and finally that brings us to today.....
at this point it is about 11 weeks since germination, 5 weeks since the beginning of 12/12 and an estimated 4 more weeks until harvest.

Hey Bud, plants look nice but you will need more filling in on the buds. There are some good posts if you search using harvest, cure ,timing and search the newbie central threads. I had the same questions and the info I found was real helpful

Gastanker · Apr 4, 2009

Lookin great mate but def give it some more time. I don't think you've hit the last 2 week swell yet. My buds almost doubled in size over like a 4 day period and thank my lucky stars I didn't try and cut b4 then.

rollingotties · Apr 4, 2009

true. thx guys for the advice, ill definitely look up for harvesting and curing and wait a few more weeks to chop. ITS SO TEMPTING THOUGH!!!

rollingotties · Apr 10, 2009

hey guys, got more pics. its been a while (about a week) and they have really grown!!! take a look and let me know what you think.

I finally got around to adding two more 23W clfs so hopefully that will help them out a bit.
also, just thinking ahead for harvesting, what do you guys think about selective harvesting? or should i just wait till the middle buds are good so that the cola will be just a tad past ripe and the bottom ones just a little before ripe?

~thx for the imput

rollingotties · Apr 14, 2009

So this time i got some good pics of the trichs and closeups of the buds.

see if you can tell the difference between the two plants!!!

rollingotties · Apr 15, 2009

hey, so i tried my best and got some pictures with my camera through the microscope of the trichomes of the plant which is further along in development. take a look!

also, i was just wondering if anyone has tried the 48hours of darkness before harvest thing?
i know its a simple technique but if i put both plants into 48 hours darkness, only harvested one, and then put the other plant back into flower untill its ready, would that have any effect on the flowering cycle of the plant?

comments greatly appreciated!!!

The camera is a 4 mega pixel casio with 3x optical zoom. the microscope i was using is the 60x-100x microscope that is $10 at Radioshack....

got another picture update. finally got out and picked up some bloom nuts, hopefully that will stop some of the fan leaves from dieing on one of my plants.....
so my estimated time of harvest seems to be very accurate (may 1st) for one of the plants, but it seems that the other is lagging (but has a shitload more trichs) and will need to be harvested at a later date.

so take a look and enjoy!

ActinUhFool420 · Apr 19, 2009

Good deal man. Ive been subscribed to this thread for a minute, and been watching it from behind the scenes. Nice Grow, bud looks amazing...

rollingotties · Apr 20, 2009

ActinUhFool420 · Apr 20, 2009

rollingotties · Apr 24, 2009

rollingotties · Apr 24, 2009

kk so ive run into a problem. IVE RUN OUT OF GROW SPACE!!!! idk what to do, if i should try and take the lights off the hooks and raise it another inch of 2 as a temp fix or start LSTing the plants or what....if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

here are images of the plant which is growing into the lights.....

rollingotties · Apr 24, 2009

here are some images of the plant which is not growing into the lights.
its interesting to see how two plants which came from the same bag seed grow up to become two completely different plants....

rollingotties · May 3, 2009

Just a few quick pics. purchased a 300W equivalent cfl yesterday and today is the first day with the grow. figured i would get some before pics to see if it makes that much of a difference......
