Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering.
Getting near the end and I've started flushing. I like to flush for 2 weeks. I find I get a better end product if I flush.
Things are looking good in here. I had the light up to 80% so the leaves in the main lighting area are turning a little yellow. I'll turn the light down to 70% for a couple of days to slow the yellowing and then back to 80% to finish off this week.
OK, we have finished the Grow Yer Own Stone book printed in 1970 for Canada. My only hope was that you got something out of it that might help your grow or further your knowledge.๐ And it was fun to read too.
OK, Have fun out there. Chuck
@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.
