1/3: (Day 54)(Day 17 Flower)

How 'bout them Bruins!?

Chow time! :glugglug:
Everybody gets the FF week 7 feeding @ 100%, pH'd to 6.5. The two larger plants were very dry, each sucked up 1.5 gallons easily. The X2d had wilted slightly. Going to have to go to individual schedules I suppose. The X1 took about a gallon and the BW slightly less. The BW could have easily gone another day or two.

Next time out, if using the FFOF. I'll cut it with at least 25% more Perlite to speed up the dry time. I feel it's retaining a lil' too much moisture, I'd like to feed everyone every 3 days or so.

No problems at all with the FF nutrients. The plants all look good with no obvious deficiencies, or burning.

This is the first taste of the "Beastie Bloomz" so I'll keep an eye on 'em. This week in the schedule seems pretty heavy. Feeding included the 1/2 tsp of BB.


Flowering is kickin' in! The BW was the first to start, she was showing some little blooms on 12/28. The others all followed about two days later.

The stretch continues. Since the flip, 17 days ago:

BW has added 10" & is @ 30". Sturdy and very compact branching. I've never been a big fan of trimming away leafs, but this girl may be a candidate for it.

X1d has added 18", currently @38". Not too shabby.

X2d has added 26" and tops-out @ 46". I'm really interested to see this one grow-out.

KK has added 24" and is @ 48". This is my favorite! I hope she slows-down with the stretch.

I took a couple pics of each, X1d & X2d in this post. BW & KK to follow.

Pics of the BW and KK.

Pics came out crappier than usual...apologies! I'll have to work on that.

Swapped the lights around. Have the bare-bulb above the X1d and BW. Plenty of room back there, and I think the lower placement of the vertical bulb will help side development on the two taller plants in front. :thumbsup:

The AC hood above the X2d and KK only has a couple chain-links left to raise the fixture. After that, I'm fabricating some custom pieces to hang the reflector @ the tents highest point, between two of the top supports. I figure the girls will chew up those last two links by tomorrow.

After that, they'll get about another 10" 'till they hit the glass-ceiling. I keep catching the KK tickling the glass, she better stop it!

Damn leggy girls! :i feel stupid:

1/5 (Day 56)(Day 19 Flower)

Seeing an increase in the "frostiness" on the KK now. An obvious increase over the last couple days.

Stretch has slowed quite a bit, as well. Hopefully, she's done with that.

1/8 (Day 59)(Day 22 Flower)

Everybody gets a good flush today. Plain water pH'd to ~6.8.

No real news...<yawn> The stretch is just about done, all around.

KK only added an inch over the last 3 days. She's @ 52". There's still a lil' room to grow, so she should be fine to finish-up "unmolested". :jointsmile:
The KK is frostin' up pretty quick. The Breeders desc. says she really turns it on @ 5 weeks. I can't wait!

BW is @ 33" and pumpin' out pistils. She's slower than the KK when it comes to the trichs. Hardly any frost showing on the BW, just a hint. :wtf: With the WW genes in there, she should show some frosty-goodness, soon. (I would think)

I'd like to try dropping the lights-out temp, to try and coax some decent color out of her.

The 2 Bagseed girls are hangin' in there, too! Not showing anything spectacular, but we'll see.

X1d is @ 44"

X2d is @ 50" This one has really spread-out.


The Bag-seed girls & one shot of the whole crew.

[EvilCartman]

how tall was she b4 you started to flower?

The KK was 24" @ the flip.

looking very nice man hope she does 'turn on' soon..

Thanks MG! She seems to be following the same playbook as MPs KK, so I don't think she'll disappoint. MPs looked really sweet. :thumbsup:

A few random parting shots...



... and a little weirdness. :wtf:

Finally got around to doing something with the cuts taken a while back. The ones that have rooted got put into 100% Perlite today. One of the 3 BW cuts is exhibiting that odd-ball, "3-leafer" characteristic. I didn't notice it when I took the cut, just lopped-off the lowest branches without really paying too much attention to inspecting them. Apparently, this branch marched to a different beat. So, one of the BW "clones" has her own personality. Lousy pic, but it's the one furthest back.

Still got 2 cuts sittin' here without any roots. :upsidedow
They were the smallest cuts, they'll sit in the bubbler until they root,..or die tryin'. They still look good, they're just lazy, I guess.

That'll do for now...

1/13 (Day 64)(Day 27 Flower)

Feeding day! FF week 8 schedule w/ 1/2 tsp of the Beastie Bloomz. The KK and X2d suck-up about 1 3/4 gallons ea. The BW takes ~1 gal.
The X1d..:wtf:..NO SOUP FOR YOU!!

Not much vertical growth going on, probably under an inch, all around. Not going to measure today. The bigger ones are a bit of a PITA to move around right now. Almost had a disaster when I neglected to turn off the ceiling-fan!
Next watering, the KK and X2d will get some extra support, the side branches are just flopping around aimlessly, gonna pull them all around for a better view of the bare bulb. I'll take a measurement then.

BW is lookin' a bit better in the "essential oils" department. The newer growth is finally starting to frost-up. Looks like she's gonna have a pretty decent size top. So far, I'm liking this plant, ...no surprises! :thumbsup:

Looking great! Loving the dayglo pistils.
