Hello. This is the end of veg stage and the first week of flowering.
I had 1 plant that spent 2 weeks in the greenhouse before it showed me it was a female. So it was a little behind the others. It's now as dark green as the others. Last night I trimmed the plants up and put in tomato cages to hold up the big buds that are coming. So I'll wait a day or 2 for the plants to heal before I flip to 12/12. I hope the pants don't stretch too much. I let them grow a little taller than I normally would waiting for that 1 plant to catch up. It is what it is.
I attended a cannabis conference this week in Victoria B.C. and took a 1 day Grow at Home workshop. Remo from Remo Nutrients talked and gave out some free mini Super Charged Grow Kits. I looked it up when I got home to see it was $132. each retail. There wasn't many of us in the class so he said if anyone wants another I've got some extra. So I got another 1. At lunch the person sitting beside me said "I don't want this do you"? So I got another 1. Wow what a bonus!!!
Ed Rosenthal spoke next. Wow, Ed live, I've got some of his books that have helped me over the years of growing. So this was a real treat to see him live. Even thou I was happy to see him, when he talk he had a lot of ums ahs between words that made it hard to listen too. And I was a bit embarrassed for him as well. You could see he was really trying to get the word out but it wouldn't come out and gave him trouble. So he said ah or um. Yes, he has smoked a lot of pot in his day and I can see how that would effect his speaking. It will probably happen to me too. Every once in a while I can't find the word I want to say and it's frustrating. I can see it getting worse the older I get and still smoking pot. But I was glad to see him anyway.

@Ringo, Thanks Buddy. I guess I forgot to change my hours in the diary. I edited it now. Got to look my best if I'm going to win some cannabis stuff. Thanks again. Chuck.
@Ringo, Hello. I had switched the light to 12.5 hours of light and 11.5 hours of dark at the start of flowering. When I first started growing indoors, the Dutch growers, wouldn't include the first 2 weeks of flowering because you couldn't see any flowers. They would put down 6 to 7 weeks flowering and when we flowered them, they took 8 to 9 weeks to finish. I think everyone does it the same now. Except for autos, they flower a little different. And the stretching is a result of forced flowering. Plants grown outside don't stretch as much but they can start to flower at 14 to15 hours of daylight. That is the main reason we grow in veg at 18 hours of light and force flower at around 12 hours of light. Chuck.
@Drgreen13, I was at a Cannabis Conference in Victoria B.C. Canada in the spring and Remo was there and gave away some Mini Supercharged Kits when it was his turn at the workshop I was taking. He gave 1 to each person and had some kits left at the end of his talk and said if anybody wants another come up and get it. I was out of my seat fast!!!. I ended up with 3 kits and forgot my bus pass and had to walk 5 K home with 6.5 kilos of nutrient solution on my back. But it was free!!! There's another conference in a week at Niagara falls.

@Chucky324, HO HO HO๐๐. Thank you, I'm definitely not much, but I'm trying, only when a person knows a lot, only then does he realize how much he knows nothing. I think that a name would suit you better, you have maybe 5-6x more years of experience or more, I got the idea for a name a long time ago, but only now have I decided. Good luck with your growing man. ๐
@CrazyFlowers07, I got a good laugh friend. The translation said: did you cut off your head before training. And I said to myself I don't think that would work๐. I think you meant did I top them before training. Yes I did. When I HST or top I like to let the plant heal for 3 to 7 days before I do anything else. Let them heal from the stress and they usually will perform well for you. Chuck.
@Wind_Weed, Hello Friend, I think you mean why don't I repot to bigger pots. These are regular seeds and I'm sexing them right now, letting them show me which sex they are. I thought there was a lot of males at first because I was seeing a lot of little balls where the preflowers show. But happily some of them turnout to be females. I'm waiting for another plant that I thought was a male but it has thrown out some female looking flowers, but no white stigmas yet. I like to have the root balls all the same when starting a diary. It helps in comparing plants and yields at the end. So I'm waiting on 1 plant and then I'll repot and top and train the plants. Thanks for looking out for me. Chuck.
