You could have brought the ladybud in from outdoors and not even known it. I love ladybugs!


Yeah true. One of the pitfalls of doing heating and airconditioning for a living...always out in the weeds and flower beds of customers houses.

LOL--I know what you mean--I am a plumber.
 
Just an update.....Week 6 of flowering begins tomorrow. Should I trim the buds off the bottom of the main stalk..or leave them to not stress it?

I vote that it is too late to take lower branches now at 6 Weeks. Pretty plants you have there.
 
Update pics. Week 6 of flowering now. Just fed with FF TG/BB.

The other plant i am trying to get it to show sex so its now on a 12/12 cycle and recovering nicely from the PH being too high.

damn budz4me, reading the first few posts it seems really like a shot in the dark but your bag seeds are looking EFFING AMAZING :D ! Something mentioned before about rosemary oil/spray you can also add tobacco-soak-spray (I mix it into the rosemary/spinosad mix) if your pests get up there, though doesn't look like you have that problem really. Very nice to see your progressss!!! my advice on trimming lower branches - if they aren't drinking enough light to grow to decent density, clip em. Doesn't stress my babies out whatsoever! (But doing mostly OD here)...
 
Hey thanks decaf! The rosemary stuff was mainly a foliar spray...I have been sold on SNS 209...it gets in the roots and treats the problem before it becomes one. But it did do great for reactions to bugs.

None of the buds are lacking for light...I was talking about the buds growing on the stem itself...near the base of the plant.
 
Looks like you lucked up that plant is looking nice! I hope my bagseed buds look as good as yours.How much are you expecting to yield?
 
i see your using SNS 209... amazing stuff, bug prevention made idiot proof... just add to water/nutes and good to go... but remember to stop use at least 10-14 days prior to harvest or your amazing lookin bag seed there will taste like rosemary and thats not a good taste in dank smoke... trust me, my buddy didnt stop since he likes to feed till the chop and well it tasted kinda... uhmm not good XP lookin great though nice fat full bushy leaves lookin good, keep at it

I was hoping someone could clue me into that...2 oz maybe? I have no clue, never tried this before.

Thanks everyone for your responses and info...cant wait till this is over and to start my next project!

On a sad note...the other plant just got sliced and diced....turned out male....figures with all the stress from the ph being all wack...oh well, live and learn!
 
Thought I would give some more pics up....I saw a bunch of new threads asking about this stuff..so hope it helps.

Everything is on a dedicated circuit with a properly sized 20a breaker and 12/2 wire. The circuit can handle up to 1000W of lighting(8.3amps @120v) and several fans.

Also, bumping this...as I would love to hear what yall think.
 
YAY! Just got my order from nirvana in today!

Before you all go blast about it....only reason I got auto's was because I dont have the extra room/money/everything else that comes with having separate grow areas. Outside is NOT an option where I live.

Auto Northern Lights and Auto Bubbilicious!

5 each, Cannot wait to get started with them. By the time they are done I will have saved enough loot and configured the place for phenos, as that is what my ultimate goal is.

My current setup is a 2x4x5 tent that is being used for flowering...yes a little small I know.

I also have a 2x2x4 box I am gonna use for drying. This box has 2 150w HPS lights and about 15k lumens worth of CFL's.

I wonder if I start the autos in there, seeing as I have about 3-4 weeks left until my bag seed flower is done, then switch the grow so the autos go right into the tent under the 400W HPS timed at 20/4, and the bag seed gets chopped and dried.................

or should I just wait till after chop?

I will be getting a 4x4x6 tent for flowering in the future, then none of this will matter, but that must wait some time.
 
after talking it over,at long lengths, with my buddy who also grows and iv decided to wait till my Sour Diesal is about 2 weeks out from chop before i pop my auto seeds in the pots and start my purple garden, so id say 3-4 weeks is a lil iffy, male autos typical sex at 2 weeks and females at 3, so give yourself a little buffer time so your not fumbling trying to chop in time, wait till 2 weeks then it will be safe to pop them seeds in.

as for your bumped question, its hard to tell really usualy buds put on a majority of their weight in the last 3 weeks or so, but id say it looks around 2oz, possibly more, that girl there has some nice lookin budding on the lower branches and thats quite a nice top, again hard to say seeing as your about 4 weeks out, she will start bulking up soon, but 2oz is a good prediction, i had a plant half that size on my first grow that i thought was gonna be like half a oz it looked pathetic compaired to my friends but for what i had it wasnt too bad really, she yielded just over 1 and 1/3oz so it can be difficult to guess, keep that nice lookin girl happy and youll get a great harvest.
 
:goodposting:

Thank you for advice! I will wait atleast another 2 weeks before germinating the autos...I am in no rush really, I was just trying to set up a perpetual harvest...the dream we all have!
 
I love update pics!!!! :watchplant:


Im thinking another 3-4 weeks.

Your bagseed plant looks great. Watch out for it hermying as you get closer to harvest.

I believe that you will probably be disappointed in the autos after growing a nice photoperiod first. You could absolutely veg plants in the 2 x 2 x 4 and move to the 2 x 4 to flower. I even did a nice little scrog in a 2 x 2 x 4 space when I was remodeling my flowering room a few years back. You didn't really need to order autos....

I agree 100%, however I need that 2x2x4 area to dry what I have...space is very limited,and I only have so much odor control. Once this auto run is done, I should be set for photo's from here on out.
