K, started flowering! Going 12/12! WiSH ME luck! Covered the window of my office, and doing my 12 of darkness at day in here. Man its dark! I hope to god the huge one is a female.. guys cross your fingers! The other 2 grew alot since I was gone... I went to the Kanye West, Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco, N.e.r.d. concert in Salt Lake for the past 3 days
I returned to some very very very perky and thirsty plants.
The other 2 they grew to about half the height of the large plant.. which is disappointing but more adequite for the lighting I have. If the large plant is female then i think I will do good.. Im hoping. I may try a dose of nutes 1 every 4 feedings... don't want to go overboard because the soil had a few months of nutes already in it.. or do you think the cannabis consumed em quickly? Other than that I am good to go and confident. I should have a decent harvest even if the smaller 2 plants double in size... I would probably get a half ounce to an ounce if I am lucky.. but who knows.. cannabis seems suprise people alot.
If god grants me like 2 1/2 ounces from all this I will feel reallllly good. Then will come the curing questions.. and I expect everyone to gimmie some input on their techniques and strategies
When I cut them down like how long should I hang em? I am hearing 3 days to a week, then chop and put them in a sealed mason jar, and burp the jar for a few minutes once or twice a day for a few weeks. I surely don't want to rush the cure.. I want some mellow smoke!
And flush with mollases I am hearing. Like a tablespoon or 2 per gallon seems to be the going suggestion I think on this site.. or maybe it was teaspoon.. I will check by the time flowering is done. lol. As you can see I am pretty stoked to be getting my own bud for the first time.. My last try didn't count.. I used sunlight and a decent sized pot.. what I got was less than an eighth of stretched and not cured long enough buds. ahahha Now I am fucking with CFL's, and now HPS.. I think I have come a long way.
Shit my friend came over (he recently did a window grow and got less than and eighth as well from his puny piece of shit plants lol) and he was flabbergasted by the size of the plants, the large fan leaves and the deep deep green color as well as the thick stalk of the larger plant. He is pretty excited too because I told him I'd give him a 1/4 to keep his mouth shut about it lol. He is pretty trustworthy though - we are both adults and he is like me I guess. So we are sitting here waiting for buds to show
Or at least some little pistils
I think there may already be some but I don't know..
When I put the light on later and I am able to check on stuff I will post some new decent pictures guys!
