I harvested my plants exactly 3 weeks after selective pollination of a handful of lower buds. Most sites recommend to wait 4-5 weeks, but my trichomes were beautiful, and I didn't want them to cloud up on me. Anwyay, all references say to let the seed ripen on the bud after harvest. I'm...

any update?

Here they are...Slow and steady...

Amazingly, of the 5 that survived my screwup at the beginning, ALL 5 were female! Good luck to ya Boosh. I'm sure with some TLC they can perform much better than they have with me.

Dammit...I've been browsing other grow journals, and clearly mine is waaay behind the curve. Some people are nearly ready to harvest by this time, but I'm looking at 2-3 more weeks the way I see it. I'm going to finish it out and see what I get, then make some major overhauls of my system...

I can't say for sure, as my electricity meter reading is estimated every other month. I suck at calling in the exact reading. Here's a great resource to check though. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/3284-power-consumption-light-cost.html

Thanks pink. I've learned soooo much with this grow. I can't wait to get it right the second time around!

Here they are on day 42. Buds are growing nicely. I had to tie the tops of the taller plants down to get them out of the light (that's what the red twine is for). Next time, I'll try SCROG or SOG, as making these tweaks during flower is probably less than ideal. No clear sign of trichomes...

Hey man, Plants are looking great! I started mine right around the same time as you, but made a LOT of mistakes along the way. I'd say my plants now, at d35 of flowering, look more like yours did at day 20. It's good to see what mine could have been at this point, but now they're coming...

Boosh, you are growing these outdoors, right? I took a couple clones for this purpose, but need to wait some time before they're ready for mother nature to take care of them.

Thanks man. I'd say my plants are more comparable to ~20-25 days flowering. It took me a while to optimize night time temperatures, and I didn't even see sex until around 20 days in. Your plants at day 35 should look much more developed than mine. Cheers and good luck.

Quick update for the record: I switched straight back to the normal 12/12 cycle (nervously). Fortunately, this little snafu didn't screw anything up, as 5/5 plants turned out female.

Hey Pink, Once again, my hos and I thank you for saving them. I've attached a pic for your viewing pleasure. This is one of Bertha's nicer buds! In response to your question, I don't think 250w HPS is too much. I have 1000w in a space smaller than that! But, I also have it venting with a...

Finally got myself a camera to use temporarily. It's been QUITE a while since the last photo update! ALL 5 plants are female. Bertha is the furthest along in terms of budding. I believe it's Kitty who is the slowest. While I was gone, the two tallest grew into the light a bit (actually...

Well, I just got back from my ski trip yesterday morning. This left the plants unattended for 8 full days. Results? My wicking system worked! It was completely dry when I got home, but the plants were alive and...OK. The most recent leaves to sprout were really stringy and thin. I assume...

Wow, constant connection to this site? I'm both jealous and grateful, as I probably would accomplish zero work. Speaking of, I have an exam tomorrow! And I haven't even packed for my trip! Back to the books...

If I had an ex named Bertha...That would probably date me quite a ways back! Are there any Bertha's out there? I can't say I've ever met one. If you are out there, I really like your song. The naming is based on the imaginary personalities my girls have taken on. Bertha's the fat one. haha.

hey pink. Thanks for getting me off my ass! Bertha, Jaime, Britney, Hayden, and Kitty will be thanking you in their next 8 lonely days. Screw that...they have each other, I'M the one who's going to be lonely! Well, at least I can shoosh my sorrows away... Looks like Elizabeth is shaping up...

How right you are...So, I was trying to scrounge up as many 2L bottles as I could find, when I stumbled across a roll of nylon rope. A light bulb went on, and I remembered about the WICK method! Perfect for me, I have a tupperware bin that's almost identical size to my grow room. So, I stuck...

haha. okokokok mom! I wish my mom was scolding me into doing this!
