measured her tallest cola today.. 39 inches in height.the temp is at 76. ph 6. res temp is 73. everything looks ok except...
humidity--60%. i'm really freaking out about this. it would totally suck to have the buds rot.. it fluctuates from 56 to 60% humidity in the environment.. not sure if i'm just overreacting.more pics coming sometime this weekend..

a few more pics for you all.. comments/advice would be appreciated. how many more weeks do you all think she's got left??

Bro, Look's Like she Is Coming Along Good, Might have Alittle Heat Stress, But What Don't Right Now, EH!!!

My 2cent's On How Long, 5 to 6 More Week's, Easy!!........Best of Luck!!!:rastasmoke::rastasmoke::rastasmoke::rastas moke::rastasmoke:

I am posting up some more pics. I'm not sure if everything is normal. Maybe it's just the strain, like SNS said, but it just seems like she's taking an awfully long time to flower according to what I've been reading. How much longer do you guys think she has left to go?
Any additional comments or suggestions would be appreciated!
:rastasmoke::rastasmoke::rastasmoke:

Wow, in the last photo I'm seeing some amber so hopefully soon??....

what strain is it again? you got at least 2 more weeks....IMHO
whiskeytango

looks real bad ass now.:thumbsup:

also I would not harvest untill all the hairs turn brown and the trich have turned milky white and or amber.


I have grown a good amount of sativas in my time and yes they do seem to alwase take for ever to finish flowering. but I think its all worth it in the end.
and most of all buds I have grown, grew there bigest in the last 2-3 weeks of flowering.

and I love the hight of the sativa a bit more than what the indica gives off.


well good luck with ur grow.:D

Hey man, you said earlier that the strain looks like a Mexican sativa, and that those sativas had painfully long flowering periods. looks like you were right on the money dude!

Lookin great, WOW 90days into flower. Has the humidity caused any probs. It seems you had a pretty smooth grow(no talk of problems in thread). I don't understand why you had to transplant in hydro. Aren't the roots just hanging out of the netpot? I know Hatch grows in 2" pots till harvest.:dance::bong:

Hey everyone. Posting latest pics. I'm going to change the nutes to just plain water, let her sit for two weeks, and then harvest.
She has been filling out a little bit it seems the last few weeks. I am very happy with how she looks especially considering this is an LED light, not a HPS or MH.. i just want to save on electricity and cooling costs/noise..
To answer an earlier question, i don't seem to be running into any humidity trouble.. (knock on wood)
This girl had to be transplanted because there were a a dude growing in the same pot before.. I stupidly tried to clump them together in the same pot while they were still young, but then I was too lazy to pull the dude out until I knew for sure it was a male.
Any comments? Suggestions? Any neat tricks to increase the THC level in the last two weeks? I hope i'm not making any major mistakes here, but please feel free to let me knwo if i'm doing something incorrect! this has been an awesome experiment. thanks for the advice everyone--i really just hope she smokes ok. time to light up. :rastasmoke:

Good shit man! might be a lil over 2 weeks though...

Just found this threat and damn fine job you did for a first grow!!! I am also excited to see the procyon work so well. Since this is your first grow and it is more of an experiment anyway, you might want to try harvesting a little at a time as the buds mature. Take the top buds first then let the bottom buds ripen up for another week or two or three whatever it takes. Just a suggestion though. Looking good!!!

Do you think I can get away with feeding her just PH-adjusted water for the rest of the time she has? I'm concerned about taste/harshness of smoking nutes.. don't want to harvest her too soon. What do you think?

Stinkyattic, can you please move this thread to the Grow Log board? It would be veeehry naaaiice!

you will be fine with just ph water...I sometimes go over two weeks...I like a good flush, nice tasting nug as well....Ill sacrifice a lil yield to do that...
whiskeytango

Guys I have been seeing some more yellowing since I switched to pure water.. I *think* this is normal but I'm not sure.. Any thoughts?

Thats the plant naturally dying. You want that. pics?
whiskeytango

posting more pics. thanks for all the advice guys!!!

yur plant mighjt be in flower for too long bre careful o r you will get seeds because the plant can go herm if u flower it too long to try to survive

lets see some new pix.

