NIRVANA BLUE MYSTIC- MIKES FIRST GROW 3CFLs 1FLOURO TUBE

NEW PICS!!!

Also, i got only 1 good pic of it, but if you look at my last pic, you can see a 4-leaf wonder!

yo watch out for overwatering, your soil's completely soaked in all those pics, u want to let it dry out between waterings - also a fan or some light light light bending could strengthen that stem
good luck!

yeah, i noticed when i first started using this soil, i noticed that it tends to "hold moisture", so to assure myself that i dont get any root damage from the water sitting still, i just feed/water it about twice a week.

As for the stem, ijust recently aimed the fan more at my plant, i noticed that not having a fan blowing directly at it made the stem stay scrawny, so i aimed the fan directly at it on low power.

The plants stem got a little thicker so i turned the fan up, and again it got thicker. Now the fan's on high, aimed right at the plant and the plant is loving it, getting thicker every couple of hours...

Thanks for the comment, if you have any questions or advice please comment!

Happy Growing!!

Not much news on the little BM girl, shes been getting used to the 12/12 light cycle i put her on 3 days ago, I would post pics but i havent taken any since the last post due to the fact that she still looks the same. The phenotype i have seems to like to bide up its energy and then expend all of it in a growth spurt. It is pretty bushy so far, the branches started forming pretty decently, and i topped her about 3-4 days ago, so she's got both new tops growing now. BUT, where i cut the plant to top it, there is a stem with leaves growing STRAIGHT OUT of the middle of the cut stem, while the 2 other stems are growing beside it. What does that mean if when you top it, it grows 3 stems?

that means you FIMmed it - no biggie, and check lower cus u probably have new growth comin out all the nodes

Thanks a lot for your feed back BuddhaBud, I read up on FIMing and i think that sounds pretty likely, i cut the stem with a razor blade but i'm pretty sure the last 1/2 or so of it didn't cut as clean. So far, the 2 stems usually gotten from topping are a couple inches tall already, the third one(the black sheep) is still pretty small but looks pretty healthy still. I cut about 4 of the original fan leaves off, they were blocking light from the new branches that were growing out of the same node so i simply cut them off. The leaves have a lot of little resinous crystals but overall the plant maintains Nirvana's status as a "neutral"-smelling plant, unless you rub the leaves with your finger, in which case it smells fantastic(almost like a peppery smelling weed).

Anyways, thanks a ton for your support, I'm gonna post a few pictures in a few minutes probably. (I GOT MY FRIENDS HD CAMERA THIS TIME YAY!)

OK, so far the plant has had a few changes in the past 1 1/2 week:

*slight nute burn- I got a nute kit and decided to try it out, i mixed it to 1/4 strength but still it was too much i guess. Luckily for me i was there all day and noticed VERY EARLY ON that it was being burned so i flushed it with some good ol' water

*1 of 2 tops broke off- well, my 'friend' saw the plant and "accidentally" snapped one of the stems so now im down to just 1 top...

*the other top that WAS growing out of the original stem is no longer there- i cut it

*the top that was broken was just another attempt at cloning- I dipped it in Rootech cloning gel(http://www.technaflora.com/products.php?product=17) and put it into a 1/2 gallon pot of organic soil, this was 2 days ago but the leaves are not wilting so bad, not anything like my last (unsuccessful ) attempt. I also watered the organic soil with Root66(http://www.planetnatural.com/site/root-66.html)
