808, your plants are looking oh so sexy. I love how frosty they look on the close-ups.

JxAxG - your plants are looking nice and healthy. Looks like you have some slight burning on the leaf tips. How much nutrient are you feeding your Northern Light baby? You may want to dial it back a little....

I'm only using 1 teaspoon per gallon. It's not burn, they all have done that. Once the leaf grows full the yellow disappears, matter of fact I have had no problems with the plant at all, so far so good ( knocking on wood).

nah actually I have never tried hydro before always wanted to, but I have grown outdoors with success so many times I am used to monster yeilds from outdoors plants, this is my 3rd indoor grow ever. I wouldn't even know where to begin with hydro lol.

Thanks, hopefully I get good yeilds out of this, im gonna have to move her in the window Im running out of vertical growth. I didn't think 26 watt cfls could grow it that good, probably cause I have it surround by them, 6 in all. I'll keep you on the up.

Looks like your buds are really starting to swell 808. You thinking about 15-20 days before you chop? La Musa is at Day 60 today and I've started her on pre-harvest nute formula. I'll keep her there for for 5 days or so and then I will flush with ph adjusted water for the remaining time until I chop.....I salivate everytime I look at her.

Awesome! I love this stage of flowering. It goes from covered in white hairs to buffing out with frosties in a 10-14 day period. Other than harvest, day 40-60 is my favorite time cause it's amazing to see how quick it buffs out afterwards. You prolly have a month left maybe 40 days if you count the curring depending on how you choose to cure it.

Yea i think they will be good to harvest in a couple weeks... dry them for a few days... then cure til i feel like smoking them...

Two of the girls look like they will be done a whole lot sooner then the other three. I will be chopping them down first....

Yup the plant tells you, never been one to get all dramatic with magnifiers, I just wait til' it looks right.

Here it is now at 46 days, been in the spare room for 2 days, I had to move it, ran out of space,wasn't expecting it to be 4 feet tall. But thats a good thing. The first one I grew only got like a half ounce wet but it did not branch out it was just a 12 inch bud stalk so maybe I got a different seed accidently when they packed it. Either way it's been a good start, 2 for 2 on auto's, thus far.

Ya, mine are starting to really swell. I am really feelin' myself for the success I've had on this first run. I can't wait to harvest La Musa, one to get some good smoke (I'd be surprised if I have less than 50 grams when its all said and done), but also because removing her from the closet will clear up a bunch of space for my 3 photos.

You have any comparison observations with regard to your LST vs Topped vs Natural? I am curious as to where that experiment stands now that you are almost done.

Well the topped girl has some really big colas however they dont look very dense. They look more airy looking. The lst girls dont hav as big a cola but you can tell they are nice and tight. I think lst is still the way to go but we will see in a week or so...
