Day 12 Flowering

Day 12 Flowering

Here is my overdue update. I had 3 plants left in the 32 oz containers, but two were males. Leaving one lady, and her name is NL#10. Not the best of photos. Ill break out the tripod next time.

Some great beer cup ladies in here this round. Definately one of my fave threads and seems like each round is getting bigger and better with you guys entries. Been a bit busy this week so will get my pics up tommorrow. Peace

My 7 and 1/2 update (12-07-2012 - Middle of week 7 - Just before the first dark period.)

Here are the nicest plants:



(An extra 2 pics in my album here, due to 5 pics per post limit.)

A2 = Aurora Indica x (White Rhino (purple pheno) x Skunk#1 BX1)
B71 & B31= selected White Rhino (purple pheno) x Skunk#1 BX1 crosses
R3= Original White Rhino (purple pheno) mum x (high yelding cross)

So they are in flower starting now. No more foliar feeds. The pics above are made just to have a final "mug" shot of them before flowering. Good luck everybody!

Sorry to hear, LouDog420. Have you tried bottomfeeding? I've kept plants alive for long weekends and could probably go longer with larger tubs. How long are you going to be away?

 

[greenmatter]

i don't have to work out of town for 6 weeks! it is to late to get back in the game but at least the "sidelines" are at my house and not a hotel room ............


everyones' ladies are looking great this round! ........ this thread is still a good place to run out of rep for the day

 

[LouDog420]

10 days is a bit long with bottom feeding and no one to watch.... I've pushed 6 before they had sucked up their water and had to fill up a a tray pretty full with nute solution... Gotta hook up the blumats unfortunately, but I still have 4 in cups that have their own blumat. So I'm not out yet!

Of the 4, I've got 1 male, 1 herm, 2 unknowns... The other 4 are ladies and have already been repotted...

Cheers all!

Hey GM, sounds like we need to combine forces! I had the first half on lock down while you were out and about, and now need a sitter for mine!

Week 1 of 12/12

Week 1 of 12/12

Here's my 2 Blue Mystic x Ice. They're looking a bit sad but am having issues in my 400w flower room atm. Thought it was a problem with a deficiency but now thinking it's enviromental coz my beer cups are affected as welll as my white rhinos in hydro.

week #3 (12/12) - 2 cups female - 1 cup male

 

[John Deere]

...when is the end date? september 23 right?..

Yep, September 23 is the end date, which is 10 weeks from tomorrow. I've got it marked on my calendar.

Benjuan, it looks like a Magnesium deficiency to me. Do you have any idea what ppm of Mg your fertilizer is supplying? Id get your nutrient solution tested asap to be positive though.

I thought it was Mg- as well but tried foliar feeding for over a week and done nothing. Will get on Cannastats nutrient calculator later today and work it out.

I think you'll be better served with a soil drench instead of foliar feeding, but you've already figured that out by now. I hope you can get them on the right track soon.

Update time. I'm debating flipping to 12/12 today. BOG says 49-56 days and we've got 70 days left so I should have plenty of time. OTOH, I generally find breeder recommendations are a bit short for my preference and I don't remember how long I let them go last time. I'm leaning towards another week of veg but we'll see.

My flower cab is full so I set them up with their own T5 in a closet. First time I've run a full cycle with T5 so I'm interested to see how they'll do in flower.

Note that one of them has kind of funky curled leaves. I'm guessing it got a bit too close to the light because I see a similar look on the tips of 2 leaves on the biggest plant, too, but I'm not 100% certain. Anyone want to venture a guess?

 

[trichrider]

Dear John,
my guess is they look as good as mine...

 

[John Deere]

Thanks, tr. I'm not too worried about it but lots of folks around here are much better at diagnostics than I am so I thought I'd toss it out there.

I already decided to give them another week veg before the flip. Might as well use all the time I've got.

 

[Toes.]

Update # i forgot.

an exception to the biggest plants always being male is...

her exposed pistils make my stamen release some pollen...

my favorite all girl trio...

 

[Toes.]

I think this one is my last boy.

He's taking a long time to show. I think that's a good sign, for a boy...

If he does drop duster clusters, I think I might save him, he smells like lemons and has reddish petioles... then again.. I've got too many projects already.

keep your head up crew.

 

[GrowersUnite]

Small one is a boy, and then two girls. The cup on the far right is the one I posted on here. (all where 12/12 from seed)

Sorry for lack of updates..I just can't update a lot. I hope I don't get DQ'd

 

[apep]

Toes those are Nice! Looks great man! Hey everyone. Heres my update, things are still looking good gave them a little feeding of neptunes harvest fish, it greened them up a little.

Heres as good a shot i can get of them in the room. Made some nice spots for them.

There sticks, thought they would get bushier, next time I will top them.
