Heya,

Anyone got an idea on how long this sucker still has to go before harvest time?

Been vegging it under a 160W CFL and flowering it under a 250Watt HPS. Think it's in flowering for the past 5 weeks.

The white pistils means it is still growing. let i go for another 2-3 weeks. Get a microscope at radio shack and check the trichomes. They should be 50% cloudy and 50% amber.

I have the one thats 60x-100x it is a bit much but is still usable. They cost like 12 bucks at radio shack. If you read the online reviews on the radioshack site, its nothing but "BEST TRICH VIEWER EVER!" "I LOVE LOOKING AT MAH PLANTS WITH THIS!!!"
lol

By the way, I'm using a 250 watt hps, and I want results like yours. How big was your plant when you put her into flower? Just curious.

Hey meezy4tw,

Not really sure what I did right as I’ve farted around with her environment more than I care to admit being my first grow and all

I started growing it under 2 x 20W Cool white and 4 x 20W Warm white CFLs which I later changed for a 160W Cool white CFL.

Then flowered it under 8 x 20W Warm white and 4 x 20W cool whites for about two weeks when the plant reached a height of around 40cm.

After that I moved over to the 250W HPS under which it’s been ever since.

It’s growing it in peat moss and I’m feeding it banana and other fruit peels which I left rotting in a sealed barrel with some water and a little bit of lime. Mixing about a cup of that mojo with 5L of water and a little bit of molasses. “Finding descant nutes around here is as difficult as looking for hens teeth”

I’m also foliar feeding it every morning. Foliar feed mixture consist of water and a very small amount of molasses.

Right on, apparently my biggest porblem it seems, is not letting them get big enough before flower. I flowered my first ones at 8-9 inches. Makes sense.

Keep us updated, I want to see how the nugs turn out!

Hi There,

Been around three weeks since since I first popped the question... do they look any closer to harvest?
