Day 56
Hi AFN,
The anticipation of the harvest has me buzzing and full of excitement.

She was fed on Tuesday and Last night on just Bio-Bloom. I gave her the full 5ml per litre and She took 2ltres of water on both feeds.

The large fan leafs seem to be taking forever to die off. I have read enough posts to know I just leave them alone, but so tempting to pull all the yellow ones off.

I think I purchased the carbon filter just in time. The smell is quite potent. It is simply a beautiful smell, and I have found my partner on a few occasions recently, just standing with her nose in the tent. Though she is an ex-smoker she still loves the smell.

She has been great about this whole thing. Very supportive and it’s made the growing process a pleasure.

Not sure how much longer I have left, 1-2 3 weeks?
Maybe you can me an idea based on the pics?

Sincerely, as always, I hope this finds you all In a good place and enjoying the fruits of your labours

Just a quick shout to BigBuddha. Good to see you back fella !! Chat soon.

beauties. My guess is 3 weeks. Sweet leaves aren't yellow yet. Trichs are still clear. But, what do I know.

Cheers Stashmouth,

It's going to be a long three weeks if that's the case, I’m absolutely gagging for a smoke.

Probably 3 weeks minimum. Hardly any yellow in the big fan leaves yet. I wouldn't rush it. Those buds are going to get a lot fatter once they start feeding off the stored energy in the fan leaves. Another couple weeks and you could pinch a small bud to give it a taste.

Sup my brother,


You were worried about something early on in this grow I do believe? Hate to say I told you so.. actually on this occasion I'm happy to say I told you so.. anyway my mental quirks aside.. I told you you'd pull it round didn't I?

She's looking lovely fella. That's gonna be quite a respectable yield, too. Way better than my recent efforts so today I bow down before your growing might.

Well done mate. + rep well deserved.


Ps.. concur on 3 weeks minimum. They may not look like they're doing much but they'll be packing on bulk (some say the most) inside the buds.

Day 63
Hi all,
I hope this finds everyone in top form. My lady will be ready just in time for the euros.


Im not a big football fan, but I do enjoy the internationals especially with a good smoke. It’s amazing how many sports I can only watch after a smoke.
Baseball is a good stoner sport I think. It’s not the quickest game in the world to watch. Darts is always quality to watch after a smoke.

I have recently discovered the MAME programme. So i am reliving some great child hood games. Currently hooked on Defender (again)


No real news had a bit of drama on Tuesday morning. I checked her Monday night and seemed good. I picked her up and she felt ok, not too light. Tuesday Morning i checked her before I was leaving the house for work and she was as light as a feather and looked very droopy and sad.


I normally take a long time feeding her, getting the water and nutes just right. ( as right i can with what i have ) But i had thirty mins to catch the coach.
I had to feed her, couldn’t leave her like that for another twelve hours. I had ten mins to feed her, it was very annoying and the PH was way off.
I seriously felt robbed that day. I like that time I get to spend with her, Sounds daft I know, but I love the interaction with the plant, The checking and making sure everything is as good as I can make it.


So enough waffle. Here are some close ups from this morning.




PS. You will have to excuse this post. Friend of mine dropped off the makings this morning and I have the house to myself so i thought...” ll have a smoke a have a bit of a waffle on AFN. “

Looking good man. You make me laugh and remind me of my sis-in-law from Australia. She uses 'daft' and 'waffle' sometimes. haha. Anywho, hopefully that ph swing with that last feed won't screw you up too bad. I hope for the best.

 

[Muddy]

Looking great. Won't be too much longer and you'll have yourself a nice harvest.

Cheers Both, You have all been great through this whole process, that goes for everyone who has posted. I wouldn’t have got this far without AFN that’s for sure.

I haven’t read too many great reviews on the speed devil. I was chatting to the chap in the seed shop and he says there are second and third generation speed devils.
I have said on a previous post that I would like orange bud to be my next grow but now I am think speed devil 2.

Just thinking how good it would be to be able to view forum posts by seed/strain?

You know, you have to type in a box what seed/ strain (not sure on correct terminology) you are growing, and then people interested in a particular brand could search by that field. It could even be linked to the Seed website, so potential buyers could view grows before they buy. ( i bet this function is already there and I just haven’t seen it......)
