Im running them in 5 gal buckets with a commercial air pump that looks exactly like yours actually. using GH flora nova koolbloom and flora plus. I just cant wait till they are done.

Please feel free to post pictures of your grow here... Considering we're using the same air pump and nutrient brand.
So here are a few pictures, the quality isn't the greatest. The first one shows size, the guy in the picture is roughly 6 feet tall. These babies have been through a lot, they were stretched in the beginning due to lighting issues, our first air pump took a shit on us and almost killed them, and we had to move them to our new place at the end of veg.. They've been through A LOT haha. The good thing is we learn something new everyday and this will be our first successful grow, being as our last one was a failure due to multiple things that we didn't know at the time because of lack of experience. So please tell us what you think, we gladly appreciate any input. One more thing, we are in week 5 of flowering but we know they are a little behind to due all the things they've been through and insufficient lighting at the beginning of flowering. Oh and the strand is BC Big Bud from BC Bud Depot. First time trying it so tell us what you think! Thanks!

Only your second grow, huh? Not bad at all.
Ah, good ol' GH. I see they're doing their thing on your plants as well.
I don't have any criticism really (not in a critical mood). I'll just say nicely done and good growing. I'll be checking on your progress for lack of anything better to do. Lol.
Edit:
Oh, and from what I know of that strain, those colas are gonna get disgustingly big... Hence the name of the strain, huh? Watch out for mold with such huge buds... keep the air dry.

I'd say stick with what you're growing now. You're an expert at growing this strain to be sure. And it sounds like it produces an incredible high. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Yeah for my next one i was thinking of scroging white widow or something. and i need to make my grow room better. I didnt top these ones at all and i wish i would have. Even light distribution will be key next time.

I doubt the Blackberry Kush was anything like Plushberry if you weren't satisfied
There are so many crap kush this kush that berry this berry that strains out there especially whack ones getting churned through one of California's many craptastic clone-mills. I was simply implying that I had connections to a rare strain from a master breeder. Wasn't trying to step on toes. I'll have you know though, that comment about PB being inferior to OGK is a bit hasty. The Pink Lady was released a few months ago, at a limited supply, and is quickly being referred to *the* greatest tasting flower by master growers in the medical world. Some people just like their coffee black though, and I'm cool with that. I wish I could suggest a good OG strain for you, but I've been turned off of that recently. Everyone in Cali is growing normal weed and calling it OG now-a-days. Charlie Sheen OG, Skywalker OG, Banana OG, Black Diamond OG, Platinum Blackberry OG... You get the point. There are breeders who dedicate themselves to the art of growing cannabis, and there are breeders who dedicate themselves to the art of making money. Not too worried about growing Subcool's gear when it comes to the quality we all want. Beyond down to earth, so much so, that you can see him posting quality content exclusively here on the RIU forums every single day. Some guys just sit in Amsterdam pumping out seeds with the name "Cali" on it.Anyways, enough banter from me. Keep at it - That's going to be one hell of a harvest. You have been killing it from the get go. Awesome shit

Hey, man. Thanks for popping in again.
You give me too much credit. I've become familiar (very familiar) with growing OG strains, and tho there are many, they all behave similarly (some stretching taller than others of course). But you're right. If I do decide another run at Diablo, I'll know exactly what to expect, huh?

Well hello, stranger! I'm hoping that your poking your head in here again means you have an update? I'll check after I eat something... Starving.

No, no, this is all good stuff. I can see you're a pot veteran by the way you talk.
You're so right about all the junk floating around calling itself berry this berry that OG this OG that. The market is flooded with so so genetics. The Blackberry genetics I picked up were crap, but that would be limited in my thinking to apply one bad experience to a more legit strain. Okay, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to what's being talked about and done in hardcore growing/breeding circles. I'll look into Plush some more and get back to you with the findings on my research.
I stick to growing OG because if you can get it to come out just right, it's like gold in LA. The trick is getting that real OG smell and taste to come out... I also love that aspect of the challenge. But again, I'm intrigued by the Plush and will study up on it.
I hope they get disgustingly big! Speaking of disgustingly big, I haven't been completely honest. We have a fifth plant that is absolutely ridiculous in size, I think the picture will say it all, it isn't as developed as the smaller ones but still has lots of flowers forming. It started at the same time as all the others but it just got out of hand... Haha
Thanks for the heads up on the mold, our humidity runs at about 16% almost all the time and hardly ever reaches 25%. If you have any other pointers on how to manage our monster, we would greatly appreciate it!

Right on
Look it up, there's a lot of info here on RIU about her. May not be what you're looking for, but definitely worth a look. If you're a grower, you might want to pay attention when Subcool slaps his name on a kush strain for the first time ever. The dude does not mess about.

That's very pretty. Looks like bamboo. Look at the thickness of the main stem. That plant has vigor. If you had trained it horizontally when it was still small and bendy, you'd have a bush instead of a bamboo tree. Next time.
Yes, we will do many things differently next time around. But yes the stem is an absolute beast and we just plan on giving it the time it needs to develop. Quick question though, I've seen you use Liquid Koolbloom and I wondering if in these last few weeks, have you used Dry Koolbloom? I've read that it's used in the final stages of growing and helps pack on lots of weight. So I was curious if you had any experience using it and how much you used. Thanks again!

Never used the original Koolbloom in powder form, but I would imagine Liquid Koolbloom is exactly the same only in a water soluble solution form. I think it's just a matter of preference really.
Yeah, im gonna look into and. If i use it ill let you know how it goes.
Your girls are looking great. Nice job

Fucking giant buds! Im so jealous!
I just pumped out more nute. They're running on 630ppm now. Poor leaves. They never stood a chance.
These next two are actually shots of the weaker plant 2. Can you believe it? I knew she could do it!
And lastly, a macro of the biggest nug of the bunch:

You're running a water grow. Save yourself the extra step of having do dissolve powder. Use Liquid Koolbloom, I stake my donkey dicks on it.
