    Ok. Its been too long. Wanted to get my photos up and show how everything turned out. I won't be able to write out everything that happened as time is the factor here. Have been super busy with work and spend alot of the day on the computer and finding it hard to make time to post on here. Forgive me but if wasn't for the help I received on this forum, I wouldn't have the harvest that this plant became. Long version might make it up here but for now, this strain was exactly what I was looking for. High CBD with almost no high at all. Complete pain relief with out the head high. My body feels amazing about 40 min after ingesting. About the 4-5th week of flower the buds smelled like grapefruit. They started to turn a dark purple on the fan leaves growing out of the buds. Finished off with a two week flush of straight r/o PH'd water theat seemed to work for a very smooth and citrus tasting almost sweet smoke.
    I could ramble on all day but......time is of the essence. Enjoy the pics and thanks again to everyone that offered help and guidance through out this second round. This forum is the best hing that has ever happened to the home horticulturalist. I've learned so much and realize there is so much more to learn. I only wish I could give back as much as I have received from here.

          Have made some time to get some stuff written down. The pics that are posted are from week 5 until the day before harvest. I was pretty happy with this second grow. Tried not to be in there all the time. Let it grow and do it’s thing. Started to straight water it 2 weeks before harvest and flushed it out with 3x the container size a week before harvest. I would just copy down from my journal but I’m not at home right now. So I’m just going off of what I remember doing. One thing I really remember is that around week 6 of bud, the whole branch would flop over and I had to wire up everything to keep the flowers under the light instead of pointing at the floor. A good problem to have but still time consuming.
          Only doing one plant at a time I was able to really keep things under control a lot better. The final pot size was 7 gallon equivalent superoots airpot (same size as a 5 gallon) The root system of the plant was incredible. It was like trying to push your finger through a screen door when pushing into the soil. Highly recommended even with the extra watering.
          Tried to keep the PH at around 6.0-6.3 and it seemed to do the trick. I have no idea why the PH dropped so low. Unless it was just buildup of salts from the nutrients. The last couple of weeks of straight water straightened out everything and the run off stuck in the 6.0-6.1ph range.
          Didn’t get to weigh the dry weight after harvest but taking a good guess, I would say 10-13oz off this harvest. Kind of makes me laugh that I harvested 15oz off of 6 plants last round. This time I would say 10 oz off of 1 plant is a way better way to go.
          So all in all this 2nd round was a complete success. The Thunderstruck strain was just what I was looking for. Kills the pain with next to no high. Makes the body feel gooooood!!! So now for the next grow journal because this one has come to an end. Will still make a few posts on here after I weigh everything and get the final weight.
          Thanks again to everyone who helped and guided me through with expert help. This is the best site in all of cyber-land for anyone who wants to hone the skill of indoor horticulture.
          And thanks to NebulaHaze and all the people that keep this site up and running so that all of us "green thumbs" have a place to frequent.