Hope this doesn't sound rude, but remind me never to grow a sativa with LEDs. LOL. :D

it's cool, let me know if she looks bad--this is my first grow so it's definitely all been a learning experience

you shoulda cut her at day 60

buddabusa - No. Just no. lol

RightWay - Looks good, dude. Last week Stealth said 2 weeks, but I'm thinking two weeks from now. I'm just sayin' because it looks like she's still putting out new white pistils. Enough speculation though, go to radioshack -> buy a pocket 60x - 100x microscope -> See for yourself if they're done. :thumbsup:

I agree 100%. check those trichs to see if they are done.

...day 60 lol. plants dont have calenders budda:thumbsup:

db:smokin:

ahh! so i did what you guys said and checked out the trichs using a microscope. looked at the tops, the very top of them have moslty clear trichs. as i continued to look farther dwn the colas the trichs turned more and more milky.

around the middle of the plant there were more clusters of amber-headed trichs.

because i am kind of in a stealth situation at the moment, i think i'm gonna chop her up tomorrow. i can't chop only some of her off--it has to be all of her or none of her:(

if any of you guys think this is a totally bad move, please let me know. but the biggest parts of the biggest colas (not including the very tops) right now have milky trichs. i think this means i have to pull the trigger because of the situation im in.

thanks for all the help guys and i'd appreciate any additional tips or comments. ill continue posting throughout to give you guys accurate yield numbers once it's all dried out.

i think i could have done this better as i made some stupid mistakes, but woreking with an unknown strain as a noob prolly didn't help my yield lol. anyway im just looking for some good smoke so yield isn't THAT concerning to me :rastasmoke:

Sativas are difficult indoors no matter what.
Yours are showing a symptom that could be heat, light leaks, N overfert, insufficient air flow, or a combination.
However, you have achieved your first harvest, so congratulations.
Harvest when you no longer see clear trichs, if time is an issue. IMHO, that's the very earliest to chop when you are in a time crunch. Clear trichs are going to give you too much raciness and a crash, especially with a sat.
Buddabusa... wtf man... lol 60 days on a sat? Please be certain your advice is correct if you're going to be giving it so confidently....

How's about an update - still under the lights or did you pull the plug already?

Added this thread to my current LED research list, very nice.

Please share your curing method with us. This has been a nice thread and hats off to you for going with LED's, first gro. I anticipate the same!

Appreciate your sharing! pr :rastasmoke:

I dont know, but id imagine hes busy with whatever is making him cut early:(
or hes blitzed...lol

give us a shout when you can rightway and please take pictures. one of my regrets at the end of our last is we didnt get enough finish on plant pics.

Hey everyone. I know i'm bringing this thread back from the dead but I never got to post my final pics or anything.

I figured I could add to the growing body of LED research by posting my results.

The tree yielded 2 ounces after it was all said and done.

This didn't seem like much, but the quality of the herb, especially considering the tree grew from a crappy reg seed, was remarkable. And it did NOT stink. Strangely, it smelled sort of sweet, and it burned extremely smoothly. I can't say I've had weed like it before, at least not weed that tasted so good.

It was very potent, a very sativa-like headrush type high, and I smoked all of it in a couple of months. Still, despite the relatively low yield, I think the experiment was a resounding success.

Some of the mistakes I know I made:

1. Planting a sativa tree indoors was pretty tough to manage in my small cabinet.

2. I did not have NEARLY enough airflow.

3. I had some root rot in my grow, and I transplanted this tree from soil to hydro about 20 days into its veg stage. I doubt that helped.

4. I dropped the plant on its side once while changing the water. Oops.

5. I didn't change the water frequently enough, and my PH levels were pretty bad for a couple of the water changes I did perform.

6. I didn't finish painting my growcabinet all white; I pretty much half-assed it. Laziness :-/

7. Not knowing which specific strain I was growing really screwed me up when it comes to having an ideal nutrient recipe.

I'm posting pics of the herb that was harvested. It really looked weird, but it smoked amazingly.

Considering all the unknowns and variables you dealt
with Id say your grow was a big success! Be proud
learn from it and continue growing (well)!:smokin:

Nice thread. Got a 1st indoor grow w/ a procyon 100 myself. Check out the log.
