I grew Barney's GZ, and yours look great. Well done. Mine looked good too, but I think yours might even look better. Do you add calmag? How close are your HLGs to the Canopy?

thanks!I add 5ml of calmag per gallon during res changes. I usually try to add some when I top up but with my recent issues with climbing ppm I haven't been doing that. Lights were at 18" from the tallest buds, they've stacked a few inches so it's probably closer to 15 or 16" now. Lights are drawing a combined 471 watts.

Very nice 
Everything is really starting to chunk up in there.

Day 48 update. I think I'm in the home stretch now. They're about 20-30% cloudy with no amber trichomes showing yet. They buds have started swelling, but not a lot has changed from last week. I'm hoping they'll be ready for the weekend of the 9th since I have some spare hands to help with trimming that weekend. They're getting 650ppm and drinking about 3 liters per day. I'm also starting to see early signs of yellowing on a few of the older fan leaves. The smell is offensively strong now. 
The neighbors are definitely going to smell this while we're trimming. The polyploid bud is still putting out leaves and doesn't look like it's going to have any substantial bud on it.
I received my next generation of seeds. I decided to give true north seedbank a try. I placed the order Tuesday and the seeds arrived Friday. Like Amazon for weed seeds.

Wow, beautiful ! You did such an amazing job. She is such an unusual looking lady! That one bud is so pretty with all those frosty fan leaves spread out like a sunflower. I have never seen a top cola do that. Very interesting! She looks super potent. I’m so jealous, I wish I could smoke some of her because she looks like a very special delicacy. I can’t wait to hear the smoke report. The new seeds you got look super elite . Awesome packaging and what stellar shipping so fast.

@BigHornBuds explained to me that it's a polyploid and he's right that it's not really making much bud, just lots of leaves and hairs, should be good for bubble hash tho. It has four bud sites at each node so there's a lot more underneath than on top. I discovered another one on the taller plant. It's much smaller and in a location that's hard to photograph. I was reading an article that said it's a 1 in 100,000 chance that it happens with cannabis. What are the chances I'd get two lol.
I wish it was legal everywhere... I'd love to share what I'm growing. The HSO packaging is sweet. Almost impossible to crush those suckers!
the smallest of my two plants finally started swelling. I was starting to think it was going to be really small dense buds on that plant. They're clouding up quickly now... I would guess 75%. No amber trichomes yet.

Wow you got the cutting edge Polypoid seeds. I did not know what that was so I read up on it. Absolutely fascinating. What seed company was that again?Thank you

Barney's Farm. I got them from Niagara Seed Bank and they came in the breeders pack.

If I'm not mistaken it's a genetic deformation I bet the stalk was also flat like a pancake they talk a bit about on the strain hunters Morocco video. I've had the same thing

The stem on mine was flat like two stems fused together. Here's a picture just after starting flower.

I will have to rewatch the video to get the name of this deformation now its bugging me mine was also flat. I love your plant training btw. I'm going to try mainlining my next grow

Thanks @Brandon137 I'm definitely going to try to spread out the plants a little more before I put the screen on next grow.
Day 54. Looks like they're almost done. Trichomes are almost all cloudy with a few amber trichhomes here and there. I'm planning on chopping next weekend while I have some extra hands here to help. They haven't changed much in the past week, just swelling and the leaves are starting to turn yellow. The stink has gotten a lot stronger and they're consumed almost no nutrients, but still drinking lots of water. I did one last res change yesterday and I'm letting them go this week with straight up 0ppm ro water. I managed to get a pic of the polyploid bud from the largest plant, (last pic) pic isn't that great, it was hard to get my phone in there without getting it covered in sticky.

Still not sure if I'm going to beat 328 grams that I got from the northern lights. The buds are well formed all the way to the screen so I'm hopeful, I don't think it's going to be 1 gram per watt though.
@diggs99 I still have a few of these seeds so I may revisit it in the future. Super easy to grow with no problems at all. I kinda wish I didn't lose two top buds to polyploids but it's not the end of the world. I like to checkout growdiaries.com and see when others harvest. with the zkilttlez it seems most are harvesting between weeks 8 and 9.

thanks @WillieP
Well that was fast. On Monday they had very few amber trichomes, this morning it's probably around 15%. The leaves on the largest plant are starting to yellow quickly now. On the smaller plant some of the buds are starting to show a little bit of purple. I'm still going to let it go until Saturday for the chop.
