[Neptune]

Thanks flowernose, good to know she looks normal, i think i won't mist her with water now then as i don't want to create any problems when she seems to be growing ok lol, next picture update will be on the 27th, she turns 2 weeks by then, so will daily photo unless any problems arise of course then ill be running here like a mad man!

Hi all today my plant is now 2 weeks old! she's really grown alot, and more so today on the 14th day feels like she's had a growth spurt.

no problems to report all seems well, oh ... today she started having a very small hint of a smell of weed aswell! which is surprising for only 14 days :O

heres some pics.


Day12;

Day13;

and finally today..Day 14!

What do you guys think? does growth speed seem normal for this stage and my power lights? any comments welcome

oh yeah, when is she not considered a seedling anymore?

oh yeah, when is she not considered a seedling anymore?

I think in general I heard it's 1-1-2. One month seedling, one month veg, two months for flower. That's very generalized. It will of course vary some with strain and methods. But that's for photo periods.

Hi everyone sorry for the wait, it's been abit crazy in my world lately, but the good news is the plant is still alive and well.

She's alot taller now and some sidebranching going on the plant smells alot more now and theres been some roots coming out of the bottom of the pot which im told is okay ?

There is some yellowing on some of the leafs from a couple of week ago when it touched the light, so im not to worried and the problem doesnt seem to be getting worse so keeping a eye on it.

There is some what i think calyx? areas or something, they look female to me all pointy they showed around week 3 but they havnt grown any pistels yet so hopefully they do. it's a feminized seed but i can't help but worry about it..

today is DAY 25! so we're only 3 days away from being on week 4 so i was expecting white hairs by now is this normal that i'm not?

here is a picture from today;

i feel abit inferior compared to some peoples plants ive seen at this stage, but for my setup i can't complain! i just hope i see some pistels soon!

Also i've just ordered some Grow nutrients, and will get some Bloom in a few weeks, is it too late to be using grow?

 

[comfy420]

thanks for dropping by my journal, I saw in your signature that you also had a CFL grow with similar CFL wattage so I'll follow along as well. I also have a Northern Lights Auto but i'm not sure if i'm going to grow that or one of the other 3 types of seeds I acquired.

Good Luck

 

[Neptune]

Thanks comfy420 good luck with yours aswel i am keeping a eye on yours too

Hey guys mini update;

Sort of big actually!

Here she is at DAY26

as you see she is getting quite tall now, and shes almost 2feet tall!

also i think the plant heard me yesterday because i was wondering when she would show me some pistals, and low-and-behold today she didn't disapoint!

yay!, well..... atleast i think its a pistal? lol. what do you guys think??

also if it is, does this mean shes now started flowering, or shes in early flower, *shrug*

 

[nobodyhere]

yep, looks like the beginnings of flowering....

 

[Neptune]

Good to know i get my grow nutrients in the next few days, would it be a bad idea to start it now? not sure if its safe to use for 1 week then switch over to bloom nutrients

 

[comfy420]

Plant looks good
I was wondering are you going to let it keep growing straight up like that or do you have height constraints in your grow space?

I'm probably going to need to keep mine a little more low and bushy compared to yours.

 

[Neptune]

thanks comfy, yeah i think i might just let her grow, she doesnt have height restrictions unless she decides to grow more than 6foot, to be honest i was surprised at her height as i always thought nl auto was primarily a indica strain, i guess this one has a sativa ancestry! in a ideal world i would of prefered her smaller but i can't really do alot since the main stem is very thick already

I skipped Grow. I went straight to feeding Early Bloom after seedling stage. Around week 5 I switched to Late Bloom.

 

[Neptune]

thank you for the tips flowernose, and i want to apologise to anyone following along for the delays, i have been caught up in a world of fantasy lately and real life (not much differnce) i got high and ..well you know how it goes guys, anyways tommorow i will provide a update on how things are going with our plant and what i have been doing with it also seeking some advice tommorow if things dont go to plan...she was drooping abit today so i watered her.

 

[comfy420]

it helps the getting high part if you don't have any while you're growing it like me

 

[Neptune]

Hi guys well again a delay, been very busy again my apologies, so if anyone is still around here's an update lol

Today marks week 6 / day 42

I have been giving her bloom and grow nutrients, but i've now stopped the grow and only giving the bloom because she's already got lots of pistols and she's really tall already and don't really want her growing further if possible.

here is a picture taken today on day 42 :

possible problem here? the upper leaves seem to be sagging and don't look very happy...

here's a picture of some of the pistals that have turned colour already, is this normal at this stage? majority on the plant are white though...

as you see she's quite tall, i'm pretty happy so far but i do have concerns about the drooping leaves at the top, which is strange since the rest look fine, there is some yellow on a few tips , i think it could be the bloom nutrients i might have to cut back on them soon?

the good news is she's still alive!.. oh yeah what i find strange is she was smelling super strong a few weeks ago and now the smell is no where near as bad, which i find strange, or maybe im just used to the smell? lol

Oh yeah i had to remove two of the leaves at the bottom, not the smallest one they were kind big, but they turned completely yellow and came off with practically hardly any effort.

what do you guys think? comments welcome

 

[Neptune]

Hi everyone heres a update on the grow, so some of the leaves are still drooping a little but i don't think its a major concern as everything else seems fine, i flushed the plant with just water incase it had too many added nutrients from the grow and bloom a few days ago, and began using just bloom again, i'm thinking of stopping the bloom nute next week.

the plant has got very big now its litrally outgrowing the cupboard height wise- and i've had to attach some string to try stop it falling over.

It is now DAY 49 /week 7!

here is some pictures

There is alot of bud sites now, so hopefully that means alot of weed! - they havn't filled out yet mostly white hairs but i do see calyx's swelling more on some parts of the plant and some sugar leaves , a couple of them have started forming what looks like sugar on the leaves aswell, which surely is only a good sign.

Comments welcome, hope life is good on your end guys!

 

[comfy420]

Haha this is why LST was invented that thing is growing like a weed... I was wondering if it was going to outgrow your space... You could always start to try to keep bending new growth at the top over to keep it from growing taller.

Looks good though and huge i'm sure you'll get much buds from that.

 

[Robbo94]

Looking good buddy

 

[Neptune]

hi guys

you did indeed suggest it could outgrow the space, which i was confident it would not, oh how i was wrong haha.

I agree LST is something i agree is a must if growing in a cupboard in the future lol, i am going to try some form of LST, but i'm not confident in my abilities..scared to mess something up, i will stare at it (again) for awhile (again) and try and figure something out.

thanks comfy hope your right and we get lots of bud


hi robbo , thanks man
