Hey...since you are on a pc getting pics flipped is easy...all you need to do is right click and select edit which will take you to paint. Then at the top of the screen you will see a selection tool. Press that button and then select your pic and then at the top of the screen select crop, and then save. When you upload the pic will be upright.

Okay your plant.....its a bit small for age, but if you concentrate on flower production, you will still get some solid bud from her!

Have you read the way of the fox feeding thread before? If not quote me and i will find it for you.

You are the man . Haha.

Yes, I actually have been doing my grow based off of that thread since the beginning.

Also, all of my images are oriented properly. On my phone, on my PC, they are flipped correctly only until I upload them to the site. It is not a big deal, just sucks for the readers here, and it only happens sometimes.

Okay, so here is an update, because I went ahead and assessed the plant today and pulled the trigger on the nute switch.

Today is Day 35, top of week 6. The higher bud formation sites are already starting to visibly turn amber on the tips. Also, the plant looked extra perky today, I am imagining that could be from the moving it a few inches closer to the light, 19 to be exact. Medium was quite light, so I was excited that it was time to water. I was going to be more patient, and do a clean water first, but it seemed like it was time. I am actually hoping, now, that I am not doing this too late. Anyway, I went ahead and did a nute water, switching the nutes over to the Tiger Bloom phase.

I did a 1/2 teaspoon of Grow Big, thinking this should be the last time for Grow Big when mixing new gallons of nute water. I did close to 1 teaspoon of Tiger Bloom, and about 2 teaspoons Big Bloom. So, hopefully this yields well and not show signs of any mistakes. Will let you know what happens next.

So Day 49, week 7...

Plant is looking good, did a nute water 2 days ago and seems to be extremely perky from that, like she is finally trying to grow vertical again. A few tips are a little burned, so I will definitely do a clean water next time, followed by a lower dosage nute water. The top area of the canopy is starting to get a lot of frosted leaves, and all of the bud areas are starting to get much bigger and fluffier, and all of the white hairs have red tips, some of the hairs period are starting to show a reddish hue.

So from my research, I almost feel like my plant is growing ahead of schedule now. Should I be preparing to flush in the next week or so with these color changes, or let her keep doing her thing to weeks 9-10ish? I still have yet to even up my nute dosage, still going with the 1/4 dose Tiger Bloom, and even that has seemed to be pushing it.

Hard to tell without pics, I wait until pistils are red/orange and lower leaves start yellowing, usually. Water up take slows drastically too.

Hey all, know its been a while, but here is an update. Things have been going well, almost too well? LOL. Today is Day 54, everything looks healthy and perky. The bud sites are getting fat and continuing to grow, and many of the hairs seem to be amber, but seems too early to start flushing. I need to find a way to check the trichomes, but as of right now, can say most hairs are reddish, or at least getting amber tips. Been having to water roughly every 3-4 days, been going back forth with nutes and clean every other time. Guessing I will start looking to begin a flush in the coming week or so, I know it has to be close. Anyone have any thoughts on what its looking like? I know the light does make it tough to tell, my apologies, the dim ceiling light and my phone flash light dont really work well. May throw the CFLs back in next time and just keep them in for viewing purposes. Here are some images from a few minutes ago. Also, some leaves are curved and flipped funny, thats just from tucking and hiding to get light lower. I do think I started my LST a tad late, and ended up removing the tie downs a few days ago, because it did seem like the initial LST of bending the whole plant over, was starting to yield difficulty with the canopy trying to go up, and some of the back areas of the plant. Definitely seems to like the 'freedom' it has now, and many of the small cola sites are trying to come out and say hello better than before. Sorry again about the flipped photos. As you can tell, it is a weird occurrence, because all of these photos are flipped, EXCEPT the 2nd for some reason, but they are all normal everywhere else. Anyway, that will be the last I will comment on that lol.

I would say a lot longer than a week, more like 3 or 4. After seedlings this is the next long wait part, wear patience pays.
