Flowering Day 12....

On the same watering/fert schedule. I wait until the pot is light and not carrying much water. 2 1/2 days or so and then I water again. Tied down another branch a couple days ago. Now shes really stretching and starting to form little buds. Check out the pix!















I'll be back in a few days to post some more pix. Hope you enjoyed those. :bigjoint:

UPDATE

Day 18 Flowering

Heres a few more pix. The buds are starting to get a lot more hairs and shit. The plant is really getting tall too. I tried to tie the branches down and keep the light low but they are still steadily climbing.











I'll be back in a few days with another update. Hope you enjoyed the pics.

How much do you think you will yield?
not really sure bro. im hoping maybe a couple dry ounces.

your plants look healthy man. you might just have a slower flowering plant. also i don't know what you feed your plants. mine are in fox farm ocean forest soil and i've been feeding them fox farm big bloom full strength every watering throughout the flowering period.

Is this all from a 150w HPS light only? Looking good man. I am under a 150w HPS also and mine aren't reaching to the stars like yours are.

Yeah all I have is a 150W HPS in there. Shes looking droopy today for some reason. I think I might have pissed her off by trimming some fan leaves off a day or two ago.

thanks man. i think i wasn't watering her enough. she really started sucking some water now so im water once every 2 days now. the tips of a lot of the leaves started browning and some leaves are turning light green. shes looking a bit better today and i threw her in a 5 gallon bucket. just to make sure it wasn't getting root bound in that smaller pot.

Flowering Day 25 Update

So the buds are filling in just a little bit more and you're starting to see some crystals growing on the leaves around the buds.

UPDATE

Day 34 Flowering

Been having huge problems. Still haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet. Mad yellowing and dying leaves. Most of the damage has been done to the fan leaves and hasn't really affected the buds much at all. I threw them in a bigger 5 gal bucket to see if thats gonna help any.

Anyway heres some pix.

















i snipped off a shit load of leaves this morning so you wont notice any yellowing. but it was pretty bad.

They look great, I think the yellowing is just the plant focusing on the buds and not the lower fan leaves.
