Feel free to show her off buddy, it's an open thread =]
Here she is at 39 days old 12/12 FS , and 14 days since showing sex.
I snuck in a pic of her big sister that's 6 weeks 5 days flowering. Bag seed too.

Really nice plants. That's some serious bud on the older lady, how much do you think she'll pull?

Thanks
Probably 1.5 - 2 ounces. I have no clue really lol
I was only expecting 1 ounce so anymore than that is a bonus.

I also have transplanted my 3 seedlings into custom made 2litre(ish) pots. I cut the tops off of some 2litre bottles and poked holes in the bottom and wrapped them up in paper to stop light penetration. Anyone done this before and can tell me their outcome? Cheers.

I have a friend who does something like that...He uses a clear solo cup and then a red one on the outside so he can just pick the clear cup up to check his roots and then puts it back inside the red cup. The red cup keeps the light out to prevent the growing of unwanted molds/fungi. Not exactly what your doing but along the same lines. I believe he only does this with clones tho....interested to see how your girls do in the custom crib...:-P

So I'm approaching 10 weeks from seed(Monday 14th = 10 weeks)

I've started noticing a downward curl on the leaves and a slight burn on them too. I'm assuming it's nute burn and that I should hold off for a little and just water with tap water?

I would also like to remove the lowest set of fan leaves to help light penetration and air flow, would this cause the plant to stress and potentially hermie?

I'm also working on getting pics of my others that are currently growing, and they all look really healthy, especially the Lemon Kush which is going to have 4 tops! WHOOP!

Edit: I took first picture when the lights were on and before I could take the second, the lights went out, haha. So I just took 3 more pics and then locked up until the morning.

Looks like over watering, and maybe the start of a deficiency.

I may be wrong. lol

I thought perhaps over watering, but when I've seen over watered plants before, they've looked droopy and limp like this picture I found from google.

Mine on the other hand, look sturdy and strong, but for the curl on the upper fan leaves, which can be seen below.


The deficiency side I can go with, however, I am not entirely sure what deficiency it could be. I'm leaning more towards Calcium or Magnesium personally but I guess we'll see how she develops.

Anyway, I gave her a drink with fresh tap water which had been left to run before I bottled it up and left it for 4 hours to raise the temperature to room-ish temp.

Hopefully it will either work or help diagnose what the problem is. She's still growing well and she's super stinky too, it's like super sweet kush blend, it's very very pleasant. I'm getting to that stage where I just want to pick buds off but I must resist as it has a long way to go yet! Lol.

Well, I was under the illusion that my temperatures were fine, but apparently my digital thermometer decided to show a reading of 53.6 when it was blatantly obvious it was above that, more like 80.

Do you think it could potentially be heat stress?

Edit: The false reading was given last week and I haven't had the spare cash to get a new one at the moment.

So I'm getting some Epsom salts tomorrow as I've read this can help sort the mag def out, can anyone clarify this for me please? Thanks.

Also, here are some bud porn pics for you from my Cannalope Kush which is officially 10 weeks old today!

Some of the frostiest bud I've ever seen in person! Some of the pistils are starting to turn brown, so it's all getting exciting now!

Edit: I've ear marked the 11th of February as a potential harvest day for her.

Right, so I checked it this morning when I woke up and it hermied =[ I didn't get the fix in time. Oh well, first grow so it's all part of the experience! Plus it was a free seed.

I found it to be easy to grow apart from the magnesium deficiency, the hermie was my fault and I fully recommend the strain to all for growing.

I decided to weight up the bud I salvaged anyway and I got 6.3grams wet, so I'll probably just freeze it and make some hash or something. I looked at the trichs under a magnifying glass and I could just about see some cloudy trichs so we'll see what happens. I might just smoke the bud when dry or just bin it. Depends how I feel lol.


I feel I have unfinished business with this strain and will 100% be buying more seeds for it, I am determined to see what it finishes like!

All in all successful first grow apart from the hermie. It's all part of the learning curve I guess!

That sucks about the hermie, man.

Good luck with your other plants!
Cheers buddy. I'll not be posting updates until I start my next grow, I'm going to be completely upgrading everything so it's not so ghetto haha. I'll be getting another 200w CFL, red spectrum but I'll also be getting a few more low powered 6500k bulbs, probably a couple of 30w's or something. I'm also going to get that SunMate twin CFL reflector, as I still don't have one(money issue's). But that's all getting resolved in the next two weeks.

I plan to start vegging my next grows before flowering, so I can keep uniformed plants and hopefully they'll all stay roughly the same size. I may try a SCRoG but need a screen(easily obtainable).
I've got some strains lined up, in strawberry D-Lite(Sagamartha), Green Poison(Sweet Seeds) and California Orange(Dutch Passion), but the latter will not get bought if my Durban Poisons fail which are from Dutch Passion, I've read more bad than good about them so I am a little cautious.
