Flowering day 49 ~7 days to scheduled harvest. I'm seeing the first ambers if I look for them :D

Flowering day 53

Couple of days before harvest ... even tho I flushed, my fanleafs are still looking way too green. I do not have a lot of ambers yet, so I'm gonna leave them be for a little longer. I think I might be harvesting by the end of next week or so.. as soon as I start seeing more ambers, I will put her in 48h dark, and then harvest.

At this point I already took off about 10 grams quick-dried in the oven, the smoke is amazing and a LOT better then what I am used to. I love it, I will never ever buy my cannabis again.

Reading stuff like this gives me great hope my friend! I'm just thrilled for you and part of that is because I'm only a few days behind you. :) Awesome! :peace:

If I'm going by foliar and bud density, and what yielded me 10 grams so far, I think I should be looking at a harvest of around 100 grams dried/cured with 4 plants that have been under CFL's for most of the time, and gone without cannabis specific nutrients for that same period of time. I used about a liter premixed Pokon general indoor plant fertilizer in the second month, and the soil had 'nutrients for 2 months' in it. So they did have some nutrients, but nothing specific to boost yield or anything.

After I got my tent, I watered them twice with full strength nutes and bloom booster, etc. See pictures:

I have no clue what it all is .. I just follow directions on the bottles and pray to a deity I do not believe in, and this seems to work well ;)
Last watering with nutes also had molasses in it, around 3 tbsp / 10 liter, after the flush they got some molasses too, and I will water them today with around 5 liters with molasses, and that will be their final feed I guess.

Without further ado, the girls:

As always, thanks for watching! :thanks:
 
Oh, the 'dislike' has not been used .. I'm not the kind of guy that will spray stuff on my plants to prevent issues that I have never seen in my garden, so do not expect to creep into my indoor garden.
 
That would be awesome .. but this has been such fun, that I really would not bother if it came out at 60 :) I learned a ton and I love doing this .. I should have started growing ages ago .. but thought you needed HID's for it ... I stumbled upon a CFL grow, and thought ... hey, I can buy the needed parts for next to nothing, and I have some bag-seed, let's give it a go ...

That would have been an awesome grow .. if I would not have fucked it up with fertilizer pellets :( But again, I learned a lot, and it shows this time around I'd say, and from her on forward, I will be able to save money for future experiments, where normally, I would not have enough money to reach the end of the month.

So whatever the yield will be, I am a happy toker :D
 
Small update on the vegging plants, mum and two cutting taken from the flowering girls.
The later are just a test, especially the last one ;)

I would never have bought this stuff myself ... it all came with the tent, led, 36 pots, waterpump for watering, waterstick (showerhead on stick), rhino carbon filter and some more expensive premiuim stuff .. all for the price of just the LED alone. I noticed the LED has a broken red element in, but other then that, they all function. I'm not too sure of the quality, I have trouble finding reviews, but for the price I payed, even if the LED would suck, I'm still not loosing money :p
 
Flowering day 56 Official end of flowering period. I'd say she's close, but no ambers yet in amounts that make me want to turn off the lights for 48h :p
I guess she'll take a week or so longer then advertised from this point .. I might even flush again tomorrow ..

As always, thanks for watching, and happy holidays everyone! I hope you'll get to create memories to be fond of ;)

Looking SO nice! I think the figures from the seed banks may be a marketing tool to some degree? I also think you and I could split a pack of seeds and not have them finish at the same time. How long do you recommend letting them dry before the next flush? :peace:
Hope you have a fantastic Christmas!! We'll be running all over the place seeing grandkids... love it! :love:

I heard people flush daily till the runoff is clear .. I'm not really that motivated to carry bags of wet dirt up and down stairs :p So I flush when I can lift them again :p

I also know for sure that I do not want to keep doing this .. this is far from enjoyable. As soon as I am able, I will switch to DWC .. but the expenses to get the needed equipment and fertilizers and calibration fluids and what not, are prolly gonna push that back a grow. Then it's just changing the reservoir and done.
 
Flowering day 57

Yeah, late with update .. todays update still has to be made .. if I get to it :p

Does any of the lurkers here know WHERE to take the cuttings from mum ? I am living under the impression that I should always leave a bit of green on a branch, or else it will not transport water and or nutrients, and die. If I do that however, I get these ugly stumps .. and if I repeat that for a while, I will get a pretty ugly knotty type of mum ... unlike all the examples I've seen.


Could someone enlighten me ?
