Moby Dick homemade growbox (First Grow)

What was even more exaggerated was her leaf pattern in veg fat fingered indica leaves and when she began throwing her sugar leaves and uppermost flowering fan leaves they were lengthy skinny sativa leaves and sparse nodes!she was a bagseed freak and her smoke was great but only if youre into some good old school. She was vegged for almost 12 weeks got a crap load of nodes in veg chose 16 she flowered for 11 weeks and had dense spear shaped buds.

That's awesome. Mine is going on 8 weeks veg. Thinking a couple more weeks and I'll switch to 12/12. Hope these gurlies pack on a little weight.

Awesome sativa story SinsemillaScientist !!! I'll bet she was beautiful.

Sallisawjim Flower gets so exciting; I think if you wait a couple more weeks, she's really gonna explode in flower.

Nebula says a top growing technique is to flush the plants periodically (I do it for 24 or 48 hours every few weeks); she says they love the break from nutes and they explode with growth when they go back on their nutes. It's true.

Ironically I have been tossing that around. I think today we will flush them and run ph water for a couple days. Thanks alltatup, crazy how you mentioned that. Love it!!!

 

[alltatup]

Great cultivators' minds think alike!! ;-}

 

[Sallisawjim]

Is this a preflower in the making????? First I have seen and I am so freaking excited...

Ph at 6 flat. Straight water. Will change it out Monday unless she complains really bad again.

 

[alltatup]

That looks like a pistil. She's gettin ready.

 

[Sallisawjim]

Look at these girls!!! Whoa!!!! Feels like I need to defol again so bushy. And growing. They are finally starting to get so.e height. Awesome!!!!

 

[Canuck147]

Great color - let them get more vertical before you chop away.

 

[Sallisawjim]

Thank you Canuck147. And I think I will wait a couple days to chop them older fan leaves. I would like to see some more height. They just keep growing in circumference instead of horizontally like I need. Idk what else to do. Maybe they just arent ready to go up yet. Lol.

 

[Sallisawjim]

Here are the latest pics of the girls. They are quite happy and starting to do some more of that rapid growth. Light defol couple days ago. Already just trucking along like nothing. Still with light defol periodically they are still little bushes.

 

[Sallisawjim]

Well here are todays pics of the Girls. They are getting so big. I have been defoling 4 or 5 of the bigger fan leaves every other day and cannot keep up with the growth. If you move ANY leaf there is baby leaves under there just waving at me. I will probably start flower this week. Reminder these are in a 15 gallon tote.

PS, flushing these babies is the key. Prior to flushing I thought they grew rapidly, but afterwards they went CRAZY! I am having trouble keeping up. Adding a gallon of solution every day now.

Will probably do a 20% defol today then wait for them to recover then switch to flower.

Also I know I know, but I just wanted to show off my root ball! They are tightening up into a solid round mass and shooting out little feelers everywhere!!!

 

[Sallisawjim]

Alltatup, look at these girls!!! The flush triggered a growth spurt or something!!! I cannot keep up with them. Every other day I am clipping the oldest fam leaves just to have new ones take their spot the very next day. The pic below is after I clipped 6 of the biggest fan leaves last night. Seems like there are 10 that took their place! Wow.... score 1 for the flush!

 

[Canuck147]

Looks very good! Good job. Nice color.

 

[Sallisawjim]

Thanks Canuck147.

 

[Sallisawjim]

So, off topic here. Just tried Nebula's Chillax recipe and it put me on my @$$. Holy crap, I have found a new favorite. Anyone else? I got back 4 beautiful golden grams out of about 11 grams of some dank Trainwreck! That's almost half! And clean as I have ever seen non bho. Wow!!!

 

[alltatup]

Good heavens woman, you’ve created monstrous goddesses!!! U go girl!!!!!🐸

 

[alltatup]

Gotta look that one up

 

[Sallisawjim]

So here are the latest pics. Look at all those mains!!!! I mean holy crap. Every old fan leaf I trimmed has 4 or 5 replacements!!! I think she is gathering herself to start flowering. Wednesday or Thursday I think....

 

[alltatup]

I'm excited to see how much she will stretch!!! She's gorgeous.
