this is my 2nd grow of these delicious powerplants, there's 4 of them this time. there would be more but i overvegged them to the point of them being giant monsters. i lolipopped them though; by breaking off all the bottom branches which wouldnt recieve shit for light anyway, the energy they would have used is focus'd on upper cola development. they yield excellently and the high is total sativa. the pics are day 21 right before i blasted them w/ nutes so theyre kinda hungry. im at day 22 right now, ill update in about 10 or 20 days depending on growth. i thought about posting this just incase anyone was interested in how fast they grow at first, ill make a more indepth one later. although i dunno if anyone even wants to read all this :blsmoke:

nutes: pure blend pro bloom, liquid karma, unsulphered organic molasses, diamond nectar (added at week 3), kool blooms (added at week 3)
size: around 5 feet tall at the beginning of flowering
lights: veg'd with 1000watt MH - switched to 1000watt HPS on day 1 of flower
soil: foxfarm ocean forest / light warrior
nute schedule: once a week, with water inbetween.


day 4: extended growth & node spacing

day 9: extended growth, internode spacing is by several inches so far, afros are beginning to show. growth has made them different every day

day 12: afros are nice lil budlets, tons of pistils and more than 1 calyx in top spots. stretching continues, plants have begun to reach up ward to the light

day 15: nice lil budlets, afros are gettin alot bigger - tiny crystals beginning to form. tons of bud/extended growth to accomodate more bud! its stretching and im runnin out of space.

day 18: budlets have grown out from each piece of growth, it looks like a bowls worth on every upper node - and alot of lower ones too
-stretching continues, pistils are everywhere, the tips are getting thicker
-crystals are starting to form more around the center bud leaves, very small but they stink nice
-budlets puffing up every day! calyx development is crazy, it looks different every day, adding atleast a couple calyx's a day.

day 21: pics show extreme development, theyve began to fill out a little more. it looks like alot of development for this early
-added diamond nectar & kool blooms, gave a fat dose of all nutes that night

day 22: they exploded overnight! theyre alot bigger and more crystallized, growth is phenomenal. pistils are everywhere, one head looks like an alien with tons of probes comin out
-calyx development has increased as well, its thickening up and filling out. although alot of the bottom areas arent getting enough light because the plants are so ridiculously large - 5 foot 5 inches tall atleast. theres atleast 50 tops according to several head counts, maybe ill get 2.5oz/plant!
