This week I decided to up the tiger bloom to see how she reacts. Buds are growing a lot, Internodes are almost filled in, and resin production is great. Had to make an adjustment on the light height due to some flowering stretch.
Finally got a chance to take my camera gear out and do a quick shoot. Last 3 pics are from day 26 of flowering in natural light. Hopefully they start fattening up.
If it is really a landsrace cultivar (F1) you might need some UV (UVB) lights, otherwise she might not be able to ripen correctly and trichomes will probably not turn milky and amber .
@GreenCultivar, I used to have the V600 (sp?) ... it was a good light ... the quality was good! I had to go to a CMH though to get the quality + yield personally.
@ElevatedThinking, I'll go with main-line style. She was supposed to only have 8 mains but had to veg a little longer. I felt bad chopping down the extra growth so kept most of the colas.
Veg as long as you want dude. The more love and l attention she gets the better your harvest will be. My grow is in 9 weeks of veg. I spend a lot of time topping and training to get my canopy the way I want it before flowering. I'm lovin this work you are doing. Might copy it in my next grow.
@ForestGreen, due to my limited grow space I need to resort to some kind of training such as mainlining. Adds a few weeks in veg but it works for me. I can also get away with just LST or super cropping but I like the symmetry of mainlining.
@AbroCadabro, thanks!!! the body I used on this one is a Canon Rebel Xsi paired with a Canon 70-200 2.4. If I start shooting more I might grab a dedicated macro lens.
@Teamdirtbag2, thanks! I'm pretty impressed myself. I'm very lucky that I haven't had any issues with deficiencies or even stunting her growth. Great strain for this training.
