Well sublime I'm not honestly sure yet. I do plan on topping at least once and I was thinking of vegging along the line of six weeks. My last few grows I vegged for five weeks and have run into rootbound issues (the Dutch Dragon is an example of that) so I'm sort of playing it by ear here...

This is also the first grow that I'm trying the 8 inch net pots vs my old red w/f buckets so there's a lot of new stuff I'm trying here that I'm not real sure about.

I'll be watchin in anticipation thats for sure. The power plant, is it from dutch passion?

The breeder did not specify so I'm honestly not sure. I don't use my seeds for breeding....only to grow and toke so I'm not very careful about the background of them as long as the plant/smoke does what it is supposed to do.

I grew....or should say TRIED to grow a PP in my last grow and the thing grew so fast and strong it became rootbound only 4-ish weeks in and then developed some root mold or fungus so I had to "euthanize" her.

I HAVE had rootbound issues in the past.....part of why I created these larger buckets......but that's the only plant I've actually LOST in hydro since I started growing. So I'm VERY anxious to try this power plant in a big enough setup.

Interestingly I've already had my first faux pas with this grow. I accidently watered them with some water that was 7.2 or something in ph.....not even sure how I accomplished that but I did. The power plant's leaves turned down for a day or so then bounced back. The Brainstom never even noticed and so far is blowing the power plant out of the water (no pun intended

) in growth! Go figure!!

I am jealous, I have heard so many good things about pp. I had vegged one out with a blueberry on my last grow but the blueberry turned out to be a cabinet hog and didnt leave any room for any other plants so I gave the pp the hack

Mine also grew extremely well, it was a short stout little bush. I am looking to get into hydro so this is going to be a great log for me to learn from and get alot of tips im sure.

Just a few quick photos of her. She's doing very well and has definitely picked up since going into the larger bucket. This has pretty much been my "oh well" plant.....took some clones from her, more pruning then I like to do on a flowering plant etc etc....and she's still chugging along very nicely in spite of all of it.

hopefully the weather will work for me. so lemmie get one thing straight! if a take a vegged plant from24/0 light(its been vegging for oh lets say 2 or so months) an put it outside. will that make it flower or will it keep vegging? and also does an outdoor plant have to be under the sun always(i mean does it have to be sticking out in the open or under some shrubs so nosey pricks dont nab it)!

Weedhound · #36 (**permalink**) Mar-17-2008, 23:24

Anything over 14-ish hours of light will cause the plant to stay in veg stage.....less (approximately) will flower the plant. Its way too cold at night for them too be outdoors anyway this time of year. More like around May.

colorado grows during may?

Weedhound · #38 (**permalink**) Mar-18-2008, 00:08

ha ha I'm in california...I wouldnt put a plant out until May.....Is colorado warmer than the foothills around Tahoe?

It depends on your lighting.....if your plant is outside and there is more than 15 hours of light in a day (some people say 16, some say 14) it will keep vegging. If there are LESS light hours the plant will flower. It doesnt matter how many weeks its been in veg or inside or outside or whatever.....the only thing that matters to the plant is how much light it is getting daily. If you keep changing it around.....18/6 then less, then more,, it may very well hermie due to stress.

So I've counted and double counted.....Today is Day 50 Flower and I took off a few over-crowded underveloped buds and we checked the trichs on them. To our great surprise they are abut 5% amber already on all the buds. I'm pretty surprised since I read this plant is a nine to ten week finisher.

Sooooo we put her on plain water.....the stuff on top seems pretty done (I like about 20% amber by finish) and we are starting to flush but kind of a lazy one since i'm still sort of shocked at the quick time.

We're going to try something a little different with this plant....since it's my "oh well" plant anyway. (PS...Check my C crowd log to see her CLONE!!

.....my first EVER!

) We're going to harvest 1/2 the plant and give the half underneath another few days-ish to develop a little more with better light. I wish I had done this with my Cotton Candy mix which seemed to be along the same line.....very done on top but underlit on the bottom...so I want to try it this time.

im jealous, i need to get a place so i can grow my own icky sticky weed, and only hope for something half as dank as this looks, but in good time, good things come to those who wait.
