Transplanted my Chills today and moving into flower this week. How are your girls doing?

Yours are looking great Yankee.
I went on vacation last week and nearly killed mine. My hempy buckets have been lasting about 4 days between feedings and I ended up being gone 6 (1 day longer than planned). When I came back, they were really droopy and the big fan leaves had started yellowing severely. They're bouncing back nicely although I'm going to have to amputate some fan leaf branches I think. I'll take pics and post later this week. The buds are developing nicely. I think this is going to be a big producer! Hopefully I didn't hermie them.

I'm sure they'll bounce back just fine. Wouldn't be the first plants to face a drought!
Just flipped mine yesterday so now it's a waiting game to see if there are any girls in the bunch.

What, you didn't like the baby bud pics???
I'll take a shot of the full plants tomorrow during lights on. Most of the fan leaves died off when they ran out of water/nutes. The rest of the plant is healthy though. Probably 10-12 days or so until the harvest give or take. These are some stinky plants now!!!

Took a few pics this morning. The trichs are not amber but clear. Just a crummy camera.
I'm still sticking with the same feeding regimen. I probably should have upped it a bit when I starved the plants, but wanted to see how it would turn out keeping it as simple as possible throughout the grow. It's a pretty foolproof method, although I almost pooched it by letting the hempys run dry.
Edit - I can't figure out how to remove that thumbnail. Just ignore it.

Thx man. The 2nd pic is the tall one. It's hard to tell from the pics, but the short one has a lot more trichomes. It didn't get hit as hard as the tall one when they ran out of food though.
Madscientist - No, I haven't been using anything other than the Jack's Pro Hydroponic regimen. 1/2tsp per gallon each.

I drilled the Bottaro bottle out the other day and put the bong together. The really cool thing is that I didn't even need an o-ring. The 18mm - 18mm downstem fits perfectly in the hole. It fits so well that water won't leak if I tip the bong the other direction. I'm sure it's delicate that way, but at $8.50 a bottle, I can keep a few spares on hand for if they break.
Anyway, here's the completed bong. It hits like a champ!!!!
Edit - I'm thinking of painting a light layer of Cyanoacrylate around the drilled hole to help prevent cracking/damage. Anybody have any reason not to?

Nice work! I saw a DIY project a while back with these bottles and they seem well suited to the purpose. Where did you source the bottle/wine?

Wine is probably a liberal use of that word. It's pretty putrid stuff. But the bottles can be purchased at Sams Club and I've seen them at liquor stores before too.
