Thanks for the posts guys - makes my thread feel less empty... hah


Flowering Day 21 (Day 71):

21 days in and I already want to smoke her. She looks nice. I'm not at full flowering strength yet, but it's getting close. With organic nutrients, I'm doing about a "feed-feed-water" cycle for my waterings (3 days apart).

One thing I'm going to keep an eye on - leaves dying. Every day I am cleaning away 3-5 leaves of varying sizes from the lowest part of the plant. I think it's just the normal course of the plant's flowering, cause the buds look awesome. I'll keep an eye on it. Is isolated leaf necrosis a nutrient issue? I guess I'll just wait and see if things get worse.

Pics!

hey there....just popped in and read through some....you got a good grow going. Like you said ur buds look great....your patience will be WELL rewarded. From what you explain, the lower and odd leaf dying off is likely just a matter of course. Different strains and different growing conditions might respond somewhat differently but unless it has the appearance of being more broadly apparent I would not sweat it. Looks like things are progressing along real well. keep up the great work. Thanks for the updates... Walk On!~

tahoe, thanks for the comments. The leaf necrosis has slowed down so I'm not really concerned about it any more than just the natural course of the plant's life.

Flowering Day 25 (Day 75):

25 days in and I'm loving the progression! I'm slowly increasing the flowering nutrients, and I'll be at full strength by the end of the week. Take a look at some pics!

I am glad you are doing a journal on the Super Lemon Haze. I have those seeds coming and I have a very similar grow setup.

Thank you.:bigjoint:

Hey, your grow is kicking ass your plant is a sexy bitch,
Although a tip, you could have been at full strength nutes 10 days ago, the indica loves the food :) just remember 5.9 ph and EC 1.7 (sativas dom's always perform best at lower ph's) and that will max nute uptake there fore maximizing bud production!! . make those suckers drip resin ! Awesome grow Ill be using your grow as an example of what you can do with cfls !!

Thanks for commenting guys. I'll make sure to give her more nutrients and keep the photos coming!

Flowering Day 30:

I'm one month into flowering now, and I think Hazel is looking great. Yesterday I gave her full strength nutrients, a bit of some supplement I have (Monster Bloom I think), and a bit of organic black strap molasses (just a tad since it was in the house anyways).

The lower leaves are still slowly dying off, but it's nothing important and if anything it's improving the airflow there. The buds are swelling up nice, and I'm planning on adding a couple more CFLs in the coming weeks to make sure there aren't any super-fluffy buds anywhere.


Anyways, take a look at some pics. These are from yesterday, so from Day 29 in flowering.

Let me know what you think!

Flowering Day 30: Evening


Just an update- I did a makeshift CO2 bottle for Hazel today. It was using a method found on the forums here. I used champagne yeast, sugar water, and some tubing. Check it out!

Attached are some pics of my setup. As of now, I have:

2 x intake fans (bottom)
1 x exhaust fan (top)
1 x circulating fan, angled to push air upwards

12 x 42w CFLs = about 32 000 lumens of light, distributed around Hazel.

You mean Eve? I put her in the woods about 4-5 weeks ago. She was doing fine, and then about 3 weeks ago I checked on her and she was gone! She was dug out, roots and all. I'm hoping that she has gone to a caring home, but I'll never know...

Your lady is progressing nicely.I see its loving al those cfls u put inside your cab.You are using over 400 watts cfls and only 27,000 lumens.Dont u think a 250 hps wouldve been a better choice(half the power consumption same amount of lumens)

wyteberrowwidow, you know I was thinking about HPS originally. I chose CFL since it allowed me to start off with only a few lights, and progressively increase the lumens. In terms of cost, where I live the government had a big CFL savings promotion going on for a few weeks, so I got over half my lights at about 3 USD per CFL. So, in the inital cost, the CFLs were cheaper. There's no denying that the operational costs are now a bit more, but I'm okay with that cost. ... Sometimes I do wish I didn't have to deal with all those wires, though :cuss:

Flowering Day 32:

It's getting harder to notice the bulking up day by day, but when I check the pictures from 4-5 days ago, it's clear that Hazel is growing. She's at full strength now, and I'm hitting her with all I've got. I've got 2 CFL bulbs not in use now, and I might add them later, but I just can't really find room for them, hah.... I'll add them if I notice that Hazel needs some more love in a certain area.

Anyways, these pics are fresh as of an hour ago. Take a look!

PS. I know this question doesn't really (ever) have a solid answer, but, look at the plant, what are your guys' opinions on her yield? If it's impossible to tell right now, then I guess I'll just find out in a month and a half :)

Honestly i would say it looks like 2-3oz maybe some more but then again thats just guessing and looking at the size of your room+lights.

wyteberrywidow, thanks for the estimate. I've got my fingers crossed for at least that :)

Flowering Day 34

Things are progressing well! I can notice the buds bulking up now quite well... Well actually I don't really know how well they are, since this is my first grow and all. She smells nice though! Anyways, here are some fresh pics from tonight:

wyteberrywidow, thanks for the "compliment"!

Flowering Day 41:

It's been a while since I last updated this, but I've been quite busy and Hazel hasn't done much. I've been taking pictures every day though. Anyways, Hazel is slowly bulking up, but I think I'm in that period now just before the real bulking happens. I'm waiting for my fan leaves to turn more yellow (2 weeks?) and her to start packing on more weight.

Hazel's pistils are also starting to brown. She's on full strength nutrients and looks quite healthy, so I'm pretty sure everything is going as planned. My temperatures are higher than I'd like (mid to high 80's, but with plenty of airflow), but I can't really change that. Oh well!


Anyways, here are some fresh pics as of tonight!
