Sorry guys, I know I have been slacking on the journal. Here is the update, I started flowering four days ago, and everything is going as good as it can. I transplanted them yesterday into bigger pots. Still using the botanicare line, and I gotta say I am very impressed with botanicare fulvex it saved my life and really helped my plants blow up. I am now running the 600 watt hps with 4 110 watt 2700 k bulbs for supplemental lighting. No major problems besides the plants gettin to big for their pots, which isn't always a bad thing, but it is def annoying next time I'm starting in 2 gallon buckets and going up to 5 for flower. By using the small pots and having to transplant alot def slowed my grow down, my last plants where bigger than the ones I have now, and they only vegged them for 4 weeks, but after running into the deficiency and having to transplant three times, it slowed down my growth. Hey I'm still learning too so I'm not too worried about it. Next grow I'm going with auto flowers and im going to be using ten gallon buckets, I want to do a test proving how much the pot size makes a difference in the size of the plant itself,and overall yield. All my plants except for a few have been topped, some have been topped four times, and are really bushy some grew back three tops. Out of all ten plants only two were males, so I must be doing something right, or I'm just extremely lucky, either way I think I'm really starting to understand these cannabis plants.


(these are all pics from the internet I do not grow or condone growing illegal cannabis plants and am following all regulations and laws that the state of NY has laid out before us)
