Thanks, I paid mighty close attention to it after the early trauma it experienced. Really hope it pays off. I'll probably get anywhere from 3-4 growing at once for future grows.

Thanks, I think it was just the strain. Other than that, I used MG organic choice which fed it enough through veg, I watered every 5 days, transplanted it into that enormous pot straight from the solo party cup, had sex with it, and was very particular about my lighting. I kept the lights around the sides of the plant during vegging, instead of above it and rotated every day. I actually took your advice, Foolet, and raised all the lights once flowering started. When it started flowering I started watering with a combination of Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom every other watering.

Just finished week 3 of flowering. Going to update with pics today. Added a little Grow Big when I watered today to give some added nitrogen. Only going to give her Grow Big one more time next week.

Damn man! I wish I could have sex with it too! :P This is really impressive though! I can't wait to see the buds start filling in!
 
Watered with nutes this morning. Included Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom. Seems like she's ready to be watered every other day at this point. I almost shat myself when I got home. Noticeable growth. She's 15in. tall now.

FLOWERING DAY 21 (End Week 3):

I expect the buds to start filling in nicely all next week. Trichs are sprouting up as well.

Definitely add Big Bloom to your nute regimen. Honestly, if you look at what Big Bloom does--essentially cleans the roots--it's very beneficial to use it for both vegging and flowering. If I had it at the time, I would have solely used Big Bloom during my veg process because my MG Organic Choice soil fed it plenty--Grow Big would have been overkill. I'm only using Grow Big during flowering week 4 to give it a nitrogen boost.

What do you mean it cleans your roots? It provides minute amounts of NPK and it has some worm castings for bacteria I'm guessing. I kinda figured you can do without it.

Well, yes, it has a small amount of NPK, but the main purpose of Big Bloom is to use in conjunction with other nutes to relieve plant stress, unlock unwanted salt bonds and allow for increased nutritional flow.
 
Ok, so today marks the end of week 4 of flowering. Going to post pics later. I think i'm going to tie down the side branches a little bit to get more light down all the stems. Probably should have done this awhile ago for more yield.

**Hypothetically speaking,** say I were in the path of Hurricane Irene... it would really suck if the power went out for multiple days during this homestretch. Should be ready to start getting flushed next week.

Fuck! Holy shit I forgot Irene is suppose to knock out my power! Holy shit my poor plants....

Yeah man. I dunno if you have the option of buying a small generator. But we're pretty fucked. I'm going to start looking into some outdoor options. Going to take a lot of sneaky effort on my part, but it can be done.

Yea I should have listened to you guys. I'll do it tonight, at least she'll get better light for a solid two weeks.
 
As you can see, I've tied down the branches. From what I hear, hurricane Irene is almost a guaranteed power outtage. So, *hypethetically speaking**** if I were in her path, I can expect to lose power for a few days. I would keep her in total darkness until the sun is back and and then try to find a nice outdoor spot until power is back on.

She's getting water w/ nutes tomorrow. No more Grow Big, although the leaves are still yellowing. I'm really not that worried about it. She's in her home stretch. Probably do a flush at the end of next week and then once more the following week.
