Day 47 Tangerine Dream
BIG update
Thinned it out a little bit, getting rid of some yellowed leaves (normal) and snipping some big ones that were blocking out the light
Yumm
Frosty
What will it look like in 20 days?
Calyx zooms - resinous glands (hard to focus in with HPS so stfu)
Getting some nice evenly developed lower regions... Little nugs, but not popcorn
Added [another] 6 inch clip on fan to run 24/7 on low. I have it moving air around/on the cfl, and also blowing air up underneath the canopy. I can't control the humidity, it's around 54%. I might get a dehumidifier next time (perfect for curing though
)
I digress; I added the fan to have some air circulation in the middle up underneath the main colas - to prevent PM / stagnant air at night. Also I hope it prevents the CFL from making a hot spot near the bottom. Air is goood

Looking good buddy! Those buds are really starting to fatten up. I can't wait till you get to smoke them...

Thanks dude.. I really don't even care about smoking them that much... I just want to see them keep growing and get to their full potental..... Then, I GUESS I should cut them down
they are so pretty though............ I am interested to bust open that jar after 5 weeks of curing.... I give my home grown 5 weeks minimal to cure before I start dipping into it... I already have pleennnnty of other nugs - no reason to smoke them when they aren't at their full potental..I got the volcano, and the butane ready... I got volcano for NUGGETs (ground of course) and then Ill run the frosty trim into BHO and take dabs out of my hurricane with tinail
maybeee run like an ounce of nuggets to oil if I have enough/some popcorn_____
Day 49 (i'm putting my days occasionally in here to keep track of my days..

Congrats on yer grow so far...can;t wait for the smoke report.... How do they smell now? Tangeriny lol? Feels good to grow eh. Next time you should go for a SCROG settup with that strain/space. It'll save you room as well as yeild more. peace+rep

hey there express...Good to hear bout your SK.
Funny thing is I've chosen Reserva Privada Headband... aka the Sour Kush imposter for my next grow... going to do two plants SOG. under a 250w 6in cooltube. Veg to like 7-8 inches, topped... weave them through the screen...
I was thinking about doing 400w but I don't think it's the right time of year it's rather hot outside to be messing with a 400w in a 2x2x5... perhaps when the temps drop ill invest another $200 in hortilux 400w HID bulbs & ballast

Yeah
6 inches or so ... depending on your head room!
Look at mcgyversmoke's journal, he has a few TD's and more under a 1000w and he didn't have to mutilate his like I did (he has more head room)... his are tallll as fuck
I flipped at 7 inches and I was near 2.5-3 feet by day 17

Oh. Yeah then like 4 inches LOL honestly. You want this one to be manageable. It will get HUGE in flower, don't even worry about 'growing it out' in veg... just go for a decent root system then put it straight to flower... it will make one HELLUVA branch structure in flower even if there is like none in veg.
My tent is 5.3ft tall, and my light is nearly at the highest it can be... I mean I could zip tie it to the ceiling for 3 inches LOL but still.
I flowered at 7 inches, and by day 17 they were SO tall that I had to cut all my plants nearly in half to save the grow(so I basically topped EVERY branch at day 17 flower LOL)... it all worked out, and they kept growing and growing but finally stopped around day 33. If you look back into my journal, around day 14-18 you will see what happened!
