Hi. Just over 6 weeks from 12 12, and still seems ok. not perfect, but I have been keeping up pretty good with the trimming and training. Was seeing a few still showing N2 toxicity, but I am thinking it is just that some are less tolerant to nutrient levels. With these little 1 gallon pots I just did a flush with PH'd water to 6.0, dipping/soaking each pot fully submerged for a few minutes and drain - sort of a flush. Because of the weekly different concentrations of the nutrient schedule, I am feeding 2 sets, ones that are likely earlier and the others as if a week later. Really love this strage where the buds just keep getting heavier. Based on what I am seeing, I now think Christmas might be the earliest for some as opposed to the week before. Already had to support a few branches up - nice. Photos are kinda boring and look almost same as a week ago. Still hoping on average 1 oz per plant - but I am bad at estimating harvest. Cheers for now.

Here we are at 9 weeks from 12 12 and all is still progressing what i think is pretty good. I have some pretty good fading happening on many of the girls, and some good bud swelling. I started flushing of the ones that look close awhile ago. I overfed a few because i was feeding all the same solution (lazy) until a couple of weeks ago, Includijng in my mind the strawberry cough, one of the the violators and coco-melon in particular. These have been flushed extensively and we will see how it works out. I tried for individual attention through thr grow but failed somewhat with these ones in my lazy mode. Almost no new pistils forming. I have now harvested 4 ovwer last 2 days as they were almost no green leaves left, and some amber. I include a few photos for interest. See the neat colouring of the Strawberry Cough buds and the trichomes. I normally try to harvest indicas just when they get a little amber showing, and sativas when they show at least 25 to 30% amber, but many to do. so far harvested are Strawberry cough (ready in my mind), Lamb's Bread (virtually all leaves turned red), Northern Lights and Blue Dream (all leaves yellow and starting to get into buds). I timed me doing northern Lights which is average size, and it took 75 minutes of focus, so I have a lot of work left. super happy overall. Having so many little girls - I expect for several i started flushing too soon, but do think this stuff will be great. i forgot to take a photo of the big tent, but similar to the little one. today will do another one or 2 of the violators, so that I don't end up rushing - 14 left at 1 hour per - Hmmmm! Merry Christmas all..

Really nice color..hope my blueberry shows some great color
Sorry for the delay in this posting. basically everything just kept progressing ok. all plants were flushed for 4 days or more. I harvested half of the girl as they became ready, and then got sick just after Christmas, and still managed to get all but 5 done. The last 5 I chopped for dry trimming, only the second time I have done it, and they are almost ready to finish trimming. so far averaging over 30g per plant with around 2g of nice kief per lady. sugar leaves which have been sifted once and will be alcohol washed for some concentrate when completed. I have learned a few things that may have been obvious to others but not to me. Different plants have huge differences in light tolerance - with same light setting and height, some showed stress while others were fine. Same thing for nutrients, in that with same recipe some showed nitrogen toxicity while others were fine. it was difficult to keep track once i started trying to adjust for 17 plants with different needs - mainly because I didnt keep good notes. with so many, it was also tough for me to keep track of the flushing times, for which i guessed a lot. It did seem that the end results are all nice and super sticky, which will be confirmed after curing. a couple which didnt look as if they had many trichomes actually produced the most kief from the trim. Keeping the more light sensitive ones at the perimeter helped equalize lighting tremendously in the 4 by 4 tent with 3 by 3 light. Regarding lights, my basement is pretty chilly so heat wasnt a problem (the AC infinity fan was set only for humidity), but each time I tried to turn her up to full volume with the light at the top of the 6 ft tent, I got light burn, so the MH3000 is more than powerful enough for the 6 ft tents (all I can fit in my basement). I know others would disagree, but knowing how lighting works, I keep the lights as high as possible in flowering and adjust intensity. The further away from source, the less percentage intensity drop off happens. the best penetration based on the principles of dispersion would happen from maximum height and adjusting intensity to match. a few of the plants ended up with a lot of yellow leaves after flushing and still looked and felt great once the leaves were trimmed (I had never let plants get that bad before). the worst were the last ones with harvest delayed while I was sick, but they still look great. I love the MH3000 and it produced up to 1 ft long colas, which to me is great for a budget LED (got it second hand for $200Cdn). The Bloom plus 2500 did a nice job too, but didnt get the same penetration, confirmed by the par meter. If i did this again, I would use a nutrient system which only had two stages, bloom and veg as opposed to almost weekly changes with the Flora flex system - because of the big difference in flowering time and difficulty in keeping track for this lazy old guy. with the 17 plants (five in the 2 by 4 and 12 in the 4 by 4), it wasnt crowded, but if I had used the 3 by 3 it would have been super tight. This has been my most fun grow yet, and I really like how the plants respond quickly in coco to nutrient adjustments, almost a daily response. I flushed em totally a couple of times during the grow just because. The two violators from different breeders were vastly different but both super trichome covered. The strawberry cough with the beautiful red flowers is the most unique odour, but still untried, and when dry they ended up almost black. included are a few photos that seemd to ne typical. Full harvest talley to come in a few days. thanks for reading. i still have a lot of seeds so I figure I may do this again since i have everything already in place. next grow will be just 3 or 4 plants in my living soil, and will include a couple of CBD for my wife's pain - she is now a believer in CBD and CBG from last summer. Cheers all - I am about to load the plenty for first time in over 2 weeks, and might folow up with some Christmas tequila, also first since Christmas.

Holy word wall, jeebus!
Congrats though, and nice pics!

Incase of interest, the talley for the grow was 560 g of nice bud, and 45 g of sift. I plan on maybe sometime doing an alcohol wash of the lightly sifted trim, but that bin is getting pretty big now. Plants ranged from 20 g to 40 each. Having now tried a bunch of them, all nice so far - i gotta admit i have trouble telling difference between many strains except the distinctive ones. there are seeds in all of them, but not a lot so I guess i got the hermie out with not too much damage. I will be even more dilligent in checking the next batch out. Next / current grow started has a few CBD plants for wife's use - she has found nice pain relief from the last batch of cbd and cbg. Cheers till next time.
