First Grow!

No m8 I'm still on week 6.6 and 1 day.im not ready 2 harvest 4 4 weeks,although 2 be completely honest with ya,my northern lights grew so quick,(autoflower rem) it says on website something like seed 2 harvest 48 days,there's a fantastic thread I read by a guy called muddy and he give a detailed breakdown of the life cycle of an autoflower,u should check it out.and going by his life cycle thing,my northern light has always been a week ahead of were it should be,so back 2 my point,if I can harvest that plant a week earlier,then happy days.as I said yesterday,I'm staying away from alcohol,but we all need a bit of stress relief and having a smoke is 100% wot I want these days,the very thought of getting drunk again at the weekend and laying about hungover is just awful 2 me,so the sooner I get 2 start chopping,the frigging better.regarding drying,I've no experience in this field other than drying some bag dealer stuff in a kitchen cupboard overbite once.was speaking 2 cannafan about this this morning and he sent me a link 4 a hanging basket from Amazon,like a laundry basket that hangs from the ceiling,so I'm gonna do that and dry out in garage.as far as curing goes,I'll put the buds in a glass jar,but I'll be smoking it as soon as its dry 2 burn in joints ect.I'm a very impatient fella an no way on earth am I waiting more weeks 2 cure.I wouldn't care if it tastes like dogs dirt,as long as I'm baked after a joint or 2,I'll be 1 happy camper :thumb:
 
Hey VG,

Plants are looking simply awesome! You know you still have time to top that 2nd plant? You are still a couple of weeks from going to flower & she'll have more than enough time to recover. If you don't want to top it, FIM it and if your lucky, you'll get up to six to eight more colas!
 
Vg nice training plants looking good and healthy. You can too up to two weeks into flower, but you run the risk of the tops not getting very tall. I had to top at this time and ended up with 2 half inch tops right next to each other, kinda cool looking. I'm real happy to see this group of "newer" growers all banning together. Haven't really seen any 1000+ posters checkin in on these threads and all the noobs are making out fine that's the sign of good growers comin up.

I totally agree with the above CG, it's nice to have a couple of "New Growers" helping each other out. I mean, if someone is running into trouble or found something interesting, someone else might have read or researched it already and can pass that info on. There is a wealth of information here on 420, almost too much for one person to read.

Another thing that I like, is that our grows are so close together and we can share our plans with each other as to how we are going to go about it.

I have a couple of experienced growers following my journal & appreciate the advice that they give. It's invaluable, because they have been there and have done it.

Maybe, we should give our little group a name "Band of Brothers".
 
Sounds good! B.O.B

yea all these grows are almost perfectly on track with each other. Most have some in flower and about to flower and some seedlings behind those its awesome. I agree too much for one person to read. But together we will all continue learning from one other it's great.

looking nice mate, very nice, im thinking of getting a couple of autoflowers and sticking them straight in with the big girls under 12/12 se what happenslol, btw anyone know how to upload pics to my journal?
Thanks
 
Ganja.wot ever u do.DO NOT PUT AUTOFLOWERS UNDER 12\12.EVER.it must be 18 at a min.they won't grow proper buds.18\6 is the best.I've spent hours reading up on autos.please trust me on this.ull ruin those plants.I'm growing 2 now and 18\6 is working out grt.they flower automatically,so doing 12\12 is not good.they need as much light as possible.and a little dark.read muddys thread,THE LIFE CYCLE OF AUTOFLOWERS.they have such a short life compared 2 photoperiod plants,and yield is smaller.but the 1 thing I can honestly say is almost zero smell.my 2 anyway,northern lights and super skunk.I promise u m8,put them under 12\12 and ull end up with about 20 trams a plant,if that.regarding pictures,I'm in the same boat.my tablet won't do.I emailed 420 and they put some up 4 me.hope that helps,oh another thing,if u use a decent soil,no feeding autos until about week 6,and very small amounts,they don't like 2 much food at all.even in good soil they will burn a bit,but not 2 much.in fact use something like canna Terra and u shouldn't really need any nuts.:thumb:
 
hey BOB'S lmao ha ha ha :thumb:

cheers guys for your kind words :-) they are coming along better than i expected but that's cos i've had all the info i know from this site and all my queries have been confirmed by fellow growers like you guys. SABO has passed on lots of quality info and sound advice :-)

Can i still top them then ? what are the risks if there are any ? if so i might top the other PP and the mazar cos the mazar got lots of new growth underneath that needs exposing will have one cracking bush then,i mean don't get me wrong shes a corker now but with more light she will be great ! oo oo oo i'm all excited now ha ha ha :-)
 
top em mate itlle be alot better you wont just get 1 cola then you will a couple more, btw im doing all this on my phone can i still upload picture to my thread?
 
Sweet will do that first thing in the morning

Another question how many times should i top the one that isn't topped ? and shall i top the one that is already topped ? lots of topping going down ha ha ha ;-) i have read it is ok to top twice but also read that other people topped several times so am a little confused,oh and one more thing can i top any bud site or just the main one ?

Cheers guys VG
 
Hey VG, you can double top, wouldn't recommend more than 2 toppings from each plant, that's what I read. I don't know if you can top the pre-flower sites though, so when in doubt, don't do it unless a more experienced member can answer that.

You can re-top the one & top the other one tomorrow & just before she goes into flower, top her again.
 
Yeppers, thst is what FIM means! LOL I found this info for you.

"Once you have topped your plant(s) the younger shoots will rapidly begin growing. With the removal of the main central stalk the lower branches grow more.

Now each new shoot tip will essentially grow as the main stalk did, however the growth is not concentrated to only one central stalk. So as each new shoot grows outward new shoots will grow from each one of them stalks as well.

Therefore topping can be done again, and again, and as each shoot becomes a growing tip with other shoots forming down its stalk, it is removed. By completing these topping or pruning tactics, a grower can achieve any desired height, or desired bushiness they desire in their plants".
