U mean horizontal, ha. I put her vertical for heat reasons, ease reasons and yeh. She actually works surprisingly well vertically, a lot better than i expected. It makes a noticeable difference on the canopy, maybe it doesn't show well in pictures.She looks rediculously good, but see if you can get the CFL vertical.
Too bad she's so yellow so early, but it'll work out nice in the end.
I'm having the same issue, I blame the new dirt I goit.
You plant looks so good, I'm jealous.
You'll have a healthy harvest
The yellowing i'm not at all concerned about. In fact on my last grow, 1/8 branches on the sour diesel began yellowing early on, more than the rest, this branch ended up producing the biggest cola. I blame this yellowing down to root issues. As soon as i've transplanted her she's looked miles healthier. Most the yellow growth has gone and there's just a bit in the middle now. The tops are still growing very nicely and large, and green! I don't think this little hick up will effect her yield at all.
Anyway thanks for the support
Oooooh yes
Next 2 weeks should be interesting!Man I want to see those buds swell!
I was taught not to count my chickens before they've hatched..... or something like that..... u get the idea. I'm not gona get my hopes up just for them to come crashing down when i run into overcrowding issues. Thanks for the optimism tho!ҖҗlegilizeitҗҖ;6581583 said:
I agree its helping but i can't really prove it. It's not really visible in the pictures but the leaves seem to be leaning towards it as if they're loving it. I wouldn't say the buds are bigger or anything. I would say however that so far i can see a mix of bud sizes, ranging from bigger than average to average, depending on what generation of branching they're coming off.
I think so too! Haha. Yeh its not completely passive, i've got a 4" inline fan sitting on the left side of the reflector that helps to suck air out the cab and blow air over the bulb. Makes life for the RVK extractor easier too. Without this inline i wouldn't be able to have my reflector so low. I could even lower it further by another few inches but i dont want to compromise on light spread or even risk burning the tops.
I've considered waterfarms before, but i'm not growing for profit, but free quality smoke. Speed of growth isn't really an issue as each harvest will last me long enough, unless i do another 13 week Veg! Therefore the main advantage of a waterfarm is taken out the equation. I go for soil for the terpin development.
She's growing noticeably faster since the transplant. I reckon if i'd done it earlier i could've saved around a week.
Those chocolope plants look damn good. Buds look super tastey! Got some nice chunky cola's. Try and get some close up shots of the bud at lights off if u can, wana see some frost! Whats up with the leaves? When'd u have nute burn?

- Starting tomorrow i'm gona cut back to weekly updates, but, i'll also upload really good resolution pics so u can properly see the canopy and buds ect.
- Todays foilar was with Florigen and Organic B. I think the plant is starting to smell a little bit, hardly anything though. Any minor scents are masked by the Foilar feed which stinks big time. Still she looks like she likes it so i'm gona keep it up for as long as possible. Foilar feeding with bottled water also so should be no PH issues, she should be getting the best.

Lookin' thick already.
My yellowing issue has fixed itself too.
And funny that you mention it, because I also believe it was the roots establishing themselves.
My little clone is pumping out dark green sativa fingers, and I never added that extra N to her food.
Are you over fertilizing?
I notice a lot of the leaves curling to the right or left like bananas.
This happened to one of my super stunty dwarfed plants, it was a male so I never full-flowered it,
but it was definately not unhealthy.

I think if you mounted the cfl horizontal it would be more effective. Cfl light diminIshes very very quickly

Yeh considering i'm organic and the yellowing was different to yellowing i've had in the past, i concluded it was a root issue, not solely a deficiency.
Glad to hear the clone has taken off, remind me the strain, i have trouble following so many ppl.
Definitely not over ferting, the leaves that are curved at the bottom of each pic is most likely due to the doors bending the leaves over either left or right. Any other curved or bent leaves are due to being tucked in the way they are to expose lower bud sights. I'll get some pics of the new growth on the side with the lights off, looks real nice and healthy, quite a lush green if i remember correctly.
Haha, i still like mario, i actually wana grow out a male plant just to see what its sayin. One day when i got the space and i start my breeding career...
It's sitting real close to the canopy and the mylar on 3 sides of the bulb really isn't far, believe me. Might look bigger in the pics or something i dunno. I don't want to hang it horizontal due to heat issues. When i did hang it horizontal last time i could notice the heat near the bulb a lot more than i currently can, in fact i can't really notice it at the moment. As i said it is effective, and its more noticeable in person. When horizontal it blocked air from the green fan reaching parts of the canopy and all sorts, was a general hassle but i did give it a go.

