ok so I decided to take a closer look up the ladies skirts, and they are a bit farther along in the flower stage than I was thinking earlier tonight. She is already starting to form what I call little bud balls, the beginnings of the actual bud itself with the hairs and pistils coming out of it. I will be changing her nutrient water Wednesday night and be giving her a healthy dose of bloom nutrients.
As I was saying I was in there looking under their skirts and I decided that was news big enough to try and snap some pics. So for your viewing pleasure,
I also measured big bertha, so measuring her canopy from left to right, she is 25in across. in diameter, or 63.5cm for you guys on the other measurement scale.
She will be a nice yielder! The other ones shouldn't be too bad either, but she has definitely left the other 3 plants in the dust. Starting to wonder if I should take a 3rd generation of monster cropped clones with her as the donor, or stick to the plan and take a small break and then grow out some different strains for a change, I don't know.
Thank you for that comment RSO, its my hope that one day everyone will realize the benefit of this medicinal herb and stop calling it illegal. There are so many benefits from cannabis that's more than just medicinal, its also a super food, a renewable clean energy resource, and some of the strongest and most durable building and crafting materials on the planet, hemp is a wonderful resource. Now please don't confuse me with a tie die wearing hippy, no offense to anyone that is one, but from a scientific stand point, there are so many things we can use cannabis for, other than just medicinal herb, that's just one of its many purposeful uses.
I agree G00CH, I think now I will be taking and uploading pics every 2 days, but just because I don't upload pics doesn't mean I'm not checking on my grow. I am in that room for atleast 2 hours in there when the lights are on. I go in every hour or so to check on ph, add water, or other additives as needed. Sometimes it takes an hour or so of the lights being on for her to tell me if shes needing anything so that's why I check on them so often. Also if I add anything I also check on it for the next couple hours to make sure things stay in proper ranges. I like watching my plants grow, its tedious but when it comes to my horrible picture taking, taking pics everyday and posting them everyday I wasn't really seeing a difference in the pics unless I went back a few days, So I figured I would just wait a few days to take and upload pics. Now since they are starting to bud, I will be taking daily pics cause it wont be but a few more days until you guys start seeing some explosive growth in the buds. The formula I figured out should accelerate bud growth enzymes within the plant, I just needed to wait for the little buds to start forming, that's why I will be changing the water out on Wednesday.
Sorry for the ramblings, its been a long day, and I got really medicated before posting. My smoking buddy is pissed cause I used my wax and nail tonight so she couldn't have any. I may get a small bowl before bed for the vape and help her out with some too. Thank you all for your generous comments. That's what this community is for, being there for others and being able to lend a hand when needed. Thanks to everyone for all their feedback and support as well.
Thanks JoJo for the DIY on the SCROG, I will definitely be making those for buckets next grow. I was looking for a way to do it for each individual bucket. I will definitely recommend anyone looking on info on how to make them to your post.
That's about it for now I will post more tomorrow, as always, Keep It Green!
