Well, i started my log a little late but here are some pics of my ladies at 3 1/2 weeks. The strain is brainstorm (NL #5 x Haze). They have a nice lemon/fruity hint to them, one seems to be maturing faster than the other 2 though, and the scent has changed a bit, not as fruity. My room hit the 90's for a 2 days until i could get control of the temp when they were pretty far into veg. Good strong strain though, it did well against heat, and the one that is flowering faster was the one my cat had attacked when they were young. So far so good though, definately looks to be a good strain, can't wait to smoke it!! :rastasmoke:
Shit, pics are being a bitch right now, ill post them later tonite!

GOD DAMN!!
NICE!!!!
I do see signs of salts build up, Have you done a flush and maybe some ph down. I say that because your leaves are yellowing to early in the 2nd pic full plant shot.

Yeah, the yellowing started a day or 2 ago, it was worse but i flushed with 2 gallons of water, i may flush her some more today. I'm using Coast of Maine organic soil (support local agriculture/business :jointsmile:), Foxfarm growbig/big bloom/tiger bloom, liquid carbo load on 2 plants molasses on another. From what i can tell the molasses seems to make the buds swell a little more than the carbo load, honestly i haven't been too impressed with it and will probably use molasses from now on. Thanks for the info and comments!! :smokin:
Oh, it's indica/sativa here is the description of it, 10 feminized seeds were 99 bucks, more than worth it so far. Oh, and this plant is very easy to clone by the way!
Brainstorm (formerly Hempstar) is an easy to grow strain introduced in 1996. The strain has been updated for the second time in 2006 by selecting a premium clone from the original seed stock. Through this premium clone the ??Brainstorm? feminized seed line is produced.
Brainstorm is a sturdy plant with the power and yield of the famous Northern Lights #5, hybridized with potent 100% Haze genetics. Brainstorm has a solid, strong long lasting "high", combined with a well balanced, soft smoking experience. Good for bumper harvests. A perfect variety to select clones from. Brainstorm is one of the highest yielding feminized strains.

Update -
I clipped off a few large fan leaves yesterday to allow more light, and I also clipped the tiny buds at the very bottom to concentrate the growth up to those juicy colas, those buds wouldn't really amount to anything at all anyways. I checked my calendar and they're at about 5 weeks, so far so good, ill have to get a better shot of all 3 seperately, the biggest one looks goblet shaped from a side view which is cool :jointsmile: As soon as these are harvested i'm going to change my setup a bit and upgrade a few things. New pics in a day or 2!! Always remember have fun, play safe, and wash up when your through :rastasmoke:

Wow, are they from clones? must be to have matured to that state in three and a half weeks. How did you manage that?

I meant 3 1/2 weeks into flowering sorry, the are all three from seed.
here they are now, about a week and half to go :jointsmile: They have a nice mix of a fruity/sweet/earthy scent and the buds are VERY tight and dense. The biggest plants leaves yellowed pretty bad, but i flushed her, i also clipped big fan leaves to let more light in the canopy. So far i'm happy with my first grow :thumbsup:

photobucket. Thanks for the comments I am very happy so far! i clipped almost all large/yellow leaves to let more light in, they have gotten fatter just since i took these pics a few days ago. A light squeeze and the buds feel very heavy and dense. The next bid update will be the harvest!!! Can't wait :jointsmile:
