Day 62 of veg, flipping to 12/12 tonight

[MightyMoe22]

This is my first time going through this rodeo, but feel pretty good over all.

Definitely made some mistakes, but I'm learning from them. Special shout to @MrSauga and @Emilya for the input and advice along the way.

Atm my biggest fear is that I should have flipped 5-7 days ago, afraid of the stretch, might run out of headroom. And I would have but works been crazy and lots going on outside of that too. Long story short I missed a watering and she got real sad, so I watered her back up, gave it 2 days then flushed with 5 gallons of DI water today and changed the light timer.

First two gallons with 10 mil of ff sledgehammer each

Second two just DI water

Last gallon was just DI water and recommended dose of great white

Just wanted to show off how she's coming along I guess, haven't gotten around to making a journal. I will next run.

Anyways here's some pics from tonight.

I'm blown away. Already seeing the very first signs of pistols after FIRST 12 hrs of darkness! I've always heard it takes at least 4-5 days to start seeing them. Sorry about the crappy pic. Hard to get it to focus well enough.

It's like fireworks to me, ohhhhh, ahhhh! Lol

I'm currently under the same 600w hps I've gone all through veg with. My buddy was telling me I should put in the other fixture I have and run the 1000w hps I have. Would a 1000w hps be too much for this 2x4 tent? Or would it maybe help keep my stretch under control, the shot up at least an inch last night too.

 

[Emilya Green]

The problem is going to be heat in a small tent with that big light... but if you can handle that, I see nothing wrong with 1000w of light as long as you can move it to a proper distance.

 

[MightyMoe22]

Gotcha, that's the one thing I was worried about too is heat. It's been on the upper end of acceptability running 75-79. I may be able to keep the temps in check if I tap into one of the ac ducts that run close to my grow room. Currently there is no ac coming into that room.

The tent is 7ft tall, and atm my air filter and fan are inside the tent. Will move them outside the tent to gain almost a foot of headroom for the light to go higher.

A lot to consider. Gonna have to mull it over for a few hours and weigh my options. Hopefully I'll have made up my mind to either bite the bullet and change it all around or not by the time I get home from work.

7 days since the flip and boy is she ever stretching. I've created a monster.....note to self, don't veg for 62 days next time lol. Anyways here's a few pics from today at lights on.

Just putting them here for the 1 or two ppl that may stumble across them here since I've not put a journal together for this big girl.

 

[Emilya Green]

It is indeed a monster! Congratulations!

 

[MightyMoe22]

Right!? She took off! Grown a foot in the last week. And she's a thirsty girl now too. Having to water every day to 36hrs at most in her 7gal pot to keep her happy. She's 34" tall from base of stem and 40+" wide. My goal was to fill the 2x4 tent with one plant. I suppose I have succeeded, but at what cost? Lol

Never got around to changing out my lights..but oh well, always room for improvement with the little ones in the last pic, both clones from the big one. Fimmed the larger one 5 days ago, and trained it over just today. Getting it ready for the big tent lol.

My very own little jungle! It's so exciting!

Dude she is beautiful!!!! An awesome job!!!

What is the strain? Sorry if I missed it.

 

[Havocsm1]

Awesome job man can't wait until I'm there 1 month to go. Your current light seems just fine, lol.

 

[bluenoserjoe]

Don't leave us hanging, it has been a month now , how are you making out @MightyMoe22

 

[MightyMoe22]

Really sorry to leave everyone hanging. I had to go out of town for a little over a month for work. Been a shit show. Anyways just got back home tonight, had to leave her in the care of a friend...not as happy as I could be about what I came home to. Should be happy she's still alive though I guess. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

 

[MightyMoe22]

So. Like I said not exactly how I would have like it to look at this point. But just glad she's still alive. Im guessing another week maybe two before I do the big chop. Here's a few pics. Grabbing a jeweler's loop tonight. And have some yoyo hooks coming in tomorrow so I can get rid of the fishing line that's supporting the stems.... oh and someone asked what strain it is, she's a kush berry.

Just harvested this beast tonight, I have a small 2x4x4 tent I am using for my drying room, and this plant has it 100% filled from one side to the other. I'm kinda impressed. Here are a couple pics. Note, I had to cut some early because it was way too close to the light and beginning to foxtail pretty bad. I got 49 grams dry from that early harvest. I'm hoping for around a half lb in total. Here's to hoping!

I just dropped two more seeds in water tonight too, a cheese auto, and a cement shoes both from canuk seeds. I also got a new tent and light set up for the next run and will be making my first full journal on it. Would love to have some of you all follow along soon! Cheers!
