Man OOO man what a treat this beauty was to grow. We went through some ups and down due to my lack of thinking, but she withstood everything I threw at her and just kept growing. This was the first Photo I have ever grown, I've always just grown Autos. I will def be growing this strand again. Humboldt blew it out of the park with this strand. She's just been jared up and will be tucked away for curing for a while. of course I've kept some for a test Stash and she already taste amazing so I'm really really pumped to see what the cure does. I do miss the speed of my autos BUT they dont put weights like this gal did...Humboldt, hats off to y'all

I have never done anything but LST bc I've only grown autos. Wanting to top this one, just not sure when to do it. So, when should I top her?

To top again? Or not to top again? That is the question. I'm working in a 2x4x5 tent so my height is limited. Not sure if I should flip now, or top the two mains again and flip at the end of this week? First photo grow so this is just one of many. Thanks fellow growers!

If it was on me I just top once! Every time you top the main stem is divided so main colas get "smaller" looks like you still have some room. So why dont you instead of topping just tie down and try to keep the canopy even. You could wait a couple of weeks more before flipping. Keep it growing horizontal until you flip and then let the stretch grow vertical you should have enough space. I grow on a 2x3x4 tent and I veg till week eight and still have room by the end.. the most important thing is to keep your canopy even. You can take a look at my diary of white widow its growing right now!

I'm still prob 3 weeks away from harvest. But my weakest point is harvesting and curing. I've always just wet trimmed and put buds on a mesh rack inside the tent. What works best for y'all? Wanna try something difrent to see if I can step my closing game up.

Hi @Slammer88! My new approach is to remove only the big fan leaves, the let the buds & small leaves dry for a week, the tiny leaves around buds are full of trichomes, and they will re-cover your buds when drying. This helps in protecting the buds for a long curing (5 to 10 weeks depending on your environment) and gives you more green happiness in the end. Then, put everything in jars for the curing process, make sure your buds are not rotting, mold can corrupt and destroy your product very quickly, you just need to open the jars 5mins everyday and move the buds for a close inspection + air freshening. Finally, act as a cooker with its fresh products : try a bit of your product whenever you think it's ready, your smoker's skills will help in setting up the perfect curing process! Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing!

Well well well.... it is an amazing seed Bank for sure. That Strain sounds absolutely marvelous after reading. Humboldt nutrients are easy to use . And here you can find videos on how to use them perfectly with The Grow Boss, sponsorised by Humboldt : www.youtube.com/playlist

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, yea I took a lot of time picking out what I thought would be a good first photo strand, I know she's got good genetics, now I just hope I don't mess her up. Lol. Thanks for the info bud!

Looking good. Dont be scared to top a plant during veg. Some plants grow better when topped and pruned. Humbolt Seed org. Is one of the most reliable genetics you can get.(in my opinion)

Looking good. Took the plunge and topped. I liked it, and it looks like yours healed up nicely and your growth afterward is great. Nicely done! Cheers!

I usually top my autos around week 3-4. Also I’ve been doing a FIM pinch recently instead of cutting the top. I think it stresses the plant less and still promotes outward growth and more colas. Good luck! 👍

Welcome aboard! I’m similar to you in trying my first photo after doing some autos. I like your strain choice as I’m dropping one in water this weekend. I’m following along for the ride, should be fun!

Congratulations on the birth of your 2nd son from everyone at HSO :) That will keep you busy my friend :) and plants are looking in tip top shape :) Still got 21-28 more days to go from what I can see. Would you agree mate? Lovely dark green leaves still and trichomeproduction is going crazy ;) Kind regards Team-HSO..

@QualityBudMan, They are looking stunning my friend and your most definitely in the home stretch :) Personally I would feed for 7 more days. Reduce feed over the next 7 until your down to planed ph adjusted water then do a full 7 day plane water flush :) This will give the plant the incentive to use uo all stored nutrients flushing them from the flowers and leaving a nice clean end product :) Looking good in here and I'll drop back in in the next diary update :) Kind regards Team-HSO..

@QualityBudMan, Your doing a fantastic job mate :) They have definitely stretched some which should now be over. The structure is set and ready to pile on that weight :) This is a strain I love due to the flavours I get when using a vaporizer. To get that mint flavour, try setting your vape to a very low temp (150-195o (f). The vapor will be very thin but that mint taste crossed with chocolate is to die for:) Not just a pretty strain also full of flavour and packs a punch ;) Can't go wrong. ;) Kind regards Team-HSO..

@MG2009, ooo yea the smell is getting stronger by the day. It's a sweet smell with a tooooch of mint on it. It's kind of the last little wif of air that hits your face when you close the tent up is when u catch the mint smell. lol it's awesome. She's a beauty.

Very nice looking buds Well done. What light are you using? How far away is it? How are you liking the photoperiod VS autos so far?
QualityBudMan
QualityBudMan
@Fun_Growin, thanks a lot friend! I'm using a 600w Viparspectra LED. The plants are only about 7 inches from the light, which was not intentional. I've only grown autos and totally brain farted on the idea of my light needing to be able to go higher bc the plant was gonna be taller than anything I've grown. But LUCKILY it hasn't been to big of an issue, I have a good fan and good sir circulation so it's been ok about not getting TOO hot. As for Photos vs Autos...idk lol they both have amazing up sides and each a few down sides. I'm a very impatient person so I am still in love with the speed of autos. But the pounding this photo has withstood from my personal errors is just amazing. I will 100% grow this strand again though. It's amazing and I haven't even smoked it yet.

I would have expected to see pistols by now, and make sure it is not getting any light pollution any bit of interruption can preven t flowering. Good luck hope this helped.👍

@MG2009,they're starting to fire off now. I started putting a black sheet over my tent during the dark just to make sure there wasn't any light getting in. But idk, hopefully they'll take off now.
