Northern Lights CFL + LED Closet Grow Started 2013-01-02

With 2 onces per plant I would be really satisfied with this grow, it started so bumpy and I made so many errors that I was thinking at some point that I would not get anything from those 2.

well go look at my harvested journal. i pulled 30 grams from one plant and 20 grams from another. they were 12/12 from seed, low light cfl until week 5 of bloom. it took 3 weeks for first pistils to form, and then another 10 weeks from there for a total of 13 weeks of life.

U mean grams.... or I call serious bullshit lol

 

[b.real]

sorry, yes grams haha. i said i pulled a total of 45 grams becuase i deducted stem weight.

I've just noticed something wrong with plant B, it looks to have some kiind of deficiency or abundance, I really don't knoe, it seems in early stage but I could be late.

I've got some comparison photos between the two plants to help see what I mean.

You can see on the first one that the top leaves tips of plant B look "spiked". It's in the red highlight. There is also something on the pistils, Impossible to see on the photos but the tip of the pistils on plant B look dried or brownish. Do someone know what that problem could be?

Left is plant A and right is plant B.

Thanks for your help guys!

cannabis leaf margins vary klang. Probably just genetic variance. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[b.real]

thats just phenotypic variation. the pistils colors will change throughout bloom. no worries here..

 

[klangelier]

Maybe I'm just paranoid! But plant b really looked a bit sad yesterday evening, will keep watching closely in the next few days.

Thanks for your help guys.

Here is just a closer look at main colas flowers to compare.

Plant A : pistils look better.

Plant B : pistils look a bit damaged.

If anyone sees something maybe wrong, give me a whack!

Maybe??? The many times up-curling of leaves is a sign of respiration. My outdoor plants have lots like that now it is getting warm...Good airflow and the right amount of humidity is essential... Your plants look very healthy to me...Stress is not good my friend, relax, have a toke, and watch your girls do their thing. I too have stressed in the past because I knew I was going to be out of meds and wanted the girls to finish sooner...you suffer the possibility that your plants won't reach their full, mature, potential if you rush the process. Been there, done that! Good luck and remain vigilant!

Fuck! Paranoia has taken control over me. Thanks hozona for opening my eyes to my condition. Think I'm going to go relax a bit in the shed... ))

 

[Hozona]

There you go! If it's not life threatening, it's not worth stressing about.

I think being paranoid means your a good Dad. But too much of a good thing.........

So we are now at the 15th day of flowering and as you all said, everything looks fine and both girls are blooming at a good rate.

Not sure if my watering/feeding way is really the right way even if I am having success right now with it. Plants are in 2 gals pots and I water them every 3 days right now with 1.5 litres each, I get some runoff and refill a bit the bottom reservoir when it's dry, like once a day. Plant B last time was probably just a bit thirsty because as soon as I gave her something in the bottom, everything was back to normal.

They are now the same height : 44 cm.
Here is some visuals of both plants together ans also some flowers!
Plant A 90 days and B 81 days.

looks like you are feeding almost perfectly, but a little heavy. nothing to change. you can tell by the color. how much are you feeding and how often?

 

[klangelier]

I did flush when switching to 12/12 and feeded them 3 consecutive times with full dose from that time. Then, last two waterings were without nutrients. Think I'm going to go 1/2 dose possibly next watering. But without food, they seem fine right now.

Here is a little display of bloom progression for both plants for the last 8 days.

Thanks wildbill38!

I have now just watered them again without nutes and I am posting a little bit of bloom and freeze pics!

Both plants are now on day 17 after switching and 13 days in bloom. I am seeing some "frost" around the blooms! Very exciting time.

Here's the pics:
