Thundernuts big bang

I started this a little late.I'm already 5 weeks into it,but never to late to start though.
Seed-Big bang feminized by ghs
Light-200w sunblaster cfl 6400k spectrum.(24/0 light schedule)
Pot-10 litre bottom feeder
Soil-cil organic potting soil
Nutes-plant prod 20-20-20 for veg,shultz 20-30-20 for flowering(may change this though)
Ph-6.8-7
Transit tickets(Yes it's funny,but they worked well to keep leaves off the soil)
First off,the first little bit is just an overview of the past 5 weeks.I'm just going by memory for now.Now that i started this,i will update it as things happen.
So i started on april 2,soaked the seed overnight and planted it the next day.Broke the soil in about 3-4 days.Around the second week some of the leaves began to develop little black spots on them.I think that i may have overwatered them(check pics below).Around the third week it kicked into veg state and really began to grow.I began to give it nutes in week 4 at 1/4 strength.At the start of week 5,pistils appeared overnight.She is now a she!!
I also noticed something about my grow pot.It turned itself into a soildro(trademarked by me!!) system.What i mean is,you put the water into the bottom of the pot,and the soil/roots suck it up as needed.Only now,the roots have grown down through the bottom of the pot and into the water below.I was going to transplant it,but now am too scared because there are alot of roots in the water and don't want to rip them apart.The do look nice and white,and so do the hairs on them.It holds roughly 1liter of water,and it drinks it in about 2-3 days.I let the roots air out until the water is almost gone,but tips are still in water.
Well,that's about it for the first 5 weeks.I will include some up to date pics of her,and will update as needed.Any help or suggestions are welcome.

Thundernuts nice to see you got the journal up and running bro. Yeah they looking good for a CFL grow, would be 5 times biger if you had a HPS tho :) lol.

Keep PH at around 5.5 if you can, that is just right PH for BB (or so greenhouseseeds said), worked great for me also.

All in all bro looking great, great plant to grow and smoke is HiGh lol Keep us updated bro

Peace

I watched the same video on their website.I think that their's is most likely hydro.They also got like a pound off of her.I wish i could go hps,but space is limited and would be to worried about heat issues.Once i get a bigger place than i will upgrade.Have you grown big bang before?

Not much to report today.Feed her today.Will most likely let her veg for another 3 weeks,then put into flowering.I am going to try and cut some clones maybe next week and put them outside and see what happens.

I'm thinking of taking a few clones,then when this one is done,i may try my hand at a small sog.The space is only 2x2 so could most likely fit 2 clones in there.
Azoo,it is big bang from ghs.

So today she is 6 weeks old.Grew a few more inches this week(1 foot tall now).Watering her every other day now.More pistils are appearing at the node regions.gonna buy some rooting gel monday,and most likely cut a few clones for outside.
Here are some current pics.

She is now 7 weeks old.Last week she started to really fill out.Pistils are now at almost every node.Some of the tips of leaves are browning and turning up.Magnesium def.Picked up some epsom salt today and gave her a good spray at 2% concentrate.Hopefully this will correct the problem.Will also add some to regular feeding solution.Cut 6 clones from her last week as well.4 will be going outside,and 2 will stay inside.
Here are some current pics.
Enjoy

Color is beginning to come back to the leaves.Looks like the epsom salt spray did the trick.Only it left a white residue on the leaves.Have to give it a few sprays of water to try and wash off.
Going to start cutting back the light tonight as well.Currently on a 24/0 cycle,but am going to give an hour less of light per day until it's time to put her into flowering.Don't want to shock her and turn into a hermie.
More pics to come.

Okay,so she is now 9 weeks old,and has been in flowering for 1 week now.She has grown about 5 inches in the past week and a half.21 inches tall now.Feeding her 20-30-20 mixed with epsom salts,with a ph of 6.7.Seems to be enjoying it so far.really filled out!She takes up entire area now.Don't think i could move her anymore even if i had to without damaging her.Next time i think i will trim and maybe top as well.Here are some up to date pics of her.

She is now 10 weeks old.2 weeks into flowering.This past week she really filled out!Noticed that she dropped about 2 dozen inner leaves this week.Mostly small leaves.Doesn't seem to bother her though.She is now 2 ft tall.All leaves are nice and green.Smell isn't bad yet,but probably not to far off though.Here are some up to date pics.

She is now almost 13 weeks old(two days away).5 weeks into flowering.She is now 27 inches tall.Lots of new bud growth in the past 2 weeks.Still isn't that stinky,and is still dropping leaves,although not as frequent.Overall,looking pretty good.She still has another 4 weeks until harvest.
Here are some current pics.
