New Grower First grow starting this week - 1xNirvana Blue Mystic 1xNirvana Short Rider

Awesome grow SB ... if you're still pony tailing, stop, they're bushy enough. You can raise the lights some to induce stretch and or increase the # of hours of darkness ... they aren't stunted ... a day or two outdoors and they would double in height ... great job ...

They top out at about 24" ... I don't think I've ever had one grow over 18" .... still produce close to an oz of bud at that height ...

Thanks Chester. I have stopped ponytailing. Just tucking the bigger leaves now to keep light distributed. I can easily raise the lights. Do I need the height for yield? Or is bushy just as well? Also when should I change my lights to 2700k?

If I could get 2oz from these 3 plants I'd only need to grow once a year!

Bushy is fine up to a point ... that point being where the foliage is too thick for light to penetrate properly ... actually if it's that thick the plant generally shoots out 6-8 tops and the foliage closes in beneath them, which can produce some pretty nice buds although I think it reduces total yield slightly ...

Example ... Photo AK48 foliage closing in under Buds ... :tiphat:



This AK48 was a Nirvana Soil & Flower Tab grow ... :tiphat:

Exactly 4 weeks old. I think things are going well enough..knock on weed :dunno:
I believe they are in preflower...not sure of the difference between preflower and flower...I hope someone can tell from the pictures. I am keeping the leaves well tucked an I think you see that in one of the pictures. The plant looks a little droopy but it really isn't i have just tucked the big leaves down. I think that makes sense to do to develop what looks like will be bud sites. I'm really enjoying this grow, it is just so amazing. I've never grown anything and this is like watching one hell of a show! Yes a little stoned...its Friday night!!! Happy weekend everyone.
:Sharing One:

Help please!

I think it has been determined that I am early in preflower from a question I asked in another post. So I was looking at a calendar and I really may need to rush these up a bit. I will be at 10 weeks old - 70 days on July 19. I need to harvest that weekend if it is possible to push them that quickly. Reason being I just found out there will be a business trip scheduled that could leave me gone for a week or LONGER. That trip is scheduled for me to be leaving on July 23 and maybe not returning until Aug 2 or later....so this could ruin me if I don't push my girls to finishing early! Please help! I have bloom nutes ready and 2700K lights ready to go if I can get some experienced advice in this matter.
I really appreciate it.
I'm glad I have a job...but damn it sucks when it interferes.

Take them at week 10 (also a good average harvest time for most autos) They should be ready by then :Sharing One:

I trying to come up with a good way to hang them horizontally. The bulbs get pretty hot so don't want to loop anything though there. I welcome any creative ideas!

Thanks man that would be perfect. To get them there on time should I switch lights and nutes at week 5? The short rider is a week behind so it would be week 9 for her at harvest...maybe let that one go long?
