Mega lumen setup. Fingers crossed!

Lots of buds, lots of trichs, things are building up pace now!

Indeed! Really lookin' good! Keep those cords plugged in.

Pic 3 shows some nice trichs forming on the smaller plant.

Nice! Those buds are gonna look killer! :thumbsup: Looks like a good plant for making butter or hash.

Cheers man, I have grown this strain before and made butter from the leaves (of 1 plant). The result was :stoned::stoned: me and a few mates were absolutely fried, I mean couldn't even move. That was from 1 cookie each made from the butter, with enough butter for about 48 cookies. Now I have half a cookie and that is :stonederfect:stoned: as long as you don't have anything important to do!

Nute change shortly, they are now starting 5 weeks of 12/12, so time to boost P & K! Got some Vitalink Buddy (used on my previous grows as well) which is a phosphorous and potassium flower/bud booster. Will update later once done.

Thought I'd add some pics I've just taken with my USB microscope of some of the bud from my last grow.... let me know what you guys think! :jointsmile:

Nute change has been done, and bud booster has been added. Each bucket is filled to around 16 litres with water, and at this stage of flowering I am adding canna aqua flores: 20ml part A, and 20ml of part B. Then adding Vitalink buddy: 15 ml.

My water which has a mS of 0.8 then becomes around 1.8 mS.

I then use around 2 - 2.5ml phosphoric acid to bring the pH down from around 6.7 to 5.6. Then sit back and watch them grow...:hippy:

As you may know if you have read this log from the start, both these plants are clones taken from the same mother. Although the smaller of the 2 is smaller 'cos I screwed up a bit and left the air pump off for around 5 days. Strangely I have noticed that the smaller (screwed up) plant is producing masses more frosty trichs than the larger (not screwed up) plant :wtf:. Anyone have an idea why this could be? The only reason other than the damage done when the air pump was left off could be that it is quite a bit more distant from the light due to being much smaller. Really odd, any ideas are welcome!

Below is a pic of a cola on the smaller plant. By the way, the big leaves that are covered in trichs aren't piddly 1 in long jobbies, they are about 4 inches long.

Crikey, been a while! They are stating week 7 of 12/12. Just changed nutes. Each bucket contains 16 litres of water, 20ml Canna Aqua Flores A, 20ml Canna Aqua Flores B, and have upped Vitalink Buddy from 15ml to 20ml.

They are coming on nicely, and starting to swell. Trichs are looking great too!

Pics were taken yesterday. The main cola on the taller plant dwarfs everything else. Projected harvest date.......... 25th December, oh there will be much merriness and festivities to be had this xmas in my house! :stoned:

Damn Loafy, looking GREAT! Its awesome because Im about a week behind and even though Im using soil the progress is fairly comparable to your pretty ladies! Keep up the great work!

Yeah, I notice this strain takes an age for the flowers to fill out, but they are just starting to fatten up rapidly, and will get real big in the next 3-4 weeks. How long is your flower period going to be in total BD? I am gonna chop mine at around 10 weeks or so, gives the best balance of head/body effect, although the first grow I did with this strain I let it go nearly 12 weeks and it was total couchlock! lol

Wow man this grow is doing very well. So just a quick question on this.
*was your frist grow of this strain done in soil before the DWC buckets and if so has the growth doubled using DWC.
*what did you use for materials to make you DWC buckets.
But As far as I can see you 2 lovely ladies and doin well and are going to produce very nicely in that cabinet. Canny wait to see the final results. Best of luck.

Well I was planning for a 8-9 week period(based on strain info), which would make harvest at mid december, but I am not so sure if my little girl will be done by then with CFL's. I'm fairly sure that I'm gonna have a 2 stage harvest, chop the big tops, and let the bottom get some light, because as it stands now, pretty much everything below the canopy is tiny tiny. I however am not after supreme couchlock smoke(just something worth my time), but I certainly wouldn't complain if that's how it turned out

Also I'm not so sure about flushing, or rather, exactly how long/when to start. I figure once they look near done, then start the flush for another week or two. Does that sound about right?
