I definitely see some bud swelling starting to take place. I expect that this is the point in time where I will start to really see the fruits of my labors...and if buying into the entire line of Cyco nutrients was worth the investment. So far I can say I believe that I have heartier plants. I do think that temperature is going to play a part here as well. I had to start using a heater about 3 weeks ago. I've been able to keep the tent temps within reason but I just don't think its been sustained throughout the day as I would like because of the the way the heater works because of the safety features and temperature shutoff.
Comparing Week 12 for the Critical Kush from last grow and this one. There's almost an 8 inch height difference and looking at the pictures, it's obvious that last grows buds at this Week 12 are much larger that Week 12 of this grow...but I suppose it's not Week 12 that counts is it? For all I know I may get a smaller harvest but the bud will be even better than last harvest. Who knows?...but I can't wait to find out! 😁
Again Critical Kush was first to the party with her first orange hairs. (Such a fucking beautiful plant to watch grow!)
Added bamboo stakes into the Kush and the Pineapple in prep for branch support once those buds start to gain to weight. The Cheese's branches are really squat and strong and I don't expect to really need any support.
Nutrients changed a little this week. Silica got an increase of 4ml/gal. No more Potash, but added Swell & Supa Sticky.
Vertical growth seems to be done. The Kush didn't change and the Cheese & Pineapple looked like they just filled out gaining 1/2 inch and 1 inch respectively.
12/21 - Critical Kush - 32"
12/21 - Triple Cheese - 28"
12/21 - Pineapple Chunk - 25"
Nice job! Do you thinking about use scrog? At my second time growing I used scrog and It was very good I think, but I'm thinking about make like you. Why you don't have big leaves? I have a lot of these.. Take a look on my diary if u can, what do you think?I used cyco, and barney's farm seeds too haha, Thanks!
@Kreewl, thank you. 😀 Yes, I have been thinking of trying scrog but I wanted to compare my 1st grow and 2nd grow with only a little bit of change to see where I made improvements and how much it would help.
I took my big fan leaves off so the light can get thru and for better air flow.
@ThrashedTV_BakedByGlaze, Thanks Dude! Even from my limited experience with them, I would definitely recommend the 2 strains I have grown from @Barneys...and hopefully will be expanding the recommendation to 3 strains grown. 😁
@BIGBUDZ450, It wasn't a conscious choice. I would have been happy with just the 24 hrs of dark but this' just the way it worked out...my timer shuts off @ 9pm...24 hrs would have turned them back on @ 9pm, which is "off" time.
Looking good. How do you think your fimming went? I just did mine yesterday for the first time on a plant from seed. I think I may have topped a couple instead of fim.
Thanks @MountainBudz, much appreciated.
I think the FIMming went well. The vertical growth slowed giving the rest of the branches to catch up to the rest of the plant(s) and now they're getting some nice growth on the main branch again. I guess I'll really get to see how well it went when I switch them to Flower at the end of the week.
