I was being cheap before when I didn't buy the MH bulb and it looks like I need to get one then. You think I can turn this around since they are relatively young?

I don't know the exact date that these sprouted, but I have a pretty good idea. I'd say they sprouted around April 10 and for the first week I had them (4 fem) under a couple of really small CFLs as I was still doing some things to my grow area. They have been under a 400W HPS for 2 weeks now...

Thanks for the advice, this will be my first LST grow so I have a lot of research to do. I will keep in mind what you have advised since you were able to keep a nice small plant with significant buds, matter of fact I'll probably have a thread on it and hope for some advice from you and others...

Potberto I just made a thread about this, or close to it looking for some help. I am wanting to take advantage of Costa Rica's dry season here, lots of sun, and was wondering if LST would be my best option for a shorter plant. I am trying to play things a little safer, I do live away from...

Ok so here is the deal. I live, for the most part, away from the masses. I live up on a mountain and am wanting to take advantage of the dry season starting here in Costa Rica, the sun is going to be out for what seems a minimum of 8 hours a day for quite a few months. I do have a neighbor that...

Getting close to harvest. This past Thursday was 10 weeks.

I live in El Llano in Alajuelita, it is in the mountains outside of San Jose. I've lived here for about 5 months. It keeps me close enough to the city to where it's not a huge trip, but at the sametime far up in the mountains to where I am away from people. Yeah I love me some Imperial, Pura...

I bought a 60x-100x from Radio Shack, I use the 100x magnification.

I'm definately not in a rush, but at the sametime I have read that if you wait too long, where there have been amber trichomes for awhile and they end up being the majority, the THC will start to degrade. I thought going by the color of trichomes was the best way to decide when it's time to...

I have flushed. I took more of a closer pic. The pics don't show that a lot of the lower fan leaves have already yellowed off and died. So is it possible for trichomes to lie? I'll definately let you know how she smokes, I'm going to be patient though and cure for at least a month.

It's an autoflower, AK47XLR2. This Thursday would mark about 10 weeks of total growth time.

Makes sense, that she would keep growing almost past a plateau point, or past ripeness. I was leaning towards harvesting today.

Few pics of buds.

Trichomes are close to 50/50 cloudy/amber. The only thing I'm wondering is what's up with new white hairs? I had all red hairs, but I'm also noticing new white hairs as of recent. Is it time anyway?

Thanks man.

I am coming close to harvesting my first plant and have been doing a little research along the way. I understand sativa strains=heady high, indica strains=couchlock high. I have been reading that when trichomes are cloudy this= heady high, when trichomes are amber this= couchlock, and 50/50 is a...

I'm 8 weeks in, overall pretty happy. It looks as if there is definately a problem, all new leaf growth on the cola has been yellow and stayed that way. It kind of sucks because this is supposed to be the biggest bud and something is wrong. It's not to say that there isn't bud underneath the...

Well, again good to hear. For it being the same strain and you getting a half out of a plant you say wasn't progressing as good as mine, I'm happy. I'd be happy with an oz. if that is the case, that will hold me off until I do it right next grow. I am already planning it out.

Cool man, thanks! That's some pretty encouraging stuff to hear. Was it an autoflowering dwarf?

There's only one lady, just getting a feel for this. Here are a couple of pictures. If you would like to follow it until the end here is my thread https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/229326-how-things-looking.html. Didn't intend on myself continuing to update it when I started it but I'm...
