They're starting to swell.
I think I'm starting to swell a little too.
It's def starting to crowd up top down. Man, I'm so tempted to overnute... Lol.
Do I even have to tell you how unbelievably strong the smell is?

You don't need to speak how strong they smell. I remember my Tahoe, I was living on the 2nd floor with no filter or masking product. It was stinking up by day 25 and by day 30 I could smell it like 100 feet away outside. I was like shit, shit. I had to buy some ona gels and it worked really good. Whew. I need to buy a filter.

Hey, Cheeze. Where the hell are you? I was just tending to the garden and got some sticky on my hands by accident. It smells like straight up pure OG, bro. Nice cut. Bravo. None of that lemon candy nonsense, just the signature OG smell. Incredible. You and your club should be just as proud as I am.
As the extremely early trichome development suggested, these are gonna give us a real good crystal show.
This is the kind of shit I can like hardly wait to smoke. The crystal coverage reminds me of that Ghost OG. The high on that one was one of the best I've ever grown. These look superior to that cut in every way, so I can just imagine what it's gonna smoke like. Yum.
How will it rate against the Platinum? I think it's gonna have more crystals than this. Here's the Plat in late bloom.
But the real one to beat is the Ghost. Here she is:
The Diablo, as you can see, was rather ho-hom in the trichome department by comparison:
I think these Tahoes are gonna show me something new in crystal development.
Accidentally scraping a top with my wrist, it felt like a rock already. This is where I cut back on the Sensi Bloom A&B and increase the Kushie Kush. This is sort of the AN version of the Koolbloom load I used to do with GH.
Edit:
Hey, Cheeze, not to toot my own horn too much, but if I were your club, I would print these out and hang them on the walls. I really must congratulate you for your fine selection. Cuts don't get any more legit bomb OG than this.

The Tahoe is an exceptional cut. They're not exploding all over the place like the Diablo, but the Diablo isn't a true OG? Right, Cheeze?

I'm glad I photographed the development of this grow every step of the way. I have a detailed visual record that I can refer to. Here is a brief photo montage. Sort of a recap. Ah, the memories...
Hey, remember these, Cheeze? Remember how I wasn't looking and Anton almost ate them? Good save, you two!
Then I had a little ph problem with that cruddy old airstone. But they managed to survive my idiocy and grew somehow.
Keeping the system clean.
And clones become plants!
Behold the power of hydroponic vigor...
And here's how they were right before I flipped to 12/12. Where does the time go?
And wham bam thank you, ma'am. That's how we scrog with two plants.
The screen has worked better than I had hoped. The top colas are even and at a very safe distance from my light. Stretching stopped ages ago.

Beautiful man! I can tell this is going to be one of those "I wish I could have smoked that" harvests of yours lol

This is gonna be one of my best in terms of quality... even if it's not a monster yield, and I don't expect it'll be one of my heaviest harvests...

Looking Awesome LJ! I'm glad that you enjoy the Scrog method and it is working well for you. Beautiful plants!!
As far as prices go. I'm a LONG way from LA or Cali and the prices are $100-$125 a 1/4 or $25 a gram.
So I think you got a great deal if you paid $65 for almost a 1/4 of some goodie.
I started growing my own to save me money on that high priced shit. Keep up the good work!
Oh and no pressure, but I'm seeing how much you pull from two plants and 1000 watts and see how close I can get with my 400 watt and 2-3 plants. I'm still a little ways behind you though and still in mid veg. I know it's not about the quantity as much as the quality, but if you can have both then that's more awesome. Lol!

Looking really frosty Jin! Nice work. Here's my seed start tahoe at day 18 where you can see the beauty of the plant structure and a close-up shot of the top flower (not best quality pic - used camera phone)
- I'm not getting the trich development you did at day 18. Not even close. I'll try a macro shot later tonight....hopefully I'll find some ice somewhere

Re-post of previous explanatory entry:Your plants look amazing Jin! But I must ask, who's the girl?
Yes, I'm a photographer.
The ladies are:
Zinn Star, professional art model and brand new mommy (I'm not the father unfortunately).
Stephy C., Internet modeling sensation and Playboy model.
Cali Logan, Internet modeling sensation and Penthouse model.
Mosh, Internet modeling sensation and all-around fetish queen.
Anton, part time model, full time house pet.

I also have a dazzling amount of light trapped in a small space, and I've gotten pretty good with macro photography. I'm sure you have crystals, I'm just better at exploiting them with a camera... yikes!
She's looking good and strong, btw.

Cali is one of his baddest ! Stephy's pretty mean too .. so here's a couple of my mean bitches.
Got lids for the hydroton to help lower humidity .. A/C is next on tap. Pineapple Express (pic 1); AK 48 (pic 2); the pair (pic 3); Northern lights bent over (pic 4).
Got some of that Serenade stuff to prevent mold/ fungus , etc. Whooooa does that stuff smell .. like some balsamic salad dress'n ! LoL.
They haven't exploded yet .. had to dial ppm back to 200 or under .. I think the mix btwn your set up and AN nutes really amplifies things. Kushes must just streach more than indica's ??

Yeah, yeah. Easy with that Serenade stuff. For babies like that a very light spritzing is all they need. The thing about serenade is this: It stinks and if you give larger plants a good soak, the smell will linger for several days. But one should not worry that this will interfere with the smell of the bud, as it's a product intended for use on rose bushes. That powerful organic smell stays around for a couple of days and fades into this antiseptic after-aroma that eventually fades away completely. That smell hanging around lets you know that the serenade is continuing to work and protect your plants against mold, mildew, and pests. It's really great stuff.
I don't use that harsh splattery spray bottle it comes in. I use a super fine atomizing sprayer I lifted out of my photography stuff. It shoots out a micro fine mist spray and is perfect for plant care.
Your plants look great. And your proactive treatment with Serenade will ensure a mold/mildew free grow. Nice work!

So I've been thinking about possible system upgrades for my next (especially since this scrog thing is working so well). My biggest challenge is controlling temps due to the massive light I have crammed in that tiny box.
This is the Fresca Sol water cooled tube. It requires a massive external res with a 500gph pump constantly circulating 50 gallons of water through that clear water cavity surrounding the bulb. There is some loss of lumens, but the fact that you can keep a 1000w hid 6" from your plants more than makes up for it.
I'm getting it for my next grow.
