Way to Grow One

Oh thanks for the info @BudKingsGrow! I thought I must be taking crazy pills because if I only watered once, it definitely looked sad. Two or Three times not great, but not like it just crossed the Sahara. Four, Five or Six times a day it seemed fine but would droop right about the same time. I could only tell on the timelapse that it sort of would "relax". By the end of this week I gave up changing the feeding schedule and just assumed I couldn't fix it. That is good to know that it is part of the natural cycle. It appears to happen about 12-14 hours into the day, sound about right?

Your plants are looking lovely, Noddle, Something I was interested in learning recently, It might be worthwhile to share. Leaves max out photosynthetically. You can tell this stage by measuring the leaf temperature. It rises a few degrees. Alternatively, you can watch for the same moment by witnessing the leaves droop. My plants are on an 18 hr cycle. I can see this in my garden @ about the 16-hour mark.

those fan leaves in the middle pointing up to try to reach the sun are some of the number one perpetrators of shading and blocking air to nodes, causing them to lose the airflow light and space they need to bulk right. going well overall and glad to see it -- looking forward to your harvest in this setup!

Holy moly, do I love me some time lapse! 😵 nice work.

Excellent GD entry this week! Love your time-lapse vid! Dont worry about the "drooping" this is caused by your Ladies normal daily sleep/rest cycle.

She looks super healthy. Nice job

Just did my first harvest a month ago, congrats! let me answer a few of your questions. **For future not if create an official grow question other members can get credit towards the grower of the month contest by answering and then being selected by you as the correct answer.)** I decided to trim off my sugar leaves and freeze them to make fresh frozen dry ice shake. If interested, I posted a video on my diary of me trimming a branch, (lots of other examples on youtube). I think your hanging technique is great. What helped me was to leave the lines a bit loose so the branches could hang down far enough not to interfere with the ceiling of the tent. If you just move the string line to the center of the ceiling supports instead of near the edges would maybe get better air circulation. Anywho, great diary and nice first grow. Those buds look smokelicious!

With the color change my guess is a week or two. I had a plant turn purple, and it was finished when the purpling made it to the sugar leaves, at that point the fan leaves sticking outta the buds on mine were starting to crisp up. when I checked the trichomes at this point I had maybe 5-10% amber on the calyx's. Just my experience.

Looking really good! Those Vero cobs seem to be kicking butt. At 4000k they should be outstanding during bloom, lots of reds.

Great job, nice and healthy plants! They are starting to put on some serious weight ;)

Having trichome development on the leaves is normal from what I can tell, at least mine did. I think this is a good sign of things to come. I agree with you on the defoliation, I took the same route and my plants look like I did a defoliation but I've only let the plant naturally shed it's under canopy fan leaves.

Nice even canopy. Once all the flowers come I bet it's going to be stunning! Best wishes.

Nice update. 😊

Her canopy looks perfect for the switch to Flower! Each plant will grow differently (even exact same genetic), so base your decision on when to switch on how you like Her profile vs. where axillary nodes are coming out. Amazing Work 😀

Looking great! If you defoliate "Lollipop" style, you will see a dramatic decline in RH due to increased air flow.

That's a jungle! Looking great and yes you can do a partial harvest of the plant

Nice. Kinda makes me want to get one of those cameras. Any suggestions? What do you use?

Looks like you are off to a great start. Looking nice and healthy. Nice job. That time-lapse was fun to watch. Best wishes on the grow - Zannabis7

i must say it looks good but it doesnt seem logically reasonable to get 250g dry from one plant under 170w power..

Congratulations on the harvest ;)
