right on schedule, with only about 2 more weeks? ROFLMAO
hmmm, but seriously though - as I sit here, looking at them - in 2 weeks, they could be ready to flush.
Im hoping for a little more fattening up - before pistils shrivel, then another fattening while the trichomes ripen

is that to much to ask for? I have been good - ish, ok maybe thats the wrong way to ask, how about: They have been good and they deserve it
hydro shop for CALiMAGic?
pulling CALiMAGic off the shelf, I bumped a bottle of Liquid KoolBloom (0-10-10 PK booster)
kismet, sending me a signal?
so - next res change, I know 2 girls getting a little PK boost in their diet
pistils?
white pistils, looks like a 60/40 split between standing tall and getting thick (well, thick for pistils

), and getting ready to stand
last night, I found a couple (on Thing 1) that had started to change color and shrivel - I couldn't find them tonight, when I went looking (was going to snap a picture to timestamp - lol)
sticky?
pulled a cola over, to smell and look at, and it brushed my glasses.
6 teeny little blobs of glue that smeared across my glasses, had to stop and dig out alcohol to clean them off
my glasses haven't been this clean for quite a long time
smells?
it has been a glorious ride of smells (my wife says "all I can smell is pot" LOL)
early on, it was chem. then lemonish was added to that, wasn't like a lemon cleaner - was definitely a chem smell with a more lemony, limish - citrus (not orange) after taste?
then - it changed to pine - all pine, for like a week, then fuel started coming through
and for the last week, or more - it has been warm rubber, not tire rubber - more pleasant than warm elastic bands
enjoyment?
also a glorious ride
it was like a race: get any training - before pistils popped
it was like a strategy game: "do I take this leaf, I already tucked it so many times"
and, as has been mentioned by many: the grow is as therapeutic for me, as the fruit
I have to give a shout out to RQS, they made it easy to enjoy the ride
I know I said it before, but these girls have turned out almost exactly identical.
minor differences are attributed to my ham handed training.
grown outdoors - they would be HUGE.
keep an eye on
alltatup current grow, she has the non automatic version in her garden
run auto's again?
YES
I will definitely be dropping auto seeds again.
would like to run them at 18/6. these girls root development, seemed slower? would like to know if it is because they were autos, or because I ran the lights at 20/4. I read somewhere that plants make roots at night, and conveniently - I have 2 more of these seeds - I almost HAVE to run them as soon as I can. scientific purposes of course

I would also run a 'veg' nute schedule longer than I did. saw pistils and changed nutes
mind
racing,
fingers
itching,
I have seeds,
I have water,
now, I just need...
another light????
cold
