Things seem to be going well, I'm still using the MH bulb, going to switch HPS tonight when the bulb cools off. Plant seems healthy! Would it be okay to tie down some of those bigger branches going up or would that affect yield? Thanks guys

So my gal has been flowering for about 2 and a half weeks now. She's been under the HPS for just longer than a week. Had quite a bit of 'droop' in the leaves when I had switched the bulbs, I would imagine from shock, but they've perked right back up and seem to be doing very well! Temps have been easy to maintain as the summer temps go away, so should be smooth sailing from here to harvest!

Doing alright I think pkp! Had a little worry period when I went away for a couple days, came back and they NEEDED water, but they rebounded overnight and its looking healthy again! What is recommended time of harvest for a seed of unknown genetics? I'm kind of going on the "damn that's a good looking bud" scale. But maybe 2 more weeks? Any ways to guestimate it instead of getting the microscope?

wow nice stuff man! I got a scope at radioshack for about 10 bucks but without it your best sign of when to harves is to like you said watch the plant... close to harves parts of the plant will begin to die.. like the bottom first set of leaves, and you will see the pistils of the buds die, and draw back into the flower. once it does this it will prob be best to harves I would switch to plain water at like 7 to 8 weeks and then choose when to harvest after atleast 2 weeks of plain water... my own oppinion, but the scope does help and a good one at radioshack is actually really cheap... remember you dont have to harvest all at once...

Hey guys, things seem to be going good, overall the plant seems healthy, most of the leaves near the bottom have started to die, but the stems with buds seem to be healthy and green! Getting lots of bud, but not as many trichomes as I expected, I only see a little bit on some of the leaves, and that only started showing up a day ago. So can I expect more in the next couple weeks? or should I be worried? The plant STINKS, its a lovely smell

Also was wondering if I should be worried about the dead/yellowing leaves? I hear the nitrogen defiency accounts for the yellowing, but as you can see I have quite a bit of dead/yellow leaves! Thanks guys!
