Okay everyone sorry for taking so long to get posting!

Things sure have been growing however there are some signs of hermie!!!! im thinking if they are too late anyway and there might be some yeild still to get.

Here is the family

Apollo what you think done soon?

This is what was found on the all the plants except Gordon

So what do you think about the hermie situation tips tricks?

 

[Light Worker]

What are you seeing that is causing you concern?

 

[fish cake]

I am with lightworker the pointy growth I do think I see is normal. now if it starts to become round maybe nuts but pointy is good

 

[mountaingoat]

Gonna grab the microscope and get some pictures posted but it kinda looks like either male or preflowers.

 

[Buckshot]

When looking around seeing all these beautiful plants one cant help but get a bit jealous, perhaps I gotta step it up with the nutes?

Don't cause you will just burn´em, they look fine, even better; -super-healthy! To produce monster colas you'll need more light, much more..
You can (if you want) break/bend down the tall ones and lower the lamp A bit, perhaps?

I have just started my first grow after quite some time. My grow area is rather small, like the area you show here. My area is a closet. Knowing of the "penetration issue" I added "100w" (1600 lumen) lights on "Keyless Socket Flush Mount base's" (old porcelain pull chain socket with out a pull chain) on each wall, down somewhat low. They supply a good amount of light to supplement the overhead fixture, and having them on different walls gives several angles of light to hit each plant. There is more heat, but I have a cool grow area, so that has not been a big issue for me, and I feel that the added light at the lower levels is worth the heat issues. Only a minor change of positioning of the plants was needed, and they seem quite happy. The cost is also quite low. I got the bases from the local home improvement center for about 2$ and the extra lights for 10$ for 4. (Daylight, 5000K 1600Lumem)

are you using any molasses? that sure would put some girth on apollo, maybe 2 more feedings on her and then just water and molasses from there on out. let her feed off of her leaves. just a suggestion. and the extra lights would help too
sure is purdy it is

 

[mountaingoat]

Okay there has been quite a delay with updates but here goes. Got some molases and added it to apollo did give him a bit more girth and he was also cut down and almost all smoked. Guess thats why I havent been around lately...

Apollo is a Liberty Haze, from Barneys Farm

So here comes a little collage about Apollos life span with a smoke report!
Baby (Seedling popped up really fast after planting)

Teen (Here was the only problem during growth which was due to overnute and the nutes were not organic)

Adult (Molasses added to the last feed then 2 times flushed)

Ashes to ashes dust to dust - After 75 days of flowering

Pre dry weight 100 grams (Actually did leave the bottom of the plant and there are some buddage still going on, possibly due to the early heavy defoliation, IE the plants got used to rough stuff).
Harvest party time!

Cooking trimmings

The remains of Apollo

Buddage

After drying weight 30 grams. The buds were very airy, so CFL in this instance does make airy buds.

Smoke Report:
Apollo was a very nice smoke have been toking basically 24/7 since the drying was done and with the curing it just keeps getting better. Taste initially was not too strong but the high was great. Very cerebral high and enjoyable, no down and very a energetic feeling. The ash was very pure so the flushing went well. Lastly would like to add that it really made me feel in the "mood". And overall some tingly sensation and general "cozyness".

Ultimately next harvest will be done faster and more efficient thinking about getting some more light going... We will see what the financials say.

Stay tuned for the 3 remaining plants
