lol! my thread is weak. sorry bout that. anyways, if anyone knew, ive been out of a job now for a little bit, and right now im living on unemployment and my moms helping me out, so ive been out job hunting and working odd jobs under the table with a buddy of mine and havent had time to post on the internet and shit, and also, i still havent gotten a new camera, so still using my phone. also, ive been so broke i havent had really any extra $$$ for really anything other than bills, food, basics and shit, so i cant afford bud right now. so, that will explain the four shitty, blurry photos of my plants.
i had four plants that were female, they quickly outgrew my little closet, so i culled two around four weeks into flower. the two i chose were the ones i liked the best, one being a shorter, stockier plant that now has a typical donkey dick cola and would have several nice sized side branches if i didnt already take them down because i wanted some fuckin weed (dont judge, you'd do it too during hard times). i also cleared out all of the tiny popcorn buds on the lower halves of both plants. and the other plant is a taller, lankier sativa leaning pheno (but it wasnt the most sativa leaning out of all four), with a cola the length of a 1 liter soda bottle. i also removed a couple lower branches of this plant aswell (but not as many as the other plant).
the plants are on their 8th week today, and as you can see (or not), the leaves are yellowing and the lower fans are/have dying/died off. that's exactly what i want, as this is basically "flushing" a medium with ferts added to it. you want the plants to use up any excess nutrients in the medium, and then to consume it's stored deposits. less minerals and flame retardant materials in your bud, the better.
this strain can go for up to 12 weeks, depending on what phenotype you decided to grow out. oddly enough, the sativa leaning plant is looking farther along than the indica leaning one, with more amber trichs (still not enough, tho), most pistils have turned brown with a lack of newer ones, whereas the other one has a good amount of fresh pistils left, and even less aber trichs. so, im going to say about a week to a week and a half for the sativa, and a week and a half to two for the other. this strain packs on a little more weight too, right at the end, so you want to make sure you dont chop too early. anyways, that's it. besides ewc, i have all the ingredients to do another round before spring/summer, so im going to run off the nirvana pure power plant beans that i got for a freebie last order. this time, theyll make it through the entire grow unscathed.
first two pics are of the indica pheno
second two are the sativa pheno.
