[TheAnswer1776]

Beautiful plant my brother! It looks really healthy and green! I will be watching for the finish on this one!!

 

[Berry Knot]

Thanks for the Kind words everyone..

 

[basement grow]

Great spacing on the nodes and very nice color on those leaves! Bushy and stout, should make for some great bud.

 

[Berry Knot]

Thanks man, I hope I actually get some decent size colas this grow. I am shooting for 3 OZs from her but I am sure it will be around 2 OZs...

 

[MostlyCrazy]

I know, I know, don't get your hopes up but in this case with one plant free to roam and things under control I'd bet 3+. Anything close would be amazing.

 

[Berry Knot]

Wow, You think so MC? I would be stoked to get 2.5-3. But 3+, I would shit haha. You guys gotta help me get some fat buds

 

[Berry Knot]

She is growing like crazy, She has flowers now tho. Shes been growing a little over an inch a day since Saturday when I took those pics. 22.5" tall right now, 5.5" in 5 days.

 

[MostlyCrazy]

That's perfectly normal. First two weeks after flower = 2x veg height. Some strains grow longer and they more than double their veg height. The plant will open up and you need to concentrate on getting as much light as close as possible from here till the end of the grow.

I knew they grew 2X during the first 2 weeks, But shes growing alot for 1 day haha. I usually saw 1/2" a day with previous grows.

She is starting to open up as well, Thanks for the tip with the lights. I kinda plan on keeping just the 250w on her, the plant is getting pretty good light with just that light.

 

[MostlyCrazy]

I use a 250 for veg now but I used to use it for flower and you're right. With proper height management that's plenty of light.

 

[MostlyCrazy]

Is this a different strain then you've grown in the past?

 

[Berry Knot]

Yes it is a different strain, So I know that plays a factor..

 

[Berry Knot]

Day 35, week 2 Flower. She has widened up a lot the past week, and Stretched quite a bit as well. Averaging a good inch a day and drinking a 1/2 gallon to a gallon of water a day. She is 24" tall and about 30-31" wide, She grew 7" since last Saturday..

Did a RES change yesterday and gave her the first dose of flower nutes. I used grow, micro, bloom, Big Bud, B-52, Bud candy, And Bud Blaster. PPM was 1040 and PH is 5.6. Flowers are really starting to show, Should have some Baby buds by next weekend.

Lookin healthy!!!

Spreading out nicely. Whatever you are doing, keep doing that. Keep your nutes and addititives in moderation for now. You can apply full power in a couple of weeks.

 

[Berry Knot]

Thanks guys, And thanks for the advice. I am using them in moderation, Small doses of the additives. I will slowly go stronger each week.

Also I will be foliar feeding Purple Maxx starting next week, Get them trichrome levels up..

 

[Berry Knot]

Also I looked at the light chart to see how far to keep a 250w light away and it say no closer than 5, Should I keep it about 5-6" away?

 

[MostlyCrazy]

I use what is called the hand test. Place the back of your hand between the bottom of the light and the top of the plant. If it's uncomfortable at all after say, 30 secs, then it too hot/close to your plant.

I start out around 1' and work my way closer. About 8-10" is my norm. I have an unvented reflector but a fan blows between the light and the top of the plants and has a side benefit of moving my stems around for a little exercise.

 

[Berry Knot]

I can put my hand right below the glass, which is about 2.5" below the light and it doesnt burn at all. But I didnt know if the light would be spread out more evenly if it was around 5-6"
