Amnesia Lemon and Madness have all started to pre-flower noticeably. I flipped to 12/12 13 days ago.

I will try to get some updated pictures of those 3 plants in the next day or so.

BigLittlejohn · Jul 7, 2012

Thanks guys. I feel like I am having far greater success with this grow than I anticipated with this being my first time and all. I appreciate the helpful suggestions you guys have offered along the way. I hope it ends as well as it has been going so far.

Your shit looks good dude, I know it's a pain in the ass but keep rez changin and the normal daily shit.. you know.

Let em lean and scrunch em up together, fuck it.. they'll find their own space and light

BigLittlejohn · Jul 8, 2012

Thanks VO. Yea, I have to pretty much say fuck it and let 'em lean all over each other. I just have to pull them out of the closet when I need to work with them, which is pretty much daily...checking PPM and PH and inspecting the branches and leaves and topping the buckets.

Each strain is producing it's own unique aroma. Right now, the La Musa is overpowering all of the other smells, but if I run my finger along the stem of the 2 Amnesia Lemon plants and the Madness plant, and smell it I get distinctly different smells. I can tell Madness is going to be the fruitiest tasting plant of the 3 strains.

It's liking having the whole closet to itself, the two tombstones that grew along side it were both male.

Woow, it's looking real good, keep up the good work!!!! Are you planning on trimming the bottom leaves? I'm debating whether or not to do that to mine as their getting farther and farther from the light. I think I saw someone on this forum do it.

I am not going to trim La Musa at all. I am going to let her go natural. I think I am going to harvest her in stages to get max yield from her, but I will cross that bridge when I get there. Being my first grow and all, I am a bit hesitant to fuck around during flowering. The Two Amnesia Lemon Plants have 4 main branches each, and I have been randomly pinching off lower growth so that the plant can focus on the top. The Madness is showing Indica traits and is much more squat plant. She is a good 10 inches shorter than the other plants in the closet. I took cuttings from all 3 (2 Amnesia Lemons and 1 Madness) so I don't have a ton of lower branch growth. Right now I am thinking along the same lines as my thinking with La Musa, which is to leave it alone and if necessary, harvest in stages....I am even flirting with the idea of re-vegging, but that's a good 60-70 days away.

With the bottom fan leaves, I have been waiting until they get a little dried up before I pinch them off. At this point, I want to cause the least amount of stress possible.

Dontcough · Jul 9, 2012

I hear that, I may look into this pinching technique, seems logical. Cutting off the branches feels like cutting down on the photosynthesis of the plant, thats why Im hesitant.

BigLittlejohn · Jul 10, 2012

I took some photos tonight of all 3 strains. I also took some the other day of the bottoms of the plants to who how thick the main stems have become. I am getting pretty stoked about La Musa, as she is actually resembling the things you see all over the internet but couldn't imagine yourself growing. My wife has actually been commenting about how maybe all the reading, time and money is starting to appear to be worth it.

The first group of pictures were taken on Sunday (I think):

The others didn't come out so great, so Amnesia Lemon #1 is not pictured above.

These are pictures from tonight.

Amnesia Lemon:

Tomorrow or the next day, I plan to flush all 4 plants and will need to pull them out of the closet. I will take some full body shots of the plants and try to get some of the roots as well. Tomorrow will be Day 49 from seed (48 for Madness).

mike91sr · Jul 10, 2012

Sub'd for this. Looks great, especially for your first time. I'm running the La Musa and Madness freebies too, my auto is a little farther along than yours but I wont be flipping Madness for a couple weeks. btw, I hate the name madness lol, cindy99xbrazilian could have some pretty cool names, what a waste.

BigLittlejohn · Jul 10, 2012

I wasn't really ready to flip Madness truth be told, but the two Amnesia Lemons were so ready. As it is, I've had to stack my bucket with Brazilian Cindy99 on books so that she doesn't get blocked out of the light by the other plants in my closet. I am probably slowing my Auto's production, once I flipped the lights, she ceased getting 18 hours of light. Thanks for the sub man.

Im also growing madness mine grew to a point with wierd single leaves with smooth edges and stoped growing. Then it pretty much grew as if it had been topped and is growing great in a coco hempy bucket. not planning on flipping til the end of the month.

BigLittlejohn · Jul 11, 2012

Cool dude. Feel free to post some pics of your Madness in this thread if you don't want to start your own.

So right now I am procrastinating a bit, but I am getting ready to flush all 4 of my plants for 24 hours. Pictures of the whole plant and roots to follow later tonight...
