i think i have figured something out. i have never flowered with fluorescent lights, other people are saying it delays flowering times. that would explain why your plants look only to be 4 weeks along to me. if you harvested right now you would only get light airy buds and not much of it after drying. at this rate your plants may go 90 days. i would set your timer to 18/6 now if you have not already.
Well we couldn't help ourselves considering it is 4/20 so we cut a little bud and used the microwave steam quick dry method and tested it in a vaporizer. I have to admit we were quite surprised. The taste was not bad and it was a really nice high.
We cut the lights out and have flushed with ph balanced water - hoping to harvest soon - today it has been 77 days since she was planted.
I am including updated pictures.
Well today was the day. We harvested Josie this morning. For our first time with a grow box we were pleasantly surprised. Only one seed made it (we planted four) and she filled the box. I am going to post pictures of the root which was unbelievable and pictures of the harvest once we trimmed the leaves. We saved the leaves to infuse in oil.
The day number can be one of several: from seed, or 12 hour light cycles. From the flip are the significant ones to count IMO. Veg is timeless, for me literally 24 7s. hmmmm: whatsa 7?)
PS, just remembered. You're growing autos. They're commonly counted from sprouted
84 days? I'm dumb, must be late. That sounds to me like a reasonable life/crop cycle.
Haven't grown any yet but perhaps Autos might do something for me someday.
A quick internal search found my objection: I'm cheap and Autos don't clone easy.
Thanks for the reponse - it was 84 days from seed sprouting on the autos. When we did the quick dry at day 77 it was a really nice high that lasted about 2 hours. We went with the autos because it was our first time and hoped it would be easier for us. I think it was and we just hope after the cure it is as good as the test was.
The forums and responses are so good here, you find answers to everything you need. Thanks so much for the feedback!!!! I am sure we will be back again for round two
