Quick update....
The plants have been flowering for 6 weeks now. Flowering time is suggested at 7-8 weeks so I'll be keeping a close eye on them. Think there's still about 3 weeks to go.
Still feeding every few days with Canna Terra Flores and mollasses. Will pick up some Canna PK13-14 for the last two feeds before flushing...
I pick off a few yellow leaves every morning but not enough to stress the plants.

Bud rot doesn't seem to have returned thankfully...

Some pictures :weed:

It's good to see you starting to get yellow leaves.
Thats the first sign of her being ready.
I think 7 weeks might be a bit hopeful if they are on 6 weeks now.
Def' won't be long though.
Lovely looking girls, they remind me of GreenB's cinnamons a bit.
Nice grow Staro. puff puff........pass :joint:

The weather has been stunning so far today. Better than most of Aug!
Just had a look at the forecast and it looks really good for the next 5 days...

I reckon only 2 weeks to go so maybe a final burst of bud growth. Fingers crossed

looking good im about 2 weeks behind you.
i am also feeding molasses and canna terra flos and bio bloom.
also got some pk13/14 for after week 6 flowering.

are you using a greenhouse.

i would give your plants a little longer.
the longer you leave them the better.
they will be ok unless it frosts.
are you growing in a green house?.

here are some of my flowering pics so far.

Nope not growing in a greenhouse. I started to force flower in a dark room on 07/08/08

I got some PK 13/14 today. It says on the back to use only once...
Surely I should use it 2-3 times...
Well if you think I have 4 weeks left I will start to use PK 13/14 this week.
Should I use it with Canna Terra Flores or alternate each watering, with with Flores; one with PK???

I'll add some proper photos at the start of next week...

Hi Staro, how's it going mate? Your girls are looking awesome, some nice buds there ;) They remind me of my Purple Powers a bit. My Cinammons are still all leaves and flowers but no buds LOL. You can see them all later today on my journal once I get some pics up all being well. Glad your bud rot seems to have gone. I was very worried about that myself given all the rain we've had, but mine are still outside 24/7 and the wind seems to dry them out pretty quick once the rain stops (which hasn't been too often hehe). Keep up the great work mate, you've done well. Catch you later Staro ...

Yeah I'm really pleased with them to be honest!
Added some Canna PK 13/14 so hopefully the buds will swell up a fair bit more before I cut them down. Looking forward to seeing your plants greenb.
Yep bud rot hasn't returned but the weather has been very good to us in the last 10 days.
Yeah mine are outside 24/7 now as the photoperiod has dropped right down. No more getting up at 8am to put them out. Although I'm glad I did it to get the girls flowering a few weeks early.

Cheers for the kind words

A picture of my trusty watering can!

Some sad news I'm afraid guys.
My plants were swiped last night.
They were a week from harvest.

As you guys know they were being kept by a guy I know at his house.
The shed they were in (due to the rain) was not locked for the first time ever.
Nobody knew about these plants other than myself, him and my gf.

I think he's pulled a fast one on me.
Sad times

Over and out

Shit Staro, terrible news mate I'm really sorry to hear that. You must be gutted, especially with only a week to go. I really sympathise with you man, it's the one thing that I really worry about myself and it sends the shivers up my spine. Sounds like yer man did the dirt on you right enough, probably got someone to come and take them. Either that or he just couldn't keep his mouth shut. All I can say is keep your chin up mate, hope you're not taking it TOO badly. I'll be thinking about you Staro ;)
