here is the plant that is next to the biggest plant, that are all in the ground. it is just starting to bud, but has been growing faster and faster every day.
this is the smallest of all the plants. when i put it into the ground, it didnt adjust as well as the others, so it was basically sitting there, not growing at all for about 2.5 weeks. it has shown female, but has barely begun to grow any buds at all. this is basically the runt of the group, and i am not expecting very much from this one at all. i basically just want to keep growing it, because it has three main stems, so i want to see what ends up happening with that.
here are bud shots of my biggest plant.:hippy:
enjoy and i hope you liked my update,

hell yah they all look great. nice bud shots.:thumbsup:
so i decided to try out taking some pictures at night. even though the buds are much more visible, every time i took a picture, i felt like i was doing a terrible thing to my baby by using the flash. so without a doubt, that will be the only night shoot i will do for these plants.
this plant went into flowering the week of August 15th, so that would mean it is going into week 3 of flowering(i think + or - a few days). so im guessing about another 4-5 weeks to go. so this should be the time they really starts putting on some weight....hopefully
1st picture: wide shot of the biggest plant
2-5: the main cola of the biggest plant
enjoy these nice shots, and i will update tomorrow with some pictures during the day

its been a few days since the last update (besides last nights), so i decided to take a few more pictures for all ya'll.
just a quick picture update. these are random bud spots of the biggest plant
more bud pics from the biggest plant. all 5 pictures are of the main cola
enjoy,
gianca
:rastasmoke::weedpoke::rastasmoke::weedpoke:
looks like UR gunna have some very very bling bling buds.:thumbsup:
Great looking shots of your girls. Try going out in the late evening and taking a few with a flash...i get real nice pics that way. Since we are growing outside in nature, i dont think the light is so critical as it is when you grow inside. The moon around here is sometimes as bright as a streetlight.
Those buds look like they are gonna turn into long kola's. EXcelent....for You. :hippy:
thanks for stopping by inbud. i'll try out taking pictures just as the sun goes down. seems like a good idea, by not freaking out the plant with a sudden very bright flash in the middle of the night, when it is the darkest. where my plants are, they are in complete darkness, with absolutely no light shining in at all, so i think they would be just as sensitive as indoor plants to light during the night. your plants are lookng great by the way inbud! hope you have a successful and satisfying harvest.

Those are good looking plants. very good genetics.
thanks! i got the seeds from a club in San Francisco. they get their seeds from a guy who specialized in Northern Lights Crosses, and they had over 30 different crosses of the NL.Quote:

couldn't resist taking more pictures today, so here they are. they are really starting to look good now!!
more pictures in another post...
and now the real money shots! i cant wait for it to be the end of the month, and take these same pictures again to compare difference in size! :hippy:

quick question:
every day when i go out to water the plants, i notice spider webs around the plants. is this going to be a problem? seems like the spiders would help eat other bugs, but i wasnt sure if it is going to be harmful to the plant. anyone have advice on this?
gianca
:rastasmoke::weedpoke:rastasmoke::weedpoke:
Great looking shots of the Girls.....I personally love real spiders in my plants. Means they are eating any unwanted bugs. The kind of spider you have to worry about is SPIDER MITE, and i am sure you dont have them by looking at those gorgeous leaves on your buds.
Side Question...I live way north of SF, but go there a few times a year. Never been to a "club" there. But would be interested in buying seeds at one. I have heard Humbolt despencerys have them but have never been able to find one that does. (i dont live in Humbolt Co.) So, if you dont feel uncomfortable telling me, where can i find a club that has seeds in SF? (i am a medical recomendation grower) If you feel uncomfortable telling me, i understand. No problem. Thanks anyway.
Nice plants Gianca. They look beautiful and should fill in nicely.
Don't worry about the spiders. They are doing exactly what you thought, eating other insects.
I even have some spider mites on some outdoor and they don't do too much damage because the cold nights and the other bugs regulate them.
Nice growing.
hey again inbud! so are you a medical user? or registered as a grower with a permit to sell as well? i have been trying to find the informaiton so i can get a sellers permit so i can supply to the local dispensaries, but have had no luck so far.
i know of a few dispensaries in SF that sell quality seeds, and i hope it is not against the site rules to post this information :eek:
i will post the name, but just look it up on yelp or something to find the address.
for sensi seeds, there is a club called grass roots clinic. i think they are $80 for a pack of ten.
where i got my Northern Lights seeds and where they also have DJ Short seeds available at a dispensary named CannaMed Care (CMC). the wide variety of Northern Lights Crosses they have are available for only $14 for a pack of ten, and the DJ Short packs of ten are sold for (i think) $150.
my best advice for this would be to sign up for weed tracker dot com where they have all the clubs throughout all of Northern and Southern California and forums for people to discuss what they have on the menu at the time, including clones, hash, seeds, edibles, ect.
hope this helps,
gianca

im pretty sure these are eggs of some kind. ive been noticing batches all over the place, and i usually pick them off when i see them. anyone know what would lay eggs like these? they are fairly small, but i have seen some that are a little bigger also.
and the second one is my favorite picture from today. haha, i cant help taking pictures. let me know if you want me to post more from today.

