@Sweet_Seeds, You're right, still a lot of glassy trichomes. Looking like 10 weeks and some. It will give more time for the gorilla to come out. Cheers!

@NASATrainer, I still see some transparent trichomes. Or is it the flash? Also, it depends on the effect you are looking for. Sweet smokes! -Apolo

@Sweet_Seeds, Must be exciting to see hobbyists growing your strain. Do you think my girl will benefit from another week of flower?

I like how you drilled holes to tie her down. Great idea. She's on her way and looking good. Good luck with your future harvest. I'm sure she will be great!

@BucketBrigade, Thanks for the encouragement. Holes were there already, but it took a few puffs before I was able to navigate the smokiest crevices in my brain for this idea.

I like your makeshift structure there.

can always add some CFL lights - may help - lowering your lamp should help as well - the closer the LEDs are - the more intense the light is - up to a point

Hi @NASATrainer! What makes plants stretch: 1/ dark cycles, you can increase your night duration up to 14 hours with 10 hours of light, 2/ nitrogen, you could add some more Nitrogen during the stretch phase, but be careful not to over-do, a plant stunted with Nitrogen during flowering will result in weird buds or 'the claw'. 3/ plant-to-lamp distance, increasing this value should result in vertical growth, as the plant will look for more light. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing! 👊

@NASATrainer wrote “Cannabis prohibition has been largely good in advancing these indoor growing techniques. Thank the gov for your manifold” And for your microwave, cell phone, gps, Netflix, self driving cars and on and on! If not for military and NASA R&D in the 1960s we’d have none of that. And I’m a liberal, but I know what’s what. It’s not rocket science! Oh wait - yes it is! Enjoy your harvest!

DaGroacommentedweek 185 years ago

She's Marvellous! I just embarked on a journey with this very same strain...I hope to enjoy this poetry of colors too! With this mainly Sativa strains you harvest a bit earlier, with few clear trichomes for a more Sativa's high (psychedelic, euphoric), the later you harvest the more of a body stone, couch-lock effect you get. Bet ya knew it already...but maybe someone passing by will like the hint. Lovely jobbly! She's AMMMMAzing!!!! I'm drooling worse than my LAb, LOL! Enjoy, you deserved it!

NASATrainercommented5 years ago

@DaGroa, Final 3 weeks she gave off a mild smell, nothing skunky as others have reported. I made a DIY filter with 2 sized mesh cups, sock, and some aquarium carbon. My 4" inline + DIY filter did contain the smell, but didn't push enough air so it raised RH to the 70s. I opened the tent a bit, left a crack in the window, and used a draft stopper on the door.

DaGroacommented5 years ago

@NASATrainer, Whao! I looked at your lady...she's gorgeous! Compliments for the results! I wanted to ask...is it smelly during flower? Ordinary Carbon filter would do or should I think about some extraordinary anti-smell option?! Good work, indeed!👋

NASATrainercommented5 years ago

@DaGroa, You're right, for this strain you're gonna want mostly clear and milky. The thin mints has great Kush genetics, so a more Sativa lean is welcomed. Just smoked some earlier and the hybrid sensation is highly desirable. Happy growing!

DILLIGAFcommentedweek 135 years ago

@NASATrainer it's completely normal for older bud sites to have matured pistils please see above answer for more details mate

DILLIGAFcommented5 years ago

@NASATrainer, also it's not a good idea to reguarly let the ph swing so much Causes undue stress to your babie's

DILLIGAFcommented5 years ago

@NASATrainer, Hi mate it might be getting a little warm too any way you can lower the temps will benefit your plants in the long run

NASATrainercommented5 years ago

@DILLIGAF, Is it normal for them to dry out completely and fall off? It was mostly the tips that died off.

Puffer_Billcommentedweek 35 years ago

Looking very nice 🤩👍🏻. The Mars 600 true wattage is 260w. I have 4 of them. They seem to work fine for me. Silent, not hot and covers a good area. My 1st grow I did burn a couple of buds as I vegged too long and things turned into the Amazon. However these buds were touching the light. I eventually super cropped the plants. 2 x GG4 and 2 x Durban Poison. My week 1 this diary the last photos are of my 1st grow. GG4 was an easy and resilient plant. Not resilient against spider mite though. I bought some Cannacure to spray my plants weekly. Grow well 🌱😎✌️🏼

NASATrainercommented5 years ago

@Puffer_Bill, Awesome just the right feedback, really appreciate you and the community.

@NASATrainer, My plants are 6" away and not one burnt. Grow 🌱 well

NASATrainercommented5 years ago

@Puffer_Bill, Would you still recommend what their website says for Bloom: 12"-16". I'm limited to a grow tent so she might reach as close as 12" to the lights. The LEDs are super intense, I def felt a burning sensation on my hand after being too close.

JKT48commentedweek 16 years ago

Hi, this is so exciting! The seedling is stretching just a bit, but it’s okay. Do you have clay balls or perlite? You can bury the stem above the rockwool. The buried portion will eventually grow roots too. Also, you can shorten the light distance. What light are you using for the seedling?

NASATrainercommented6 years ago

@JKT48,Thanks buddy. Your green crack has a ton of feedback and was a valuable read, too. Can't wait to see harvest.

JKT48commented6 years ago

@NASATrainer, alright. I’m following this. Seems it’s going to be interesting. Don’t forget to fill up the netcup later. It’ll stabilize the stem, as well as provide more rooting sites. I recommend hydroton (clay balls), but it’s up to you.

NASATrainercommented6 years ago

@JKT48, Thx for passing knowledge. Just padded with a few books to put plant closer to light. I'm using my floor lamp right now as things come in the mail 😂

Cpt_Gregorovichcommentedweek 135 years ago

weird with the pistils. i'll keep an eye out as my grow nears yours. few more weeks. has it cleared up by any chance? have you changed anything?

Cpt_Gregorovichcommented5 years ago

@NASATrainer, I'm glad you found that out before me! i might have done something silly once it gets time on my plant.

NASATrainercommented5 years ago

@Cpt_Gregorovich, Appears to be normal that some sites ripen earlier. Gave me some anxiety there. All the flowers are like that now.

Experimentgreencommentedweek 46 years ago

Tempura fried cannabis leaves!? Lol you opening a restaurant? 😊

Experimentgreencommented6 years ago

@NASATrainer, i love it. There's been some really exciting cannabis cooking coming out lately. I'm not brave enough to try it out...but all it takes are some seriously creative risk taking enthusiasts to come up with some incredible stuff. I wonder how it doesn't get you high though...i mean the leaves are being heated and decarboxylated right? Or are they cbd leaves? Very cool though, I think he's right about the boost of restaurants in the future.

@Experimentgreen, This guy is doing it in LA: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/news/2018/06/13/shibumi-cannabis-leaf-restaurant/ His leaves don't have THC, though. I've decided to take matters into my own hands.
