    Looks like it leans toward Sativa alright.
    And from the length and curlyness of the pistils, the big girl still has several weeks to go.
    Those buds are not as plump as they are going to be.

    Good job!
    They may be a bit rootbound.
    I say that because the chemistry is off.
    I see Phosphorus, and Calcium lockout.
    That usually means low PH.

    But since you used no nutes, it is unlikely that it's getting low PH water.
    And the Calcium sign is recent, (It's on the newer leaves), my guess is,
    Shoes too small for the feet are hosing the chemistry.

    The bottom leaves say that there are active fungus gnat larvae in the root-zone.
    Without them, those gals would be larger and healthier.
    Lay some dryer sheets on the soil surface and it bollixes hatching, and egg laying.
    Breaks their life cycle without poisons or bad smells.
    If you start with gnat free soil, the sheets will keep it from getting infested in the first place

    Just my 2 cents.
    Going to be an excellent harvest for all that.

    Aloha,

    Thanks again!

    I'll give the dryer sheets a try.. I've been going through everything from Neem oil to H2O2 to alternating letting the soil completely dry out to try and kill those little f**kers.

    Hey Weezard!

    The dryer sheets do seem to be working miracles. After placing them last night (1 sheet per plant, cut in half and placed on either side of the main stem) I have yet to see any soil activity today, and very few actual gnats flying around! Thanks so much for that tip, seems like exactly what I was needing!

    I just tear them half way through and slide 'em around the stem.

    Stops root aphids, mosquitoes, and yellowjackets too.
    Anything that hunts by scent.
    It won't kill off an ongoing infestation, but it does slow it down.

    Un-infested soil stays clean, and it allows air exchange.
    You can water through it, but I lift it up for watering.
    No wanna knock down the scent.

    Aloha,

    Oddly enough, back during my first marriage, I worked at the factory that produces that cloth the dryer sheets are made from. Apparently there are only about a half dozen of these factories in the world. Due to some very specific air quality issues, these factories can only be placed in certain areas, and I just happen to live in one of these areas!

    Hmm looks like I'm going to have to add more, I thought just a couple of pieces would do the trick, but you've got the entire container covered.

    Any suggestions about what kind of soil to start with? I have recently switched to miracle grow... after the mess of gnats were discovered in a previous 'cheap' soil. Unfortunately, this particular batch of miracle grow seems to be infested as well which is something I hadn't seen before.

    Also, is there anything I can do to the soil before planting that would kill these bastards? I've heard using H2O2 diluted at 1 to 4 parts water will kill the larvae. If I were to get my soil in advance and soak it down with the mixture, would that help?

    Those buds should just about double in size in a very short time.

    After they swell, yet more patience is required.
    If you do not wait for at least a few "rusty colored" resin glands, you will be "leaving money on the table"
    It's one thing to have plenty of resin glands, but their maturity is the major factor for their potency.

    I jumped the gun on my first three grows.
    One of my few regrets.
