RP is basically an offshoot of DNA so it's basically the same genetics....... and I do basically grow from seeds unless I find something exceptional that I keep around for a while. I don't have the space to keep mothers alive since I already have 2 rooms going. If I find something I want to further investigate, I'll reveg her along with seed starts and grow her out again 1 time.

The reason I asked is that RP one can be had in fems and as singles from a few sites whereas the DNA ones are in a pack for over $100

Oh trust me they will. Once they start suckin up that snow storm ultra more and more haha
That shit made the already amazing GG i had into solid, almost too dense to break down, buds covered in trichs.
I wish i could find this one picture of one of the top nugs all dried and cured.
It looks white with a hint of green under what looked like frost. hahaha
FIND THAT PICTURE, BUD!!!!!!!!!
I'm still at 2ml per gallon on the Snow Storm- I guess it's time to move it to 5ml. But I've been using the Botanicare Hydroplex (0-10-6) as a bloom enhancer too and don't want to over-do it. Tomorrow is 5 weeks flowering......I'll take some macro shots in the morning.

Nice! i usually start out with 2.5 ml during the last week or 2 of veg. Usually after ive transplanted and taken clones. Then i let them go without it for the first week or so so they can stretch without me accidentaly shocking them. Then after that id pour it on. Start at 5ml once a week then 10ml once a week then 10ml twice a week.
Im searchin! but i think its on my friends computer.
Ill post it ASAP

Wow.....that's seems like a lot potassium at the end. But, I think I'm getting plenty of potassium between the Hydroplex AND the Snow Storm. I think I'll bump up everything up until week 7 now and then start cutting back preparing for the flush the last 2 weeks. I'm also increasing my enzymes now, which will make even more nutrients available so I think I'm in good shape.
Interesting PM was sent to me:
"I would not let mine go longer than seven weeks. I once let it go eight because it was with another strain and I just waited. I wish I had not. All my trichomes were amber and it was way too couch lock. But if that is how you like it then you should wait the eight weeks. It puts some weight on that's for sure. Six weeks is perfect for me. But it's mostly cloudy and some amber. But then I leave three or four plants to go for the full eight weeks to have some pain reliever at night. But it's all good from six on. So it depends on how you like it. Just be sure to flush well and raise the lights so the last few weeks, it really seems to make a big dif. in the smell and taste. Have fun."
Here's some macro shots this afternoon:

6 wks seems pretty early, but some strains you can do that.
I could (but I wont) pull my C99 at 6, 7 is better though in my preference
He makes it sound like there's something WRONG with a lethargic high. LOL I'll cut a bud at 8 weeks and quick dry it in my dehydrator for a solid test at that point. But I still have 9 weeks penciled in for the finish date. Such problems.........people around me are already salivating. Everyone is commenting on the appearance of the plants- quite different looking then they are used to.

I cleaned out my pm box
I never even realized it was full.
Day 39 in flowering, 4 days since the last pictures. At least 3 weeks to go, maybe 3.5 weeks (63-65 days). I am slowly dehydrating a small piece that looked a bit further along for a sample tonight. Resin is packing it on and climbing outward on the leaves. Still loads of white hairs though......and I'm still guessing my overall weight of the room will come 25% lighter then my Green Poison grows. I've been able to get my nigh time temps down to low to mid 60's too.

They look great!
The leaves are praying to the light as a sing of their happiness.

I actually just went thru the room and removed the 2 largest sun leaves on each plant that were blocking the most light. These plants have a lot of sun leaves- I mean TONS of sun leaves and they won't miss two. Did I mention that I bought 26 Next Generation "Dynamite" seeds, the Grapefruit X Grapefruit back cross. Delivery should be this week. I have enough confidence now in Next Generation to give them another shot with these genetics. I saw some great Youtube grows of it. One guy has been growing it 11 years!

Never tried Grapefruit, but my nephew in law raves about that strain.
I guess it is a sativa?
Nope.......It's actually called "Sweet Pink Grapefruit" or something like that. It's got to be similar to Grape God since it's a parent. Check this out:

No one knows the genetics for sure. I've heard it's a skunk hybrid, that's all. I think it leans indica actually.
