plants look really nice...i think you could easily get 3oz of each plant. those buds will also fatten up.

3oz/plant would be a sick yield, i cant wait for them to get plump. they already stink a little bit, plus i can see trichomes starting to crystallize the plants up. i gave them a fat dose of nutes last night, some of the leaves curled under..prolly shoulda gone easy on the kool blooms, last night i gave them:
2tbsp/gallon of pure blend pro bloom
2tbsp/gallon of liquid karma
2tbsp/gallon of diamond nectar (little less)
2tbsp/gallon of kool blooms (little less, more like 8tbs in 5 gallons)
1tbsp/gallon of unsulphered organic molasses
i wanted to foliar feed, but i think its getting too late to mist. natmoon is skeptical too, anyone else have any opinions on misting this late? maybe i should spray 1 plant with liquid karma just to test.

yea there's no way id ever do that.. ppl recommended bushmaster at day 4 when the stretching began, im not interested in things that slow growth. im about to take them out of the dark cycle in an hour, i cant wait to see how they look after being blasted with nutes + new nutes.
Can't wait to see new pics.

heres an update! day 41!! theyre so thick and gorgeous! they should be done by day 60, ill put up a new thread later.
a few days ago, it snowed here and it got so cold there were like 20 power surges in a 3 hour span. even though i have plenty of surge protectors, my bulb blew after the first surge - prolly cus its not Hortilux haha, but fortunately i had saved my receipt so the guys at my local hydroponics store gave me a free bulb! saved me $70 bucks, very cool deal. the only bad side was my plants had to be under about 70watts of CFLs for a whole night - no big deal though, i think it stunted them for like 1 or 2 days but now theyre puffin out again. i cant get over how crystallized they are, i plan to yield 3oz/plant easily, these buds are thick.

MMMMMMMMMMM GOOOOO! looks fantastic man. i think u will have no trouble getting 3 oz per plant. those are some pretty even sized colas on every plant. well done my friend. well done.

thanks bro! im very pleased too, im glad to hear you confirm the potential for my 3oz/plant quota - they're about to blow up since theyre starting the last 2 weeks.
i had an unusual thing happen this morning though, so far theyve been on a strict 12/12 schedule - but this morning i accidentily gave them about 25 minutes of extra light. you see, i use a separate dark room since i use my bathroom for the light cycle and need to be able to use my bathroom - also the bathroom has vents directly above the light/plants so they get perfect ventilation with my two oscillating and box fans. but anyway, my growbuddy/grow-teacher had this happen to him and nothing bad happened - although we were both worried they might potentially hermie. fortunately, he was growing atleast 10 strains and im pretty sure none of them hermied.
i think its plausible that sometimes outdoors the sunset can vary by 10-20 mins, and even if it doesnt vary by that much i still think my plants will be okay. i always say that if its over 30 minutes then it stands a chance of hermying, but im pretty certain in this case all will be well. should i take them out at 11:25 (instead of 11) or just reset the schedule? any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

looks great! I've had ago with ppp and it to ended up at similar heights to yours, must be the geneticsas i didn't veg for half your time

yea the ppp genetics have tall traits and such. ive found that if you veg them to 5 feet tall, they wont stretch more than a foot or so for flowering - as opposed to doubling (or even trippling) in size when you flower them when they're smaller. from now on, ill be doing smaller plants so i can fit more - these giants can be a bitch to maintain, but they yield soooo much!

I'd be fucking surprised if you didn't pull 4 oz a plant there. But shit...why didn't I think of moving my plants. I could be using my one light to flower double the amount of plants if I just left it on 24/7 and switched set one of plants to a dark area for 12 hours while putting set two under the light...hmmmm
Question though...you say you're using fox farms ocean forest and light warrior...that's what I'm using this time around as well. Last time I did a hydro ebb and flow and it worked pretty well, but I like not having to clean tubes and hydroton so I went soilless this time. Anyways, you're saying you only feed them nutes once a week? Water the other days? Maybe I'm fucked up because I've been feeding them nutes every feeding (which is every 2-3 days)

nice grow chron i bet youll get 3.5 oz easy i had 1 3 foot plant with 250w of cfl and got 50 grams just under 2 oz dried so with that hps id say you could get at least 3.5 oz per plant

i would shit myself with happyness if i yielded a lb (4 plants x 4 oz), its definately possible!
as for nuting, i basically wait til they get nice an dry and then blast them with nutes, then wait til they get dry (2-3 days), then give them about 2 cups of water - which isnt much at all (especially for 7gal containers), they get dry again after about 1-2 days and then i nute them again. i give them a lil bit of water inbetween just to be cautious of nutelock, but i guess you cant really give them too much organic stuff. ill prolly feed them nutes everytime they get dry now that im in the last 2 weeks.
