Lookin absolutely fantastic. Love the way this plant grows. You're gonna have one helluva yield for the space the way she grows and as happy as she is.

You should start a grow diary lol. https://www.thcfarmer.com/forums/grow-diaries.54/


It's that tight node spacing. They take a bit more interior work, but worth it.

Ya, my last gro was 3 plants, and they crowded each other bad. Total yield about a pound, after I threw away a 1/3 do to undeveloped buds.
That's when I said to myself, next go I'm doing 1 plant, and see if I can get the same yield. 500 grams of mature well developed buds, I'll take !

Imho the two ends of the spectrum are best. Super tight, or real long node spacing (long only if plants nodal shoots develop rapidly as well). When its tight you just end up with a canopy of dense colas. more work, but more toppy buds. When its a long node spacing with lots of side branching you can just trim branch ends as the lower growth catches up because the plants let more light though and if theyre sativas, you often end up with plants that essentially produce top bud all the way down the canopy. Those intermediate node spacings often require all the same defoliating as a tight node spaced plant that a lanky sativa doesnt need, but they usually wont produce all the way down the same as a lanked-out sativa will because ya gotta pull so many storage leaves, nor quite cola up as well as an indica that grows like this.

If im looking for an indica i look for plants that cola up just like this one. If im looking for a sativa, im looking for a lanked out plant that stays out of her own way and lets light go deep lol.

Ya I don't have much experience with sativa. Its risky in my tent. Everything gets bigger than it's supposed to be. And, indica is generally stronger. Next gro I'm doing one White Widow, and 1 Bruce Banner 2.0. Both sativa dominant. So, I bet I top probably 4 times each, just to keep them in my tent. But, I promise you one thing, they will be bushy !

There's plenty of crazy high test modern sativa doms around. They just have a well-deserved reputation for causing anxiety lol.

When THC contents go that high, I def wanna be smoking indica as well even if my preference is sativa when it comes to qualities of the high most of the time. I don't care at all for most the modern sativa lineages in the retail cannabis world today lol


A real sativa will go absolutely bonkers at the 12/12 switch like you haven't seen before lol. Low and wide. Tie down, super crop, create a canopy as los as possible.


But you got 4x4x6 right? You'll be fine. Just train em low and wide before the flip

I'll take a 25% white widow or peaceblaster over a modern 32% ghost train all day every day lol


That's mainly a recommendation to keep thread topics where they technically belong. People will def still pop in and interact with ya on your grow.

I use mine to keep track of when things happened and when I've done stuff in a single place.

I figured if im going to plant sativa, it's going to be famous. Like Bruce 2.0. or WW. Because otherwise I'd stay with indica. So, I'll probably need your advice next gro !

It's actually a 4x4x7+.
I still have mine at 12 1/2, 11 1/2 dark. I was waiting till the end of my third week to do so. Do you agree, or would you put it a 12 - 12 now ? Right now I'm at 18 days.

I actually used to think I just didn't like sativa.


Then I smoked some old-school sativa's. Then I crossed my favorite sativa F1 lineage into the Columbian land race.

For the longest time I considered myself na I dica guy. But really, turns out I'm a sativa guy that also like afghans and good kushes and stuff too. Also gelato. I love the gelatos lol.

My all time favs so far are old-school skunky sativa's.

I've always just done the straight 12-12 flip. If I was getting impatient sometimes I've spent the last week at 11-13 or 10-14 with my lights dropped a couple inches

I didn't want to shock the shit out of it so I did it gradually from 18. I got to the 14 threshold in 2 days, because I wanted it to start flowering, before I played gradual !
