I would agree Micro Grower if Arch had not been Making It Rain for most of Babygirl's flowering time. By Making It Rain, he has continued to flush the nutrients out the soil every time he feed his plant. So depriving Babygirl food for 2 whole weeks would cause her to have a deficiency in nutrients. Check out Calling Noobs.

Preach it :clap: I flush and feed my plants everytime they get aqua. So I will feed them until I chop them!

Arch! Sup dude! Whew! I looked at your new pics and almost reached for a bud off your plant!! :) Looking super duper awesome bro!!! Wow. Excellent work brother!!!
I am betting your get at least 1 1/2 oz. of her dry. I think you have an eight on each cola from the "looks" of it. Wet. So take all those sweet looking cola's and dry em out, and viola! Some seriously awesome buds!!!!!!!
My harvest is almost ready for a smoke report, another week or so. She is in the "hay" smelling phase of curing right now, so another week or so. Check it out later on when smoke report gets in if you want.
Great Job Bro!!! Impressive!!
Peace :)

words cant express.....
Im hoping that I will get so high on her tat I wont have words either..lol.

arch, she is looking fantabulous! (note that i don't normally use that word). i'm sure she feels relieved to have the restraints off, to the extent that plants can feel that type of emotion. i'm very curious to know how much if any vertical stretch (or unbending) you get in the last couple of weeks....how tall is she now from the soil level to the top of the top bud?

also, based on my first grow, i'd recommend one week of flushing, not much more. because of mis-planning, i flushed my sour diesel for 2 weeks and it was too much, she was starting to suffer the last several days of nute deficiency. just my opinion, may depend on a lot of factors.

beautiful pics, man. you got a frosty bitch on your hands :)
Thanks man..means a lot. I am chomping at the bit to get this one in the bag. I have been flushing her since CHIEF did the rain dance and enlightened me to the path of excess moisture..lol. I think one week should suffice. Currently my girl is about 9-10 inches tall from the top of the pot. Thats about maxxed out for me..I have about 2-3 inches left to work with. I am currently looking for pots that are shorter with the same capacity so that I can get more plant height.

dam bro, very nice!! not bad for a first grow!!
Thanks CD! Shes not near as big as your girls...she told me she could be but I held her back...lol.

YES They talked about it for like 2 pages straight hahahaha
Arch your cabinet setup looks really good, I'm a bit late for posting something like that about the cabinet but i forgot how it looked :o Loving it though
'BabyGirl' is looking fineeeee, i'd tap that ...just sayin'
Appreciate it millyy...my next grow will have improvements on this current one for sure. Ill have another thread going as soon as this one is done.

lookin friggin great... your lady has the stretch i hoped for in mine for sure... i may have to get some nl#5 beans...
I am hoping that NL's are all that I have heard. I am looking for some serious smoke...lol.

Thems the $$$$ ones aint they?
They were around 45 buck for 5 seeds.

Good stuff man
yeah buddy!

Hey Millyy, you are a nut:) Laughed my ass off!

Hey Arch, Babygirl is looking all frosty and sexy. I have to agree with Homer on the flushing for 2 weeks especially since you have been Making It Rain for awhile. My suggestion and I plan to do this myself, is to continue making it rain until the last week you plan to harvest, then just flush with water and molasses.
Thats about what I have planned. I keep checking trich development and so far that are clear. Another week will tell the tale.

lol all I could say when I looked at your pics arch was "WOOOOOOOOOOW....." she has really fattened up hasn't she?! I can only hope mine will look half as good, great work!
LOL shit she can get fatter for all I care. I want this girl to come out of the cabinet mooing. I want a hefer harvest.

New pictures again! I rained in her this morning and gave her a feed afterwards of nutes and molasses. Its hard for me to see any difference in her bud size every two days. I may just update every four days but who knows. She seems to be doing well. No complaints from me. I put her back into restraints, she was continuing to move farther into the lights. I am still thinking that she only has about another 2-3 weeks till harvest.

Enjoy!

how are the tichs looking?
As far as I can tell through my 30x loupe, they are still clear. I have a 60x loupe on the way and will be able to tell better when it gets here. I am withing 2-3 weeks from harvest I believe.

the plants look awesome, very close my friend :clap:
Thanks gumball. I fed her today but I think thats the last feeding...from here on out its flush, then ph water with molasses.


I am excited to see your final yeild numbers on that big bitch.
Me too...but frankly I will be happy to bring any yield home. Thanks!

While it's nice to have lots of people to pat you on the back, I bet no one is prouder of Babygirl than you!! So when you want me to build that tent for you? People are going to be expecting big things from you now that you have a successful grow under your belt ;)

Yo Arch, Babygirl is so frosty, I love enlarging your pics to see all that frost on those colas. I can't wait to start my NL grow:) I said 2 weeks more!

hey bro, thats alright, you got a great plant and you should be very proud of it!! real nice man!!
I am man...I will use extrapolation to imagine how much I would have gotten with more plants. Just getting this first one so far has been a ton of fun, a big learning experience and I am happy as a pig in shit about it. I read a thread from hoppes about getting 2.5g per watt. Thats my goal. Not sure if I will make it but I am trying.

Your so close to harvest i think we are around the same time actually, can't wait to see how much you yield from that monster though! Good luck man!
Thanks millyy..same to you. You really gave Lucy what it took to make her grow the way she did. Great Job!

Love IT!!!! Your last picture looks like a forest! Good Job
Its is a forest....Its a Christmas tree forest for mice..lmao.

I am happy for all of the support Meta! I have done my due diligence so far and all of the RUI folks have a big part in my success so far!

Nice CHIEF..how do you enlarge them? As for your NL grow...I can only imagine what you will do..lol. I love her sweet danky smell. Its so cool to walk into my man cave and smell her before i get to her cabinet. I close to ong gel every so often to give myself this little gift..lol. if i have it open I cant smell her.

Hey Arch, I click on your picture then hold the control key and click on the + key several times to enlarge your pictures. You can really see frost on your colas and leaves. Those leaves would make some nice hash:)

Hey folks. Took some more pictures this morning. Despite my increased feedings she is still yellowing but then again she is only 1-2 weeks from getting chopped so I am not sweating it much. This just means she is really hungry..haha. I started to notice some trichomes that are starting to darken up. Less then 10% I would say but she is definitely going to get harvested soon. I am thinking that after another week it will be day by day. I am hoping my 60x mini microscope shows up by then. But this 30x is working well enough that I can see whats happening. She seems to have taken on a little more weight. Those buds are tight...no fluffy shit going on with them. I pinched one slightly and came back with nicely sticky finger tips and she didnt give in at all. She has nice dense buds. her smell has gotten even more funky..used to be slightly sweet but she has a real funk to her now. I cannot wait to smoke her.

Enjoy the pictures!
