Looking at the pics, I see new growth. Calyx's that are swelling out more. yet some more amber trichs, and some more orange or white hairs. wow. I guess I have to just feed her water from here on out. I see the new growth, and I want to grow her more before I harvest, but if she is starting to look ready, then I need to do it right. Wow. I can't wait for my next grow, it will be so much better! I learned a lot on this grow.

amazing huh?? you have found your new favorite hobby lol welcome to the RIU community my man.. plant is lookin good by the way keep it up meng

I can't see the trichs too well from the pics, but I think you'll be good either way. Personally I'd feed once more just based on the look of the pistils, plus you'll get some more swelling for sure if you do that. Good luck bro, youre gonna have some nice smoke soon!

Yoitsslobo, yes! I have my new favorite indoor hobby!! Without a doubt. When the lights come on, I am right there, checking her out lol. It's truly amazing to see the growth of a plant, one that is watched as closely as cannabis.
homer371, yes, you are right. I fed her again tonight. She is still growing! Unbelievable. I don't mind the wait, it will be worth it lol. I am going to just watch her, and do what she tells me to do. When the trichs are 30% or so, I will stop the feed, and begin the flush. Flush as much as I can, until the trichs are about 50%. Then harvest. Unless at 30% she is still growing, then I will feed her again, and then check lol. Just a process, but an easy one. So it's cool! Right On!
Here she is tonight!!

Well this is interesting!! I am seeing new growth all over her buds!! I fed her the other day, and I guess she really liked it! Question I have to ask is: Is this normal? lol. She isn't going into some kind of veg. state again is she? Somehow? I'm a noob, I know lol. I should just be happy that the buds are fattening up even more than they already did lol. And I am. Happy. lol. Check her out:

She may be trying to produce more energy for herself. The leaves are the factories that feed her. She wants to make even bigger nuggets for you so she is making new leaves to make more food to make bigger Nuggets. Just a guess. I wouldnt complain about what you have got there...thats some nice looking shit. The color is amazing!

hey allforit, what's new with the lady? she still popping out new growth or what? curious to see how she's lookin...

Hey All! Sorry it's been so long since my last update!!
Truth be told, not much going on with her, but she is, yes, Homer371, getting some new growth! She is almost ready for harvest! I didn't post any updates for a bit because she really didn't do anything, except turn some pistils from pink/purple to white. I believe she is getting ready. So, I am now just watering her from here on out. No nutes. I want to leach out all the vinegar, nutes, that I gave her. So just water, then a 48 or 72 hr period of darkness, then chop chop choppy!!! lol. I hate to chop her. She is so pretty. But she must come down, that is her use. To be my medicine. Take away my chronic pains. So she shall be used, properly. My name is Doctor, lol.
Here is some pics I took yesterday, to share with all of U:

Hey man glad to see the update, looking good! You have a unique looking plant, so I don't know for sure, but looks to me that the white pistils still have some receding to do before she's ready. Still looks like she could go another couple weeks, but just my opinion. Anyway, looking better than before, for sure. Peace bro.

hi homer371! So what is this thing about pistils receding? I have read that a few times, but I don't really understand it. If she can grow for another few weeks, I will let her. I'm in no hurry to chop her down, the only thing I don't want is to have a super couch lock bud at the end lol. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

I'm interested myself never heard of that one but I know what point your talking about.

hey allforit and hippysmoke, i put together these pics from my grow showing what receding pistils look like (it's a purple diesel, from my first grow). hopefully it helps you and maybe others:






peace - homer371

Right on, homer371! Thanks for the pics, that is cool! Yeah, I went ahead and fed her again tonight, I was going to just water, but some of the buds are dying off, and I'm not sure why. It's the small ones, most on their own branches. They are just yellowing and dying, and I don't know if I should be picking those off or what???? Shouldn't I pick them before they die and brown out, so I can dry and smoke them?

nice very informative thanks!

Yes allforit, if buds are falling off you should start harvesting. Sorry man, I didn't realize that was happening. The plant might be telling you it's done and ready to flush and harvest...

Anyone else have a thought?

I will try to get some pictures posted tonight of the buds I am talking about. They are small ones, on branches all by themselves. The main cola's are still doing ok, although I think they are starting to do weird things too. It's been a weird, wild grow. lol. I can't wait for my next grow, because it will be better. Any thoughts on this are more than welcome! I sure could use them

Yeah, the pics will help! As for the little side buds that are falling off, if those are dry enough you can give them a test smoke If not just put them in a paper bag for a day or three until they're crispy enough to burn. Good luck bro.

Thanks homer371! Yes, I will get pics a bit after 7, as long as i am home, and my batteries hold out lol. I want to show u what i mean. now, question? first grow and all. when i "pick" a bud off, do I have to cut it at the stem, or can I literally just pull on it, and pick it off? with those small ones that is. I read somewhere that cutting on the plant will cause it to stop "growing" so it can repair the cut? is that true?

Not sure about that. I think you might as well cut at the bottom of the stem so you can hang them up side down I they need drying. For the little side buds it probably doesn't matter too much either way though. Look forward to those pics!

no pics. I knew it. my batteries died after 1 picture. dammit. i went ahead and picked/cut off about 6 or 7 of them. they are really dried on the bottom, leaves and bottom of bud is all dead and brittle and yellow. i hope it's not some weird disease? lol. i'm paranoid about smoking my own buds lol. i won't be able post pics till like tomorrow. hopefully. i am going to just dry them out a few days, and go from there.
