New Grower Round 2
- Thread starter wileywilly53
- Start date
well, Squid helped me a WHOLE LOT on my first grow and the first 2 seeds I planted never wanted to flower so some where around day 60ish we changed lighting to 12/12 and also added the 2700k. So this time I saw the little things come out meaning female and waited a couple weeks I thought it slowed down on the vertical growth so yes I changed light to 12/12 which it is on now and also went with the Tiger Bloom hoping to make it start doing it's thing. BUT as I mentioned she sure has grown about 6 inches since I changed lights and time and feed. DID I SCREW IT UP and start to early. ? If so is there anything to do to change it now ? or just hang on and see what happens.
Well after posting It looks like I made a common error
Weeks 4 - 6. The plants are now entering a pre flowering stage. During this time the plants should exhibit explosive growth, often as much as a new set of nodes and 1" vertical growth a day. This is the time when they will gain most of their vertical height. Many people make the mistake of switching from vegetative to flowering nutrients at this point, assuming that since they see flowers it must be the proper time. This is incorrect. If the switch to flowering nutes is made at this time the vertical growth will stop and the plant will put it's energy into producing buds. If you need to keep your plants small, or want them to finish earlier, they by all means switch nutes at this point. But if you want to get the most out of your plants continue feeding vegetative nutes until you see the vertical growth slow and stop. Depending on the strain that will usually be sometime during week 5 or 6.
Well reading back thru this grow it was day 47 (6x7=42) when I changed to 12/12 and lights to 2700k so I know I was thinking that she was going to be stubborn like her 2 sisters before her and not flower correct so yes I guess I am making them bud.

DAY 62 What U Think ?
Well I had to go out of town this past week so my wife just gave her pH6.8 bottled water while I was gone. Someone please let me know what you think is going on. This thing is just getting bigger. I changed time and lights maybe a little to soon, but I thought that was supposed to make it stop growing up ? I guess it is trying to bud or is that still flowers ? and still not a lot of smell ? other than that it looks ok to me. what do ya think

Still Alive Updates this weekend.
Warning never do this
Well I am surprised this plant still looks as good as it does. I went fishing and then to the casino and neglected the ole girl. I knew it needed a drink but thought I could squeeze one more day before I fed her. WRONG WRONG WRONG NEVER DO THIS !!!I learned my lesson, if it needs feeding feed it, don't wait or slack off.
I am sure it has stopped vertical growth and the lil bud sites look 2 to 3 times bigger than my first plants. (Thanks AFN) Also starting to smell real good, and in one of the pics I might see just a lil dust starting. Let me know what ya think. maybe a few more weeks ? This Northern Lights FEM from Nirvanna seem like close to 90 plus days from seed to weed so I dropped another yesterday. Still have one left. The reason I bought them was it said it was a hardy strain, and good for beginners, and I put both my grows through hell and I still managed to get some product from the first 2 and this one looks like it will produce as much as both of them. So again Thanks AFN for helping thus far.

Ya at least a couple more weeks, probably longer. Sorry. She's still very green and will produce much, much more of her lovely gifts for you. Just keep on keeping on and hey, hold still..... 
Great job homie!
