Newbie in Week 6 of Flower.

Hey gang;
It’s been about a month since my last post and since then, I've gone into flowering mode and 3 out of 10 clones have been successfully growing. I’m in week 6 of flower and I’m very excited. I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking. And remember, this is my first grow, EVER! All Constructive criticism welcome.

This first set was taken on week 4 of flower. I call them baby1 and baby2. I fucked up royally when I knocked over my seedlings and mixed them all up, so I have no freaken’ idea what strain they are. They’re either Lemon Thai Kush, which I believe is Baby1 or Top Skunk 44, which I think is baby2.

Baby1 was grown in a 10gallon fabric pot. She stands at 4 feet 2 inches.
i lollipop-ed her by cutting off about 8 nodes off the bottom, i think i could have pruned more. What ya'll think?


I think i should have pruned more deep inside Baby1. For example, the images at the bottom. Image 1 shows a stem that was not pruned, image 2 was pruned from the inside a bit more. However, i really don't see much of a difference in bud size. Actually, i think the stem that i didn't prune has bigger and more buds.

1 2



Baby2 in a 5gallon. She stands at a solid 3 feet. She could have been much bigger and taller if i didn't fuck up the transplant from plastic cup to pot. I ripped about %90 of her roots and sent her into major shock. Newbie mistake. you live and you learn. Also, i topped her off and got 4 beautiful Colas.



These are pics i took right after my lights went off this morning.


Specs:

Grow Closet: 23 Square Feet. 7 feet tall.

Medium: Roots Organics 707.

Nutrients: Roots Organics 5ml Master Feeding Schedule.

Light: 600w Apollo Ballast. Metal Halide for Veg, HPS for Flower.

Water: Reverse Osmosis. (my pH ranges from 6.0 to 6.5; its a pain in the ass to get it down to where i want it.)

Please, any constructive criticism and/or questions are welcome, as a matter of fact, i encourage it. I didn't do any type of training, i.e: super cropping, bending, etc. except for the topping and pruning. Would love to get more information on super cropping for my next babies.




Sincerely;

Sammy.

Also, what do ya'll think my yield looks like?

Anybody? Somebody?

I think your plants look outstanding. I don't guess on yields. A couple zips is reasonable though. Nice bud porn.

Its looking good man. Keep it up couple more weeks.

Couple zip-lock bags? 4-6 ounces? Hmmm... I really should have done some training on the big one. And most definitely should have bent and tied her down so more light could penetrate the deep canopy. O well, it's a learning process.

If you harvest carefully and keep everything labeled and all the buds of one plant together, you'll probably be able to figure out which is which when you smoke 'em.

They're looking really good. Congrats on how well you've done! I was also a lucky newbie and had a great first grow. I got 6oz (dry) off two plants that I topped, so I didn't have that big main cola, but four nice size slightly smaller colas. I was VERY happy with the outcome considering it was my first time.

Just be diligent in choosing your harvest point, and then slow hang dry and careful jarring -- make sure on the hang dry that you have air moving around the plants and that you watch the humidity in the jars really carefully. You've done SO well -- don't make the mistake of letting mold ruin all that effort! Once you harvest you have about another 6 weeks of work ahead of you!

Krypton, I really appreciate the pat on the back and the advice for harvest, but I'm a bit confused as to why 6WEEKS of hard work after harvest?

Nice trunk, that thing's huge. I'm wondering how long it vegged. As for super cropping, you just pinch branches and crush the inside, while the outside skin looks the same. I pinch my branches in multiple spots. I think the only issue for you is that your trees get so big... you want to super crop before your branches are the size of human fingers.

Thanks smokefat, good question. I vegged for 6 weeks. Maybe even closer to 7 Due to the fact that I placed her in a 10 gallon. I really wanted to get the most out of all that soil. It really tested my patience. And thanks on the supercropping advice. Looks like ima have to move in into my closet and grow in my room. Ha!

1 zip=1 ounce

Jaz: really? 2 ounces maybe 3 off these 2 plants???

Does anyone else have a different opinion?

I am just implying that 1 once = 1 bag. I did not mean that that was going to be his total haul. Not sure, but thought that he was not sure what "1 zip" meant. I never give an estimate on the total yield due to a lot of variables involved.

Those plants look great Are you sure your a newb...lol Nice and green in week 6,my hat is off to you sir.

You should have read my earlier posts. Newb mistake after newb mistake. I started off with 6 germinated seeds ended with these 2. Also I'm really happy with roots organics. Their soil and organic feeding schedule are amazing. Well, that's my opinion, haven't used anything else; as well as saving up $1000 to build my grow closet. Thank the Weed Gods for they have blessed me with beginners luck. Oh, and not to mention the RollitUp community for all your help. Thanks guys.

As for my question on expected yield . Guess I'm going to have to wait and see.

finally bro someone can veg a plant like me to like 6 feet tall

+ rep for noob treeees

I love Roots Organics, I am running the master 5ml program right now..good choice.

I wish i had that big of a yield I should have gotten bigger pots and done hps instead of cfl and I should have had better organic nutrients. I guess i'll have next season to try it again. Just gotta make due with what I have and learn from my mistakes.
