you plants look good so far but your going to need PH up using those nutes, any pet store carrys PH up in the aquarium section, its good idea to give your plants a good flush every 3 weeks or so during flower to rid of excess salts and other build up, when you flush use just plain water.

i am using the old water out of my fish tank to bring the ph up becouse my fish require a higher ph level. plus their are some great nutes in old fish water. with my nutes i have been mixing 1\4 tsp with 2 1/2 L of water. got my first big bottle gone. soon going to mix somemore. a little stronger this time i think. she is taking the nutes very well.

[attachment=o114269]this was taken at day 26 before adding nutes.
[attachment=o114270]this was taken at day 28 first day of adding 10-54-10.
[attachment=o114271]this was taken today day 30. the nutes are working and she loves them. i have not had any problems with over watering or over feeding yet. my only major problems were fucking up the light cycle causing her to flower after 20 days, and droping the light's on her and cracking her stem. aside from all that i should be ready to harvest in about 2 to 3 months, then 1 to 2 months of drying. i am going to add some pure grape extract to the plant in some water about 1 hour before i harvest so i get a nice grape flavor when i smoke.

i am going to see if i can get some closeup's of the forming colas.

i got some nice ones and some blurry ones. [attachment=o114272]

it is 1:42 pm here on sunday jan 21st and it is day 30 of my grow. i skipped the veg stage and went from seed to seedling to flower in 20 days. she is LST'ed. she stands 9 inch's at her highest tip. if not staightened she would stand 12 inch. her highest tip isnt the two tops it is the secondary branches just below the top 2.

I know how you feel about the cracked stem, I just sliced the top 3" off my Northern today, lol, I felt so bad man, especially be cause wel just switched to the flower room yesterday. Things are lookin good though. The first grow is a real learning experience I find. I haven't had any major fuck ups but I do have improvements to make for next time.

So if you get a good yeild this time think of how much better it'll be next time knowing what you know.

yeah i know eh. well i am hoping for a good yeild. i have 8 to 10 tips to get colas from.

so what does everyone think of the pics of my forming buds.

Looks good. I just started flowing so it's kinda cool to se someone a step aheadof me to know what to expect.