here is a better picture of a batch of what i think are eggs. any clarification on this would be much appreciated!
plus a little update for today
pictures as follows:
1- eggs of somethin. looks like they are being held together with some kind of web.
2- my topped plant, you are able to see all the branches and budspots. looks like this one will yield a good amount (hopefully)
3- the top half of the biggest plant. you are able to see all the buds very clearly
4- a nice bud that looks like its coated in sugar :stoned:
5- the main cola of the biggest plant. i cant wait for this plant to really start putting on some weight.
hope you enjoyed

Ah dunno.
Might be cabbage moths.
I'd just keep removing them.
Once flowering, Cannabis has the means to defend
it'self.
But we can all use a little help , so check 'em every day.
Nice camera.
Weezard.
ive been picking them off whenever i see them, and will continue to do so. i have also been noticing a bunch of little tiny white fly looking things around the plants. is this a common fly attracted to cannabis?
i just looked back in the log, and an update on August 10th said they were fully flowering. so this would mean they started maybe sometime between Aug. 7-10, so they are in week 4, almost 5.
i was also wondering if the browning of the hairs this early is normal. its been pretty hot lately, so i just wasn't sure if this is because of the heat, or just the normal life cycle.
ya weezard, i really am happy with this camera! im using a Sony DSLR-A100, and am hoping to get a better MACRO lens to get some shots of the trichomes up close and personal.
any advice on the white fly things, or the browning hairs would be appreciated!

Next time you go out, give each girl a little shake.
If you get a cloud of the buggers, that's trouble.
They usually show up when there are yellowing leafs.
And are attracted by the color
That's why those sticky yellow fly-paper traps work so well on 'em.
It's a little late in the game for pesticides, so just keep 'em healthy and they're less likely to attract pests and better able to repair and resist damage.
And the browning of the pistils is normal.
They still have weeks before they are prime.
Keep an eye on the trichomes and a nose for their scent.
You've got a fine grow so far.:cool:
Aloha,
Weezard
Thanks for the info on the seeds. I really appreciate it. I am a medical grower and grow for my own consumption right now. And didnt even know you could be a grower for sales (to clubs). I do so enjoy it, maybe i should look into that aspect of growing. I will check into that site you mentioned too, weed tracker.
And of course your girls look great. I would also say you have four or more weeks to harvest, prolly closer to six. I give mine eight weeks before i stop giving them nutes, then i watch those trichs real close. I have browning pistles too now. Gives the bud a nice contrast color i think. I even noticed yesterday some pistles turning pink! Am gonna try to get a close up of that soon.
Again, thanks a lot.
i have been giving them a little shake for the past couple weeks. but i only notice one or two of these little things at a time, so it seems like mother nature is keeping them in check.Quote:

no problem. any certain seeds your thinking of growing or from a certain breeder? my next order is probably going to be some Querkle from Subcool TGAQuote:

ive set my window to Sept. 28th - Octob. 4th. I think that is a fair time, but will for sure be checking trichomes to make sure.
anyone want a picture update today?

We no get tired of 'em.
I keep an albumn of daily CU shots.
The magnification let's me spot trouble early enough to "head it off at the pass".
And the dates let me compare progress to past and future crops.
Add some comments to each pic and you have a useful grow-journal.

here re a couple more pictures, but to me, this bud looks a little weird. the hairs aren't as long as the other buds, and they look to have a colored dot on the end of them. any thought on this?
Probably just her type.
The trichome population has got me droolin'.
She looks healthy to me, but run it by Stinky Attic for an opinion with weight.
You Go girls!:thumbsup: - Uncle Weeze
They're looking gorgeous. I dunno what the deal is with the funky pistils on the one plant, but it still looks good to me!
Rock on :)
If you want a bigger yield try putting them in a 10 gallon grow bag. There cheap and its fairly easy to do. Flora Nova is amazing.. Also try Kool Bloom just make sure you flush really good so you dont have a chemy tast and uneven smoke.
they R looken yummy to my tummy. can U say bling bling.
wow! i went outside today to do the daily watering, and the buds look like they have a coat of glass on them! so many crystals already. i cant wait to see what shes going to look like when shes done :hippy::hippy:
i saw this bug about ten minutes ago when i went out to take pictures. i think its the same bug as before, just grown up a little. anyone know if the is is a good or bad bug?
1st and 2nd picture- picture taken ten minutes ago
3rd picture- what i think is the same bug, just younger. this picture was taken on August 13th.
any help?
thanks,
