Hello Emerica Thankyou .
I do try to do a journal that shows and describes as much of the grow as possible ................... the good bits and the bad bits as well



Hello Rekap . How are you ? ..................... Well I hope




Update ........................ Well I have noticed three plants with female preflowers and two with male preflowers. I have been trying to get pics of these for what seems like ages but in the end I only have one pic that can be recongised as having female preflowers ................ I was starting to get quite fed up with the camera .

Anyway the first pic is the one showing the preflowers on and the rest are just general pics showing the plants on day one of the 12/12 cycle.

Hey there, Mand. How's it going? I see you changed your avatar -- a true radiance of beauty!

I haven't been watching this journal as much as I should have! But I'm glad I managed to catch it before you progressed too far, and I must say I like where it's headed.

Have you any plans for the males -- possibly as studs for a few dozen seeds? Although I have a feeling you may not have much use for seeded females when you're looking for something to smoke, which is understandable. I know if I wanted weed full of seeds I'd buy a fifty sack from my dealer. LoL.

I love how the pinching turned out, by the way. Great job on that.

The drooping you mentioned in the last post is quite depressing to me -- not your plants, my own. When I went from high kelvin light to lower kelvin light, the leaves drooped. But no worries -- the plants benefit greatly from the HPS during flowering, and I'm sure, despite the drooping, that the plants are happy.

Keep up with the good work, Mand. Many blessings.

Hey,lookin good!
I topped mine and flowered at about the same time as you. I have a bunch of 2 headed monsters and a few bushes. Depending on the strain. But most just grew twice as tall from the split and grew 2-4 big tops .It worked really well for the indica dominant strains that didn't branch out. Because they would end up with up to four tops instead of 1. But make sure you stake them up if they need it. Because they will be top heavy.

Hello britewire Thankyou .
I'm affraid once I start doing a journal I have to always find time to write replies and do a little update ...................... well it gives me an excuse to just "put my feet" up for a while




Hello Kush .
I'm affraid I just bin the males once I am sure of their gender. I do sometimes think about trying to make a little Hash Oil out of them, but to be honest I just never seem to get around to it .

The "Pinching". I would have liked to have done a few pinches, but the current bud situation has kinda "forced my hand a little", so I decided to start flowering. Also it should give me time to do two Summer crops by starting them now .............. if everything goes ok that is .

Oh the "drooping" . Well I have had them drooping on the last two grows and I honestly have no idea why they did it. So I'm just hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't happen with this lot ................. and if it does I'm hoping it isn't too bad .

Oh and the avatar Kush, like I always tell people, it's all slap and light .



Hello Jdog To be honest I don't think they will need support, it would be nice if they did .
It's like I always say Jdog, I am usually good at growing leaves, but not so hot at growing large quantities of buds .
Anyway I am keeping my fingers and everything else crossed that this crop does ok. I could really do with a decent one, beecause the last one had to be abandoned and the one before that was a little dissapointing in terms of bud quantity.




Update .................... Well I have been trying to get pics of the preflowers again, took dozens of them and not one of them turned out any good. They were all blurry and pretty naff .

The two pics here are first a general veiw of what it looks like in the growroom at present. The second is a comparison of "little runty" and one of her sisters. I say sister because she is showing female preflowers .



Thankyou very much guys .............................. love mand xxx

When you post some update pictures, could you tell us howlong they're on 12/12? It saves me a lot of time calculating and reading back in the thread.

Hello again britewire , Oh dear I had to smile when I read you're post because that's how I normally have to work it out myself .
I do forget and loose track of time when growing .

Of course I will love , I am really trying to remember with this grow ..................... and they have been growing five weeks and four days, and flowering for two days now.

Mind you one thing I can promise, that I will have to come back to this post in the future and try and work it out for future posts .

Why are you vegging so long? I bet you can have a better overall yield when you use a 2 or 3 week veg and then flower


here's an example of a 2 week veg.
