The goal of this "experiment" was just to see what kind of problems I'd run into using such a large pot, and to see how many main colas I could get without topping. I'm suprised with the results, I've had less drainage/ph issues with this pot than I normally have with 3gal pots, and she grew 10 colas on her own with a little LST. Next time around I'll grow out a BK mom and take clones for SOG

hey man i was looking at you fed schedule and i saw that you use epsom salt. if you dont mind me asking what do it do for your plant.

Well the main reason I use it is because my organic nutes are pretty low in magnesium. Epsom salt is pure magnesium sulfate, I was scared to try it at first but alot of other growers use it here on the forums so I gave it a try and I've used it ever since.
"Magnesium helps form chlorophyll in plants and is essential for photosynthesis. Sulfur helps activate plant proteins and enzymes needed for growth. It helps plants resist the cold, assists in root production and seed growth. Sulfur is often delivered to plants in the form of rainwater."
Thats the best quote I could find, I'm not very good at explaining lol

06/07/10 (Week 3 flower): She's exactly 2 months old from seed today, the leaves are starting to lose some of their deep green color and there's already lots of trichs starting to form near the tops. I would take close-up pics but my camera sucks 
I'm getting a new one soon, hopefully before I harvest. One of the colas in the center isn't producing much so I'm thinking of cutting it to allow more light to hit the rest of the branches, but I'll wait another week to see if it catches up with the rest.

what up majek?! I boiled 1/2 teasp of epsom salt per gallon and watered my girl with it. Today she is happier than she has been in a looong time! I had a feeling there was a mg lockout or something. I have a new grow going on and i was wondering at what age would you start giving your plants epsom? Dude your baby looks scrumdiddlyumptious

Majek, plants are coming together nicely. What kind of water do you use?
Edit: And Epsom salt replaces the need to use Cal-Mag correct? I'm running FF nutrients, which are all low in magnesium. I use tap water and Botanicare Cal-Mag, but I've read that Cal-Mag is mostly for RO water.

i see what you mean by alot of stress lol. just hang in there, if nothing else you learned alot during the grow, trial and error is the best way to learn
how is your LST'd plant doing?

Yeah it's basically the same stuff, but cal-mag has calcium and nitrogen added, I would use it but I'm cheap =x

06/14 (Week 4 flower): After looking back at the pics, I decided to cut 2 of the main branches that were producing poorly and blocking light from hitting the other branches. 7 main colas remain 
I also did some lollipopping and trimmed about 1/3 of the lower growth. The buds are still pretty immature, they should pack on alot of weight in the next 3 weeks
3 1/2 weeks left, more updates coming soon...
