Hey Dragon!!

She's looking great!! Yeah, prally Indica dominant!! She's still stretching though, ey?
Man, look at these stems.. You already know they'll be full of flowers in about 2 months!!!

Cheers!

So we're about 2 weeks into flowering now, and the exiciting part is starting to ramp up...the budsites are forming and trichromes are starting to appear. Two weeks down...at least 7 more to go.

It doesn't look like she's going to stretch as much as I wanted her to....I probably should've let her veg a bit longer than I did. I figured as a sativa dominant strain it would've been more lanky, but instead I ended up with a 3-headed bush


Onto the pics:

@Reku: thanks for the kind words!


Time for another update...

She's about 1/3rd into her flowering time now, not a whole lot to say...so I'll let the pictures do the talking

Nice looking buds you have there. Hope they get fat and frosty for you.

@Maxed Out:
Thanks for the positive thoughts! I'm quite sure they will do just that over the next 3-4 weeks

We're now 35 days into flowering and she's coming along nicely!

As you can see in this update, the first real swelling of the buds has started. You can barely see any stalk in the three tops that poked above the canopy. I've given her a dose of Top Booster this week, so she can focus her remaining time and energy into fattening up. Resin glands shimmer all over the plant now, and even a couple hairs have started to turn. Definitely in the home stretch now...3, maybe 4 weeks till she's done, provided everything stays on track. I'm looking forward to see how she finishes up!

On another note, time to start thinking about what strain to try next, and what tweaks to make for the next run. I have over 15 different strains to pick from, thanks to this past years freebies for Christmas, and my remaining stock. Since I've done mostly sativa dominant strains this last year, I'm leaning towards something indica dominant. I've narrowed it down to either Barney Farm's Blue Cheese, or Reserva Privada's Kosher Kush. I figure I can't go wrong with either choice

Onto the pics!

I'm in! I'd like to see you go with that Blue Cheese. I got a couple on deck after my Lemon Skunks give me a couple clones.

Things are trucking along nicely.

It's been nearly 6 weeks of flowering, and she's starting to look damn good. Pistils are changing color and resin glands are glistening in the light. She should start swelling up again over the next couple of weeks. I'm really looking forward to trying this strain out soon...

Here's what she's looking like these days:

@DonPetro @CoolDudeStuff @Hanky92 Thanks for the kindness!

Just waiting for all those hairs to turn, get sucked back into the calyxes, and swell up some more....most, if not all, trichs are cloudy now.... I'm thinking 2 more weeks if all goes well.

Hmm....at first I thought it was wishful thinking...but I'm starting to think I have a fast-flowering phenotype of this strain. It's only day 47 of flower so far, but I've been seeing all the right signs for closing in on the start of the harvest window fast approaching.

Her tops are looking ripe now. All the hairs have turned, and the pistils have been sucked back into the bracts and swollen up. If this continues down the rest of the branches soon (mid and lower parts are still mostly white pistils)...I'm starting to wonder if she's going to be ready by day 56 or even sooner. HSO's website says she's 9 weeks...Seedfinder lists it between 56-70...

I forgot to mention that the larger older fan leaves are starting to turn yellow and die off as well, that's what really got me thinking this is a fast-flowering strain.

@Hanky92 thanks for the compliments man
@CoolDudeStuff thanks for the +rep!

I'm thinking that I'm going to start giving her plain water after her last mix runs out, maybe even flush her next week. I used Drip Clean this time around, so I don't think a 6 gallon flush is necessary like last time. When I didn't use DC, there was massive salt buildup over time, this time there was none. If things keep progressing like this I'll probably take her down next weekend.
