I think I'll try to chop around 8 weeks, which is on Friday. Unfortunately this bitch popped about 4 or 5 nanners in the past couple weeks. Not really a big deal. It's the second run with this cut. The first time through I went 60 days, but it was pretty fucked up due to some crappy anarobic supersoil (my fault for a crappy supersoil mix, which fucked up 5 of my girls), and no nanners on that run. This run was without supersoil, and I threw it into flower from clone after like a week of veg, so it's just a single 2 foot shoot with a couple branches. It's pretty much lost in a forest of larger plants. So, I don't know if the hermie problem on this one is the cut, or my fuckup. I'm hoping I just fucked this one up somehow. I've got a few nanners on one other plant as well of a different strain, but my other ten plants are all looking great. I've been experimenting with a short veg in one gallon containers on several plants in addition to a few larger plants in larger containers mixed in, and the two plants with nanners are both in the one gallon, and their clones in the larger containers havent hermied (yet?), so maybe they're just too stressed from the small containers.

PIC UPDATE:

a week later, the broken stem has completely healed itself


more mutated growth, i dont know if y can tell but one of the tops now has 3 fan leaves instead of two... so... that means it will have 3 budsites per node instead of 2 (winning)


The yellowing of the first set of leaves.... everything else is groovy


a pic of the yellowing tips.. this happened when i doubled the grow nutes one feed... once i saw that, i immediately went back to pure water..


The plant is offically 12 inches tall... so im going to repot into the final pots and the switch the next week.

they have a slight Sweet / sour / lightly musty smell that i cant really put my finger on... definitely does not smell like pineapples.. BUT.. its ALMOST pleasurable... im extremely interested in seeing how this pans out in flower...

its 1 ft tall now, so if the rumors are true.. im expecting a 3 ft plant (not including pot, with pot 4ft tall) ... i have never dealt with a lanky tree before, so hopefully the wide node spacing doesnt fuck up the yeild... my first real successfull grow i got 2 ounces per plant... i have a better understanding of what im doing now, so hopefully i can come close to doubling it if i can get a qp.. shit would be AWESOME... but if i can get 3oz from the PC and at least 1 from the CM33... and godwilling, the clone takes root.. then i can get like have 10 grams from the clone (that will be my samples that i give out)

i transplanted her into her final pot... i couldnt do a 5 gallon, cause i didnt have enough soil for that but when i took the plant out the old case i was suprised about how FUCKING PACKED the roots were.. good lord.. they were almost coming out the top of the damn pot..lol.... #thuglife

anyways... ima give her 4 days to bounce back from transplant shock.. then ill throw into flower... i been wiating for this day my entire life.. well.. atleast it feels like it

great to know!

well.. it appears she has accustomed herself to the transplant already... she grew 1 inch last night... im going to wait till the 7th to start flower so that the tracking of the Days of flower will be easy to remember for me... im looking forward to it all

hopefully i can get a qp off her... (wishful thinking)

thank you guys..im anticipating this incredible stretch that i year about... im prepared for anything up to a 2.5 stretch without restraints... but larger then that i gotta figure out how to die them down

how long did it take for yours to complete flower? and how much did you yeild per plant (im tryna gather estimates)

depends on condition and genetics. Barney's claim 55-60 days but mine took longer about 10 weeks before I cut them down. Yield is depending on many factors. I had two plants in 5 gal containers and veg them til they were about 2.5 half feet. I was growing with a 400w hps and had 4 plants total. Dont have a scale but I got about 4 quart jars filled with two plants. I think I would have gotten a better yield if I had more lights. Keep up the good work.

Day 1:

first day of me flipping the lights... the clone didnt take, as far as i can tell.. but its still alive in the humid dome.. so.. its not bothering me, might as well let it stay there... the critical mass has 4 tops and is nice and squat... hopefully i can get a ounce from that.... i plan on letting these plants go until the hairs receed and it LOOKS done... fucking around with the microscope i always end up chopping early.. so im going to try another method and see how well it suits me...

btw... i added the UFO in there..lol.. i have it propped up on the side... dont know exactly if it will do anything besides add to my power usage.. but i figured why not.. who knows... maybe my lower growth will get rock hard :)

Day 2:

This has to be the healthiest looking plant i have ever dealt with.. and the extra ufo led in there may or may not be doing anything, but it makes everything look soooooooooo pretty

but anyways.. lets talk about this stretch.. 2nd day of flower and already she has grown 4 inches.. :( i sense its gonna be a long stay in stretchville at this rate... she is 17inches tall from top of soil to top of leaves... meanwhile.. the critical mass 33 has 6 tops, is VERY uniform.. and im overall pleased with it.... pics coming between now and saturday.

Day 3:

i havent looked in the tent yet.. the timer is set from 12 noon to 12 midnight and its 10:44am where i am... anyways.... something happened with RUI and i this thread disappeared from my last started thread options in my profile.. so... i will have to manually find this thread from now on unless someone can help me out on a easier way to find it... if not.. sad to say, that around june 12.. i probably wont be able to continue to update to do the fact that i will be gone from june 6th to june 11 and by the time i come back im sure this thread will be ultra buried... it wasnt that popular to begin with..lol.. but i was trying to be consistent with at least one thing in my life... either way.. ill edit this tonight after i peep in the tent and see whats going on.

Day 4:

holy shit... the growth this thing went through overnight is insane.. MIND YOU.. i just transplanted last week into a container easily 3 times as big as the previous pot.. but today.. what do i see.. roots completely BUSTING OUT the bottom of the pot from all sides... therefore, im bout to go into work 2 hours late cause i got to transplant into a even larger pot and buy some more soil... i think im going to go with the smart pots... so they can air prune

o yea... and they grew alot too..lol.. im very excited to see this thing through... without topping.. as i stated, i was against it because natural growth was so awesome.. i have 4 main tops (3.5, cause i keep snapping on particular branch in my drunk attempts at super cropping, i know i said i wouldnt do it anymore, but the more pics i see of it, the more awesome it looks... i just suck at it insanely) and GREAT side branching.... the ony thing i can say is that this plant does NOT grow into spears... so im gonna have tons of little 1gr nuggets when its all said and done... which is cool wit me... i dont care about popcorn bud, it all smokes the same

Day 8

on day 7 i was making some food with the Roots organic Bloom nutes and at night before they went to bed i noticed some burned leaves at the top... its only on one of the tops, so i dont know if its nute burn or heat burn... i dont know how it could be heat stress if the other tops arent affected, but anyways.. i can tell that this plant is finiky with nutes... for real for real... so ill be cutting all nutes in half... until its time to use the MOAB... the plant is tall (for me)... it stands thigh high, about the size of a standing toddler.. im 6ft to give u a idea of how tall it is... its hard to believe that i have 10 more weeks of this..lol.. these first 8 days feel like murder... the plant still hasnt shown sex yet.. but it has its PREFLOWERS... so im sure the pistons will come out within the next 3-4 days... the ground temp of the tent is 83 F but the temp by the lights is 100F so i added a clip on fan that is placed awkwardly to blow air over the light to cool the tops the near towards it... i have about 2 feet left of tent space... so ill raise the lights as needed.. as i stated before.. all the little underlings have made it to direct light.. so im cooln as of now... im going to purchase a trailing net that u would use for Green Beans to sort of make a makeshift SCROG... to try to control what i have while the limbs are still somewhat pliable... i think i should have done this a long time ago.. but im a moron.. so i didnt

the ciritcal mass is doing just fine.. its about a foot high with 4 main tops and 2 lesser branches that have a chance at reaching the top
