Week 8 of flowering is underway! Gave them a good last supper yesterday, just ph balanced water from here on out. Got some really interesting "fall" colours coming through in some of the plants, mostly the Green crack, but the plants seem happy and the buds continue to swell and become ever more frosty. Getting ready for harvest in a few weeks, very excited with how well this is turning out. Much like when I made my own beer, I worried constantly at the start that I would mess this up and it would be a huge waste of effort, but lo and behold it's much easier than expected and just requires a bit of skill, but mostly patience. Looking forward to finally smoking it in a month or so! Cheers everyone.
Update @F59- buds are getting very chunky, most of the colas are showing a fair amount of brown hairs too now. Got some interesting purple tips forming on the northern lights plant as well, but only on one leaf. Other than that there’s not a whole lot to report, going to water them in a few days.
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, thanks, had trouble in a past grow that went awry bc of friends who forgot, so im glad ive got someone i can trust this time. They only will need to water them once, so its mostly just to raise the light and continue to tuck as they stretch.
Looking fantastically beautiful buddy. I love your scrog net and I can't wait for the plants to start growing into it. Looks like you have some amazing plans for this tent. I'm excited to see how it progresses. Cheers!
This is a KILLER looking grow. I see some experience shining through here. Nice job! I am attempting my first "topless" SCROG (trying to bend instead) with 6 different strains right now. It would be cool if you would follow along and make a suggestion or two. - Zannabis7
@schmorgastheborg, Thanks for the information. I have certainly done my fair share of reading up on SCROGing as well. Since I am growing autoflowers, I am aiming to bend early and gently. I'll keep looking in on your grow - hope you will do the same. Thanks again for the response. - Zannabis7
@Zannabis7,
thanks,
There is a little experience, I have grown to harvest 4 cycles. I like to read a lot, so there is a lot of regurgitation of what I read. Truly my first SCROG-- I feel very new at training. I broke several of them.. but the will to live and produce is blowing me away. What I have learned is clones in my area are seriously lacking. Seeds are amazing... so far... I suspect from what I have heard is - "it is all about genetics."
@Aurora_Borealis,
I feel ya, but micro managing seems to pay off. I get over worried (I think) as a new grower. I suspect Mother Nature will provide. I grow outside one a year and kinda just let them go -- and they turn out amazing.. I sometimes think it is hard t screw it up...
@biggreens420, Thanks man, I appreciate the support! This grow couldn't have gone much better so far, very few issues but I was sorta worried that my buds are not big enough for the length of time they've been flowering, but I had to flip them early cause i knew space would be an issue. That being said, i think i'll have a good harvest to look forward to in a month or so (Valentine's day!). Sometimes I tend to get too caught up on the small flaws, gotta focus on the big picture, to see how much i've progressed, and how to use this as a lesson for the next grow.
