and waiting.... watching.... waiting

Week 5 from light switch. Spousal Unit has vacation planned in 4 weeks! Gonna definitely try some autos next! Maybe then I can do a better job scheduling my life around grows!!

Beautiful plant! Going to get that much more big and dense. I suspect it is going to be close to your vacation time unfortunately. Couple of threads on speeding up harvest by increasing hours of dark (like 13/11 or 14/10) but I cannot comment as I have never tried. What is the strain? Do you know the expected time to harvest from starting flower?

Strain is AK-48, so called for 48 day flower timelines, but last two grows of same strain had VASTLY different timelines. I kinda screwed up on last grow during flower which caused trics to turn amber too soon and the 48 day timelines is for optimal conditions and breeders comments, which I feel is a little overly optimistic. I don't want to try speeding up flowering because I worry buds won't fatten up to full potential. Just taking a wait and see attitude. Do you think it would be bad to pack 6 or 7 mason jars in my bag so I can burp them while on vacation??? 😎

Right there with you...want much bigger buds but not willing to go amber. The breeders recommendation agree is usually over optimistic but at the same time the LEDs can shave a week of flower time. So it's day by day observation. Funny- I wait for this time and then have a hard time waiting. Actually...the process of growing IS episodes of waiting.
think I will smoke to that after work 🙄

Hey Tika! Great to hear from ya! I am still growing with CFL's. Can't make switch to 315, which I already have, until after this grow so I can expand grow space. Couldn't agree more about looking forward to this stage of grow and then waiting... waiting! 😂 Not kidding about trying some autos for next grow!!
