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 through the 3rd week while I'm using the Grow Big and Beastie Blooms, and then revert back to the actual feeding schedule dosages when those two fall off and I switch over to 'Cha-Ching' and the Canna 'Boost' that I use during the last few weeks.
These girls are going nuts now! The buds are already starting to frost up and they are noticably bigger everyday. My only problem is a little light bleaching up the uppermost colas directly under the bulb. I'm using a Hortilux 'Eye Super HPS' bulb and these affected buds are about 1.5" away from the cooltube. I could move the light up a little more, but last time when this happened those buds grew to 3" in diameter (albeit there was a little bit of 'bleaching' in them). Since light from a 400w only penetrates 12" down into the canopy, I'm trying to keep it where it is if I can. I might look into a hotspot diffuser for the bulb...
Here are 5 different shots of the plants/colas, and one macro shot I took showing one of the buds closest to the door that I could get to easily. ; )

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 of like molasses but geared toward cannabis. I think it makes the buds very sweet and tasty. ; )

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 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. I've started using the Canna Boost also. I've also got newbies on the way... ; )
Some more pics for your viewing pleasure.

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.
