Question / Progress update / IT'S A GIRL!

[hairyboblovesthemob]

Well, I just wanted to show what has happened with my plant since I last posted pictures (not like anyone was following).

I just thought it'd be nice to show the progress and what happened after I LST'd for the first time / fed it some Fox Farm big grow ferts.

This way, anyone questioning whether or not they should LST can know that it really is awesome. I'm attaching photos in this order:

1- Stretched out plant, waaaaay stretched (from about a month ago).
2- LSTing for the first time.
3- Plant began to fill out but had a P & K deficiency
4- Looking real sexy after getting the proper nutes/filling in!
5- Looking a little stretched again (side view, not in the closet, in the kitchen)


And now for my question, it's starting to get a little too tall again, should I LST or will the light continue to hit the bottom leaves? I cannot fit anymore lights in this closet (I have 8 CFL's on this one plant). It's a female (my other plant was a male - what a jerk). And she is getting lots of little white hairs EVERYWHERE!

I do keep the lights about 1/2 and inch to 1 inch above them but they grow over night and get burned (the bottom leaves that are brown are from the P&K deficiency it had a few weeks ago, but the top leaves sometimes brown because they touch the bulbs and burn!

Do people continue to move around the plants stems and LST during 12/12 or is it normal to just let it grow like a mad man? This thing is growing like crazy! :thumbsup:

Oh man, I'm so excited. Thanks in advance for any help.

hey man long time since we seen your plants.. congratz that lsting worked out for ya.. Btw you could keepo lsting them while you flower, or just leave em.. although the more light the lower budsites get the more bud you will get from them... good luck with whatever you decide to do..

[wesley willis]

nice recovery.

[hairyboblovesthemob]

I plan to update this every few days or so. I LST'd some of the branches yesterday because I realized not all the budsites would be getting enough light. It's crazy how fast the buds are growing!

[hairyboblovesthemob]

Oh man, the buds are starting to show in a lot of places on this plant. And this is one plant, so I wanted to know any yield estimates, etc. I am VERY excited. Pictures attached!

keep the updates coming man!! lookin good...

[hairyboblovesthemob]

Here are the updates.

Two days or so ago they started to show crystals. I was really impressed/excited!

I just took some pictures and whoa, it looks as though some of them are already forming into "golf ball on a tee". Is it not too early for this? (See the first picture of my post.) I couldn't see this under my magnafying glass or my naked eye but my camera can!

On December 19th, the plant will have been under 12/12 for 28 days.

I suppose the plant has more maturing to do, I thought it could take anywhere from 40-60 days for the plant to be ready.

I definitely don't want to pick them before or after they are at their most perfect potency so someone let me know what I should expect.

It's so funny growing this, I know so much now about how to take care of the plant in its early age now since I have the experience but since this is my first grow I still have no clue about what to do now that it's maturing. Like parenting I guess.

I think I take better care of this than I do with my dog. But he can take care of himself for the most part!
