am extremely pleased with these results since this is my actul first time grow from a seed......n comments or suggesstions would be great and thank u all for helping e along the way, im about to start 4 or 5 more seeds for my next crop

[Sativagrowin]

Your plants are probably NOT going to make it for 3 weeks without water. Especially while flowering. Even if you make the dirt like quicksand before you leave. Sorry bro but you need to find a way to get her water or I'm afraid she'll be brown and dry by the time you get back. You could try taking a bucket or 3 liter bottle and making a slow drip system for your plants. That's what I would do. You could use aquarium air line tubing and the gang valve for the airlines in aquariums. Run one hose to each plant base and open it up so only a drip is coming out every few seconds. You would have to seal the lines to the bottom of the bucket or bottle very well and make sure you have a big enough resevior to last for 3 weeks.

You run the risk of your seal not holding and water running all over the place but If you placed a bigger bucket right below it you could minimize the risk. Also, this should be obvious, but the resevior needs to be higher then the lines to the plant.

This may not work (lines get clogged, etc) but at least this way theyll have a chance.

[Sativagrowin]

I am really high and didn't read the end posts. LOL anyways lookin good and good luck.


'feelin like a stoned idiot'

lol

[Machievelli7]

hahahaha its cool sativagrowin........i did have a watering system and this is what i came back to!

[Machievelli7]

so what do u guys think???????????

[LOC NAR1958]

They are looking very good and trichomes are just about there. Go to radioshack and get a hand held microscope 10 bucks. The white crystals ( trichomes) are turning from clear to cloudy. When they pass cloudy they turn amber. When mostly all are cloudy it's time. That is peak the rest will turn during drying. If you let them go into amber they are past prime but stoneyer. However the stone doesn''t last as long. It's a choice of just a little stoneyer or how long it last. Amber starts to break down into canabanoides which gives a different type of buzz. They look sweet, good luck. Let us know when there dry and we'll be there to test some. LOL. I'll bring some of mine for you to test.

[Machievelli7]

thank loc nar.......yea i fiure about 2 weeks at most for em......cant wait!!!

[mand]

Hello M :) , They are looking very nice, I can't fault them ;)


Lovely job M :)



love mand xxx :)

[amstron]

hey man you started 12/12 the exact same date as me, after your little tantrum at the start you seem like an alright guy, good luck on the rest of the grow. We'll probably be harvesting at similar times too. What would you like or think that you will yield, nice buds

[amstron]

o, by the way, your using plain water now and not any ferts right?

[Machievelli7]

yea the, i am starting to flush tem now and as for yeild, i would LOVE to see 2 ounces but thats bein very optimistic, maybe an ounce or so, at this point i am just so happy that they survived the drouhgt and am so pleased with how they are coming along that yeild isn't really a big deal to me ne more, i've learned so much over the past couple months thanks to eveyone on these boards, thank u all for ur help!!

[Machievelli7]

i took a small nug about 3 days ago.......bout to toke it up and see what i got......can't wait!!

[Fugitive]

Those look great ! :) bastard ;) judging by the pics I don't think 2 ounces is optimistic at all.

[Machievelli7]

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tasted amazing, the ferts were stil in it a lil but no worries they've been flushing for over a week now.........CANT WAIT FOR THE FINAL PRODUCT!!

[Machievelli7]

i just harvested yesterday...............i have pics and will post them later.......thank u all for ur help and happy tokin!!

[Powder Puff]

Cool!:D

Have you weighed them wet?:)

How much are you expecting when dry?:)
