First grow (flowering stage only) with pics

[CaptainOrganicsCO]

This cold snap is definitely something else. Something cool is about to happen. Listen to your gardening background over your grow store guy and rash moves and you'll crush it.

The girls seem to be getting an attitude and I'm just trying to deal. Staking down outer, taller growth has definitely spurred growth in starved areas, and the energetic centers are doing something. Not quite a hum, but a really quiet version of a hum. Really quiet. But its there.

Chromophore, we know you're really dreaming of a big assed outdoor grow! Your next grow is going to be so much easier on you now that you see how they EXPLODE in flower. You decide how big you want them to be at finish & put them in 12/12 when they're about 1/3 that size. Easier on your back & your ceiling! Check out as many grow room pics as you can find.

Catbuds, you know much. I do dream of an outdoor grow and I will do it eventually. For now I am stuck in a place where indoor is the only reasonable option. But I know I can learn a lot of important stuff growing indoors. So that is my focus right now.

Outdoor is so much easier since Mother Nature does most of the work, but I wanted to remind you about plant transpiration. As the buds start to bulk, they will naturally raise the relative humidity, so keep your eye on that gauge & ditch the humidifier when they start raising it on their own or you could see bud rot, the bane of the pot grower!
-- Well, its raining here. So no lack of humidity for me!

Wow....Those plants are stellar! Nice job Chromophore, my little "stumpy's" pale in comparison.

They will get huge! Get ready to keep tying and bending them around. A thought I had in regards to that is: if u plan on continuing to rotate the plants it is gonna get really hard real soon. U might forget rotating them altogether and start tying them to the walls and bending them around as they continue to stretch. Just leave your self a path to get in, water, and keep an eye on things. I just looked at your pic again, lol, u have a jungle on your hands my friend. A good problem to have though is... What the heck do I do with all this weed???

I can only wonder how big these would get if I hadn't supercropped. The breeder who gave me the seeds thought that they would follow their Afghan parent in growth habit, and when they were very young, they did have a thick, bushy look to them, but as they've matured they've really started becoming vertical plants. Now that he has seen my grow, he's changed his mind and feels the Lemon Skunk parent is dominating growth. One of the seeds from this batch gave rise to a plant that I can only describe as a dwarf. I'll post some pics later today. It has a slow growth pattern, smaller, almost gnarled leaves, and female pre-flowers completely lacking a visible stigma. I put it in the dark for a few days to force flowering, and it does have obvious vase-shaped pre-flowers at the nodes, but no hairs. I'm tempted to just throw it in with the budding plants (it's still in veg with another younger group) to see what happens, but I'm worried that it may be a hermaphrodite or something.

Really nice looking plants, Keep up the good work. I am so excited over your grils, I almost can smell them from here. Good luck, and happy growing.

I apologize if u stated previously but how long did you veg these plants?

[Chromophore]

Captain they vegged officially 10 weeks. But they spent 4 weeks in peat pots as tiny seedlings, shocked (and killed) by my blunder of putting the seedling tray in my outdoor greenhouse. The temp in the greenhouse read 120F when I checked on them in the afternoon. Most of them died. Eight survived. Of those eight, five were female. Four of them are in the group budding, the other is a mutant that I don't know what to do with. Anyway, the answer si that their early lives were stunted, but their main veg stage was 9-10 weeks.
