Weather is all of a sudden cold outside.

I dont care ill take it i can turn my ballast back up!

I finally did the backbuilding on the sativa

I wasnt sure how far down to cut so i went with less is more. La said that the guy he got the tech from said 2 calyxs and like 3 pistils like la i just did the top.

Then i repeated the process
For all the tallest pointiest buds

Well see just how this Plays out.

The indicas arent drinking much any more.

They will definitely be getting the overdrive next watering.

Its about that time i start planning harvest....
Ie. Where the heck am i gunna hang these?!

I may have to do like killan and put up my other tent.

Im just not so sure about it being in the garage?

Anybody dry off the stem? I may need to if space is limited...

Quick update.

The indicas finally needed water

I only gave them a half a gal each of cal/mag and i think it wont help much as its just 1 dose of the mammoth p but i figured it couldnt hurt it either

They will be ready for overdrive tomorrow.

The biggest one is showing alot of orange hairs now but spitting out these new buds on top of the buds (foxtails id assume)
I dont see any amber yet but i dont see any clear either...
What does seem to be clear is whats on the foxtails

You can see the buds on top of buds...

Same plant very frosty!

The little one very dense the hairs arent really going orange they are receeding but look an off white

No change from the sativas besides the spots i snipped drying and healing hopefully now they start to fatten up!


The 2 plants i have vegging in my closet are doing ok well one is good needs a little food since the transplant the bigger revegged one looks a little retarded maybe from revegging?

I transplanted it from a 1 gallon to a 2 into ffof.

The leaves arent growing like a normal leaf the fingers are all growing on their own it almost looks like an actual hand!
There are also leaves twisting and cupping i think its just bad environment because it wants to stretch out and live its life to the fullest
I havent done anything but supercrop very early on and that is why the stem is a branch!

It seemed to bee looking a little better this morning in the bigger pot.

* TIMEOUT

I thought about this last night while transplanting her and thought i need to share this in my journal because it is such a noticeable difference.

Duh its the better product but ocean forrest is so much better than happy frog.
Maybe because i havent touched a bag of it in over a year and have been dealing with the happyfrog but man
Just looking at it you can see why its so much better!
Its so much more airy and fluffy
The amount of water needed to saturate the pot is way less than happyfrog especially after 3 months of roots taking over and compacting from watering and draining.

I mentioned this early on in the journal but i dont feel happy frog should be used by itself.
Not when you can get ocean forrest for practically the same price.

Ok rant over lol

Ive dried on a net before but you have to watch temps and keep RH just a little higher because the net seems to dry them faster than on the stem.

Thank you for the reassurance!

Its funny just snipping them i kinda saw the tear drop look LA referenced to.

Trichomes are very scarce tho... Especially when you look at the indicas!
Its there just not as abundant

Ill be updating tonight thanks for the input!

What's the temperature in there when the lights are on, I try to keep temps on the low 20 Celsius it does the trick for me

By the way back building works God bless L A for putting me on

I dont let the temp get higher than 82°F
And when it does i do my best to cool it to 70's.

It hasnt been too much of an issue (heat) compared to my previous grows

I personally wouldn't worry much they look really good from what I'm seeing

Thank you i guess im so used to seeing the thick soda can indica buds with what looks like a bag of sugar dumped over my plants and this sativa is total opposite end of the spectrum especially considering it was crossed with a northern lights

Im sure if i had more than just a couple seeds from that cross id find a pheno closer to what i was looking for.

Thank you everyone for the advice!
That is why i get the harvest i do because you fine lads and ladettes lmao

Ill be doing a thorough update tonight!

Ok update time!

Alot going on so an update is needed!

Well guys were coming to an end the northern lights both gave me the look today!

Sunday i fed the big northern lights the first taste of overdrive.
Today tons of orange hairs visible on all the buds

This plant smells like very expensive coffee!

Id like to give it another week of overdrive and then a week of flush and i think shell be done

Same for the runt northern lights which is showing lots of what looks to be very light pinkish orange hairs.... You almost cant tell their not white

Those 2 will be chopped at 70 days

Now for the sativa again thank you everybody who has chimed in up to this point and helped me understand the way of the sativa lol

Thank you to LA tho he probably wont see this. For teaching us about backbuilding!

