Nice tree! Old as heck though, how was it grown?

It looks to me that it is preflowering or just started flowering. Be sure to have 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness for the flower cycle.

You have at least four weeks left, more than likely more, guessing by how much flowering you are showing.

Hi Bree,

Thanks for the coments, appreciate it & I really like your name Bree (very unique). Hmm... I am living at the city in Asia and night time there is some street lights so impossible to have total darkness. Is it ok?

Everyday I have only about 8/16 Sunlight only cos blocked by some other buildings around here. Currently it is about 1 metre tall only at 10mths, outdoor growing. I water the plant twice daily 8am & 8pm.

There last few days the leaves of the plants started to have yellow leaves but lots of small leaves have started to grow too, is it ok?

Btw how do I harvest it?

Thanks.

Thanks mate for the comments! Currently the bud is very small and a bit smell only! Dunno whether is indica or sativa as I dunno how to distinguish.''

How to distinguish by the bud, mate?

Thanks!

Hi Bree,

Thanks for the coments, appreciate it & I really like your name Bree (very unique). Hmm... I am living at the city in Asia and night time there is some street lights so impossible to have total darkness. Is it ok? Actually no, this not okay and that is why it is not flowering properly. Would it be possible to cover the plant in something breathable but blocks out light so you get a least 12 hours darkness? Or can you drag it into your closet for 12 hours? If you don't, the plant may never be smokable, er I guess it could technically be smokable, but it won't get you very high -if at all The street lights are what the problem is I'm sure.

Everyday I have only about 8/16 Sunlight only cos blocked by some other buildings around here. Currently it is about 1 metre tall only at 10mths, outdoor growing. I water the plant twice daily 8am & 8pm. That may be too much watering. Only water when a few inches of the soil is dry. Stick your finger in to knuckle to ck. Overwatering could be causing the yellowing leaves...maybe.

There last few days the leaves of the plants started to have yellow leaves but lots of small leaves have started to grow too, is it ok?
Which leaves are yellow and how are they yellowing. Yellowing is normal in flower, but this is a little soon. Also the farther you get into flowering, less leaves shoul grow and more Should fall off. If you feel it is a lot of leaf loss, try to find a nute that has a higher p rating in the NPK number. I use MG bloom 15-30-15. I don't know what nutes are available in Asia...how neat, can I come visit? There are so many pretty flowering trees there (real trees I mean lol). Be sure to have trace minerals in it and start at 1/2 stregnth (and don't do it every water or you will have a chemical salt build up and will need a thourogh flushing later)
Btw how do I harvest it? This one is easy! Once you feel it is ready (by trich color and/ or by sample smoke- note it is too early right now to get anything off of it) chop it down, hang it somewhere dark and not too hot not too cold ck for dryness pretty often. When it is crisp to the touch and still can squeeze and feel moisture remove fan leaves and throw it in some paperbags, shaking lightly and opening up the bag daily to bring in fresh air and keep the buds from molding. Once it is quite dry (a miniscule amount of moisture when squeezed) and the stems snap quite well trim it up, remove stems (if you didn't already that is) and place in glass jars 2/3 way full. For a few weeks open the jars up to air out once a day. Always be cking for mold with your eyes and sniffer. If it begins to mold, it was not dry enough for the jars and throw back into the bags. Remove mold and don't smoke it. (that seemed obvious, but you never know).
Thanks.

Hope that helped, and I really do like the tree! I'd love to see when you harvest!!

Hi Bree,

Thank you for the detail explaination! Wow that is really great, hmm.. I cannot really bring the plant in and out the house 'cos my family does not know tat I am growing weed.. he..he!

It has been 2 weeks after I took the photos that I have posted and it has grow quite a lots buds now as I can see for a short plant. I am quite happy with the result. I have been growing about 20 plants already but 19 have been unsuccessful due to either it is male or I done something wrong in the process.

The seed I have got from Nirvana Seed Boutique iin Holland. I have tried couple of species but does not grow well in Asia. The one that I have shown in the photos is called " Sweet tooth". Hope it is as sweet as it looks..ha..ha!

I have just repot it about 3 weeks ago and I have add a mixture of different soil & nute, maybe it is causing the yellow leaves.

I will update ya again with photos if possible!

Thanks Bree, do keep in tune! :thumbsup:

ok man you are giving it to much water i done the same thing as you on my first grow and it took like 12monthes to be ready to smoke lol ok this is what you want to do get you're finger and put it in the dirt only when the dirt is oneinch dry then water and that's about ever two and a half days man you are giving it to much water wich is makeing it grow alot slower what happen's is if you water it to much the root's stop growing the plante it's self is not really living man it's all about the root's but if you only water it ever two and a half days the root's start looking for water wich makes them grow and makes the plante grow like wild fire all so ever night about 7:00pm get some old sheet like a bad sheet or some thing and put it over you're plante and take it off bettewn 10:00am and 11:00am wich will make it flower a hell of a lot quicker peace man
