Yeah Phelps the Motivation is doing ok, but not nearly as good as the Armageddon. I think it has a longer flowering period, so it's moving a little slower. Here is the Motivation...

Yeah man i think it would be hard to compare with your armeggedon lol.. That thing looks so good!

Damn man i think you must have got a different pheno motivation then me cause mine is doing great! Really crystally, the buds seem to be alittle fuller to, although none of the hair's have turned yet.

My diesel looks just like your armeggedon... Its engulfed in thc, i love it!!!

I have 2-3 weeks left so I think I'm going to do a res change this weekend and just fill it with plain water for a good flush. Phelps I want to see your Motivation if you can hit me up with a pic.

Honestly in my opinion i would feed nutes for another week at full strength, then back down to 800 or so ppm's for another week then flush for two.. From the looks of your last pic i would guess you probably have more like 4 weeks left..

Ill try to get a good one man, the only problem is my camera fucking sucks.. I wish i would have never lost my old one cause this new one just doesnt do the girls justice..

Shit i forgot your armeggedon is farther along then the motivation.. What i would reccomend if you can is still running full nutes on them both for another week then if you can disconnect your motivation bucket from your re-circulating system while you flush the other one.. Looks like your motivation will probably need a week or two longer then your armeggedon..

Yeah I was actually going to do that :mrgreen: I dropped my PPMs to 1050 already because according to my schedule I have 2-3 weeks left for the Armageddon. The Motivation was germinated at the same time as the Armageddon, but it's moving a lot slower so yeah I was thinking about just clamping the hoses connected to the bucket and keep the nutes full strength for a couple more weeks. I'm going to keep the PPMs at 1050 for another week (maybe 2) for the Armageddon and then I'll do a res change with plain R/O water and let her finish for a couple more weeks.

Just went over the plants with my scope. No amber trichs yet. I would say 50/50 clear/cloudy. I'm going to flush for 2 weeks as soon as I start seeing a decent amount of amber trichs. I adjusted some branches and moved some fan leaves around and in the process I got trichomes all over my hands. When I rub my fingers together it smells like really hashy fruit. I love it! This stuff is going to be DANK!

Word man i think clamping the hose is an excellent idea.. Within the month my friend you are going to def be choppin and croppin lol.. Is it the motivation or the armegeddon that smell's way fruity? I know my movtivation smell's fruity with a hing of something else..

Did you by chance take any clones from your armeggedon?

My motivation doesn't have much of a smell yet, it's the armageddon. And no I never took any clones because I'm closing up shop for a couple months after this grow and starting again after December. What I did was I gave my buddy one of the seedlings and he is keeping it in veg as a mother for me and he will give me clones when I need them. I'm thinking about doing 2 buckets next time with a ScrOG. I really want to try some of my other seeds though like Pineapple Chunk, Vanilla Kush, Sensi Star, Sharksbreath, Cole Train, Sour Kush, Wappa, Warlock, Chronic, Rocklock, or Sour Cream. All the freebies I've acquired. I still have a few Pineapple Express seeds left too. I don't know though, this Armageddon is CRAZY.

Last night I went in to check on the girls and one of my Armageddons net cup fell through the hole in the lid of the bucket from the weight of the plant. The whole plant was sideways and one of the branches snapped. I rigged the net cup up with tape and rope so now its standing up again and the cup can't fall through. It really sucks though. The whole angle of the plant is off now and some of the side branches went limp so I had to tie them up. Hopefully they will straighten up. I'm definitely doing a ScrOG or perpetual next grow. I clipped about an eighth off the broken branch. At least I can sample the goods I guess, even though the trichs are still clear/cloudy.

I took some close up shots of one of the buds that came off the broken branch. You can see the trichs aren't ready yet. I dried one in the oven so I could smoke it and it gave me a really racey clear high.

Oh word thats cool that you gave your buddy a seed.. That will def make it easier.. But damn man you got alot of seed stocked up haha.... Well i guess i do to haha.. I have some 0g18 x skunk, la conf x skunk, kandy kush x skunk, Kushberry x skunk, sleetstack x skunk, wreckage, cole train, warlock, sweet haze, auto blueberry, road runner, hashplant haze x sativa bagseed, mk ultra x sativa bag seed.... Shit i didnt realize i had that many till now hahaha..

As far as my next grow goes, i took clones from all my plants now, once i chop em and crop em ill be able to tell which ones i want to run again.. Im probably going to with the Diesel, Motivation, and some warlock..

Man i had a very similar thing happen to me, i have 1 northern lights under my hps in soil, the pot is somewhat resting on the edge of my motivation buket and my la conf bucket, a few days ago i was adding nutes and my motivation took a dive down, luckily its all tangled in the screen cause it didnt damage the plant at all, i just had to pull it up through, which by the way was a huge pain in the ass, but after i pulled it through it seemed to be fine.. I think the scrogg would really benefit you man, probably def help up your yield!

So did you enjoy the high? Did it taste good and all?

The high is really intense and almost panicky feeling. I can tell the taste will be great with proper drying/curing. As far as the plant tipping over I think it might have been a good thing unless it stressed her. Now she is leaning a little and more light is hitting more of the bud sites. We'll see...

Damn that sucks man, Did they just go hermie or did you find some seeds or what? If they are just popping ball's now in my opinion you could probably still let them finish for a couple weeks longer..

Yeah I just started seeing the little shiny beads starting. No bananas or anything. I spread out the branches on my other 2 so they are getting a lot more light now. Still no amber trichs anywhere. I'm almost suspecting a light leak somewhere.
 

Michael Phelps

Damn that sucks man.. Def check to see if their is light leak cause that would def explain the hermies, or i think it could have been when your plant fell into the water.. My first grow i had a plant die 30 or so days into flowering and it actually allowed all my bottom buds to fully develop..

I'm definitely making a tent for the next grow and now I'm debating whether or not to sell my 600w and get two 400w so that I have multiple light sources. Definitely ScrOG next time too.
