My sativa story, in pictures

Here's an update on my outdoor grow in the tropics, about 18 degrees north, always fully organic. I've been experimenting with light cycles at different times of year. In the past I germed in Aug-September and harvested around Christmas. Good buds, but I always felt that the veg time was too short and plants didn't reach their potential.

[it was too much trouble to insert the photos in here with text, so all the photos are below, in order.]

 I germed an Eldorado from Nirvana in February, harvested June 14. The plant responded brilliantly to topping and LST, yielding a QP in dried and cured bud.

I decided to leave the bottom third of growth to see if the popcorn buds would grow a bit more. I left a nearby fluorescent light on to encourage the veg.

The entire plant regenerated, going back into veg. It's the wet season, and the plant just loves the constant rain. 

First came the single-finger leaves. Here she is 4 weeks after harvest (H+4)

Then came three leaflets (H+6), I turned the light off, and let nature do its thing.

And now (H+8 ), five leaflets throughout the plant,  and back into flowering. More LST, and fingers crossed for a good second harvest. (I also took 5 clones, which are doing well so far). 

Nice thing about growing organic is that all the nutrients you need for the second grow are already in the soil.

Stay tuned for a harvest report in a few weeks.

Thanks! That was a few years ago. I had forgotten all about that plant. The second harvest was decent. The buds matured more quickly and were not as robust, but the trichome development was ok. I'm still growing in soil but have moved indoor for the most part. I just posted a question in the grow area about my upcoming crop. I'd like to hear your opinion.
