Ok just for you jgo.....but really, this is turning into a weekly thing now.

I am 7.5-8 weeks into flowering. She is looking mighty fine with the red hairs, the leaves keep dying off so she looks close to trimmed already

Still another 1.5-2 weeks I'm thinking............place your bets!

looking lovely as always spacemonkeyman. i love the curves your plant has, the odd shaped/looking plants can be the most beautiful. i think 2 more weeks will be about right for harvest.

i have you some to look at on my thread, check 'em out when you have time. laterz

Thanks dude, I was surprised at how big she got too

Harvest time is coming up, hoping she'll finish by the 9th, it's gonna be a green christmas

She's on week 9 going on 10 of flowering, a bit longer than I thought she'd go but it's all worth the wait.

And..............bud porn!

you sure have done good with those 4 lights. you know, i dont know how your box is built, but you should think of putting the same setup of 3 or 4 more lights on the side of the box where you are taking pictures from. but I bet you will get an ounce of the girl. you gonna add more nutes, or are you flushing out now?

check out my girl hen you get a chance. she hasnt shown yet, but everytime i look at her she is running into my lights and i have to recalibrate. she is awesome!!!

nice plant what strain?

I should take a pic of the box when harvest time comes, but I'm pretty there's no more room for lights, the plant takes up most of the room, and I'm paranoid about the lights burning my bud as it is.

I'm flushing right now....actually I have been ever since I got the nute burn, I did use half nutes like two waterings ago just for a little extra something but I think I'm gonna water her tonight and that will be the last time I water

I checked your plant too, she's looking good, be careful with the lights getting too close they grow reaaaal fast during flowering.

Not sure about the strain, but if I had to guess I would say skunk or northern lights.

Definitely sativa though, she's long and strong.

New question: What sativa strains take 9-10 weeks flowering?

So close I can taste it...

the trichs are about 90% cloudy 8% clear and 2% amber.

I'm probably harvesting on friday or saturday, I'll be sure to snap some pics.

Until then, here's some macros I took last night.

I just took some more pics of the trichs.

There's one that looks like a schnoz (yiddish for nose) check it out!

looks good.. but im new , whats the rack for ?

The rack is for low stress training as well as holding the buds upright cause they get soooooo heavy.

I took more pics and clipped my first bud today, just smoked a big wet bowl. The taste was not so great but I sure am blazed right now!

The pics speak for themselves...thousands of words at a time.

it looks good man im just starting my first grow i shocked it when i moved it to a bigger pot :/ right now i have about 4 27 watt cfls wondering how my stuff might turn out. i also have 4 t12s on the sides for when it gets taller and i have to raise my 27,s higher

Thanks, sounds like you gotta nice setup.

I'm on week 11 of flowering, she's a leanin like the tower of pizza

Quick Update.

Top cola was leaning too far so I had to tie her up.

Pistils are receding a lot now, looking good.

Maybe another couple days before harvest.

Pics.

Lookn sweet SMM! I am bout to pop off my second one now. one seed just busted the shell, and i think the other one is opening up today. keep us posted with the GOOD porn!

I made a harvest thread in harvesting and curing, but I thought I should update here too for anyone following.

I cut her down tonight on the end of her 12th week of flower. It was a long wait but i think it payed off.

The wet weight is 75g, so I should be looking at 1 oz dry about.

I'm very happy with the final outcome and can't wait to smoke and start another grow.

The last pic is from 10/03/2009, when she was only 3 days into flowering....don't you love baby pictures?

wow..... looking good mann!! you gotta post some more pics tho from afer you take all the little leaves off.. and let u sknow what the exact dry weight it.. wow.. they do look good man.. i just made my own little slide show of all your pics... from the begining wen she 1st started to show white hair to then end.. lol. dont wanna sound like a dick.. but i think you might have flowered her just a little too long... im just sayin that cuz how brow the leaves are.. i know they yellow a bit and die off... but it just looks a little dark.. but you said you checked wit with a scope.. lol. soo you would know more than me.. either way.. it looks fuckin nice!! i got a question for ya tho... can u put up a pic of your case...?? i wanna see what it looks like from far away.. ive wondered that the whole grow.?? lol just curious.. but mann.. i gotta say tho im impressed with the way your plant turned out... this is by far one of my favorite grows!! and theres plenty of reasons why....

WOW! that is awesome for 4 lights! you have outdone yourself for your first grow. I hope your next grow is even better. What size pot did you grow her in? doesnt look to big in the pictures. i will look for the harvest thread now. that main cola is crazy!!!
