Amstrons grow log: Big bud x Northern lights

[Kush Over]

How goes it, Amstron? Try any hash while you were in the 'Dam? I knew my aunt that went there last year said she tried some White Widow and then some hash almost immediately after wards -- basically she could hardly feel the effects of the Widow after the hash overshadowed it. LoL?

Anyway, the plants are doing great, much bushier than my plant was at that age [ maybe due to the predominance of sativa genetics in my own gene pool? ] Doesn't look like that minor under watering did them any harm, though. I say a little stress is good for them, but then that's only my opinion in regards to Natural Selection and it's influence in nature.

As far as the flowering goes you could also try to aim for when it begins producing alternating nodes. That's typically what I use as a reference to it's maturity if preflowers haven't shown yet, and even if they have.

thanks for the tips, sadly, I didn't try any hash, only skunk. I'll try some next time I go

well, I've done LST on two plants and tried LST'ing the double plant in opposite directions as to make a bush and hopefully create a nice yield. one plant stem cracked a tiny bit in this process, so I have bound it up with horticultural string untill it heals

Hello amstron . There coming along very nicely .

It's intresting you're trying the LST method, I've never tried it but have seen some good results on here from it.

Super job amstron ............................... love mand xxx

right, just an update, the Lst is coming along nicely. I am hoping that the double plant will be female, although it may be male as it is growing faster than the others. Some of my leaf tips are curling down, you can see in one of the pics i'll upload. I haven't seen this before on my plants, it doesn't seem to be affecting the plants health though. The tallest of the plants is 17 inches and the smallest is 12 inches

good job m8
cheers all

I could flower the plants now as they have alternating nodes. but I'm gonna wait

wow! ... youre growing little yuppie girls (note the designer L.L. Bean thermometer) .. they'll probably grow up to be spoiled, little Paris Hilton plants ...

Ah, they're looking beautiful, Amstron!

About that one plant growing faster than the others. While it may be male, you can't accurately determine a plant's sex from it's growth rate. I've had males that have grown slow and showed their sex last, and I've had females that have grown fast and showed their gender quick. It's all in the genetics.

It's good that they're showing alternating nodes, that's a sign they'll be showing genders within the month, or even sooner if you decide to throw on an extended night schedule. Keep in mind, though; they're going to stretch a bit, and they will put on extra nodes so that will add to their height as well.

Can't wait to see them when they've got buds.

Keep up the great work, Amstron.