The sativas are visibly chunkier in just a metter of a few days.
Its so noticeable!

The wonds have healed and the buds at the bottom are growing up making it look alot more full on the stems.

Sunday it was fed normally but for the big bud it only received 4ml and 2 of the bloombastic.

I will be taking deans advice and going to 11 or 12 weeks with this one depending on what it tells me.

Also the sugar on it is much more noticeable funny how a few hours ago on a smoke break i mentioned how it was very sad in terms of trichomes lol
She was waiting for me to open the tent!

A big change made sunday was that i added an extra hour of darkness so now were at 11/13

So ill go ahead and say it i think i burned the hell out of these girls lmfao!

Too too much light! With my ballast set to 600w not to mention my diy light bars
It was just too much light.

My hood is at the top of my tent there is at least a foot and a half between top bud and the glass. I assumed i was far enough away to not burn them.
It wasnt until i had a discussion with fanleaf recently that i realized i had too much light in such a small space without adding co2!

Which is why i saw the burned leaves i mistook for a deficiency or ph problem.
The extra calmag did help give me a ground zero so to speak and they never got any worse but they never got any better either because i was still cooking them.

Now on the other hand lol the flowers are absolutely huge rock hard and smell amazing so its not all bad they just dont look to pretty in non hps light lol i guess since were close to harvest it doesnt look that bad but my last grows looked way better...

All things considered not too bad i know i coulda saved a couple of pennies on the light bill but whatevs lol

Now real quick this plant here was one of the seedlings i dropped in case my flowering 3 died well obviously that didnt happen.

They were sent to flower in solo cups until the canopy shaded them out. At that point only this one had pistils the other 2 hadnt shown and i wasnt waiting longer than 4 weeks!

So i put this one back into veg and its been there ever since i looked like a freaking tomato plant lol
I suppercropped and let her go in the closet. I mentioned this before lol
too high
Anyway i gave her a haircut and decided she will be my mother i guess lol the growth is so weird i dont know how id even flower her without some serious scrogging all by herself in one net

So after harvest during my reset week ill start cloning her shell be topped by then to give me more clones

My finger is at the original top which was probably the 3rd node

Hey theres a pot plant in there!

Weird leaves

Even single bladed leaves thease were everywhere!?

Here is my clone from the coffee northern lights!

Im very excited about this one tons of nodes and all very tight!
Very healthy and growing straight up like it came from a seed almost!
Not sure how this one will be grown out but i think i might have a run at just 1 huge plant in a huge pot under a huge scrog.... Im yet to decide but ill know soon shes outgrowing her closet!

Both of my "vegging" plants finally received week 1 of thee feeding schedule at half strength.
I wont feed them but every 2 weeks until i have the space for them


Thats all for now thanks again for stopping by and everyone​ who helped teach me words cant describe how thankful i am.
In todays world its unfortunate but learning cost no matter where you go!
Its very sad but true.
And you all taught me for nothing! I guess thats why were here but either way its appreciated!

I have some clones that are growing all sorts of weird leaves like yours, very curious why if you have any ideas

Yea i get lost in other threads i was reading.
come back another day and im not even sure its the same thread lol

I need to update like this more often just sometimes i only have time to tend to the plants snap a few pics stare in awe for a few borrowed seconds then zip it back up til the next day!

Thank you.

And yes its so true alot of these people especially some of the more professional growers should be getting paid for the jewels they drop on our journals or around the site lol

Even the hobbyists who is just speaking from his own personal experience and chiming in his own opinion.

It doesnt have to be on my journal the amount of communication and knowledge spread just because is amazing. You go anywhere and ask to learn something and something is expected in return.

Not 420 it's awesome!

I have no idea!
the tomato looking plant that i trimmed down was from seed i flowered it practically from seed and then revegged once i saw pistils.

I was under the assumption that it was because of flipping it back to veg

But then i look at my clone and some of the leaves look like it wants to do the same thing.

My best guess is maybe stress induced? Or genetic mutation?
To be fair i dont know your setup
Tho ill check it out in the am

Mine are in my closet with a few cfls and a 12in t8 tube and a fan not the best situation at all but its all i got for now.

I have tried to keep them as happy as possible but who knows i dont see any signs of hermaphroditism tho so i really cant say
