So how much bigger do you think she’s going to get? We’re Day 57, of a 10-14 week guestimation. I’m assuming I have another 3-6 weeks, but that’s just a gut feeling and I’m so new I really have no clue, but given how ever long you think she has, and at the rate she’s been growing, how much taller I should say do you think she’ll get? We’re at about 17” right now with about 25x23 on the canopy. I’m really just curious how much taller it’s going to get to produce more bud sites in the larger groupings up top, and then how long my buds have to grow in size.
I’m only expecting to about 14g from my Blue Lights but I’m hoping at least 2oz from the Wedding Cake no?
3 feet pretty avg size for an indoor auto. Thats not to say she couldnt get bigger but you have her trained prefty wide so i wouldnt expect a ton more verticle. She is doin really well. Healthy.
Thats prolly pertty close, ive seen em go 17 weeks for some. The trichomes are really the only way to tell. The timelines by growers are kinda missleading in my opinion. Its based on a commercial setting…pro grower (maybe even a degree in botany) pro gear, pro enviromental controls. For those of us at home…results may vary.
The best countdown is 8-10+ weeks after flowering begins till harvest. USUALLY. (Cant stress that enough)
Try not to get hung up on any weight predictions. Alot of time to go, alot more care to be given. Focus on keeping her happy and she will make you happy in the end.

I’m trying not to but I’m hoping I have enough to last me until my Great White Shark is ready. So either quality so good I don’t need much to get me there, or a quantity large enough to do so lol

I hear that. Ive yet to make it. Doc be a smoken fool, and Raq is not far behind me. Together we smoke at least an 1/8 a day, and the rosin is so tasty we end up smoking just for the yummies! I will tell you that the more times you complete a grow the more cannabis you produce. Autoflowers are, I think, whats holding my total weight hostage. They are too unpredictable. My last harvest, althoug Im not done trimming will be shy of a half pound. The quality is debateable. Its sticky and smells amazing but the buds are light and a little airy on about 1/2 the harvest. I got one more auto grow Im gonna start, then Im gonna do a photo run. I plan on selecting a mother and following up with a clone run.

An ounce of larf takes a little less time to smoke than an ounce of bud! That’s what I smoke first to allow the buds a better cure time.
I’m really lucky this year in that the wife didn’t freak when I took a bunch of clones. Considering she wanted me to stay legal with 4 plants, at one time I had 23, down to 2 left coming down this month. Hoping for another 2 or 3 oz from those two!
I think I have 3 oz of Dutch Treat and 4 oz of 9Lb Hammer harvested Aug 15th, then 2 oz of Bruce Banner auto harvested Aug 27th. And I just jarred 4.65 oz of Dutch Treat and another 10 oz of the 9Lb Hammer! So they will be able to cure for a few months before I dip into those. Sitting on 1-1/2 POUNDS dried! That will last me most of a year!

I’ve wondered what your name meant a few times. Definitely never thought of it being a Doc and Raq lol
My son is scheduled for c-section November 2nd, and shortly after she will finally be joining me again! I never realized how much you could miss smoking with someone. Yeah while I’m glad I did autos to start off just to get the experience and get bud quickly but I’m glad I had my GWS photoperiod bc if I do that right I know for a fact I’ll be set until my harvest again.
Sounds like we have a similar smoking habit lol and that’s assuming I’m trying to stretch it. Blunts are my weakness.
Do you mean the sugar leaves and stuff? I’ve never heard of this term lol
Sweet baby Jesus! I would most definitely be set. One day I’ll be right there with you growmie!
Larf means buds that are mostly leaf and no real weight. Some call em popcorn. Lollypoping all but eliminates them.
Oh hell yeah! Congrats my friend. New life is a blessing to us all. A son to boot! All guys want a son, teach em all we know about being a man, carry on our line and our energetic expression. Exciting times. A scorpio, oh lord! Strong sign scorpio, expect him to follow his heart, he will be headstrong and opinionated. Teach him well so his opinions are rooted in truth and fact. As a young man he will likely be quite the “ladies man”. Scorpios are loyal but unforgiving, he will not get burned by the same person twice. Once you break a scorpios trust, thats it. You only get once. @JordabGrows

I think there might still be some just bc I lollipopped so early but I did a good defoliation and opened up a lot of sites I didn’t realize were blocked.
Big time. I love my daughter to death but I’m so glad I didn’t have to have like 3 daughters and no son 
I got lucky, and they’re only 2 years apart so they’ll be close in age which is really nice too. She’s already a handful, and I can’t lie im a little nervous if he’s going to be acting like me as a kid 
My friend, that is a guarantee!

Yeah, I got a few jars of lower fluffy “buds”, if you can call them that! Of the 9 plants, I only stripped the bottom half of 1 plant, so all those little bud sites that don’t mature, larf. I still smoke it, just twice as much at a time!
This will be the first time I’ve grown enough to keep me going until the next batch grows, gets harvested, AND has a couple of month cure! Close last time, but still had to buy 3 or 4 ounces from dispensary.
I’ve got some cuttings that I will plop in medium today. If they survive the next 3 weeks, great, my son can learn how to look after them while we are in Rome for 11 nights next month. If not, I’ll keep the tent empty until end of November when we get back, still have 5 seeds left. Either way, next harvest should be May. Maybe time to get another in after that before September when he gets married and nobody home for 3 or 4 weeks. And I can get 4 autos done outside next year too.
Hoping I’m done with dispensary weed for good now, except when we go visit my daughter and the future son-in-law rolls a couple.

Thanks @Docnraq . Don’t know when she’s getting married, but she’s having a son around Christmas time (Dec 28 is due date). My first grandkid!
My son is getting married next September in Sri Lanka, so we will be going there for 3 or 4 weeks. Hopefully that’s it for travelling for a while, maybe an Alaska cruise the following summer (2024). I’ve only been retired for 2 months now, really need to see how the expenses pan out before we spend the little savings we have! And we still have 24 years to go on the mortgage, lol! Glad my pension is indexed!

I’m hoping to be there at some point myself and I salute you for being there yourself. I wish I could grow outside. While I’m thankful I don’t have to have to deal with all the pests and potential issues, being able to grow monsters and getting lbs would be awesome. Have fun in Rome my guy! Would love to see pictures when you return!

Congrats on your grandchild! Apparently we replied at the exact same time because I never saw this when I replied.
So I’ve been trying to determine when I actually flipped to flower. I know I saw stigmas around day 35, and somewhere between day 40-45 is when the stretch started, and then I don’t think I noticed actual stigma heavy budsites until about day 50-55ish. I can definitely tell the budsites are starting to get some thickness to it as opposed to just being hairy sites so I’m assuming actual bud production is starting to happen, and I’m just trying to figure out how fast I should expect them to thicken up. I’m worried about my bud structure and that I’m going to have shitloads of popcorn nugs.
Here’s tonight’s photos. Should I take any of these sites off to try and focus nutes? Or is it too late for that? Or is it okay to have this many sites?
And my Blue Lights is starting to have resin production already and I’m kind of worried about how small the sites are in comparison to my Wedding Cake. Although I’m excited about the resin production I’m hoping it’ll be really frosty in the end.
As well as my Great White Shark is actually further than the both of them were at this timeframe which is ironic to me bc aren’t autos faster? Or just faster in flower?
