Your plants look awesome dude ! One question though : do you keep your small plants in the same room as the these bad boys with the 12/12 flowering schedule?

Thanks for the nice comment! The room was expanded 9 weeks ago when these started out. Will get better pics of the bucket babies today that shows whats going on behind what I call "murdeers row."

These in buckets were put in at the last minute when soon after I realized the space was expanding... Next grow there will only be 17 plants - Finally room to spread them out. There are two growing in 12 oz. cups that I haven't found time to re-pot yet. *( There are a few more on the other side...

DSCN2651.JPG Flowering Week 10.... 3-5 weeks to go

Do you see anything wrong with this plant?

About 8 years ago I started cutting the middle "finger" out of each leaf for the purpose of letting more light into the plant. I never read this as a tip so I can't quote any research saying it really helps. I used to toss all those leaves - now it goes into my daily 3 CBD drinks.

All strains showing milk white trichomes with zero amber.

At this time all plants have a healthy coat of leaves and are taking water every two days. A few plants are dropping a small amount of leaves. Soil under the house is sandy after 4 inches of clay like soil is removed. Soil medium that was mixed up holds the roots perfect and keeps just enough moisture to keep plants at watering every two days.

From what I see the nutrients/add ons like bat guano - I've been using are doing quite well as far as plant health this late in flowering. Today just now seeing about 2% amber in buds.

A fixed harvest date has been established due to time and need to get all arrangements in order to make harvest happen...
Plants will flower 104 days - They better be done!

Flowering Week 11. Day 76


Plants doing fine - still a long way from home plate. With a mag all strains are still at 98% solid milk colored - no transparency.

Wow. Really nice looking buds! Another 2 weeks?
Going to 104 days - Scheduling issues demand harvest begin on that day... So as of today - 27 more days.
Looking at the bottom pic which is White Widow it's clear to see that plant isn't anywhere close to being done...

I def agree with you on the ww. I See all the white pistil hairs coming out the calyx Still on that one. At the time of writing my old post the white widow was the only one i didnt get a chance to look at it while i was just amazed on how the second one looks. Damn schedule tho huh? Ill be around another 4 weeks for sure!

Is the 3rd pic the afghani?
I was working under green light yesterday to get watering done... In that light some of the strains look very close...

The Afghani is defiantly pic 5. Some seed companies like Sensi say Afghani has a 45 to 55 day flowering period - maybe if its grown at 8,000 feet but no way at 5,000 feet in a 70 degree garden!
I'm tired of growing herb that has a head high - and for the meds we make it has to be strong so they really need to be at least 30% amber.

Pic 3 is the Girl Scout Cookies

Last grow was my first grow of Girl Scout Cookies and White Widow. They were grown to about 80 days as I remember. The Widow had a definite kick over the Girl Scout. Can't wait to see how well all this herb puts a lights out stone on!

I def see longer than 55 days for the afghani for sure. Im at day 53 and i see at least 3 more weeks for me. I just let her grow. I didnt top or lst in veg. So i chopped off the main colas on both of the afghani at day 51, 2 days ago. And lowered my lights. Guna give her til about june 18 to finish the rest. The top on the moster had all the nutes sucked outta the sucker leaves n the trics were still milky tho . Im going for amber on the rest of the plant. But i have 2 other ones to flower after the 18th. I posted pics on my thread.

When any strain is showing 30% amber it's time to chop in my book. The reason I was hoping to take them to 40% amber was in hopes it would make our salve, tinctures, and oil stronger medicine. I'm edgy about 40% - Gotta take it around 24 more days due to scheduling - Hoping for at least 30% by then...

Flowering Week 12

Glad there are another three weeks to go. All strains still in milk land - very little amber even on the Afghani which has a short flower time. The names of pics are correct this week...
Plants still holding 99% of their leaves.

One of the Girl Scout Cookies is turning out bananas - I've had them 5 years ago - They never turn out viable enough to do any damage to the mother room which is right next to the flower room. Pic below shows a naner on the lower bud.

Flowering week 13

Introducing AN "Overdrive" for the last ten days before 10 days of flush. Currently in need of 4 oz. of any bud to make CBD drink for a cancer patient on chemo and another person who needs relief from COPD from CBD's I've read the CBD's are good for making more oxygen to breath... Going to make up a large CBD concentrate to freeze for next weeks medical needs.

Plants now showing about 10% amber trichomes. Two weeks to go...

Flowering week 14

Last 10 days -
Six years ago I purchased 6 gallons of Final Phase from AN. Not here to say flush or don't flush - I don't give a rats ass if you flush or not - If you're happy with your product then keep on keeping on...

Began flush last ten days.

The recipe for nutrients held up fantastically!


The addition 2K more light made a huge difference in cola and bud size - closer to outdoor grows.

Another difference is frost amount. The Northern Lights look so freaking nice being frosted up.

I turned off the water cooler because the humidity was up to 87. Came back to water after 3 days to find the plants took a little too much heat. Water cooler back on while dealing with current heat wave...

I wasn't noticing that your plants all show thin layers of dust on the leaves and buds, do you wash your leaves before your CBD drinks you make? Just a suggestion, I would make sure they are just to ensure your health and minimized containments from the grow room/materials

My wife is a retired nurse so one would think we would be rinsing them off... Being they have never been sprayed with any pesticides etc. Thank you for catching that! Today I'm chopping all plants in buckets because they will be used for salve... 98 days today... only day to have time before harvest of in ground plants.
