I would start with 1, MAYBE 1 1/2. I just finished my first grow, and noticed the molasses effected the taste a LITTLE bit. It did cure out really nicely, but, I'm going to go down to 1-1 1/2 next time...
There was a smalllllllllllllllll light leak under the door, but, very small and nothing more than the moon would provide (or so I'm told).
If it did hermie on my account, and not because of genetic tendencies, my guess is because my roommate would occasionally go in during dark time for a min...
DaveCoulier,
Thanks for the input.
I've done a lot of research and have seen that some sativa strains show the bananas reallllllly late, but are of no concern because they're hollow. I'm chopping in 2 days.
Should I still chance it at pulling off the 6-8 of them, or to hell with it and leave...
Georgi,
Pic is attached. I don't see any pollen on my plant anywhere though, which makes me think it's not hermie?
LED: Thanks! You need to have a ton of patience to wait 16 weeks!!!
I will, harvesting in 2 days.
If this stuff is as good as it looks, I'll do a grow journal next time.
Does anyone know offhand what a swollen yellow thing on the outside of the bud would be? A calyx?
Right on, thanks.
I have it in a closet, and I live in the northeast. Temps are good during the day, but the room cools down at night.
Is there any effectiveness to shortening the days by a half hour a week over the last 3 weeks or so, so I know for next time?
My God. You have the patience of a saint. Do you think I'm looking at about 14 weeks to get the best product? Or do you think that if I go this weekend I'll still have a good yield with a good high?
Yeah, I actually flushed a bit early because I thought it would be done sooner, so for the last 3 weeks I've been watering w/ molasses.
And it's soooooooooooooo tempting... It smells like candy. Delicious, mind-numbing candy!
Hey all,
I was just wondering what is the longest flowering sativa you've ever seen or heard of.
These pics are of mine at 12 weeks and it just doesn't look done.
I'm going to harvest in 4 days anyway.
Thanks.
I vegged with a 4" shoplight with the daylight bulbs and a few daylight CFL's.
For flower I used a 150w HPS and a UVB bulb in one of those clip on painter's light things.
My next grow is going to be the same bagseed strain (as long as this stuff is good), but I'm going to use a 400w HPS and...
A lot of you have been very helpful, and I thank you for that. I have some bagseed that is a slowwwwwwwwwwww going sativa plant. I'm pretty sure I'm going to harvest wed. There are still some white hairs, but, the triches have ambered up pretty quickly and are about 70% milky, 30% amber...
Okay guys, day 75 here.
Just posting some updated pics. Things seem to be coming along nicely. I'd say 60-75% of the hairs are brown and the triches on the bud are about 90% milky, but none are amber yet.
Any suggestions? I want the head high, just wondering if I'll lose a lot of weight if...
I had a bit of trouble the first few times I tried too.
I would say that a humidity dome and rockwool/plugs is a must. I tried powder, but it never worked for me, so I switched to gel and have 100% success.
Make sure you cut off a decent size branch from the mother (I usually go 5" with a few...
