First grow (flowering stage only) with pics

Great pic Chromophore, looking good! Give us another shot of the group, you and I are at about the same point in 12/12.

New pics coming tonight. I'm going to get a group shot and hopefully a close-up that is more properly illuminated. The trichomes have just suddenly exploded in number over the last day. OMB do you have a good camera? Can you do super close-up stuff?

I do have the camera to do the super macro shots, but it has a dead battery and uses a funky one. I have been using my phone...pretty bad quality indeed.
I have another Camera, let me try that one and I will post pics in my thread later. The girls are about to "wakeup".

Hahaha....I know exactly what you mean. :smokin: I can just stare at them for 20-30 minutes at a time. Fussing, folding, checking...Never ending. Pretty funny actually, all this fuss for a couple plants.
Looking good Chromophore, I will try and get some better Macro pics up of mine.

The jungle has established itself. Four plants have managed to form an actual sea of deliciously fragrant rustling greenery. I can't even imagine what this is going to be like in a couple of weeks.

Wow...That is impressive. Your credentials are showing, nice work Chromophore. :thumbsup: We are just at opposite ends of the spectrum in regards to the plants themselves.
I grow short, stumpy Indica's ...your's are giants! Lol....I meaure inches, you measure feet! Damn nice chromophore, I have gotten a lot of great info from you and mama catbuds!
Shovelhandle has been a great help as well, happy growing.

looks like things are coming along quite nicely

I think I probably let these get a bit oversized before I went to 12/12. I supercropped them throughout veg, but looking at them now they probably needed a bit more training, and many of my super-cropping attempts are barely noticeable in the mature plant. It's cool to have them so big, but some of the flower tops are 6" from the light, and I'm afraid I'm going to see damage eventually. The batch I have in veg right now are a different strain (Lemon Skunk X Purple Wreck) and they have a wider, bushier, though somewhat airy and open habit. Their stems are thin and delicate and I really have to be careful training or supercropping, as they snap easily, and they don't recover from the bend the way these flowering plants do. These flowering girls are Afgooey X Lemon Skunk.

I'm noticing a fair amount of leaf drop in the room lately. Mostly old spent fan leaves but some smaller leaves as well. Typically from the mid and lower canopy area, and as many as 10 per plant per day. Many of the newer (or smaller) leaves in this zone are uniformly pale green to greenish yellow. It makes sense to me that the plant would shed leaves as the flowering process occurs, but since this is my first time with this I'm really nervous. I'm sticking religiously to the Foxfarm feeding schedule (nutes every other watering), and the buds seems to be coming along nicely. At what point should I worry about this? I will post pics tonight of the mid and lower zones.
