Posting pics would definitely help. If I were you, I would search those strains and compare your plants with others that have grown them. You should be able to tell once it start to develop its "true" leaves.
Will do whenever I can find my camera cord. They have their true leaves, they are in flowering. I just don't know enough yet to identify them by sight. That's one rookie mistake I'll remember from now on, believe me.

bird, lovely set of pics in your last update!! plant is looking really nice, healthy, frosty, hairy, etc etc. just keep up whatever you're doing. them buds still have a lot of fattening up to do. like someone else said, if you get a chance to take a pic of the big bud next to a bic lighter or coke can, just so you can compare between now and two weeks from now... you'll be surprised!! anyway, looking real good bro, not much longer now!

Thanks Homer! I was actually able to find that high times magazine so now I have brag rights lol :) I will be updating later today again and will take some of those pictures so you guys can get a idea of how big they really are. I was going to up the nutes these last couple weeks but since my regiment has been working so well I think I am not going to fuck with them. Don't want to screw up everything the last couple weeks.

Are you using any molasses these last couple weeks?
Nope just my line of nutes. Last 2 weeks of flower will be plain water. Starting next monday she will get 4 more waterings of pure rain water before she's harvested. Still not sure about flushing and/or drowning.

look forward to those comparison pics!! 2 weeks of plain water basically amounts to a slow flush, in my opinion, so i think that's a good idea. also, molasses won't hurt if you choose to add some (1 tablespoon to 1 gallon of water, but note that it brings ph down by about 1 point). definitely looking forward to your harvest bird!

You are looking more forward to it then me. This whole experience has been great but now getting down to the wire I'm starting to get nervous. It seems like the whole harvesting part is starting to psych me out. lol I don't want to ruin my hard work with just the drying ha ha

Thanks man. Those threads helped me get a better idea of what I should be doing. I will take a look at your girls when I get a chance today. I guess I just gotta stay confident and do what I've read. Only 2 1/2 weeks and she should be done. Stay tuned!

Hey Bird, I can't tell from the pictures, are those lights pretty close to the top of the plant? It seems like the lower parts of your plants are being shaded by the top of the plant.

I will take some more pictures Friday. I have the 55w, 42w and a 26w (6500k for spectrum) above the plant focusing on the top cola. Then I have a 42w and 26w about 2 1/2 inches above them. When I take my pictures I usually pull her out of the cab so that could be why you see shade.

Oh ok, ya it must be because you pull it out of the cab. Did you mean 3000k spectrum on the top cola?

All of the lights in my cab are 2700k except for the one 26w which is 6500k. Hanging at the top of my cab are the 55w (2700k), 42w (2700k) and 26w (6500k).

Great emoticon.
Also monster cola!
Can't wait for mine to turn out like this (fingers crossed)
Do you have any plans for your next grow? Assuming there is one?
