how long have you had it in 12/12?

[iblodro4220]

you should have had it at 18/6 untill you got sex then changed it to 12/12 damn 7 feet is big for an indoor plant

[TheGanjaKing420]

Yeah, there have been alot of "tall" plants around here lately. Either people don't know what they are doing, or they are just full of shit. Personally, I would think the latter.

[crazypumpkin]

maybe alot of ppl are full of shit, but heres my plant and my friend's standin next to it for scale. ive had it in 12 12 for weeks, there are bud sites but no real buds yet. this thing is getting too big for my place!

It is giving you buds! If it's throwing pistils, and on 12/12, and you have no light leaks, you should see the bud mass bulking up in a week or so.
That plant is very tall for indoors. And it is still stretching, so it's going to get taller.
General rule is that a shorter plant makes better use of artificial light, while taller plants are best suited for outdoors.
I take it that you have been running 12/12 from the start?

[crazypumpkin]

from the start, yeah, but during veg i had it on 18 hours of light per day...how tall do you think its gonna get??? i dont want to have to crop this baby hahahah...

thats strange..it just keeps growing taller and taller. I'm pretty sure its female...there are white hairs, esp. around the top, but I dont see the bud mass....maybe I'm wrong? The plant has been growing and hasnt stopped since I began growing it in late december

My cell phone camera cant take great pics, so I'll repost with zoomed in pic with a digital camera hopefully by tomorrow.

[stinkyattic]

it takes a couple weeks of full-on flowering to build up bud mass.
if thats a sativa, it's gonna get BIG and take forever and a half to finish.
whatever you do do NOT crop it. bend it, grow it in the stairwell, whatever you gotta do but once you start flower, topping is a big no-no.

that plant is all stem..... what happened to all the leaves?

[.:Karma:. o.O]

that plant looks crazy its like a big stem with like 4 branches of leaves up top...
