My plant..

nice plant kush, looks really happy. u did all that with the flourecent and 150 W floodlight from home depot, brilliant, the 24, 12/12, 11/13, 10/14 looks like it has great results, do you use mylar? whats the temp in the grow space during the day?

Thank you, I try.

LoL. Yes, I did all that with under 100 watts of fluorescents for vegetative. Right now, at the moment, it's under the HPS.

I don't use mylar. I prefer flat white paint, easier for me to deal with. The grow box temperatures I let get up to around 85 degrees with the lights on, and about 73 degrees with them off. Since she's a sativa dominant, probably of the Mexican / Central American variety, it's best to assume that'd be the best temperature for her.

keep up the good work, nice job

I'm loving this grow keep up with the updates

Well, I know I'm about a week late on this one.

The plant has grown a lot, but it was more of a combination of it stretching at the internodes and just the plant generally producing a couple more nodes, which I don't think it's really doing anymore of. The reason I say this is because the pre-flowering -- or I should say blooming -- has kicked in a bit more.

Thank you, Mobay and BukDatAss, I'll keep you as well as everyone else updated on this thread. Hopefully with it producing as many bracts -- and pistils from them -- it'll start to fill out more.

All right, I guess I'll toss a couple more pictures up here. Same bit as always, except no ruler because you can use the first pictures to compare it to now -- has gotten big. Also note the tiny, blurry ass white heads on each growth stalk. I'm pretty sure everyone knows what that means.

Hello Kush :) well she is looking rather good, It's going to be nice to see all the stems when in full bud :)

You know I really have got to try multiple pinching one of these days, mind you not with the present grow :o ........................ maybe the next one ;)


Lovely job Kush ......................................... love mand xxx:)

Well thank you, Mand. :)

I know I haven't been updating lately, and I realize I should. Probably won't put anymore pictures up here until I can figure out exactly why this camera is taking such blurry pictures.

Must be old since I can't recall purchasing it. LMAO

Well, I can honestly say she hasn't grown vertically much since the last series of photo, but horizontal growth is a completely different story altogether. I separated the shoots a week ago, and this week more branching shot up from the 'SCRoG' level and off the sides of the shoots at their nodes, each topped with two nodes of their own and a ball of white -- and now RED -- hairs on top. Well, not all of them are red, some of them are orange.

I'm expecting a flowering time that could take as long as a 'pure' Haze plant, but I'm hoping not. Really, really hope not. :(

Anyway. Every thing's going fine with her, a few more burn spots at the immediate tops on some leaves where she had a run in with the light more recently but nothing stopping her.

Damn Kush your plant is one of the sexiest i have ever seen. What kind of aroma do they have. I really like your experiment, it is very creative and welll seems to be perfect so far. much love.....NAssttyy

Well, hello everyone. How's everything going? I should have updated awhile back, but due to some circumstances I couldn't control I'm being forced to update now. Yes, forced to update.

It seems that I've run across a bit of a problem which I've managed to come to a few conclusions about. There's a bit of yellowing on a few of the of fan leaves, and it's not a localized problem such as just the newest growth or the oldest. The yellowing starts at the margins on some of the blades on the fan leaves, then gradually turns the yellowed area on the blade crisp. On some of the yellow areas on the fan leaves there's these dark spots [ necrotic lesions? ], but very few of them and only on about five fan leaves in a few uniform splotches between the yellowing 'bands'. Interesting facts regarding the fallen fan leaves is that only on the affected areas / blades is there slight purpling evident in the stem running through it to the tip -- not on all the fan leaves blades' stems, but only on the affected as I repeat.

Now, I originally suspected it was a pH problem when I decided to take a run off sample [ my testing crap is litmus paper. Yeah, yeah -- not entirely accurate, but it works. ]. The tests indicated a pH lower than what the strip could accurately pinpoint, so it was below 6.2, but I wasn't sure just how much. With that thought in mind I proceeded to flush the medium with ~8.5 pH'd tap water [ semi-soft ], and with the final half gallon of water draining I decided to test it's levels. The pH had risen to ~6.4 in the run off, the PPM of the water falling to just below 300 from somewhere above it. I'm hoping this solved the problem, but I'm willing to bet it may have been something else -- perhaps a lock-out, or a deficiency?

Another likelihood was that I was letting the heat get a bit high, but now that the heat issue's been resolved for about a week now with the yellowing problem seemingly persisting I can't help but feel that it wasn't the heat. Sure, there's minor bleaching on some of the upper most leaves nearest to the light that had a 'brush of death', but this doesn't explain the growth deeper in the canopy being afflicted.

Could it have been an excess of salts that I think [ hope ] I removed in the leeching, or something other? Mind you all I'm about a month and a few days into flowering. I'd like you to decide. Share your opinions, please. [ Pictures included ]

Here are some more, except of the plant itself. Should have gotten some overhead shots, but wasn't thinking. Sorry for the blurring.

As you all might see, the center shoots have been trimmed. I did this to solve the issue of them getting burned from stretching above the others and into the light. Hasn't effected the plant, stress wise.
