my first grow - northern lights

[deadhead65]

Ok well I was dead wrong, Happy Helen is a hank. I don't know what to do with him for now he's shoved in a dark closet that no one uses. I'm obviously afraid of throwing him away so I guess this weekend I'll chop him up and flush him. Not sure how to dispose of the soil though. Maybe throw it in my backyard?

Anyhoo here's the pic of Sally at 2 1/2 weeks. Pretty pathetic and lemme tell ya Happy Hank there looks healthier even after being shoved in a closet for almost a week.

But whatever..........what do you guys think I'll get...1/8?

The top bud is really growing but I have a question.................. the tippedy top of the white hairs on the very top bud are dark but the rest is white. It's just the very very tip that is dark. Is that something bad going on?Here's some pics of the plant as a whole and some of the buds but I couldn't get a shot of the dark tips on the top bud 'cause my camera sucks.

To close to the light maybe. Sounds like heat burn.
Looking good hang in there, give then some bloomig or flowering nutes that will help with the size of your yeild
Looks like you are at the stage where she will stop growing up and put all her energy into making flowers so the nutes will help now more than ever IMO

Well the tips of the flower bud hair things aren't near the light so I think maybe it's just maturing since the other ones are starting to turn a bit, though only at the very tips.

I have given her two doses in total now of bloom nutes, one last week and one this week and I do see a difference. I even see new budding sites. This thing is so agonizingly sloooooow though!!! It's really a true test of patience!

I know I just updated but here's a pic of the tips of the hairs and a pic of my new lil buddy. Unfortunately I wasn't organized this time so I have no clue who she is. I planted a freebie and a bag seed and one hasn't cracked and one sprouted so who knows. Definitely not Northern Lights again though. I love the frost on the bud leaves.

Deadhead, You have a good first crop going there. Any first crop that makes it to harvest is a good first crop. Especially with just CFL's. I did read that you were thinking about a 150 WATT HPS. But was thinking you did not get it. If you are still thinking of a HPS light. It will still help a lot in the late weeks of Flower. Your buds are just entering the stage where they will be putting on wieght and getting more DENSE. But they need that heavy hitting HPS light.

Oh,, I am new to this Forum, This place is great. I never new there was internet spots that people can pass around ideas and Info and growing. I found this place, because I was trying to find out why My plants were doing something I had not seen before, they looked healthish.. But they had candy caned Fan leafs, and Ram Horned Bud Leafs, Purple Stems leading to Fan Leafs, and Leathery feeling Leafs also, and Very dark green. I thought,, Hmm,, Over Nut uptake, Hmm (P) Deficience. Then I found this site, and one guy desribed, and showed pictures of exactly what my plants are like. (HUMBOLT COUNTIE'S OWN BUSH MASTER) This is what he added, and so did I, Both of us for the first time. I added this because the Hydro store owner said it would help keep the plant short and bush... PFFT. But within this site, I am pretty dang sure I found my trouble.. NICE!!!!!! FLUSH, Flush, Flush.. Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Anyway. Hang in there Deadhead. AKA Sir Flush-A-Lot... Flushing is never bad.
