New Grower Sweet Caroline 3rd grow 4th plant

[wileywilly53]

Well I had this going in another thread, but that thread got moved and I didn't think this plant belonged in the other forum, so with that said here is my Sweet Caroline, freebies from RCMC. Never heard of this or seen it before but all I can say is DANG. I hope she taste as sweet as she looks. I have it flowering under all 2700k cfl lights on 12/12 in my shower. "Bailers Booya" now don't laugh until you see it. as I was told by someone who knows, that she probably still has a few more weeks to go and if that is the case, wow what a beast she will be, I just hope she has a good personality, you know all the ugly ones do. anyway here are some pics from beginning to now.

day 51 out of town needed food when I got home, makes me wonder how big she would be if she was under the care of a real grower This is day 68 I had to move her, the only place I could think of was the shower in the front bath, My wife and I don't use it and we never have any company sooooo in the shower she went.
I use HAPPY FROG soil and I never put 2 and 2 together but check out my shower curtain. Maybe this is some kind of KARMA HUH ? and that brings up to tonight. this is day 77 I will try to get some close ups so someone can help me guess how much longer ?? I feb 0ne litre of water and 15ml of TB and 5ml of BB That should be last feeding I should go nothing but water from here out correct ? side by side with a 38 day old SD so what do you think ? any suggestions ?

Hey bud really nice grow, I would like to ask what made you want to use a 12/12 light for flowering on an auto? (shower grow lol)

 

[wileywilly53]

I am no expert but if I am reading and hearing right here is what I was thinking LOL I do not know if true or not. Even if it is a auto flower you can make it flower a little sooner by changing to 12/12.

You can also switch to bloom nutes early and that should push it into flowering....without losing 8 hours of light a day.

What's Behind the froggy curtain ?

Well I can not wait any longer, she has to come down before Monday, so that means this weekend. It will still be to soon, maybe even 2 weeks to soon. But I have to do it. My question is will the end product still be OK ? and do I just use the paper bag method as usual ? I figure it will need to spend a few extra days in the bags, before going into their final resting place of the jars. PLEASE let me know of any suggestions on the curing.
Whats behind the curtain ?

this sweet caroline day 85 some of the trichs are turning

Thanks for checking in on me.

Hey dude, that mama is looking really tall and nice definition to the branches. I've not grown CFL only, but the end results I see on AFN are always interesting.

I've had 2 bad experiences with early harvests man, the first produced a short lived head high of 5-10 minutes. The second was white rhino that simply did not get me high, no matter how much I smoked. Both tasted crappy too. In my opinion you need as many milky trichs as possible if you are gonna cut her early. I'm assuming theres zero amber.
Drying and curing is the same process as far as I know, though a longer cure might make it a bit better.

Shame she has to get chopped so early man, is there no way to keep her going another week or 2?

 

[wileywilly53]

Unfortunately Nomis She has to go.

Can you hide it out in the woods for a couple weeks? To mature up a little? Friend's house? Sure would be a shame to have cared for it so long and cut her prematurely....

Edit: Saw L.A. - nevermind on the outdoor....

yeah that's a shame bro.if theres one thing I could be considered an expert at is choppin nugs off early,do it every time cant help it,but that bein said I never took one off that early.i sugest a test nug quik dryed on ur cable box,then if u do get a buzz it might make ur decision to let her go longer somehow.10 days at least im tellin ya man.but ya gotta do what u gotta do good luck
