New Grower This plant has been on a journey.

Unless you're anxious I'd let it go til the last cat's hung by it's tail ... til it's good and ready ... your last batch was picked too soon ... why not make up for it w/ this one ... it's pretty rare that a newbie let's a plant run too long ... your photos look a long way from being ready.

I agree. I am trying very hard to let it go. it is just so much fun chopping one down.

I agree with Chester,,,is it possible for you to post a bud closeup ??

Some better pics. It is at day 74. 3 days ago I gave it a good dose of PHed water and thought I would be chopping in a few days. I am thinking about giving it some more bloom nutes in the morning and then flush it again in 4 or 5 days and let it go until the leaves start yellowing. ( as muddy suggests, I don't know about you guys but a lot of what I do are things that I learned from him. I also want to thank chester who by the way is BOM nominated this month.)

I have a LED magnifying glass but it is a cheap one and I can't see the trichomes well enough, so I am going to wait until the leaves are yellow.





This was day 57 of my first grow. The little one on the left is the plant above it was probably at day 37and it went outside for 8 days in about 3 hours of sun and has been under LEDs since . I had to chop the 3 big ones early because of unexpected guests during the holidays.

It's not stunted ... it's just had it's internal clock messed up ... but that's a good thing because otherwise it would almost be done living at nine weeks ... I would either give it 24/0 or 20/4 or a varied diet of 24/0 and every three days 20/4 ... I'm aware of the biology of pot but at times a plant needs a rest ... especially here in Florida because of the heat ... Whatever bloom nutes you're using I would give her a shot of nearly full strength, she really wants to start stacking up the buds, just needs the right amount of P&K ...

if she doesn't start to pack on the buds it may be a sign that your LEDs are not that good for flowering ... mine are so I know LEDs can do the job ...

Pretty sure that stoned and drunken LST will eventually be an Olympic event ... I could win but I would probably forget to show up for the competition ...

In a stony brain fart moment, I'd probably have my gold medal bronzed for posterity.
:roflcry:

Hey, whats good my brother? Your plants are lookin pretty boss my friend.
Damn sexy girls if I dont say so myself. Leaving them to naroctic up is a great idea if thats your kind of thing. I love a good narcotic/ambered up strain. Though, I dont like to let to many of my fan leaves autumn up. Some people let it go till the sugar leaves start to autumn. I like to use all my fan.sugar leaves to make some oil..or edibles....The fan leaves dont have a lot of THC..but they do have a % of cannabonoids. They all benefit your body.
Just a thought lol.
Letting it go isnt a bad thing though. So, I hope your not thinking thats what I mean. Just saying that all the plant is beneficial to you..but the fan leaves are next to useless if you just lookin to get stoned ;-)

Thanks neko. I admit I am a little perplexed. My first grow was chopped way to early. It was pretty but the potency was not what I had hoped for. I think I maybe over compensating and hoping the longer I let it go the better the high will be. Today is day 76 from sprout.

 

[NekoSempai]

Letting it go will definitely make the high better imho..Since I love a narcotic head funk couch lock.
I Know you will love yourself for letting it get nice and ripe.

Your pics from day 74 look to be about 4 weeks from being done ... What are you feeding it ? Blue Mystic can be an amazing high if you let it get ripe before you pick it ...

4 weeks from day 74! ugh. I got my magnifying glass working and I am seeing some cloudy trichs. I gave it a 1/2 dose of fox farms trio week 11 three days ago. I plan to give it some PHed water, molasses and 3ml of cal/mag in the morning. I have not seen any new growth bud or plant wise in a few days.
