Okay so heres some new pics! Everyone looks great, Tallest is 22" (dubbed first lady), smallest 13" (dubbed ugly bitch) <- i know not so creative, but she is rather ugly.
You can see the fly in pic #5, theyve been around since the plants were just babies, and i suppose they arent doing any harm so w/e.
Lemme know what u think! :hippy:
Okay ,so! After careful bandaging and taping my injured mommy is back on track! i figure she needs another week with the supports on her tip before i take them off, other than that shes back in action. So im still trying to figure out the indica/sativa'ness of the plants, im damn sure that only 2 have the same genetics, the other 4 are completely different. Ie. The plant in pic 4 seems like it doesnt want to branch out, unlike the others who are booming with bud sites.. Assuming that its going to take about 10 weeks to finish flowering, i figure they'll be done right in time for Xmas :jointsmile:
I've been using the fox farms lineup (Big Grow Big Bloom Tiger Bloom) and was wondering if anyone needed the support of nutes like Botanicare Sweet or molasses etc while flowering.
I planted some tomatoes and banana peppers as well earlier this week, they just sprouted and soon moving into my Gtent!
So i did my daily checkup on the garden this morning, the ladies are looking stellar calyxes are in the early stages of *fattening up* crowns are looking purty.
I found a couple males among the newborns, not even 3 weeks old and showing pods. So instead of my usual throwing of him in the trash, i thought it would be fun to watch my cats eat them, low and behold they love it! i could never get them to eat any other form of vegetable, but they sure do love fan leaves :thumbsup:
I was wondering if it would be ok to give fan leaves to my lizard's(bearded dragon's)but thought better not just in case, be careful your stoner cat's may get a taste for it and rip your grow,lol.
I had a sample from my plant and it was mostly leaves but very sticky (never bought weed this sticky before) been in flower for 63 days and still hoping calyx's will fill out , heard they fill out the last 2-3 weeks (fingers crossed).
Okay so now i feel bad today :( my cat got sick from eating the fan leaves, something obviously didnt sit right in their stomach. *probably the clorophyll in them*. The jokes on me cuz i had to cleanup the puke :wtf:
As far as bearded dragons go DMC thats your call, my friend has some leopard gecko's and a bearded dragon, fed them a fan leaf on top of crickets... Honestly, i think animals should stick to their diet, and let us humans be the test monkeys :stoned:
Today is feeding day and im adding 1tbsp of grandma's unsulfured molasses on top of 1 1/4 tsp Tiger bloom 1 tbsp big bloom per. gal. Im only going to be feeding them molasses once a week. I was noticing this morning a couple branches were going purple, a possible K deficiency, not really a big problem (the rest of the plant looks fantastic) so i just figure they'll sort that out.
Im very particular about hating insects, and im getting good at spotting/eradicating them. Yesterday after recycling the soil from the male plants i was scooping it out and in one scoop there were a bunch of lil' white squirming maggots (EWWW). I tossed them to the wind and then dumped poison on them, lol. I have a feeling that its an isolated infection, as i didnt see them anywhere else. I also like to check for spidermites (yeah theyre a problem) I found one webbing inside the top cola of my pretty lady, a couple squirts of my plant spray and sucker was dead.
I really wish i didnt have to worry about bugs ruining my plants, but... i suppose it comes with the territory of growing outside.
If anyone has any recommendations as far as all purpose bug removers go, im listening :).
Okay so im gonna line up the pics in list / description
Pic. 1 : This indica just refuses to bush, but is coming along nicely with her flowers. She looks like shes just going to have one main cola running up the entire plant, aside from the internodal fan leaves, the side branches arent really extending.
Pic. 2 : Taken at night, im not 100% sure but if i had a guess id say shes a sativa.
Pic. 3 : This is the biggest of all, started flowering about 7-8 days after the other 5, Fan leaves are almost twice the size of my hand.
Pic. 4 : She's the smallest of the group, has the look of indica, dark green leaves, only 14" tall compared to the 25" biggun.
Pic. 5 : Canopy shot of the injured girl, Bandages and supports came off today and she looks to be doing okay, no real signs of stress @ all. Flowers are coming along quite nicely, for everyone that is.
Looking good , its amazing how a snapped branch can survive with a bit of tape, my plant snapped the top 1/3 of the main stem and a side branch and I just wrapped around a little tape with a splint (straightened out paper clip) and my plant showed absolutely no ill effects.
Are you sure that first pic is a female? it looks a little like a male.
Good Growin.

Hey man its not a good idea to take pic's of your plants at night, because the flash can mess up your light cycle of the plant and you will get male/hermy:wtf:
peace and lookin good:rasta:
lol definitely sure, i guess in the pic you cant see, but the branches at every internode are swelling up with calyx's. Shes just going to have one main cola running down the entire plant from the looks of it. She's been given the same treatment as the rest of them, but as ive said, all of them have completely different sets of genetics. Sub for 2 which i believe are from the same bag.Quote:

Ill be posting more pics up sometime next week. Thanks for your support everyone!
Hey man how bout an update?:rasta:
