So not much more to report today. The girls are just chilling. I don't want to say the stretch is done but they have just been chilling and not growing very vertical. What am I doing wrong? The bud sites are starting to get fatter and I am still giving them veg nutes in the hopes that the stretch isn't over yet but I might switch soon to the flower nutes, or at least a half and half veg/flower mix. What are your thoughts everyone? From grow diaries of the widows it would appear they usually are harvested at about the 10 week mark, sometimes 11 weeks so I'm about at half way mark for the widows. If that helps with a timeline aspect. The biggest widow is getting frostier by the day and the smell in the tent is getting quite pungent. Well til tomorrow!

Just smoked some of these kush mints from one of my favorite dispensaries in Colorado and oh my I got severely fucked up. Pardon my French. Almost 34% thc, I should have expected it haha. One bowl and I tapped out about 3/4 through it. Organic buds have really come a long way.... just look at that frost it's insane

Edit. I totally tried to prune that nug to look like a heart hahaha and it's from peak in Denver btw. Great selection of hard hitting flowers

That looks good, my favorite thing to get at the dispensary here is called SHATTER---------never herd of the mints.

@Illini4life How tall are your plants? We seem to have sprouted about the same time and I was just curious

Not a huge concentrate user because for the longest time the quality that I could get in my state was very very suspect, or really pricey. With legalization right around the corner I am hoping to get into that more but we will see because they are going to charge and arm and a leg for this stuff when it's legal.

Hey man my bushier widows are about 10 inch tall, and the zkittlez is a little bigger than that, maybe 13 in, but that is clearly a sativa dominant strain by the looks of her. I'm a little worried about how stout they are at this age. Got a little learning curve to over come as this is my first grow, like I didn't fill the bags enough with my soil mix, so when I started watering in the soil drastically went down like 2-3 inch. We will see how this goes but I learned a lot for next grow haha

They look good! Good spacing around the bud sites. Now they will start filling out. My last grow the plants were around 14 inches tall. Which is what I need for 5 ft of height. They can produce a lot even when short.

When you are ocd, and can't stand a crap joint, you become a master at rolling. Can't wait to twist up some of mine! Happy Monday everyone View attachment 1070077 View attachment 1070076

I still go old school on mine.

What point do you typically introduce the flower nutes. I am a little torn. I was thinking maybe a week more of veg nutes and then start a 50/50 mix or should I hold off a bit more to see if they are still growing up but just slower? I'm in uncharted territory now and I don't want to hurt yields because of being impatient.

Also I wanted to add in that I am waiting on a free sample of mega crop to come in and next grow is going to be a mega crop grow, start to finish. It seems simpler to mix one solution and maybe some cal-mag than having 3 different nutes to worry about. If anyone has any experience or recommendations for using mega crop, I would greatly appreciate any insight you have.
