hello everyone it has been a while since i last updated cause i was giveing up so i trashed the two little sprouts and just kept the three older ones..
i have all three still and i am very pleased with the progress since i have left them alone. i will let the pics do all the talking....
ok now i will talk about the pics and the progress... i am very happy with what is going on i am very confused about something.
in the pis of the branches if u look real close at the nodes there are some leaves growing out of the node where i thought the flower came out.. at the node i see the little hair looking things that i have seen in other post on this site they are not showing alternateing nodes yet so i don't think it is beging to flower but it sure looks like it... the light cycle is on 24\0 but i have read that MJ can automatically flower in some cases.... can someone pls explain to me what is going on.. if they are pre-flowering do i need to switch the light cycle to 12\12 and see what happens.. they are not very bigbut they are about 2 months old so it mayb possible.. i don't care how much i get i just want to finish this grow.. pls help me and if posible show me some good pics of what a female plant looks like when beging to flower... and how to tell when they r....

hey bro your looking good. as for your area you thought were flowers after every fan leaf above it will be new growth that is where you would take a clone if you wanted. also the hairs your talking about i couldnt see yet but it might be there. at this stage they are called preflowers. which will tell you sex before you decide to flower. both alternating nodes or preflowers are a sign of sexual maturity. for instance my white widows out of 6 i grew they all grew to be about 4 feet tall and only one had alternating nodes though they all had preflowers by 4 weeks. you are looking good though also one thing is how big are your pots they are looking droopy but that could be anything. or could be rootbound . keep growing man

Whats going on stoner420. May i say your young ladies are looking great. Atleast i hope they are young ladies. Are the hair looking things you are seeing white or green because your plants will get these two pointy looking things coming out by the nodes. The only plant that i can think of that flowers on 24/7 light would be Lowryder. Here ya go my friend. A pic of female and male pre flowers.

technically you can go 12\12 from the start but you will lose potency and yield if forced early. best to wait for either alt nodes or preflowers either of which is a sign of sexual maturity

hey all i have desided to do some lst to get some light to the lower part of the plants... i hope i did it right i just tied the tops down at a 90 degree angle ( not all at once) they have started to grow back towards the light... i was just wondering if i did it right or do i tie the fan leaves down instead... Also i am wanting to top them also will this slow growth dramaticly .. also if this will slow growth too much can i go ahead and flower i am afraid i will not have enough room if i end up with three females ..... how much will it affect the potency i am not worried about yield just potency....... any help is appreciated greatly.... heres what i have done

potency should not be affected as long as you take care of it once it is in flower. nothing but lst. if you want to top it it will stunt growth but will also delay preflowers i think.about lst you tie down the geowth tips not fan leaves you did it right. ill show you a pic tomorrrow of my trained plant its about 10inches tall but is 18inches by 18 inches and still veggin for 5 more days until i chop chop my plants in the flower room

Whats going on stoner420. Glad to see your still around my friend. Yes you can stick the other light in there. I don't see why it would be a problem. The more lumens the better.stoner 420 said:

Sorry My Computer Sucks
ok some details the girls have about 20 to 25 budsites on them and i think with 10,000 lumens of light they will be pretty descent sized buds i figure if i can get each bud to weight atleast one gram thats almost an ounce per plant but n-e-way .. i need some help on the N-P-K rating for the girls in flower .. what would be a good bloom booster that i might b able to find at a local store or maybe even make myself like organics, composts stuff like that ......... hey thanks for letting me show u my ladies and talk to yall any advice as you know is greatly appreciated and we always take the advice even the critisism ..... so let us know what yall think ..........
