Happy 420! CFL First Day Flowering

[AliceDee]

Thanks for the tips. I'll try not to worry about them so much, but they are pretty important to me :jointsmile:

I guess the reason I am worried is because I don't have a perpetual harvest and I'm hoping to be able to make these 3 last me for a few months. I think I'm gonna cure the better buds for a month or a bit longer, then the smaller buds/hash will last me till the good ones are done

I don't want to debate the point of lst when the plants are freshly watered. But, my little bit of experience was that the plants snapped easier when they were full of water and are more pliable when they are drying out. Anyone else have an idea about this? In any event, be careful bending. : )

you'd be surprised at what you actually yeild dry..I was dissapointed the first time, having illusions of grandeur only gave me false hope.

A few clippings wouldn't have hurt and they are so easy to keep...maybe next time

good luck.

Found the cameras macro mode, too bad the thing is only a 2.1mp camera.

Here's a couple colas, one has some colors going on.

Nice growing there dude. I can only hope to reach this level. I am already making a list of items I KNOW I will need by the time my little ones are done vegging.

Well I was hoping to make some teas so I went to walmart to look for blackstrap molasses and guano but couldn't find any. I did find some unsulphured molasses by the syrups and stuff, but is that the right kind to use?

Day 18 now:

THOSE LOOK GREAT!

Well I went and checked on the girls today and noticed on one of my plants there were a couple pods at the base of the buds, this was the first time I saw them. I plucked off about 5 on that plant and cant find anymore, but it looked like 1 of them was open.

There are 3 girls in my cab and I checked the other 2 and there were no signs of pods or any of that sort yet, but since there was an open pod I am probably too late. I have no where else *safe* to put my hermie plant, so should I just let them go till there done then sanitize my room and enjoy some seeded bud , or should I try to find a place outdoors to put this hermie plant till its done? There's at least 5 weeks left I'd say as I'm on day 19 right now.

I'd kill for some Reverse right now but I don't think stores here would have it lol

Well I think I'm just gonna put the hermie plant back in the box and go through it daily and look for male parts. It probably will end up getting my other 2 crops pollinated but I just can't see throwing out a nice looking plant like that.

If the hermie does pollinate the other 2 females, will the seeds of value to me? There is one female that is very good looking with some indica looking leaves and pink pistils shootin out of the buds, I wouldn't mind growing it again next time.

If anyone thinks I should keep the herm away from the other 2 and just finish the females, let me know before I put it back in!

More pics-

This is the plant that I really like. If does get pollinated by the hermie, I will probably use the seeds next time.

The pink pistils and fat 9 fingered leaves makes this one look unique.
