How's it hangin' RIU?

It's crazy to think Blu is about half-way through her grow already. I've plugged in some updated shots of her. 'looks very promising I must say :mrgreen:

Orange is growing low and wide. but what life without a little punchline in it, lol.;-)

Yello... well Yello just isnt a good color for this cabinet I guess, because this is the second time a "Yello" turned out to be a male.... Anywho, he's no longer with us:finger:

Time to get back to bakin' and playing StreetFighter... don't be too jealous:bigjoint:

Indeed they are... So there's one flowering female and an unknown in the cabinet Bouta germ a replacement now

nice man, i just read ur grow so far, what do you reckon ur gona pull of these mate?

I have no experience with this strain... or any other strain for that matter, lol. When I bought them though, it said it may yield up to 20-30g. I'm hoping to get an ounce per plant, which doesn't seem too bad for a foot tall plant in a microgrow for a ten wk period... we'll see though. Stay tuned and when I find out, so will you

So Blu is looking awesome!! She still has 30 days until harvest, so I imagine I will be very happy with her yield. Only slight negative is she's getting quite fragrant. Pretty soon I think it'll be too much for the ionizer. May have to incorporate a scrubber.

Orange finally showed sex, and it looks like we have two girls bunking with each other in the cabinet:lol:

After seeing how bushy Blu has gotten, I've decided not to sprout a third. Instead I think I'll do a perpetual grow. Every 5 weeks start a new plant. I smoke daily, but not much and am sure an nice ounce/5 wks can be a legit personal stash....

Anywho check out these pics... time for me to blaze:eyesmoke:

looking very sexy toke!
Thanx Dopewear. I've been keeping up with your grow & it's coming along amazingly. That topping really has paid off.

So Blu just did something interesting today. For the past few days, you could easily catch a whiff of her pungent odor. Today though, not so much. It was much more subtle now. I pulled her out to investingate & she had sweet scent to her. I've no experience but that seems pretty interesting to me. Does this sound normal? Anywho, 23 days til harvest & she is plumping up nicely. The main cola is the size of an elephant fetus (I'm a zoo delivery vet). Can't wait til harvest time!!!:weed:

Orange has little pistils shooting out from everywhere and is looking good to be a little over 4 wks. She has stretched a lil' tho :/ But she'll be fine... I'm gonna snip her bottom fans and lower colas that'd be shaded otherwise, in hopes more energy is focused into the larger colas up top.

Welp I'm high and having a lady friend over in a few. As always, pics are along the bottom. Left to right: Blu, Blu's Main Cola, Blu & Orange together, Orange solo....

P.S. That zoo vet thing is a total lie. I have no idea how big a elephant fetus is, lol.

because of it being a autoflower it automatically shows sex without changing the light cycle?
nice grow, how many watts are those bulbs? nice fixture!
good luck with everything

Yes, autoflowering strains show sex regardless of light cycle. I've been running these ladies under light 24/7, which is controversial, but nonetheless, it is apparent that they definitely show sex without concern to their light cycle.
As far as watts, my cab is running 315 watts total, 6200 lumen. 2x 2700k, 1x 5000k.
'ppreciate the compliments. With it being my first grow, any positive is a major positive :)

So attached are a few bud shots as of today....
Orange had a crazy growth spurt recently. She started off growing so low, and now she's as tall as Blu. Well into flowering now. 'clipped her bottom fan leaves and bud sites. I'm hoping it'll pay off...

Blu has over 50% amber pistils. She's looking so good. It's about time to invest in a lil microscope so I can judge by the trichomes when she's done. I'm planning to begin in a lil less than a week...

Unlike Orange, Blu's bottom buds weren't snipped in early flowering. Unfortunately, my area has seemed to hit a little drought and I got a little anxious, so I snipped the small bottom buds and microwave steam dried them. I didn't expect much giving the immaturity and drying method, but I must say it still was much more tasty, potent, and smooth than the random commercial crop floating around. Can't wait for the final product.... there's nothing like kind bud:weed:

On a separate note:
If you look @ Orange's leaves, you'll see the tips are bent. Aside from that, the plant looks healthy and fine though. Any ideas??

So I went back home for 5 days to spend time with the family for xmas. While gone, I had my roommate water the plants for me & this is what I came back to today:

Blu's been getting flushed for about a week. With my naked eye I can tell there's been a change with the trichomes, going from clear to some opaque/some amber just based on the "shade of glimmer" given off. Also as you can see, the leaves have yellowed and shriveled. So even though the pack said it should be 70 days from seed to harvest and RIU members encouraged me to wait until day 70 to harvest as well.... I'm gonna make the newbie exec decision to harvest in 2 days.
I've placed her in total darkness, where she'll remain until I harvest her.

Since orange was growing so high, I did a little LST instead of raising lights up 'cause I figured it didn't have much growth left: WRONG. I came back and the main touched the light and burned a bit :/
So needless to say, I raised the light and it doesn't look too bad....

Welp, welp.... pics line the bottom. (Left to Right): Blu, Blu Main (as long as a mech pencil), Blu Main Cola (wide as a small lighter), Orange prior to raising the light

Call it beginner's anxiety, call it being concerned, but looking @ Blu with her leaves falling off just screamed "I'm ready." I flushed the plant with 2.5 gallons last night and finally cut her down and trimmed her today.
As always pics included.


In other news, I think I'm gonna' enter the party cup competition that's recently started... more on that to come.

Hopefully not the Michigan one next month. That is turning out to be a very bad deal.

Check out the forums
nope... thanks for the heads up tho. Here's the link to the one I'm speaking of:
https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/285065-party-cup-competition.html




and OOOOHHH MMMYY GGOOODDD am I grinning from ear-to-ear. It may be the strain, it may be the sucanat supplement during flowering, but I set up my "drying chamber" in my room & my room smells like candy now :weed: This month of drying/curing can't come quick enough:hump:
