13 Days of flowering
48 Days from seed


OOPS!

So I decided to LST my tallest Bubblelicous.It was growing at such a fast rate and I was afraid I might run out of vertical space.So I read up on it....and most the info I found said it was ok to LST a plant while its flowering.I started to LST it and my wife asked if she could help.She's been wanting to get more involved with the gardening.I held the main stem down after swaying it back and forth a few times.It had a nice arc to it as I ready it for tying down.My wife went to tie the knot with the string we were using and just as she was going to cinch the knot, she yanked down to hard and SUPERCROPPED the main stem.The outer part of the stem did not break open at all...just the inside center folded over.I didn't even hear or feel a snap.
I think it will turn out OK...I'm not worried.
Just another learning experience for the both of us.

Here are the height measurements I took the day I started their 12/12 cycle:
Bubblelicous1 (auto) - 11"
Bubblelicous2 (auto) - 11"
Baby Bubblelicous (auto) - 7 1/2" (25 days of veg)
Master Kush - 11"


Todays height measurements:
Bubblelicous1 -33"
Bubblelicous2 - 23"
baby Bubblelicous - 25 1/2"
Master Kush - 22 1/2"

As you can see the 1 Bubblelicous grew 22" in 12-13 days.

She'll mend so long as the stem didn't completely seperate. Just a minor boo boo. Everything else is copacetic Low man. Keep em green.

Thanx Bones. It seems that marijuana helps her a lot more than the pills they have her on. Just wish they would make it legal nation wide.
As far as creating a list of things to start your grow, just keep reading and reading and reading some more. RIU has a lot of good info. There are so many different ways of growing that you have to find out what suits your needs best. If you need any help just ask. I'm a noob but I'll try to help as best as I can. Glad to have inspired you. Good luck with your future grows.Stop by and visit again.

I received replacement seeds from NIRVANA today.They sent 5 FEM White Castle and 5 FEM Auto Bubblelicous in a small candy tin.I'm very happy with their customer service and would order from them again.

Thanx Charlie!

Peace

It will be legal one day. If any of us will live to see it happen, we will have to wait and see I guess. I certainly hope so. Why'd they send you replacement seeds?

lookin awesome. how long are you going to be flowering them? and what do you guys think about those Green Pads that you stick somewhere near your plants that generates co2 when activated by humidity?

Do you think bending your stem is better? (pic 1/2). What did you do? Just bend and break it a lil? I was just considering doing that to my outdoor plant but don't think its a good idea, I think its more of a indoor thing to have more of the plant closer to the light right?

Thanx...The Bubblelicous I'm guessing 8 weeks and the Master Kush 9 -10 weeks.I won't know exact times until their ready to harvest.I don't know anything about the green pads...sorry.

I wanted to LST it because of height restrictions I have in my tent.But it was accidentally Supercropped instead.Thought it might run out of room in there.Seems to be recovering fine...But peeps do Supercrop during veg to lower the plant and make it bushier and to change the way the buds grow.So instead of 1 main cola the plant can be topped then supercropped or LST'd creating multiple medium size colas.

Do you think supercropping or LST increases yield a lot?

Nice ladies Low

Nice grow man. I need to start LST my auto BB also. They are getting way to tall.
