1 x Super Lemon Haze {CFL}{Soil}{Indoor}{5gal}

Sweet! I’m using the same type of soil. Seems to be working pretty well. Good luck can’t wait to see what they look like when you start flowering.

@BladesOfGrass - Yeah, the soil seems to be pretty good. It ran dry of trace nutrients around 1 month in, as you'll see below.

Day 43:

Alright, we're back! Vacation was great. The person I left the plants too wasn't that great, though... He didn't water nearly enough (when I got back my entire 5gal + Hazel weighted maybe 1.5 pounds, or some amount that was REALLY LIGHT). Both plants also ran out of nutrients, and he didn't give them any, and I only started getting them on the nutrients with like a 1/8th dose.

Eve had about 6 dead leaves, and I had to trim them off. Hazel had a couple dead leaves, but since she was so large, it wasn't that big of a deal.

I gave both plants a good watering and gave them a good hit of nutrients (not quite full strength though).


Anyways, Hazel is doing much better after feeding. She is about 1 foot tall, and nice and bushy. Eve is doing meh, but again I don't give a shit about her.

Pictures! If anyone wants to see any from the past 10 days, just ask and I'll post them. Here are some pics I just took today.

1. Eve and Hazel
2. Hazel
3. Hazel's tops. She actually has 6 tops, but four of them are way more pronounced.

Thanks guys - here's some pictures from today!

Day 45:


Hazel is a beast. She's taking to the nutrients very well and her tops are growing up, up, up! She is growing probably just under an inch a day vertically, but is also bushing out too.

Eve is growing, but I think I am going to euthanize her. She is taking up valuable grow space, and I want to dedicate all of my resources onto Eve. What do you guys think? I might go plant her somewhere random outside far away from my house and just see how she takes it.


Anyways, pics from today:

1. both plants
2. Hazel

Cool but if you do, harden her off before putting her out for good. She'll go shock mode if you do. That one on the right is super righteous bro...

@SHOTTY6868 - Yeah man... I just put her outside, lol. I hope she pulls through, but I don't really care cause Hazel is my main girl. She looks better every day!!

Day 48:

Okay - it's Hazel on her own now. Eve was transplanted outside somewhere in the woods, and I will check on her once a week or two. I don't really care about how she does...

I was away on the weekend - Hazel was thirsty when I got home, so I gave her a bunch of ph-ed water (no nutrients). Here are some pics of her with no lights on her. She's a bit droopy, but otherwise healthy. Check it out!

Day 49:

She's perked back up, and looks quite nice! Take a look at this pic. I'm going to put her into flowering in 3-5 days from now.

wyteberrywidow - where can I see some pics of your SLH? thanks.

@Anthony6261 : Thanks man... I'll keep you posted - and now it's the exciting part!


Flowering Day 2 (Day 52):

Well, I put Hazel into flowering yesterday! I gave her a weak hit of part veg nutes, part flower nutes. My flowering nutrient mix consists of:

Flora Nova Bloom: http://www.generalhydroponics.com/genhydro_US/floranova.html

Monster Bloom:
http://www.grotek.net/products/guide/product.asp?code=monsterblo

Black Strap Molasses

Hydrogen Peroxide (very small amount)


In my first watering yesterday, I didn't add any molasses or monster bloom. I'll add that stuff in the weeks to come as Hazel transitions nicely into blooming.


Anyways, right now I have 7 * 42 W CFL's.

2700K: 5*42*~65 = 13650 lumens
6500K: 2*42*~65 = 5460 lumens

As she progresses, I will probably add some more 2700K 42W cfls.

Anyways, here are 2 pics - the grow box, empty, and Hazel that I took just hours ago.


Random question that's not really high importance - when will I notice the first signs of flowering?


Until tomorrow!

Flowering Day 4 (Day 54):

Hazel is growing well, and there's not much to comment on. If I look closely, I can see one or two small white pistils coming out on a bunch of spots on the plant, so that's good! She is definitely getting bigger!

1 Pic only for today - it's just to show the growth of hazel. I'll start to get some nice macro shots in the coming weeks...

Flowering Day 8:


Hazel is growing fast, and her stretching is now quite noticeable. Some lower leaves are yellowing, and a couple have fallen off, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. She is otherwise quite healthy! White pistils are now visible at most every node, although there are only a couple at each. In a few days I'll get a picture of up of something with pistils. For now, just take a look at the overall plant growth. It's going well!

A word about lighting: Right now the lighting is as follows:

All 42W:


3 side lights
1 random angled light
4 directy overhead lights
2 mostly top but slightly off to the side lights
__________

So I've got 10*42W cfls in there, or 27 000 lumens. As she progresses, I might add some more on developing buds.

Until next time!

Shotty, thanks for the encouragement! My updates have slowed to every 3 days or so, but really it's because I don't have enough progress for daily updates...

FunkyGonz, when I measured her today, from the base of her stem, I got 25-26 inches, so just over 2 feet. I'm hoping for some more vertical growth really, and seeing how it is only 12 days into flowering, I am pretty sure I will get some more.


Flowering Day 12 (Day 62)

12 Days into flower, and Hazel is looking nice. She's just over 2 feet tall, and around 2.5 feet in diameter. Like I said, I'm welcoming all the vertical growth I can get (aka another 12 inches and that will be enough lol).

I noticed some undergrowth near the steam was dying off (about 5-6 small-medium fan leaves), but I think it's just cause of the lack of light. I've got some side lighting, and I'll probably crank it up when buds develop.

Hazel is drinking about 11-12 litres (3 gallons) of water/nutrients about every 4 days now. I think it's a combination of her size, and the amount of airflow / temperature in there.

I've attached 4 pictures today. Two general shots, one of a top (not a main cola, but still nice), and one of the stem. Let me know what you guys think!

@wyteberrywidow - cool man, do you have a journal for it?

Flowering Day 18 (Day 68):

Sorry for the lack of updates. Really it's just been good solid growth.

The buds are developing well, and I can see the trichomes starting to become visible.

Anyways, just take a look at some pics. I think she's quite far along for only 2 and a half weeks into flowering!
