Right about where yours are now is when I hit mine with two weeks worth of pk 13-14 and picked up another four inches of cola. You're well on your way to 5 z's at least if you can keep the bugses away. watch for budworms. I mean really really check those buds on a daily basis or you'll be sooorrrry!! Stay on top of those yellowing leaves. Not sure what ya got going there but if that's my only plant..........I'm concerned.

Gotta love the outdoors but there's danger out there too!! Good grow man, green hits!!

I think a lot of the yellowing has to do with me not feeding her during the stretch. Like I said, thought she was getting nute burn so I didn't feed. I don't think she was getting nute burn lol. Oh well, all a learning process. :) Sucks, but I am just doing this for fun, a learning experience and some "free" smoke.

I have been using spino(in the begining and have been checking the buds daily. I see chewed up leaves but I do not see any cats so I am thinking some other beastie.) VERY rarely do I see chewed up leaves and its like the tip of a fan leaf and thats it...nothing intense. I am going to spray her one last time with spino and just keep an eye on her. I don't see many butterflies around here. I have A LOT of birds and they do a good job of catching the bugs. I am concerned about the yellowing, but there isn't much I can do. I have to admit, I haven't checked the ph and that may be a problem. But the kit cost 20$ and I am in a pinch, I need all the money I can use right now...shit happens. Hopefully she pulls through :)

Gorgeous girl ya got there.. congrats. I have one that looks just like her but a lil bigger. Same yellowing of a few leaves. Dont bother me to see some fan leaves yellow and fall off as long as the leaves up the cola's are healthy. I think of it as the plant just using up some stored NRG.

Could nute burn look like purpling? It wasn't very cold last night(lowest maybe 60) and I see my plant is starting to get purple/dark edges. From my understanding, nute burn shows brown dying yellow tips, progressing inward. Some leaves have this(slightly) but I knew this would pro happen a little bit...bubble is a light feeder.

Stopped the yellowing for a bit and there isn't much I can do about it anymore, she is already showing signs of some nute burn(or that's my guess at least) I don't think she is going to make it to full maturity, but I am going to ride it out. I believe she has about 2-3 more weeks to go. She will probably make it to 2....hopefully. I will snap some pics when my batt is charged. What do I do if I have nute burn? Flush? Or just water normally with regular water..?

We'll, I slowed down the yellowing as you can see, but the plant is still super light green lol. She got nute burn from me trying to correct the yellow leaves...oops. Anyway, how many more weeks do you think? I am thinking 2-3. and as for yield? My pops says 2 zips. I say 3...hopefully.

if u transplant directly into the grown and veg the shit outta it yull get a huge yield but being in that pot stunts the growth..

I would stop feeding. Just water as needed. She looks healthy enough to last a couple more weeks. Nice job, even if you almost loved her to death!

I am going to stop feeding...just molasses every other till chop. And yes, I did almost love her to death. First, because I loved her so much I didn't feed her in veg thinking she was getting nute burn from the soil, now...coincidentally, burning her myself. I got lucky and didn't burn her too bad, and she is indeed strong enough to go the 2 weeks I'm sure of it :]

My girl is so close I can almost taste it! [video=youtube;pzL9kSQ7aV0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzL9kSQ7aV0[/video] She has really fattened up since the last set of pics...Or at least it seems so. I will upload some pics later today. The other day a sick praying mantis was just chillin on one of my buds, got a couple pics of that. I looked at a bud under a scope and it seemed to me she was 60% Milky 30% clear 10%amber. So I'm thinkin chopping her next fri or sat should work out. Should I do 48 or 72hrs of dark? I hear you dont need to go 72 and it won't do much, but I figure...it's not really going to hurt it. So idk. Anyway, I'm so stoked to get her harvested. My dad is telling me hang it up with newspaper wrapped lightly around the buds. He Is one of those "Thats how we used to do it back in the day" kinda guys. But I am telling him let me do it my way and I'll show him whats up :) lol. I'm going to get the caliber III hygrometer to ensure I don't let my buds mold up like last time and I get a good cure. Hopefully she ends up being bombskiezzz :weed:

Yeee, I'm pretty stoked! :razz: Just put my baby into the shed for 48 or so hrs of dark. Going to harvest Fri...I cant wait! Trichs were mostly cloudy... 80% milky 10% clear 10% amber, it's raining this week so decided to just chop now...took a bottom nug off, quick dried it in a paper bag on top of a handful of rice on top of my cable box for a little heat...dries it out in about 10hrs and doesn't taste TOO bad...well, I am pretty ripped hitting it out of the bubb...it's definitely stoney and it's making me mess up terribly while I type(I review it for mistakes), but that could also be because its late and I can't focus as much, a little bit of couch lock fsure which I am sure and hoping the cure will bring out..:eyesmoke: It feels good to grow something this good, I wish I would have cloned her..there is now way to do that now huh??lol meh. Cant wait to trim her up and get her in the jars, I'm confident she's going to be some dank backyard Cali outdoor if I can get the cure right. Any suggestions? I think I am going to build a dry box with a rubbermaid, and an exhaust..someone built one on her..wish I could find it. I was hoping I could dry it in my shed, but its harder to maintain the right temps. I am going to try to get pics up..I use my moms comp for that and I haven't had access to it.

Now I'm sleepy :sleep:

Shes all harvested up :) Nice compact little nugs. She dried out pretty fast due to poor drying conditions. I had the bud in a mini fridge dry box I made. But the humidity in the room and the amount of airflow going through I think caused them to dry too quick. I have them jarred up now, and they do smell a litle when I open the jar, I am just hoping the hay smell goes away with the cure. I am a little disappointing on yield..I am thinking 2 ounces, maybe less(or more..could be super dense..) Talking about yield, when I planted my seed I planted in a jiffy pot. When I pulled the roots, the bot was somewhat intact and had made the roots spiral and kind of get root bound in the pot...I'll have to post pics. I think this may have effected the yield because it seems the plant could have had bigger roots...the roots hardly filled the pot...buncg of feeeder roots all over though.


What should I do with my trim? I have about an ounce or so.
