16th Jan (Day 28 Flower) - 10 weeks old today so should be done now based on seed info. I'd say there's still possibly as long as 3-4 weeks left. Thoughts?
Droopy girl at the back has improved. Leaves on the main cola look bad but I've seen new growth on the bud so that's good. Had to loop the lace around to top of the plant for suppor, Its not tight or tied around.
Smelling really nice now.

18th Jan (Day 30 Flower) - Gave watering today, 2.5L each straight water. Buds are beginning to look frosty. Seeing plenty of trichomes.
Took some measurements to highest point.,
Back left - 78cm
Front left - 66cm
Front right - 64cm
Outside tent - 81cm
Canopy isn't even. Space was to much of an issue to really carry on tieing down branches and widen them. Can't stress how disappointed I am about following the wrong information about space. I'm thinking that even two may still be to much on my next run of photos if I'm really wanting to try some proper LST.

22nd Jan (Day 34 Flower) - Watered today 2.5L each with 1/3 strength nutes.
Plants look much better over all. Buds are beginning to fatten up. Smells nice and sweet. I was shooting for an oz per plant, can't see that now though. Think I'll be lucky to get 20g a plant. Not really seen many journals on this strain but another member on here with a little more experience than me ran 1 and got about 14g off it. I'd say there's at least 2 weeks left tho so who knows. Will have to wait and see.
Temps have been much better today, sitting around 23-25c, which is nicely inside the range for flowering. There's been a window open down stairs but the house still feels just as warm as the heating is on the normal setting so not sure why it's lower today. Nothing else has changed to drop it. Not complaining though, hopefully it can stay within range.

It's cool. Pic attached was Thursday. Will get proper update photos either Saturday or Sunday.
Looks a mess cause there so cramped in and i suppose 2 of them are, back left and front right both had nutrient problems. Front left and the 1 outside the tent both look ok leaf wise.

23rd Jan (Day 35 Flower) - 11 weeks old. Seem to have took the low dose feed okay after having problems a few weeks back.
Few pictures taken just now. Next weekend when I do the picture update I'll try using a better quality camera with a flash in normal light so you can see pistil colour on the bud a little better. Got the odd one here and there turning amber/brown.
The last picture is what I've done to try even the canopy. I've sat the 2g pots on some smaller pots to raise them further. Two front ones are fairly even but the back one which I didnt LST is a few inches taller, but because of the light position it's probably not a bad thing as I've got the light slightly towards the front so the one outside is getting a little bit still. Should of done this weeks ago really as it's something I'd read to do but it completely slipped my mind because of the few problems. Suppose after a few more grows I'll just do it without thinking if it's needed. Learning every day.

Lol, they were sat on a bit of cut up hose before, but I think I'll use the pots again in the future as it raises them out that bit more and as long as the pots are central it's steady enough.i like your pot on a pot runoff system there
It's a fucker emptying run off though, think I'll have to invest in a wet vac on my 3rd run if the 2nd goes well enough.

When I grow in pots I use pot toes,it keeps em up a bit for drainage/airflow.I cant use something like you have because im growing in a restricted space,but I like it.

27th Jan (Day 39 Flower) - Watered 2.5L each.
More pistils turning amber/brown. Going to buy a magnifying glass this weekend to check trichomes. Really hard to judge what its gunna yield. Think I should of pulled a few branches that only have popcorn to free up space for the larger branches and let the plants focus more on them but to late now.
Pics to follow on weekend unless there's anytging else to log before.

Jan 31st (Day 43 Flower) - Buds have started to thicken noticeably the past few days. Hoping they have 2 weeks left in them to really fatten up. Noticing buds further down getting denser too.
Nothing new really apart from using some shoe laces to lift up some branches, again this is something I should of done way back. I've tied loops round the branches instead of tieing off right up to them, Still learning though so will take this experience onto my next grow.
Got some better quality pictures. Leaves look horrible but I'm happy with how the buds look. Wish they were a little bigger but I think I may hit my more realistic target of 2oz total. Did originally want 4oz but such is life.

1st Feb (Day 44 Flower) - Watered 2.5L no nutes.
Real ball ache emptying saucers. Can't pull plants out cause of string supports, not that it's good pulling them out anyway. Should be easier on the next grow only running 2 plants but if I ever run more I'll buy a wet vac. Thought about building a drainage system using an industrial drip tray on an angle with a tap fitted and 4-5" platform for the plants to sit on but the cost of materials would be more than the cost of a wet vac. It'd be a cool project though.

5th Feb (Day 49 Flower) - Watered 2.5L each, no nutes.
10th Feb (Day 53 Flower) - Watered today 2.5L each, no nutes.
Trichs are looking mostly cloudy now on all of them. Hairs beginning to recede. Not far to go now.
Gunna cut a sample tomorrow and get some quality pictures.

Hi mate! I use the wet vacuum to catch my run-off. Tip: do not buy a cheap one. I've done it and i regret because it can only take like 200ml at a time before i have to empty the container!
Your girls look good! Remember, last weeks they pack the weight so no rush in take them down!
Good luck!
PS: sorry my english
