Bud looks nice for maturing plant. Get a little scope to check trichomes. Ratshack has one for 10 bucks. Look in the faq's section on tric's, you want mostly cloudy. A few amber a few clear.
OH trichomes are the crystal looking sticky stuff that you want alot of. Close up looks like a golf ball on a golf tee.
You got it going on, just keep asking questions and tuning in. Get a little fish tank thermometer. 68 to 70 is great for your water temps.
Glad to help, just trying to pay it forward till I can get back in on it. I learned alot from latewood.
Is Ratshack.com the online store you're talking about? I went to that website and it says the domain is down right now. Do you know any other recommendations that I could look at? Point me out to a specific scope if possible. I noticed that it is getting close to the end, beginning of harvest. Do the pistils turn amber after the chop (harvest) or before the the chop? I'm going to get a fish tank thermometer as soon as possible. Thanks for the help.

When I purchase a fish tank thermometer, how do I adjust the temps to the exact degree of 68? I currently have the plant flushing with pH adjusted water as of now, out of the FoxFarm Trio (Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom), which combination would you recommend and what dosage? Can I also add Sweet by Botanicare at the same feeding of FoxFarm? Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the reply! I'm not sure if its a musty odor or the "musty" odor of the strain (LOL). Since this is my first grow, I have no comparison. By the time I realized I was going to have a height issue, it was too late. By the time it shot up in the air, it was in deep flower, so I didn't want to risk me breaking any limbs trying to tie down the main cola. I understand LST and FIM, but I honestly didn't think that I would have a height issue, because I vegged for only two weeks (four weeks from seed), and the plant was standing at only about 4 inches tall when I switched to 12/12. Now the plant is almost as tall as me!

1. The pH meter stick I'm using.
2. The air-stones that I'm using to supply the roots with oxygen.
3. The pH Up and pH Down I have to adjust the pH of the water.
4. The FoxFarm Trio.
5. A couple of other nutrients I have.
