Skywalker grow day 1

[doco]

Looking good Babystar! It's amazing how resilient cannabis is...I had similar beginnings to yours where my plants grew slowly and were stunted but they eventually came around and became healthy too.

thanks Pasfo and Doco

day 9 of flowering, these things are becoming little monsters, not that im complaining.
ive had to tie back the biggest one, and angle the reflector a bit in an attempt to get the best light coverage.

ive been moving them to my bath tub every 2 days to give them a good soaking...these things just keep on drinking, they have totally outgrown the pots but its to late to worry about that now lolimp:
theyve also been getting a full dose of fert every 2 days.

so much for indica, these things are monsters!!!!!

they now smell quite sweet, as in candy-floss rather than citrus....the afghan smell has pretty much gone, although slight under-tones remain, they smell fucking lush:stoned:

my bloom fert is higher in "N" than i would like, and i cant help thinking that its contributing to the unwanted verticle growth, im gonna go get some different (~zero"N")fert ASAP>

i just hope i can keep up with the constant care schedule and not let them down...

day 11 of flowering

well if its not one headache, its another...ive had to tie back my tallest plant to keep it from going to far above the main canopy,

trouble is, ive got no string to tie it down to its pot, so its just tie-clipped to a power cable at the moment...only did it thismorning and its reaching for the sky again!!! >>>runs off to find some string...

i wanted to try out some LST at some point, but this isnt quite what i had in mind lol

any suggestions anyone...

[babystarbud]

i knew i kept tht old roll of speaker cable for a reason....lol

look at the state of it:clap: :yippee: :error:

[babystarbud]

some better looking ones having a bath

they all just got a 1.5x dose of bloom fert...i thought id give em a bigger hit as they are just eating it up at the moment

[babystarbud]

a couple ,more quick pics to show the density of these things...
im really really pleased with them so farimp:

it is tempting to remove a few leafs to let the light into the inner parts, or pin them back or somthing

[OldGrowerDude]

Looking GREAT! DO NOT remove any healthy fan leaves!! Simply push them back or down with your hands below the bud sites you are trying to expose. Just a few more days and then your planning on pruning that scraggly growth at the bottom I guess.... Then a couple days more staring before harvest.... Then :stoned: Get stoned! Keep growing!

day 63 (fd13)

thanks man,

the tied down one is coming on well, they al got some of my new feed today and seem to have taken it well so far, the 10-25-25.
its my first time using a soluble powder type fert so i was a bit aprehensive but they seem a-ok

some more pics..

They filled out your grow room in no time holy cow! I firmly believe that almost ANY fertilizer can work well if used properly (as instructed). Looking at your crop makes me want to top mine early in veg growth, or possibly supercrop them partway in. That would work well in my situation since I need to snag as many clones as possible off them before I flower them and choose a mother plant.

And whatever you put on them seems to have done the trick the leaves are perking straight up thats a good sign! And I cant get over how thick those Main Stalks are you could throw them on a lathe and make a baseball bat when your done I think

I'm guessing a yield around 5-6 oz (at the least) What kind of yields do you usually get from this set up with other strains?

[babystarbud]

well, if the buds grow as good as the rest of the plant, i will be a happy farmer, lol

ive only had one previous grow with this set up, 6 plants about 6 oz,

now ive got 5 plants because 6 gets a bit crowded...but they are quite a bit more bushy than the last lot, so its just (if not more) crowded.

so going by my last grow, about 5oz....but....
these plants are so much more vigarous than the last ones (an unknown but good quality bagseed), a total different league....so im secretly hoping for 8-10oz of this batch....i hope i havent just jinxed myself by saying that!
