Nice little girl you have there! I wish I had the solitude to grow like that :thumbsup:
I have never heard of that strain before. Maybe it suggests it likes growing in colder climates? :stoned:

yah she looks real great.
Well, it appears MIQ went into a re-veg state from my lst'ing of her? The bottom-most sets of fan leaves/bud sites have really grown, reaching toward the sun now they are not being dominated by the main cola. You will notice the buds are really beginning to shoot up along with more nodes popping up. I am really impressed with the additional vegitative growth, as I was hoping for more bud to come off MIQ, since she is my only plant. Now she has bud locations from top to bottom, and I hope she will really begin to fill out. As she has been in flower for almost 7 weeks, I don't know how much longer she will go. I found a pretty good discussion of her strain - Mighty Freeze - on another board, so I will probably go back to try to discover the normal flowering time period. However, I will just keep an eye on her and probably allow her to develop a bit longer, since she seemed to re-veg.
I had thought about trimming some of her fan leaves back to allow more sun to reach the buds, but read on a post somewhere that such trimming seemed to stunt bud development, as it depleted the buds of their food stores.
Well, enough of the rambling and on with some new pictures. Even though these pictures are only 6 days past the last set posted, I was impressed with the growth on the bottom nodes/bud sites, so I thought I would share the effects of the late-in-the-day lst'ing. It seems like it is never too late to lst?
Enjoy the eye candy. I will post 1/2 of the pictures in this reply, and the other 1/2 immediately below.
Also, has anyone had a delivery from seed-boutique take longer than 17 days? My order shipped back on June 10, and I have yet to receive them, so I am getting a bit anxious. Any input on this subject will be appreciated.
Here are the rest of the pictures from above.
Thanks to Wert and hydro for your comments. I am following both of y'all's grows, so your comments are especially appreciated.
Enjoy, and everyone be good out there!
Beautiful healthy pot plants. Look great!
she looks beautiful as hell.
Shov, I appreciate your coming over for a spell, my friend! Kick back and relax by the pool from time to time. You must practice up for the 4th of July!Quote:

That is some outstanding work, beautiful pics there - everything seems to be coming right along quite nicely. Good to hear about the additional secondary growth away from the apical cola, that will greatly increase your yield. Indeed, cutting the fan leaves is not usually recommended. Instead, try to tuck them in toward the center of the plant, allowing your growing tips more light. This allows the plant to continue using those fan leaves to photosynthesize to some extent, as well as use nutrients which are stored in the leaves (which would be completely lost if cut). This is really just a slightly more technical way of saying what you already did, which was that the trimming would deplete some nutrient storage (as well as energy production). Due to the compact nature of growth (typical to indica strains), tucking in the fan leaves is a little harder than on a lanky sativa (most strains I tend to favor are sativa dominant), but it can still be done somewhat effectively. Once again though, impressive work!
Do you have a photo or jeweler's loupe? 10X is common, but some people like the 30X better, it is really personal preference. If not, you might look into getting one soon. Fairly decent jeweler's loupes are available relatively cheap online, and can be found on eBay for around $5 for a 10X compound (multi lense) jeweler's loupe. It would be fantastic to start seeing some close up shots of the trichomes as they begin to come around and eventually mature if you have the means. :thumbsup: All that is required is a decent camera (the one you have been using seems to work well) and a loupe, which can be held in front of the camera lense to get a close up shot of trichomes. :jointsmile:
Continued best of luck, and groove on! :smokin:
D9, I appreciate your input, as always! It's nice to have some confirmation that the train is still on the tracks. Thanks for the thumbs up on the grow - it means a lot coming from someone of your learned background and experience.Quote:

Thanks again for dropping by for a bit and reading over my musings and checking my pictures! Be good out there, my friend!
Jake, you lucky guy. I have been eyeballin PPP for some time now. Just haven't been able to locate it locally. Its' fat yields are enticing and of course exactly what I need :baggy:.
and your plant is looking awesome man, we will be harvesting around the same time I suppose :D I am at 44 days flower, but yours seems to be maturing faster!
Can't wait to see how everything turns out for ya, and D9 made me want to go out and get a loupe for some trich shots. we will have to share soon :jointsmile:
peace friend and grow safe!
