Sounds good man. you really should of tried to do the light schedule at night since it is so damn hot here in AZ. But its all trial and error. Can't wait to see those ladies blow up!

Thanks Bird - the four big ones Afghani Bullrider (3) and Jack Herer (1). The four smaller plants on the outside are mixed bagseed that came from either: Sour Grape, Grass Hopper of Jack Herer. I will PM you would love to trade, my only concern is that I don't have a space set-up to clone - not even sure how to do it.

All you need is a 2'x2' counter space. Clones are really easy and don't require alot of light or even room. I'll keep in touch with you and if you need any help just let me know.

Alright Team RIU, here is 1.5 weeks into Flower - 12/12. Next time i will trim/LST more before flower, but so far I am pretty pleased with the developments. Here again are 3 Afghani Bullriders and one Jack Herer (slower to flower than the ABR).

Thoughts opinions are always welcome.

Thanks - j

OK - here we are 15 days into flowering. I guess i am pretty pleased, however i have no idea what to expect at this point. Hoping to yield 6-8 zips when all is said and done. Opinions or suggestions are always welcome. The four big plants are under a 600W HPS and the two smaller ones in the 4th photo are under their own 400W HPS and the smallest one in that photo is my first attempt at LST - looks like i have 9 nice bud sites.

Amazing job so far! They are looking very lush and healthy. Whatever you are doing keep it up man. You seem to be dialed in on those bullriders!

They are really starting to drink a lot of water. I used to be able to water them every 4th day, but yesterday i checked on them and they were all very wilted. Gave them water n bloom nutes and they perked right up. I am going to start watering every other day.

OK, things are getting exciting - 21 days into flowering and you can see everything starting to develop according to plan.

For 21 days - what do you guys think? I am hoping to yield about 6-8 Zips - possible?

The three little babies are from seed - they look pretty Indica - probably Grasshopper, Sour Grapes or God willing 11:59 Armageddon - since i won't really know what they will be, I will call them Honey Badger.

Wow, what a great grow. I can't believe you just started. I'm a new patient from Michigan and i'm about to begin growing my own medication too. Do you mind if i ask how much that room and the equipment has cost you so far? It's probably a lot but you'll be able to make every penny back in pain relief with grows like this!

Thanks Cardinals7, its a lot of work, but a labor of love. Including my Veg Tent i am probably @ about $2,300. That is with construction materials to build grow room. In all honesty i dont care about ever making a penny, i need the medicine and i simply LOVE the hobby! Its a lot of fun when you stay on the right side of the law, i would be too nervous otherwise. Good luck bro!

One plant is starting to have her bottom leaves yellow and fall off.

Pretty normal at this stage?

It's taking nitrogen from the lower leaves since i'm sure you haven't been feeding them nitrogen or gro nutes this far into flower.
just make sure you clear out all the shit that falls so you dont run into any problems.


-edit: and if you are feeding them nitrogen I would stop.
it'll help out later on when you're smoking it.

And yes you will get 6-8 zips if i read correctly you have like 8 plants right?... probably lookin at 10-12 if everything goes the way its going.

there people who get like 1 ounce per plant off autoflowers... short little snubby things.

your plants are bushes, think about it.
