Thanks guys! I'm thinking about cutting her in 2 weeks or so, after I get a nice flush in.
That would come out to ohhh 62 days or so! Nice guess Meltingpot. I'll be back with more pictures soon.
By the way....Any tips on how to better ripen the lower buds? I've been letting her get "sideways sun" through a window the last couple days, and trying to hold off my urge to cut a little sample from a top bud, since that part is the most done.
Lol....it's hard to be patient when your at the end of your stash. Wish me luck!
Looking really nice Dr. Bloom.
62 days sounds ideal.
I'm growing this strain too atm & she's one of the frostiest plants I've ever seen (except online).
fwiw... I gave her a dose of Superbud at week 2 of flower and I think it set her back a few weeks because she's already at 68 days flower & looks like she could go another week and a bit.
Looking forward to seeing more pics of your F-13.
All the best.

Maybe ethylene gas? It's created by fruit (eg. bananas, apples, etc) as they ripen. This gas is known to hasten ripening.
You could try placing the fruit close to the lower buds during lights off (assuming you turn your fans down/off at night). Strong fans might dissipate the ethylene & this could be a complete waste of time... I'm not sure.
Just speculation on my part.
Good luck!
seems putting fruit in your grow area would
be a bigger hazard for pests... not a good idea
but a creative one maybe... i wish you
good luck on waiting until harvest is ready...
i know how it is to really want weed when
you run out, but it's always better if you wait.
may the force be with you and that lovely f13
Lol Beansprout...ethylene isn't a bad idea actually. Though I think grapepunch is right.....i'm sure i've got a couple fungus knats around that would love a nice apple.
AbbieDoobie i'm honored to get your Picture of the Month Nomination. My girlfriend took the picture and helps me with the grow, so she deserves most of the credit. The truth though is that older growers and smokers are some of my favorite people. They have taught me more about growing, and more about life, than any other group. Thanks.
Southern: Yes it's an Indoor Grow. I built a grow cab in my closet.
400 watts CMH for flower in 6sqft.
250 watt veg chamber.
I'm testing a bunch of other strains as well. you can check it all out in my growlog: http://icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=108274
Here's the flower side from a few weeks ago, i'll get an updated picture soon.
The F13's are currently being flushed, with plans to chop the tops (the lower growth isn't done, so the tops are coming off and the rest of the plant will sit in the sun to finish) this weekend. The flush is really bringing out the purples in the buds and leaves, as you can see. Every time I look at them they are more colorful, almost by the hour.
