It's about day 28 of 12/12. she is really looking great to me. The healthiest plant I've ever grown as far as not having any yellowing or spotting on any leaves or edges at all. The sativa structure is pronounced, and for now it;s letting light deeper into the plant than any of my other grow.

About 6 feet from base to top, and still I can let them go up another 8 inches or so, then Ill just bob anything that tries to get any higher. The bucket is all the way towards the poly curtain, so most of the plant is on the side you cant really see here.

So only about 3 months to go. :)

Two months still to go just beginning to fill in.

So pictures of the bare dark side of the plant are mostly what I can get. A dark side shot and then I got on a ladder, thrust my arm over the top and took a couple of blind shots on the action side of the plant. It's hard to appreciate because I never took good pictures of the wire screens before things grew over, but they are working out very well. The bottom of the plant has very dense buddage up against the screens. Unlike normal grows, I expect to get good weight from the plant bottom. She is huge and sprawling and has good fomation all the way up the height.

Hola amigo,
I too thought what a waste of fun tickets looking at those led but I remember telling you that you smoke too much herb at kbs, then you finished that plant out. So I will wait until you are done before I put my foot in my mouth. I would have been inclined to install 6´ t 5´s around the plant.
NH I grow out does not like high ppm after week 6 or pH above 6. I bet you end up with some serious foxtailing with the heat. But foxtailing does not look bad in a spliff so that really does not matter. Hope you have good smoke by Aug. Suerte JK

 

[foaf]

hi JK.... yes 6' T5s would be very nice for sure. Ive thought about it, but I got caught up in the LED thing one stoned night, and voila, here we go. And yes, I do smoke too much. :)

what ppms do you run on your NH? I'm staying under 1000 ppms using flora nova and a bit of calmag and frequent nute changes.

so you think that heat makes it foxtail more? The space runs about 68 in the dark and about 85 in the light. I can chill it off more if that is helpful somehow.

I just thought you smoked too much when I first saw your design at ksb. I thought you stayed up too late burning to come up with that design. Heat over 84* and low humidity will foxtail it and a bloom booster over 150 ppm last 3 weeks. I run mine up to 1250 till week 7 then back down to 850 till the last ten days then I am down to 300.last 3 days 120 on sugars.

good luck foaf been following since u started

Harvest time was 120 days, which was about July 1

I tried to turn it around on its wheels for pictures of the bud side, but it was all tied up in 50 places and when I cut the ties down, it just collapsed into a huge bud heap. The limbs weren't even close to being strong enough to support the plant.

The weight was 3.2 lbs, a good bit more than I expected. It wasn't cleaned as thoroughly as I usually do, but all of the fan leaves and much of the small leaf was removed, so it might represent a bit less real weight.

Most of the weight was near the bottom, more well formed buds and more typical architecture. The bud is tasting great now that its curing. It had a grapefruit taste when first dried, but that has faded with some curing. Not as licorice tasting as the ssh or a durban, but in that direction. Maybe even piney at times too. I like it a lot.

The tops of the plant really filled up with a large volume of very small branchings covered in looser buds and very few leaves. It had a funny structure near the top that I didn't like. The last picture is one of the many tops near the HPS. Kind of a dreadlock of less formed buds and foxtailing. To clean these I just let them get too dry after getting the leaves off, and just crumbled it up with gloves on for hashoil, but it amounted to a good weight of now powdery bud material.

4...for real..l..they look so limp and thin...NO disrespect at all but if those pulled 4...my 10 should pull 8...lol...here's 5 i had out watering..

 

[foaf]

it's a 120 day Neville's Haze grown in a closet with 2600 watts.

you think its gonna look normal?

 

[Jalisco Kid]

Glad you have her done and in the cure. Hopefully you will have enough killer meds till your next consecha. Mine got stronger with the cure. maybe make a photron with about 20 t-5's. My 48" tall 60 gal. aero tank worked out well this summer. Suerte JK

 

[buddogmutt]

that LED is a trip...how did it smoke?...the buds look loose...but 4...it is what it is....good job...

 

[foaf]

the buds are definitely loose, but when you fill up a 3x4 space, 10 feet tall with a 7 foot plant, it adds up. I really hate that I can never get good pictures of the lighted side of the plant. My next grow, Im gonna grow a small plant just to have a photgenic plant, plus, I don't sell anything so it lasts me and the close friends a pretty good while.

It is only the second time Ive grown an extreme sativa, the other was ssh which had loose buds too, but not as loose. From pictures I've seen of pure sativas, they are often like that.

It really smokes nicely, the only problem is that it keeps me awake at night, I guess I need to grow another indica or hybrid before I run out of my supply for nighttime smoking.

thanks for checking on my goofy grow. :)

 

[MediMary]

Congratulations on the harvest.. I for one greatly enjoyed your thread..can't wait for the. Next show

 

[caregiverken]

Yep. Congrats Foaf

I like to smoke Haze...But After seeing this thread. I don't think I wanna try growing any Pure Sativa.

what are ya gonna Grow Next Foaf?
