my first grow: pc case x lst x bagseed

awesome. thanks

Nice job! Don't worry bout those yellow leaves, it happens naturally. Ideally you stop feeding a few weeks before harvest so all the leaves yellow up.

yeah, i had read that yellowing is common early on in flower and then again later in flowering. but it just yellowed the whole time..haha. oh well. getting close! could probably harvest any day now, but i'm gonna go another week or so. i watered tonight, and looking at my journal, i've been watering every ~4 days. so i'm thinking last water on monday the 21st, start dark period in the morning (when the lights have always been going off) and then chop exactly a week from today. trichomes i'd say are about 15% amber, 80% milky and 5% clear. but that's just a rough guess...there's definitely more amber than before though. anyways, pics!

week 13 overall, week 9 12/12, week 7 (day 50) flowering

Good grow in such a small area mate... Hope it's potent as shit! Can't wait to hear more

Your buds look great Very nice first grow! So are you doing your next one in a tent?

thanks i'm probably not going to do a tent, as much as i'd love to...i got a couple auto fem seeds that i might do in the pc again..or i might do a small sog-style solo cup 12/12 from seed grow. or i might get some photo fem seeds and work on some lst techniques...i dunno, this time of year i'm really busy with work and i don't think i can really put the time into it that i'd like to, so i may go on a brief hiatus. this grow is just for fun and to gain some insight into growing. someday i'd like to expand out of a pc case, but for now it's a fun little hobby on the side. i definitely learned a lot and still have a ton to learn.

Awesome man.

The hairs def are far out of the bud so focus on them( wait till they're almost not showing ) not the trichs, I've seen people who harvested like 90% milky and got some shitty effects

So watch the hairs, not the trichs?

i dunno man...everything i've read has said to ignore the hairs and go by the trich's....and there are a ton of variables to 'shitty effects' besides the trichomes..having said that, it looks like the hairs are starting to recede today...didn't check the trics though (yet, might later). i'm gonna see how she looks over the next few days. it might just be me, but it looks like the buds are really starting to fatten up

update: week 14 overall, week 10 since 12/12, week 7 (basically 8, 55 days) in flower.

no pics tonight, too lazy. tric's are looking good, more amber now, and it's pretty much the same ratios from bud to bud. i'm going to do another watering on saturday/sunday, and one more wed/thurs. then start the 72 hr dark period after that. that'll put it at just over 9 weeks (almost 10 weeks) in flower when i chop. it looks like there could be more time for the pistils to recede and the buds to fatten up a little bit more. the runoff is back up to ~6.0 now. i'll put up pics definitely before she goes in the dark, but maybe one more before then. and depending on how she looks this weekend, might just start the dark after the next water

week 14 since sprout, week 10 since 12/12, week 8 (56 days) actual flower. i've decided today is the last day of light for her. i'd say it's at least 30% amber tric's; some buds more, some less. it doesn't look like much has changed in the past few days. it was a bit warm here and i wasn't running the ac in the house so the temps ran a little high (maxed out ~85*f in the box)...anyways, i watered one last time tonight and i'll start the 72 hour dark period when the lights go out in the morning. that puts me harvesting monday (maybe tuesday, depends on work). i just snapped a few pics tonight, but i'll get more detailed ones come harvest day. and it looks like the lime i added a few weeks ago is finally starting to do its thing...pH of the runoff is now up to ~6.0-6.5.

Congrats on your finished work. Their so beautiful, hypnotic even...

thanks. i definitely found myself just staring at the plant on more than one occasion...haha

Looks sweet as man! Ur gunna get some nice smoke outta that

I'm sure we all just sit and stare at our plants from time to time, I know I do! Hehe

ya got that right! colas glistening under the lights looks so good.

Hey I havent posted on RIU before now, have spent a few weeks reading up, i was just wondering, what are the dimensions of the container your using?? GREAT looking bud.

Def wanna see your final weight!!!

Great man, whats the final weight?

the widest points: 7 1/8" long (edge of 'handle' to other 'handle') x 5 1/4" wide x 5 9/16" tall

actual dimensions of the inside of the container: 5 7/8" long x 4 3/4" wide x 5 1/2" tall

so you end up with ~153.5 in3 (2.5 litres) of medium. i think i could've even gone bigger with the container. just before flowering there were some roots coming out of the drain holes. i just trimmed them and since in flower they don't really grow their roots at all, they haven't come back out. but i probably could've gone another week or two in veg.

not sure of weight yet. i checked her tonight, and she definitely is smelling stronger and is much more frosty already. still got another ~48 hours of dark before i chop. i'll put up a wet weight and pics once i actually harvest
