Grow Questions (Flowering and Vacation)

[4x5]

Huge plants don't necessarily mean more yield, just more to light up, I can only veg for as long as 34 days since they are always at a foot by then (from seed) by the end of their lives they settle between 2 and 3 feet tall, thats a lot to light evenly. Just don't wait too long to flower... As far as vacation, water the piss out of them (so water runs out the drain holes, you should be anyways) and go, trust the timers and trust they will not die, you will be fine, at worst they will be quite droopy when you get back.

4x5 Reviewed by 4x5 on 02-24-2007. Grow Questions (Flowering and Vacation) I've been browsing this site a lot, just never posted. I've read a lot about growing, but this is my first. So, I'm looking for some advice relating to preflowering / flowering. Here's some info: Strand: Nirvana Big Bud (Feminized) Height: Just over 33cm (13") Age: Middle of 7th week Location: Tall Cabinet (w/ partial Mylar) Light: Single 85w CFL (6500k daylight temp) Schedule: 20/4 Temps: Highest @ ~31C (~89F) Humidity: High @ ~50-80% Rating: 5

^^ then water as soon as you get home...

edit, i recently had four clone moms go one month with no water. they were suuper crispy, leaves were brittle but green. i watered and two hours later, they were picking back up.

Today the bigbud is a bit over 38cm (~15").

I'll probably induce a 12/12 photoperiod in the next day or two. After reading responses, I'm not too worried about the water anymore. I appreciate the comments and suggestions.

During the first 3-4 days of this plant's life, a friend was supposed to water it. Long story short, it didn't happen and I came back to two plants that were about short, wilted, yellow and lying flat on the soil. When I got back, I gave it some water and within a day it was looking good. You're right... they really are!

edit, I'll keep the pictures updated!

When I came back form vacation a few weeks ago, the plant was wilting and limp. Simply overwattering didn't cover it for a week.

I've tended to it since... cut the dead or dying leaves and got it back up to full health... just another delay in the growth cycle.

It has now been flowering for a week and a half or so. Here are the pictures.