My lemons was the only plant ive grown that really smelt nice in veg, its weird the veg smell reminded me of coffee shops in amsterdam...
Anyway good luck with urs, she sounds like she's a little soldier!
Thanks dude appreciate it. I want this bitch to be famous! The transplant looks like it went better than alright, minimal stress during and she looks much much happier after!I'll say it again mate, one of the best plants I've seen. And you're establishing a very nice technique here. Congrats
PS. Glad to see that the transplant went allright.
WOW ur lack of presence here has not gone un-noticed, but glad u popped by eventually, as u said, just in time! How's uni and all that goin for u? What were u studyin again? Theoretical physics or sumthing like that! My halls at uni was run like a concentration camp, wudnt b surprised if urs did a bit of sniffing.
She's a large lady for sure, but its the start of week 4 today, think she's gona start packing on the weight very soon, specially at the rate she's growing

Always nice to hear lol. its goin real well thanks, the workside is tough but the lifestyle is the shit as im sure you know. yeh theoretical physics, not much of a cosmologist but loving the avy! yeh its pretty similar, room checks etc. Ive got a pretty good stash place though so nout to worry about.
yeh you expecting 9/10 week flower on her? cant remember the genetics she looks more satty leaning. Going to be a delight come harvest thats for sure.

13-14 week veg, she's about to start week 4 of flower. I vegged till i pretty much filled the screen.
The kinda unique thing about this scrog is its this dense without actually topping a single branch! Just sheer LST'ing. Whilst doing maintenance to her during her veg days i did take a head or 2 off by mistake, but tried avoiding topping at any cost.
Sounds good, standard uni life. Yeh I'm quite into my astronomy and astrology (still don't know the difference between the two though!). Tryin to get hold of a £800 telescope at the moment, my current one's not quite cutting it these days. Only really want to see the moon in insane detail, had a fascination with it since i was like 5, haha.
My stash spot at uni which held Oz's at a time has never been discovered to this day, i had an en-suite room which had a raised shower cubicle, plenty of space underneath for storage. So i ripped the wooden skirting off, stashed all illegal things there, put the skirting back, and put a short temp screw to hold it in place so if it got kicked it wouldn't fall over. I also had regular inspections, my shower broke and had to get fixed by maintenance guy, no1 ever batted an eye lid. That was in my 2nd halls. My first halls my room got raided by police, they ripped up the carpet, the bed, searched all my clothes in my wardrobe.... but never looked in my printer! thank GOD. haha
I was expecting a 10 week flower, but ive heard ppl letting her grow up to 14 weeks! So i'm just gona hav a look at the trichs near the time, and general maturity look of the bud. She's actually started flowering much earlier than my past grows as far as i'm aware, which makes me think she'll also finish early, even as early as 8 weeks, i duno. Harvesting her is gona be a huge problem as there's a little window where i'm not in the country. I could harvest her before i go but then i gotta make sure who-ever i leave em with dries and cures it all properly, which i doubt they'll do. Very few ppl are as anal when it comes to their plants as i am! I want shit done properly, especially after puttin all this time nd effort into her to make her as good and tasty as possible. She def has more sativa influenced characteristics.

Thanks, she certainly is.
Today is Day 11, and her bud 'popped' open with hairs overnight.
She's officially in flower.
And the stretch is almost over.
She went in at about 2.5" I believe, and I'd say rough estimate she's around 5" right now.
I'll measure all that shit on Day 14.

Haha i share the same fascination but cant say id be willing to part with £800 to see it for myself! fuck that would scare the shit out of me. in mine she came in and looked around a little but i smashed my face in the night before on a tree and told her i got beat up so she had pity on me and gave me a perfect report lol. mightve helped that I was only in my kegs!
Damnnnn, 14 weeks, thats nevs haze territory haha. I was in the exact same situation man, I would let her go a little longer n harvest her yourself. Youll probs be in the flush phase so you dont have to worry bout them burning them etc. just my .02 mate.

Yeeeh, see i'm trying to get it as a present, haha. Sadly i do not have 8bills to invest in such an interest. Haha yeh they're usually cool unless they're suspicious for some reason of something. My block just happened to b the one that perpetually stunk of ganj.
My super lemons went 14 weeks man! Not really quite sure why i let her go so long.... but yeh i completely agree with u, thats been my plan so far, i'm tryin to get things set in such a way that i'm away over the flush period, any 1 of the ppl left in my house can pour water into a pot, its not theoretical physics eh?!
Saying that though i fucked up AGAIN over the past couple days. Just realised. The lights and the fans are on 2 separate timers, the difference in their synchronisation which must've been about 5 mins or something has resulted in the closest set of leaves to the light going bright yellow! I concluded it was for the above reason as its only on the top most leaves that have been "bleached" if you like. Its only on the leaves directly in the light, ones under them are fine, even if they're directly under the yellow leave blade. Ooooh well. I've set the timer on the fans to stay on an extra hr either side of lights coming on and off. I actually thought this might happen like 4 days ago and before fiddling with the timer i smoked a spliff nd forgot all about it! Fucks sake! Hopefully she'll recover by next update and those who don't read the posts and only look at the pics will be none the wiser! haha
Come again?
