Please comment on my first grow...Romulan

[therealribbit]

I know you guys are fascinated by the changes to my grow room via pics, but here is the stuff ya really want.

Pics of the tops of the 3 plants. First shot is the best , but the 'volcano' plant seems to be growing more in lines with a great grow. Hard to get a good res shot of it without leaves fuckin up focus.

Btw... smoked the freshman buds of the hermie plant last night and today.... they sure as hell get the job done

*Edit...should this be moved to grow log? i'm cool with it

About a month into force flowering at this point. Yeah it's only been two days since last update, but... screw you, it's exciting...

Been having some purple stems show up on the fan leaves... had one break off with little pressure yesterday. I haven't been using hardly any nuts, so once i noticed the purple stems i started nuting up using miracle grow... i know it's your guys' favorite.

Heh, i started most these in MG organic potting soil, and the 2 month time period is up now, so that'd explain the purple stems. I don't have money to go out and buy a bunch of specific nuts now, so MG diluted is best they are gonna get.

Don't buy any nuts but some nutes would do just fine The girl looks great and ofcoarse many people have mixed feelings about MG but the fact is it works...(for some) Can't wait to see the end results I've heard nothing but good things about the strain. Keep the updates coming!:jointsmile: I love watching ladies go through their cycle. You ever think about Some blackstrap molasses to to plump them up a lil bit? I haven't used it yet but my ladies are coming around week 4 in another couple days and I'm thinkin about when to start?

About 33 days after forcing flowering. Here are the tops of the 3 ladies. The overhead and fullbody view are of my most mature plant, plant #1.

Not as much progress as i'd hoped, but when you stare at them everyday the progress is blurred. Let me know what you guys think.

Full body pics of my 3 girls, and 2 better looking top bud parts.

*Treating my plants like actors... i've definitely chosen thier best sides, it may look like complete bud where there might be some gaps.

[therealribbit]

decided to give you some different style pics this time...upskirts and trichome shots of my 'eldest' plant.. Some parts might look amber, but remember i got daylight and tungsten bulbs going... pretty sure that yellow look is from that.

Added support but i'm not sure they really need it.

Main stem not impressing me so much past few days, but the secondary and tertiary buds on the 'popcorn' ones (hoping i got that term right) blew up last night. They were looking like they weren't going to do anything a few days ago.

The buds on my plants seems to grow in spurts aswell. Nothing for a few days and then *bam* they suddenly expand. I think thats why I only take photo's once a week, it has nothing to do with the fact I am lazy.

Anyway... looks like things are coming along nicely. Keep up the good work.

:thumbsup:

About 46 days into force flowering now. According to strain info i should only be flowering another 1-2 weeks, but plants remain non-smelly.. I get close and some parts smell great, but then later i'll go in for smell and it's not so smelly. Maybe it's a romulan thing.

Main bud growth still seems like it slowed down, but side bud growth (pictured) seems to be healthy.

Alot of the leaves on ALL plants have had wilty look lately,... i've tried everything from underwatering to overwatering but they seem similar. Plant's life is coming to end soon right?, not sure if that is part of it.

Plants under cfl's mature slower compared to HID (which is usually used for the flowering times description). Looking good :thumbsup: Don't worry about what 'they' say, just keep checking the trichs :jointsmile:

So i followed some of your guys advice and harvested my oldest plant. I noticed that the 'nanners' in the picture i posted in http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-gro...ring-seed.html thread... were not the only ones. They were popping up all around plant. Trichs were still clear in places, but according to strain info it was in harvest window.

Still two plants left to harvest, plant #2 i'm hoping will be the best from the smell and size.
