I live in Golden colorado near Boulder. And im 30 days since i first saw a preflower, and believe me i looked every day like i was obsessed! Not, since i saw the first bud as you thought. Ok here goes the whole rundown. I planted june 20th outside in the ground
i loosened up up ground three feet deep and mixed perlite with the
regular dirt and planted it. I used a 175 watt metal halide light to
lengthen the days to 16 hrs i fed it age old grow 12-6-6 and 2 tsp
of molassas it grew 4 ft tall and really bushy and dark green.
i took the light off of it august 15th because my buddys plant started to flower naturally and he planted his the same time i did it showed its first sign of flowering august 20 when the Y pattern turned to offset y pattern and they took off bigtime stretching. i waited two weeks and gave it age old bloom formula .01-.10-.01
and guano budswell and tsp of molassas ive done that for two weeks the buds are getting huge already. the center cola is 23 inches tall from where the y pattern changed and the rest of the buds are 12 - 18 inches each. (his baby has grown amazngly
compared to all my friends ( who planted at the same time.
anyway my trichomes are already cloudy WHATSUP?????????
