Lights out.. I took a few photos with my phone, which I think actually look better than with my big camera for the close ups.

Water and molasses last night. Yellowing seems stopped and contained to just some of the older fan leaves, no sugar leaves.

That is some SEXY Sativa 'erb man. Only problem here is it is not in MY tent. Edit: Not to worry about the yellowing on those fans, she was just a bit of an Mg-eater, no biggie at all, tons of Sativas do this, really nothing to worry about this far into flower.

Thanks MH, I have somewhat resolved myself to it just being how she is. For the 2 clones do you think it makes sense to pre-load the soil with a bit more dolomite? I think I did 3 top dressings of 1 tbsp (about 1x per 3 weeks). I was more concerned when I thought she may take 70-80 days in flower, but looking at her I am considering my next feeding to be her last, then just water and molasses.

shit looks dank as fuck. I would consider taking off a little nug, drying it, and seeing how it smokes lol =). I took a 4 day camping trip and just got back so my girl was missing me. She's got some new foliage showing after coming back. Had to take care of a few spiders on her but nothing crazy. Here she is hbbum, what do you think about harvest time maybe a few months? I think shes gunna be ready around November 1st if I can keep her from the frost at night =/.IMG_0708.jpgIMG_0710[1].jpgIMG_0712[1].jpgIMG_0714[1].jpg(Don't mind the thumbnail lol, my desktop somehow got attached to one of the photos...bastard)

She looks good, but still a ways to go. Will definitely be racing against the the weather I would think. I like the dragon sitting on your plant :D


I was actually poking around on the bottom of my plant to see if there are any nugs that I would want to pull for an early taste but decided against it. I only have a couple weeks to harvest, maybe I will sample some of the popcorn buds right after harvest but I am going to try to refrain from pulling anything early. I still have quite a bit from last harvest, I have no reason to pull any before it is done other than idle curiosity. That said, a lot can change in 2 weeks :D

The tops of the clones seem a little stretched from the LED, but I am not worried since I will be topping them within the next couple of days.

It rained for like 4 days straight here when I was gone man it wasn't pretty. The forecast looks sunny for the 5 day future so yay but you know the weather, the next day it'll be like rain accumulated overnight and we are going to get a major thunderstorm. God I am hoping she will last until November, that is when I am willing to bet she will look like any kind of harvestable bud. I might have to change her into an indoor crop if the weather doesn't start to pick back up. I think last year it snowed in November which blows because I am hoping for this plant to be ready around the 14th of nov which is my birthday. First grown birthday bud on my 21st birthday is what I am wishing for lol.

That looks real nice but I don't think I would want to spend the extra 20 bucks when I could just take her in during the night chills. She is only in a 5 gallon bucket and I really want to take advantage of the mobility. Would it be any difference if I just picked her up every night during sun down to bring her inside instead of her being in a mini green house every night? I mean, as long as she is getting 8-12 hrs of pure sunlight with some overcast, I don't think she will suffer or die instead of bringing her into a 70-65 degree house during the night hrs instead of a covering her during the night hours. Keep in mind I have a lot of mobility with this outdoor grow. I am taking advantage of the field I have in my front yard for 12/12. During early fall and later fall which would probably be near harvest with being able to take her inside during nights I am just wondering if I should get a decent harvest with this plant considering the disadvantages. I guess what I am trying to say in all is that...Am I going to be able to harvest some smokable buds that will get me high from this plant before the weather degrades the thc resin, voiding the plant "unsmokable"?

You will probably be fine, you know your situation better than I for sure. For $20 it seems easy and that way if you needed to go out of town or for some reason couldn't bring it into the house it seems like cheap insurance :) That is if you can fit within its dimensions.

I would also be concerned with the mold that might accumulate on the plant under some kind of hooded fixture. One of the early clones that I tried to grow from this plant got mold just from me putting a cup over the thing for like 3 days under a fluorescent so I had to get rid of it. I don't want my whole plant to get like that if it is already battling outdoor translucent spiders and shit. To buy a cover for it at night and then to see mold growing on the buds would really piss me off after spending money you know?

I just keep getting my buds and ppl chatting with me that it wont survive lol, you know being the pessimistic assholes friends can be. "that thing is gunna hermie, its not gunna survive" the usual bs. So rollitup is where I try and get the good advice hehe. Looking at her again today, I think she will be able to bud up a good amount. More than I have ever bought for sure! I think that only one of the tops are going to amount to about what I can get for 50 bucks in my area so that is good lol =P. I keep getting outdoor greenhouses linked to me but my problem is only nighttime chill so I am just going to bring her indoors when I see it get below 40 at night for now. As long as it isn't freezing temp during the day I think she will be good. I still have the whole month of September for it to pack on the buds and maybe even the month of October with climate maintenance. I have to say this is good practice for my first grow. If I get some seedy bud this winter from my friends I will definitely be sprouting the beans around April instead. the only reason I started so late with this seed was because I was in the middle of moving. =/ what are you going to do lol?
