Hey Bermy and goose. Thanks for stopping by! I have some updates taken an hour ago for day 35. Got 5 weeks of flower in finally. Got some better pictures today of a few plants taken out of the room for everyone. Here we go.
Here are some Dream Goddess at 35 days of Flower. These were freebies from Gypsy from my seed order. Mods Dream Goddess which is GodBudXDreamweaver. Love the color of them. So unique from the other plants.
And last but not least the Skunk#1 at day 35 Flower

Quite a few hairs on the skunk plants are starting to change color. I am thinking these can get the chop a week earlier than the rest of the crop. We will wait and see what they look like next week and decide if these get the flush sooner than the rest.
Thought for sure I would have some questions for yous but this grow believe it or not has been going by pretty smooth. Being my first grow I thought I would be on my second infestation of mites, a few deficiencys, too hot, mold but I havent seen a bug or anything yet. I went into the Infirmary once because of yellowing leaves due to magnesium defficiency early on in flowering and fixed that with some CalMag. Thats about the only problems I had this grow except a little Ph problems at 1-2 weeks of veg before I picked up a Ph tester. I picked these genetics because of the fast grow cycle which I thought was best just in case I had problems I could harvest and still have a good amount of decent bud. These seeds are also some big yielders but I picked them mostly for the fast flowering time. 5 weeks down and who knows how long to go. Im guessing 8 weeks maybe 9 total when everything is done. Just a very few hairs are turning brown. Trics are still all clear using the Radio Shack microscope.
Hard to believe these came from this picture.
2 weeks veg
Well any questions just let me know or any pointers keep em coming. Otherwise I will see you in a week for week 6 day 42 photos. Thanks for stopping by.
Very Nice. Meathead, sure makes me want to try another soil grow.
I also recieved some MOD-Dream Goddess seeds from Nirvana, and hope to germ these seeds also, been in the fridge way to long.
Remember- it took you 6weeks(veg) and another 7-9weeks flower !!! so it would just be silly to cut them early if you know they will do alot better with a few extra days! ... oh .. and carefull how close those hoods get, my tops start showing light bleaching after <1' .
Yeah I'll let them get fully mature before picking. Just have to smoke on some mexican shwag for the next few weeks until these are done. I was actually going to start raising the lights up tomorrow. I have the 1000 watt hoods about 7 inches from the top of the plants and the bulb is about 3 inches in the hood so the lightblub maybe about 10 inches from the plant. I can touch my hoods with my hand and its not even hot. Thanks for the tips and checking out my grow! Definately going to be raising the lights a bit. I think I will get better coverage of the plants too by doing this. I try to rotate the ones on the outside to the inside every time I water so they all get some good shine on them.
shee-it, meathead ! you say you are out of ganja ? you have got a BIG crop going there, from the looks of it . pick a bud off, i say ... it's YOUR ganja, buddy !
Hey everyone thanks for all the compliments. Wont be long now until we have some buds hanging to dry! Here we are at 42 days of flower. Just a few more reddish hairs than last week but the majority of the hairs are still white on all the strains. The ones with the most red hairs are Skunk#1 and the Dream Goddess. I think those 2 strains will be cut around day 56 so I am starting to just water those 2 for the next 2 weeks before chop. The Ak-47 and Chronic are still getting big and the hairs are barely turning brown on those 2 strains at all. I am thinking those might be an extra week around day 63 to get the chop. But who knows. I never did this before so I will just keep taking the microscope to them every few days. By the way the Chronic took the lead over the Skunk#1 in yield it looks like this week. It almost doubled in size the past 2 weeks which it is known to do in late flower. Heres a few pics.
Thanks Ghost and Qbert. It sure has payed off so far. I didn't think I would even get this far. I started off big just to make sure I would get a decent amount of bud to smoke until the next harvest, even if I did have alot of problems. Who knew these things would blow up into these. I am only using 2 gallon grow bags; which are actually only filled up 1/2 way to 3/4 way at most after the settling of the dirt each watering, and these things are starting to lean and want to tip over. I actually just took a small little bud from the bottom of an Ak-47 to dry and cure enough to smoke on 4-20. Everything should start getting the cut in the next 2 weeks or so. This crop should hold me over for a few months. lol I'm pretty impressed with it. Until next time!
Yup...I'm guessing you'll pull at least 2lbs or more judging by the size, wattage, and plant numbers. No doubt that will keep you kickin on smoke for a while. My last harvest of 1.25lbs lasted me (sharing a TON) until just a couple weeks ago. Something like 6 months, but it is all for spiritual purposes...not a party toy, and we use as much of the plant as we possibly can.
Good luck with harvest day...bring us pics! Congrats on your first successful run!
Wow! Wow! I can't believe how nice this turned out for you. You sure this is really your first grow? I'm on my first indoor grow, so totally different from outdoors, and especially since I wasn't doing all I could outside either.
I just started flowering last week, hopefully I'll get a few small buds to keep me going until the next harvest. Your grow is just totally off the leash, great job, you have lots to be proud of. Grand feeling to kick back and smoke your own great herb, especially with some close friends. I'll certainly be keeping an eye on your stuff as you post.
Hey guys sorry about the delays. Work made me go out of town for the past week so I didnt get much time around the grow. I harvested at 8 weeks (56 days) They all look pretty good maybe could have gone a little longer but had to chop since I am going out of town for the next couple weeks. Heres some pics of them at 8 weeks and some of them hanging and now jarred today.
