Well, its been a while, but I am 25 days into my fourth flower. I was two weeks into a crop of 5 DWC buckets but forgot to shut the curtain between my veg and flower rooms for a day so I just killed them. I am now flowering one Master Kush plant in a 17 gallon DWC system. It is my old mother and grew for about 4 months before I flowered it. Its like a huge bush. I used LST to tie it down and to the side to grow upwards and it has been doing great. Here are some rather poorly captured pics.

dejayou30, it's hard to believe that is a single plant! She appears to be super healthy, and her buds are HUGE for 25 days into flower. I think I am at about the same approximate stage of flower, and my lil' plant is nowhere close to showing the blooms of your lady. I think mine has gone into re-veg a bit, but your lady is super impressive!

I am guessing you throw her into flower, harvest bud, then re-veg her? And, this is the 4th time you have done so? How old is she? And, how much do you cut her back to re-veg her? Do you downsize her pot and trim back her roots too?

Thanks for the photos and information! Be good out there!

Actually, this is my second generation mother (a clone of my first mother) that I grew out for 4 months (roughly) and took clones off for my third crop. I guess this is my 5th flower because I had some root rot very early on and messed up the light cycle 3 weeks into the 4th and just decided to abort. I have never tried to reveg a harvested plant, but I am a n00b so maybe someday. It was too the point where my CFL's could no longer sustain her so I had to throw her under the HPS. I thought the buds looked big for as far along as it is as well, but I am not getting my hopes up because if all goes well, this will be my first totally successful grow so I don't want to jinx it. But I do like the way things are looking so far. :jointsmile:

I added some succanat because xCrispi said it will help with my bud mass and taste by proving carbs as sugar, so hopefully they really explode these last 2.5 weeks! I think I am going to be done growing for a while after this one so I am looking for a large yield. Thanks for the kind words!

Good luck with your yield, man. Grow is looking fine. :thumbsup:

Looking good dejayou, but at what point does a noob grower become experienced??....Don't worry about re-vegging if you want to , I'm sure you would do fine, I don't know if it was luck or not, but my first attempt at a re-veg was quite successful and I had no idea what I was doing...........:jointsmile:

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

looks very nice dj...im going to guess a yield of a few ounces. will be looking forward to seeing the finished product

[xcrispi]

Looks sweet Deja ,
Really nice buds for as early in as you are .
I just had to kill my MK at 7 wks bloom = Phuckin spider mites . Couldn't chance the other 15 girls getting them too .

I honestly don't know if I see a dif. in yield w/ the sucanat . But in the strains I do repeatedly like the Cottoncandy cross , I do notice a big dif. in flavor . I'm even using it in my current soil grow , not just the hydro . Shhhhhh that's right - I said it . "soil grow" . Don't tell Stinky

A break from growing ???? I feel lost w/o atleast a lil something something going on .

Keep up the good work man .

HOLY FUCKING TAMOLY!!!!

Now.....THAT'S MY BOY!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

*Sniff*....I'm SO PROUD!

Well, the sucanat apparently backfired. I went into my room tonight to find the plant with drooping and curled leaves. I opened the res to find a nasty smell and a bunch of slime. I think the sucanat fermented or something and the whole thing went sour and I had slime suffocating my roots.

I massaged what I could out of the roots and then cleaned everything and put it in a new res. I put in a little bit of 3% H2O2, some Hygrozyme, and about 200 PPM of nutes so its sitting around 500 PPM. Hopefully it will bounce back, it was doing so great.

How long does it usually take for a plant to spring back to life after something like this?
