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!

greenatik, thanks for stopping by, my friend! It's darn good to see you in the MIQ log. I hope I will have some PPP soon, but boutique shipped my beans back on the 10th of June, and I still have not seen them. I'm really beginning to think they have been hijacked!

As for MIQ maturing fast, I don't know about that. She is an autoflowerer, but seems to have really slowed down on the flowering since I lst'ed her - her new veg development should prove for more bud though, so I am happy she has decided to take a bit longer to finish; luckily I don't need bud, so I can hold off for as long as it takes her.

Like you, D9 lit a fire under me to get a loupe and experiment with some pictures. I'd really like to see MIQ's trichs under magnification though, just to reassure myself they are developing nicely.

Have a great weekend, greenatik, and thanks again for stopping by!

(really high right now)

jake, I don't think the lst-ing would slow down flowering at all. i would keep it tied down to receive maximum light. yours seems to be frosting up quicker then mine did... but she is called MIQ. :D 10 days ago I couldn't see trichs noticeably in person without zoomed in on my camera's macro setting

oh and I found a strong magnifying glass. im going to see if i can get some shots later tonight when the light flips :D Cant wait because I was pruning some leaves last night and started to see purple hues on the lower buds. going to try and turn down the temps to 65 at night to bring out the lavender.

and I am sorry to hear about seed boutique rippin ya... thats really unforunate :( I have been hearing about a lot of that lately which is why I have never tried the online deal. but hey they still might come, did you contact them about it? one day Ill give it a go because the strain selection is awesome, PPP :food10:

anyways jake, i hope you have a good weekend too, and the weather looks nice where your at. :thumbsup:

Jakezking,

You are doing a wonderful job:), those are some very healthy looking babies and you are doing a wonderful job with the LST'ing.

I don't see anything I can add, just keep up the good work.

greenatik, I appreciate the insight into the lst'ing. I thought since I had lst'ed her so late in flowering allowing the bottom leaves to get more light, it caused her to go into a re-veg state, as the lower leaves/stems really began to bush out and are not budding. The slow down in flowering may be attributable to a lot of rain here recently, which has been following my application of flowering nutes, probably serving to flush MIQ pretty well. I don't know any of this for certain - just putting together some hypotheses (but, too lazy to test them).

I have a magnifying glass too - will have to see if it helps me to see the trichs better. I'd still like that loupe to be able to take some pictures, but it may be possible with the magnifying glass - never know til we try, eh?

As for the boutique, I sent them an email, but then went to the website and read where they will not reply to a status email until the order is 21 days old, so I have a few more days. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed the beans will arrive.

Thanks for looking in on me again, my friend! As this is my first real grow, I need all of the insight, advice, and encouragement I can get. I look forward to watching your ladies grow up as well. I will be by your log again soon - I'm going out of town today, so maybe later tonight after a few bat hits. Aloha!

JG, your presence within my log is much appreciated. The more "hoorahs" I get from you guys and gals with the experienced green thumbs, the better I feel about how I am doing. It's one thing to see it with my own eyes, but since it's my first grow, I don't have much personally to compare it to - other than my viewing and reading logs on this board.

I will drop back by your log to check on your blue beauties - hopefully tonight! I wish you well, and hope you have a great day, my friend!

hey jake, i'm fairly new here as well but I see your MIQ is doing quite well and I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner but doing my own research on strains and methods has kept me busy. From the looks of things and reading the full log, you're correct and the flowering stage slowed just a bit from the lst but will def benefit with more bud, and honestly, who wouldn't want that :jointsmile:. I'll most def keep an eye out for the pre-harvest/post-harvest pics.

keep up the good work and i'm sure this first time, successful, grow will not be your last. look forward to seeing some more of your efforts prevail.

-good morning

Mr.GoodMorning02, I appreciate you stopping by for a spell, my friend! I appreciate your comments and for substantiating the flowering slow down - that's what it looked like to me. I agree, I don't mind the slow down as long as there are additional buds at the end, which it looks like there will be! I look forward to providing you and everyone else pre and post harvest pics. I've got a while to go, and it's really going to be hard to keep from jumping on MIQ when her buds get bigger!

Take good care out there, and thanks again for stopping by! Feel free to come by at any point in time, and if you have any questions/comments, please leave them.

hey jake i have read thru your log i wanna say great job and she look:clap::dance:s awesome

Hi,

Great log and a nice looking little lady. I have had stunted plants from time to time. On my last grow I had three Swiss Miss girls all started at the same time treated identically two grew to 5' while the third barely made 2. I also had a stunted White Widow...go figure.

I've ordered twice with Seed Boutique and both orders were here in 10 days. It may not be their fault your order could have been intercepted....

I was going to mention this in my next reply, but will elaborate now since it has come up. I agree, and think if you still haven't received them, more than likely it wasn't the shop, but they were interdicted (not cool). I have never had any problems with them, or any shop I have dealt with for that matter, and would be more worried about Customs... I have had customs interdict a CIV substance and got a "love letter" from them about importation blah blah etc, but it was CIV and I had authorization to have it (though I never told customs, I just let them keep it). I don't know what they would do with seeds since they are CI. Anyway, hopefully you see them soon! I'll be back probably tomorrow to check on the log, as well as update my own. Happy and safe gardening, all!

Good luck with your bean order. I guess that just happens sometimes. Your plant, she is doing really fine, man. Good job with the journal too.
