Big Bud/White Rhino Grow - Aeroponics Grow

today my 2' x 4 bulb T5 fixture and lamps arrived. This is the last piece of my garden equipment. Currently, I have 3 varieties I am growing: Big Bud; White Rhino; and Mother's Finest. The Big Bud is ready to flower. The White Rhino will be ready to clone in 2-3 weeks. I need to sex the 3 Mother's Finest seedlings I have.

have you grown big bud before? I have heard many bad things about it and many good things as well. If not, then I guess we will find out just how stank it is soon enough.
 
I have, this is round 3. Check out the grow with the links below. It was an awesome smoke and I got over 160g from one plant.

These are 2 of the 3 big collas. These pics are 19 days before harvest. The collas in these pics were almost 18 inches when they were cut. :joint:

Here are today's pics. This is day 3 flowering. I trained the main colas down to the screen. I also trimmed some of the lower branches that are about to lose their light as the canopy above closes up.

Well, here is the end of grow number two. The grow had heat issues. We tried to grow sativa and indica in the same space, with the same amount of veg time. It was a great learning experience. We have some pretty good weight off of the four plants. They smell great and I can't wait to dry them out and smoke it.

We cut down the 4 White Rhino today. Here are some pics. We flowered them for around 60 days. Based on the last harvest, I am guesstimating we have around 400 grams. Let's see how close my guess is.

Today was the third time I trained the plants down to the screen in the last 3 days. I counted over 50 bud sites. The main colas are trained down. The bud sites around the main colas are getting big. The lowest branches are long and slender. I am supporting the longest branches with dowel rods. I can lift them closer to the light and they just grow faster.

I changed nutrient solution tonight. I usually make up 15 gallons and flush the whole tank. The res holds around 13 gallons. The roots were so thick tonight that when I changed the res, it only took about 9 gallons of solution. That means the root mass has displaced 30% of the res capacity. This is wild.

Here are some pics to show you how these girls like to grow. The first two are from June 25th . The last three are from July 9th. Two weeks of growth (8 veg, 6 flower)

kickass, try not to break any stems. If you do break some you will probably end up accidentally super cropping them. This will induce serious stress, so watch out for hermies. In the end it will be a good thing thou.
 
I already know they are hermies. I started 10 seeds on my first grow and this is the only plant that made it. I have some seeds started from my first grow when my hermie BigBud self pollinated. I am hoping to get a female from one of those seeds.

Things are coming along pretty well. The bud sites on the screen are starting to fill out.
