micro gone wild

[igrowone]

well, wild for me anyways
some home chucked genetics which had a hermie father
not the best of starts in cannabis life
but seems to have worked, barely fitting in chamber, and no intersex signs
5+ weeks of 12/12, started flowering at 2 1/2 weeks
i topped it at the start of 12/12, good thing i did

 

[igrowone]

6 weeks of 12/12
in context, this is a 78w cfl grow
happy at the moment, strong smelling pheno here
some nirvana PPP in this pollen chuck
looking like PPP's high resin trait may have bred true

 

[MicroRoy]

Looks good.

Are you growing in a bucket?

 

[igrowone]

nope, just plain cow compost, lowes cheapo stuff
2 gallon pot, and 39 inches of grow chamber height

 

[igrowone]

7 weeks, big ass pistils, and plenty of crystals
still not sure how solid a bud these will be
has a fluffy look at the moment
fan color is fading, but at 7 weeks i'm ok with that
early on very indica, but not as much during flower

 

[waveguide]

we want to know what your micro looks like from the outside.

white + round, cool

 

[igrowone]

a fair request waveguide
white on the inside, ghetto on the outside
duct tape joins the sections, it's running now so you can see the light
the top is a steel pizza pan with cfl lights
it's basically a garbage can grow, just built the can to the size i wanted

 

[waveguide]

enquiry of course derived from adolescent daydreams about growchamber disguises..

 

[igrowone]

week 8, and not bad at week 8 imho
pine cones are forming, indica look
but with hybrids anything can jump out
slow flower and extreme stretch, that was more sativa
thinking 10 weeks for finish

 

[igrowone]

week 9, pic isn't doing her justice
solidly filling in, and she smells big time
not sure that 10 weeks is going to be enough
if i get more sativa feel though, it will be worth the extra time

 

[MicroRoy]

Looking good.

 

[igrowone]

week 10, was thinking maybe it would be cut time
not really close, lot of white pistil, not looking ripe
i'll be thinking there's more sativa in there, good motivator

 

[Purpzz]

Sweet colas, close up pic before harvest maybe?

 

[ReikoX]

Looking good man, I think your patience will be rewarded.

 

[igrowone]

^^^ thanks and i will do a side close up
the best pollen chuck i've had so far, yields should be 1 oz+
so small by the big grows i see here, but just enough for me

 

[igrowone]

week 11, it's interesting
fan leaves pretty much drained, but buds still packing it on
lot of white in/on them, damn, they just keep growing
can't cut looking like this, though 'white' is in the lineage
which can mean ripeness can have a lot of white? not sure
check the trics tomorrow

 

[MicroRoy]

How do you admire your patience.

 

[igrowone]

sometimes patience is forced upon you
quick look through the trics, clear, clear, and clear
don't think i even saw a cloudy, much less amber
hmm, another week looks unavoidable, 12 weeks?
i think it may be longer

 

[igrowone]

12 weeks, actually about 12 1/2 weeks
i admit it, this plant has me stumped
it's looking pretty damn ripe, trics haven't budged though
i smell what i think is the hermie father's side
and the father side of things was never edgy
i think it's done, time for a side bud test
which i don't usually do, doesn't always tell you exactly what you got
so chop imminent, it did pack on some serious weight for my micro chamber
a side view as promised

 

[MicroRoy]

Good luck with your test.
