How long you flower is totally dependent on the strain. Usually Indicas flower fast, Sativas slow, and hybrids are pretty random. Mine is going to take a total of 8-9 weeks. 0.0

Essentially when you harvest is based around what kind of high you are trying to achieve. Early harvest (milky trichromes) = cerebral high. Late harvest (amber trics) = couch lock/lethargic high. Having a microscope and checking the trics will be the best bet when determining when to harvest.:leaf:


Awesome man
THANKS MAN! Keep checking in, the buds are gettin fatter and fatter! ;)

NUH UHHH!!!???? THAT really excites me man!!! And I have really been needing good news! Thanks man.
Yup yup.....around days 35-42 you should start seeing some substantial growth. Every time your lights come on you can see a difference.... that's the fun part IMO :)

isn't it just easier to tie a few strings to it and ducttape it to the wall for support? :D

I have OCD, so let me tell you that I have already thought out that first plan.

I've started using a stake in the center and just tying the branches to it... got tiered of using like 10 stakes per plant LOL.
IF I STAB SOMETHING INTO THE SOIL, it will stab a root, no go there. I am not going to kill some roots.

isn't it just easier to tie a few strings to it and ducttape it to the wall for support? :D
True, that is how I did the tie downs for my lst. It would last a day at most....then my plant would be touching lights. Permanence is KEY.

OK, so I used the string Idea and tied those to the plants, and tied the other ends to some screws that are secured to the wall, should be gooooood to go. :D Thanks for reminding me about using string. :P

If your Lst'ing just drill some holes around the top of the pots to tie the string to, it makes things a lot easier if you have to move the plant.

Well what the problem is now is that I have to keep the stems from breaking under thier own weight, so I have to tie them to the ceiling. AND THUS, cannot move the plant. So essentially my only option is to put a towel around the holes while watering and for a little bit after to absorb access water/nutes. (Because I cannot move the plant.)
