Time to show your grow.

It starts flowering as soon as 18 days and produces pretty fat colas for the size and quickness to flower. I'll post a couple shots of mine that probably has 1-2 weeks left. Seedsman says 70 days from seed, today is day 64 since breaking ground for this plant.

Strawberry Cheesecake auto day 64 only training was bending over and opening branches up

Ugh...-30c (-22f) where I am. I’d be happy to be someplace warm enough for spittin drizzle.

 

[dropinbiking]

I hear that. We got a little below -30 a few nights ago. Wood stove was thumping all night. On a plus side it's kept humidity low for the end of flowering here. Overnight temps have been a struggle.

 

[Mr.furley]

Skeptical of what?

Lights at the bottom are for pruning the underside of the canopy at this point...I also use them as supplemental to the top lights when the plants are still short

 

[dropinbiking]

Of yield and quality. Was late on getting them more light, they're in some tiny pots. Just don't feel like this harvest will be all that I was expecting it would be. Not trying to whine or complain, guess it's just a first time grower thing, not sure where to set your expectations.

You will be a surprised at how Rad your first self grown cannabis is no matter the fine details. The best part of one's first grow isn't just awesome having Blood, Sweat, & Tears involved when you smoke it, but the clarity of what you can do better the next time to buff out those fine detail.

I should say first real grow, or first indoor grow. I grew a few outdoor plants this year but they turned out like dog shit. Lots of rain, bad seeds, just all sorts of wrong. I was just not into it, and had nothing invested in it. The weed came out practically useless haha

 

[dropinbiking]

This indoor is a whole different game and I guess I'm just kicking myself in the butt already and I haven't even harvested. Maybe I just watch too many youtube growers and see too many veteran growers post pics, and set my bar too high. Like I said, just at 8 weeks of 12/12, think these things will bulk up any more?

I think the green is how your camera or processing software is handling white balance from your grow lights. Plants don't use green light so a lot of grow lights don't provide it. The camera is adjusting to the grow lights from above and sees the lights below, which do provide green light, as green.

Still working on getting better pictures in my New Flower Room.

Green is used by plants. The full color spectrum is used by plants including UV and IR. The old theory of “green isn’t used because it’s reflected” was from a time before there was means of fully testing photosynthesis at the cellular level.

There was also some speculation that even the frequencies for radio signals are sensed by plants. Theory was started by middle school students noticed a classroom plant near the WiFi router was dying while an other plant a few feet away was unaffected. This also ties in to the theory that music is good for the plants.

Hang in there Dropin. My first 4 plants...plant 1 was a dud and yielded about 14 grams of shit...but the other 3 gave me a total of 12 ounces of very good smoke. My plants seem to go a long time, like 19 weeks long, time from seed to harvest. And they really fattened up in the last 4 weeks.
Plants gunna do, what plants gunna do. 😉

Shiz nit!!!!!!!

I think it's their innate intelligence to get phat with a little assistance from their humans: the more bud area exposed, the more chance of getting pollinated and producing lots of seed. Or, for most of us, just making big medicine for humans.

Thanks! Very interesting answers, which all imply we're wasting our time with LST, mainling, quadling, etc. Because most of what we talk about here is how to keep our plants from growing into christmas trees with 1 giant cola and lots of larf.

And here goes YYCannabis lettin' in all hang out commando style, pulling a bib bush with lots of fat colas, AND a big fat, did I say FAT? donkey dick in the middle. Got this shit dialed in! yo.

 

[dropinbiking]

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm always a little hard on myself I guess, but I guess that's never a bad thing, helps you learn and grow. I've made a few rookie mistake, and heat and enviornment were a big one. I'll have a bit of spare cash in a couple weeks and already have a 4x2 tent, space heater, temperature controlled outlet, inline fan and a few other misc items lined up ready to buy. Seems like a pretty good way to spend $200 and get my next round of girls into a better home.

Grow #2 has ended. The last photo came down today. Auto Cheese, Auto Northern Lights x Big bud and 1 AK-47 photo(Medusa) are curing in jars. The other two AK photos are hanging now.(these two have some really solid buds on them). Im still hoping to get a pound from this harvest(5 plants) as opposed to 1lb from seven plants with my first grow. fingers crossed . Have to sterilize the tent today and get geared up for Grow #3 lol

 

[dropinbiking]

Awesome stuff man, must be a lot of trim work, looks like you keep a pretty organized system.
