Day 34. More pics - some with the HPS bulb on, and some the next morning with just the flash. Tried to get a good shot of the big one on the right that grew into the cool part of the cooltube.

Day 32. Sorry again about the lack of posts, but I have lost my job and have much less access to a computer now. But I'm still growing and things will be fine! Especially after harvest! So - I've switched over to 'Cha-Ching' for the final stages before flush, and stopped the Grow Big of course...

Day 27. Buds are filling in nicely, and there is some definite light bleaching going on on some of the top middle buds, but that will be just fine in the end. Good trichome development...looking very sugary.

Day 24 of flowering. Sorry for the lack of posts here recently, but I've just been fired from my job so I don't have as much access to a pc as I used to. Things are pretty much just chugging along as usual, but here are a few more pics. Oh - and D@w$y yeah the Canna Boost is just sucrose sort...

Day 20 of flowering - I've started really pushing a lot of nutes into these girls since I haven't seen any signs of nute burn yet. I'm talking 3 tsp of Grow Big, 3 tsp of Tiger Bloom, 2 tbl of Big Bloom, and 1/2 - 5/8 tsp of Beastie Blooms per gallon of distilled! I'm going to keep it strong...

Day 56 from seed, day 18 of 12/12. Heads are filling up pretty good now. Plant on right (tallest) is 28" tall. The other 2 plants are about 24 - 25". BTW - forgot to say that I was giving them the Fox Farm soluables also. The first 2 weeks of flowering I gave them the 'Open Sesame' along...

Day 55...or, day 17 of 12/12. Take your pick.

Day 54. Broke out the Olympus camera. Here are some more shots, some with the HPS on and some with just the camera flash. ; )

Day 52 - Could only get 1 decent pic of the heads filling up with my cell phone camera. This is day 14 of flowering. The girls seem to be taking a little longer this time, but they are coming around nicely now. All bud sites are filling up with nice little white pistils. There are about 17 - 20...

Day 50 - Switched MH bulb over to HPS. The first 12 days of 12/12 were under MH, as I heard this helps in keeping the stretch down. I wait until they are basically done stretching before I switch the bulb over to HPS.

Day 49 - Here is one pic of all 3 plants, and two closeups of tops by the cooltube. This is the last day of using the MH bulb.

Day 44 - The air from the AC unit blowing directly on the plants is not only drying out the soil way too fast, but is now causing the plants to bend away from the air flow. I knew this was going to get to be a problem. I've been putting off dealing with this for too long now, so it's time to...

Day 42 - Here are the last 3 pics showing all 8 of the plants. I decided to yank the males now after only 4 days of 12/12 because I let the plants veg until they preflowered and I feel the girls have already showed themselves. There was only 1 plant that I was semi-unsure of, and it finally...

Day 37 - Well, I don't know if a 24 HR period of darkness is required (or even necessary!) before inducing flowering, but I read that this helps the transition into flowering so I do it. I can usually determine sex easily within a week this way. The last 2 pics before the lights went OUT!

Day 36 - So I've never flushed my plants before, but this time I figured it would be a good thing to do. Plus, with the dehumidifying effect of the AC unit, I'm kinda worried excess salts might build up in the substrate and cause problems. I bought the Clearex, mixed 12 mL into each GAL of...

Day 33. This pic shows the plants and, more importantly, the AC vent very clearly. I have also been FIMing / topping (FIMing...so hard to do right!) the faster growing plants to keep them at roughly the same height as the slower growing plants for an even canopy. Of course this also promotes...

Check out the FAT meristem and the robust secondary growth on this little guy...

OK, so being the mega-stoner I am I totally spaced on PH levels and the need to measure them. (It's been 4 months since the last cycle, so I've been out of the game for a while.) I had been watering with a PH of about 5.2, since I hadn't added any PH-up after the nutrients dropped the PH...

Day 20 from seed:

Here's a quick pic of the last harvest this thing turned out, without the portable AC. This is what I'm trying to beat...last time was 0.5625 grams per watt, let's see what happens this time around!
