Nice update man! Don't go back to thumbnail style because image viewer is not compatible with touch experience. i’m sure a lot of users do browse with touch screen devices. Shame for rollitup developers :!:

Oh, I didn't know that! Thanks! Will definitely not use thumbnails anymore.


Thanks alot everyone for the kind words!

I have a question about nutrients. I'm not going to use Bio-Heaven or Bio TopMax since I've read bad things about them,
but I'm thinking of maybe to get another flower nutrient/additives. I don't really care about the grow being organic, but since I'm using organic stuff
(Bio Bizz soil and nutrients) I probably not want to mess around with some chemicals.

Any suggestions/inputs?

I've read tons of good stuff about Advanced Nutrients Big Bud but I can't find out wether it's organic or not.
 
IMO (for what its worth) Stick to just the bio bizz soil and bio bloom nutes. You can start messing about with other stuff but i belive in K.I.S.S - Keep It Simple Stupid. (not implying your stupid lol thought I will point that out). I think Adavanced Nutrients Big Bud isn't organic but don't hold me to that!

Yeah, I agree. After all, it's my first grow and probably shouldn't get carried away, he he.
As you say, best to not mess around with other products. Bought a bottle of Bio Bizz Alg-A-Mic though to give her some Cal-Mag and improve overall health.
Mixing it up with Fish Mix in a bottle and use as a foliar spray once a day (1 ml Alg-A-Mic and 1 ml Fish Mix to 1.5 liters of water).

EDIT: Oh, and your opinion is worth alot man!
 
Thanks man lol.
Sounds all good what you doing but ill stick my hand up and admit i know 0 about foiler feeding. Hope you don't mind but just started a journal if want to tag along? Pictures are not up yet but still:

Count me in!

By the way, have you read up on Humboldt nutrients?
I remember that I've read some really bad stuff about it when I first did some research for what nutrients I was going to use.

Just a heads up!

EDIT: LOL! It was a strain named Humboldt! Thought you ment the nutrients :)
 
LOL! no worries man.
I just stupidly went digging for my NL sprout and killed it :/ ha.
O well popping another one...
2 Auto pineapple express just gone into dirt. They seem to be rapid! There tap root over an inch within 24hrs paper towel method... hope this is sign of fast growth to come.

Count me in!

I think I put her to flower within the seven days, regardless of the growth.

And here's my Auto Blue Mystic (feminised) which will be grown in a PC case :)

And finally, I got myself two early christmas presents.

Wow, looking really good man, hope you get some nice big kolas with all those tops!
Keep it going brah and good luck with the Blue mystic!
Subbed!
 
I like how your bongs are matching... please tell me those are glass and not acrylic though

I'd say you're about set to go into flowering... Dont wanna overfill that screen like i did.

Thanks alot for the kind words, and you're more than welcome! :)

Heh, I'm sorry to disappoint you but yeah... it's acrylic. These two bongs were just an impulsive buy since the shop had 70% off on just acrylic bongs.
So got these two for like 30$ (shipping included). Wiiiiiiiiiin!



Oh by the way... I just threw up a grow journal for my first PC grow. Check it out if you want!
PC Grow: 1 x Auto Blue Mystic - ScrOG / 250W CFL
 
I switched her over to 12/12 today after 10 weeks of veg, 75 days to be exactly.
Count in germination and sprouting and we're looking at 80 days so far.

That thing is gonna be a beast, good thing you didn't wait any longer to start the flowering. Did you top/fim that at all? I let my plant veg for about 45 days, fim'ed it once early on, then two more times on secondary branches a few weeks before flowering. I now have about 20 bud sites with a few smaller ones appearing underneath the main canopy. I bet you'll get 40+ if you did indeed top your plant.
 
The thing is going to get big as hell. Lets hope you have enough height available for those colas.

Yeah, I did topped her once and then topped/FIM:ed her twice. I took some shots where I did make the cuts for you!

Hehe, I hope so too. Would kinda suck to have put in so much effort and have to chop it because of oversize... lol, that would really suck.

-

Today I gave her blom/flower nutes for the first time, 1 - 1.5 ml/l dosage. I also keep feeding with Fish Mix (1 ml/l), Alg-A-Mic (2 ml/l) and Grow (1 ml/l) but now when she's in flower I won't use the Fish Mix or Alg-A-Mic as a foliar feed anymore, only as water feeding to the roots.



Anyway, here's pictures!


I wasn't able to get a better picture but here's where I made the first cut which then formed a Y.

After I made that cut I think I waited a week or two then I made the next TOP/FIM cut which splitted into four branches as you, hopefully, can see in this picture.

Then, just a few days later I once again topped/FIM:ed for the last time.

And here just two bonus pictures.
