5 Weeks Into Flowering

[JoeBUDN]

This is my second grow and i was wondering around what time do plants actually start packing on weight... and whats the average length between nodes i should be trying to achieve... and does the length between nodes really matter? Im wondering cause i wanted to take a guess as to how much i might yield an how much more weight can actually pack on in these weeks..

Is that your only plant? Generally it's in the numbers game.

 

[JoeBUDN]

No i actually have 5 more all flowering together... that one was the biggest so far

Here they are

Most strains start putting on weight around week five you want to keep node distance close as possible

Thanks... i believe the nodes are about 3"- 4" apart will that affect my yield

 

[Wildill]

I will not as long as you can get light to them

 

[Gardenguy2.0]

Yeah just make sure they're getting plenty of light, they should start stackin soon.

What type of light are you using

 

[JoeBUDN]

5 2700k cfls and one fluorescent daylight tube i thought maybe because the sun produced all spectrums it wouldnt hurt but i also have another tube ill place along the side to try an catch as much light as possible

Can't say what you're gonna yield, but she looks to have a decent amount of time left on her. Internode spacing varies depending on environment, and genetics. A general rule of thumb is more light intensity and cooler temperatures typically give you tighter nodes to an extent but that's when genetics come into play. Some strains yield great with tight node spacing, and others yield great with longer node spacing. There isn't really a set measurement that could tell you whats "best". Of course a 1ft node distance would be terrible though hahahaha but that's an exaggeration. Just gotta train them or use your environment to your advantage whatever the style may be.

You will soon be entering the stage where the true weight starts to come in. That plant is looking like it will turn out to be some quality smoke. Good job and keep it up! What strain is it?

 

[JoeBUDN]

Citrus sap from what i was told when i was given the seed muchly appreciated

 

[justiceman]

Mmmmmmmmmmm! I believe that is GG4 x Tangie. Definitely going to be :fire:

I cant wait... so far has a nice sweet smell not very strong just yet but its getting there

Not sure if this post, or even if your not doing it. But sugars later in bud stage can help bulk that much wanted weight on..

 

[rmoltis]

I notice the plants really start packin on the weight last 2-3 weeks of flower.

I would consider learning some training techniques to help improve your yield over time. Seems you have a lot of extra space.

You may also want to bump up the light output. On average Less light=lower yield & more light=higher yield. Doesn't always follow that trend but can. Mainly it depends on how your light is focused.

Sugars late in flower = harsh smoke ime, now I stop giving teas when they have a few weeks left to give the plants time to get rid of the sugars.

What do you mean?

 

[907debow1234]

What I meant was, not sure if this post was the correct area for Q&A on your feeding an what not. I didn't want to get off track initially from your questions.
Looks like your plants are doing good. I prefer tight node growth, much of which is variable on strain an light intensity. Most stretch when they can't find enough light, and stretching means less nodes close together. I do stop with sugars the last week an flush them well. And that's with all feeding. It's pure water that last week. Again so much depends on others. If your plants eat water they can generally eat more food. Push it through em. I like mine to be root bound by the end.
Hope this helps sorry if my post was a bit hard to read at first. .

Oh ok yea i thought maybe the strain had sumn to do with the growth spurt cause i swear just a few weeks ago they were only 12" an i had couple Chemdog seeds that i had gotten a hold of those didnt grow quite as tall but smells lovely and i believe has way more trichs... they are the smaller ones in the pictures an the nodes are a lot closer

 

[JoeBUDN]

They're about a week or so younger
