Day 50 Critical Jack
I'll probably start flushing within a weeks time I figure, I will harvest somewhere between 65-70 days I would imagine, I have never grown this so I don't really know but I never go by the times stated from the seedbanks. I haven't seen any amber trichomes or anything yet but haven't been looking hard either just assuming I won't find any. I'll start reducing nutes soon but probably not stop completely just get the ppm's down really low and at the end just use a sweetener. Might do straight water for very last few days but not right away.

Do you always run 24/0 when you are vegging your plants? do you notice differences at other intervals?

I have been running 24 hours pretty much always but I am thinking on cutting back to 20/4 or 18/6 as my electric bill is stupid compared to probably where it needs to be for similar results. It's more an issue of not feeling like setting up a timer because I don't have a spare one handy at the moment. My MH has been (lately) set to 50% power though so only 300W but was thinking about cranking it back up to 100% and throw it on a timer.
My cloning and vegging has been kind of weak lately, I think I am slacking off as I don't have any plants near ready to be flowered yet and was trying to keep up a perpetual grow I could harvest at least 2 plants a month. I am nowhere close to being able to do anything like that at the moment because I want more veg time. I guess I need to quit slacking off.

yeah, i bet the electric cost are very high, and just 20/4 will save you money
thats great on the dimmable ballast, im setting my 600w grow up 4x4x6.5 and im going to veg to flower in there and I'm sold on dimmable now

Well damn, it's day 53 and I am seeing several amber trichomes here and there, not a ton but definitely noticing some. I started flushing yesterday but put a 600ppm solution of nutes back in the bucket then checked them under the scope -- I wonder if I should switch back again and put the Florakleen bucket back in action or let it feed throughout the day and switch it back later. I thought I'd give it a last little feeding but now that I am seeing amber trichomes I am wondering if I'm just a few days away.
I'll move it out from under the HPS and snap some bud shots to get some opinions.

I am probably going to try revegging this plant (ha) unless I can find any usable branches to take clones and just cut the buds off because none of my CJ clones were successful (did not have a dome, heatmat, good starter plugs, nothing, It was too cold and such) but now I have all of the proper equipment just that I am at the end of flower so hoping maybe I can reveg even if it's just enough to take several clones then from there keep this strain with me. Also think my El Alquamista is probably read for a starter plug as well. Excited about that one.

Just took a bunch of clones, I had two Cluster Bomb clones growing in DWC but they were growing very weird and crappy so I cut them up to make a few clones each to hopefully see if that helps (if not they're gone) also pulled a few clones of the CJ this late into flower but am hoping they do fine plus got some more AMS and the El Alquamista is germinated. They are all under my Metal Halide which I know is probably crazy but I have it turned down to 50% and in part it's to help keep my temps up because my space is kind of cold for cloning.
Might just put a Fluorescent up in place of the MH until I get some veg growth though.

I now have A/C running 24/7 which gets me down to 62 degrees lights out. I am trying to mimic fall/cold temps to bring out a little color and maybe help maturation. I have florakleen in my bucket again not sure how long I'll go without switching back to the bucket w/ nutrients. It's now diluted to about 400ppm with a slight push toward extra koolbloom (not diluted like everything else as much) and sweetener. I am kind of experimenting w/ flush/feeding rotation and lowering ppm's as I go just for kicks because I don't want to completely starve them.
I could probably be feeding at 1500ppm right now if I wanted lol.
Here's a Day 54 shot w/ flash.

Waiting to chop is just killing me, I think they're getting close but I want to push them to the limit on time without going too amber... I just have a few traces of ambers still but I think they're definitely getting denser... only feeding about 360ppm right now.

Just changed nutes leaving out the Micro and used FloraBloom, Dry KB, Floralicious Plus and FloraNectar coming out to 399ppm (normal dose on Nectar / Dry KB, lower doses on others) I am wanting to test the theory of not flushing and I think at such a low feeding (compared to the 1200ppm I averaged) this should still get the plant to work heavily on reserves without totally crushing it's vitality (talking out my ass lol)
