Free your fluorescent bud pics!!

[khaleel]

Drock, those things look fat.

mrfog, hello welcome to the thread (and to icmag)!! not sure what you are referring to... drock's colas are so damn big they sort of drown out the fan leaves (haha), but most cannabis plants still have their fan leaves even in bloom...

i will cut them off if things are too cramped in the bloom room and the leaves are shading bud sites, or if it is towards the end of the cycle and they are yellowing off, or if the leaves are damaged, etc.

i haven't really gotten a solid answer either way, whether it is good to cut off fan leaves or leave them for food. the answer differs at different stages of the growing cycle, and mutually opposing logic exists in both directions. for instance, if the leaves help create food for the buds you would want to leave them on towards the end of bloom, so they can send nutes to the flowers. but then again, if it is the end of the flower cycle and you are flushing nutes out anyway, why not just cut the buggers off and speed up the cleansing process?

don't know man, i've only been doing this for a little under a year. anyone else with insight?

and some more pics.

Grapefruit x Trainwreck, this has to be around day 60... stupid khaleel, not keeping track lol oh well, the trichs are about 30% amber, she is in the final flush and will come down next week.





and the Willijuana x Trainwreck, around day 60 too. though trichs are still about 60/40 cloudy/clear, this one's a sativa gonna take a bit longer to mature





and a closeup of the GF

Hey thanks for the reply Khaleel. Its a hot topic alright, maybe I am just remembering peoples pictures of plants just before the chop. Any way here is mine. She is a blueberry 4 weeks into flower under 250w warm spectrum cfl in a 20l bubbler with Ionic nutes.

 

[khaleel]

no worries, mrfog, glad to have you aboard your girls are looking great!

mrfrog, i think it is very situational. depends on strain, nute levels, environment, etc. for example i just finished the Godbud i posted on the last page and it had very little fan leaves, even earlier on. but the bagseed i am running is very leafy. when some breeders do their selection, i think a lot of times they pick phenos with a high calyx/leaf ratio to promote this look. but im with khaleel, haven't been doin this long enough to know exactly.

Gotta Love the CFL's!

I threw a little of everything I have grown in to this post. Enjoy!

Very NICE thread, Nice pics everyone!
Hope I didn't take up too much room, Let me know if I did. I haven't really ever posted pics just for fun.

Later, Drkn_Mnky420

 

[khaleel]

/\/\/\/\ too many pics? fuck no, that's what it is all about

great work DRKN_MNKY420!

 

[khaleel]

here's the WJxTW hung, for 3 days with breeze, now brown-bagging. just over 15 grams now, should be around 13 (?) after final cure/s.

great job Khaleel! looks like some very tasty sticky buds! how tall do you usually grow your plants?

 

[mallit]

wow after browsing through this thread it has made up my mind to go CFL. Am currently making a NGB box and think i wil go 3 x 150watt cfl in a 500cm square are, should get the part rocking

 

[khaleel]

great job Khaleel! looks like some very tasty sticky buds! how tall do you usually grow your plants?

hey bro, sorry about the delay. most of my plants are grown more than a foot, foot and a half before being switched. i've got a couple to two feet, but for the most part i flip them a lot quicker. bigger plants mean more space, and with floro's you don't get as much penetration beneath the canopy, so i keep em small. however, i am just starting some purple urkles and i plan on taking them to at least four or five weeks, i might LST so they won't be very tall, but we'll see.

actually you can see my plants in their veg stage yourself, just read back through the two threads in my signature line lol
later man, hope all is well

edit: *thanks for the compliments, the bud is smoking pretty fantastic!
