[Guest]

wow. you have mutants, and you have retarded mutants. i'm sorry but your plant falls under the retarded mutant catagory. thats crazy. almost looks like a bonsi tree. your other plants look great.

 

[wotamess]

love the mutant.. i had one last year that split into 3 main stems!! ended up a hermiw that seeded a load of my other bud, but oh well!!

take it easy.

It'll be fine. the leaves and all will straighten up soon. No worries.

4 weeks, well it looks like my Sour Bubble grow may be turning into my Nirvana Ice grow. There are preflowers showing and almost all the plants look male, 5 I am pretty sure are male and 1 not sure yet. It will be hard to tell for a few more days. I will be happy if I get one female.

I am prepared for this, there are 8 Ice clones in waiting which will still make a nice little SOG

At least they look good

3 Ice clones vegging with them, these rooted a few weeks ago and I've been topping them to keep them short

5 more Ice, just rooted a few days ago. Mom is on the left.

Them Sour Bubbles look nice and consistant ... too bad about them all being male so far.

We have stigmas! 2 are girls!

I was finally able to determine the preflowers. They have been on 12/12 for 3 days now.

Went ahead and transplanted them into 2 gallons and the Ice clones into 1 gallons. I took 2 clones from each SB.

The Ice should catch up to the SB for a nice canopy.

Many congrats on the girls, shall watch the thread thoroughly

 

[Guest]

thats a wicked looking mutant man. Looks like they bouncing right back and congrats on the girls...goodluck with the rest of the grow.

Just a quick update, today is 1 week flowering.

 

[groer]

2 weeks flowering. I had to boost the Ice plants up quite a bit to even the canopy. As you can see the Sour Bubble received a major trimming, the fan leaves were blocking all the light from the budsites so off they came.

So far they have received 2 feedings, each one has been:

1/4 tsp Open Sesame
1 tsp Tiger Bloom
1 tbsp Big Bloom
2 tsp Liquid Karma

 

[fallenangel]

wow dude .. you trimmed the hell out of those plants.....

 

[BeAn]

Bookmarked...

Bookmarked...

Nice one man... its all looking good.


I got me some sourbubble too, looking forward to the future man......

Are you sure you should have cut so many fan leaves off that early? I hear that one of the main ways the buds get their increase in size is from the fan leaves process of photosynthesis, cutting all those sites where you used to absorb light to add to the buds have been restricted to much less than than regular.

Is this a tried and tested method? Just wondering if your doing a little too much trimming here at an early flowering stage. I have heard of tucking big fan leaves under or to the side or away from nug sites but im not too sure that cutting them away totally is your best bet here?

just an observation, let me know if this info sounds ok

 

[groer]

Trust me exposing all the budsites to the light is a good thing, there was much more leaf material than necessary. (See how the Ice doesn't have that much leaf material but it's still growing some nice buds.)

 

[Guest]

A little bit of me dies when i see a trim job like that.....

 

[msdtds]

nothing wrong with exposing bud sites to light.

looking good groer. i've grown SB before, and it is unquestionably my favorite indica ever. you're in for a treat!

 

[WeedTime]

nice grow, plants looking very healthy. what your flowering light is ? its HPS or MH ?? I see white spectrum on the photos right ? good luck

peace

 

[groer]

WeedTime its a 250 hps, I use white balance on the camera.

3 weeks. Sour Bubble have filled in nicely since the trim, many happy budsites.

The short Sour Bubble is not as vigorous as the taller one and looks like it won't yield quite as much. I found a few bananas on her, and just one or two on the taller one, pulled them off and I will be checking for anymore.

So the one on the right is going to be a mom, actually already is. The two clones I took from her at the beginning of flower are rooted and doing well.

 

[groer]

32 days flowering, and now what everyone really wants to see...

Sour Bubble 1, this one is the shorter less vigorous one.

Sour Bubble 2, more vigorous, more stretchy, looks like it will yield a bit more.
