very nice, im thinking about growing this strain outdoors, have u had any problems?

update:

about 6 weeks into flowering, heres what it looks like now...

lol. theyre hidden in the soil most of the time. i really only see them when i water the plant.

other suggestions?

i honestly wish i cud tell u... bugs ate my crop when they were little wee ones.... but damn those plants are beasts! gl bro

another update: bud swelling has slowed down, more focused on trichome production now. is there any way to get the side buds to grow larger?








and i still have the white bugs in my soil and dont know how to get rid of them.

im not sure.. ive heard sand stops them from laying eggs... or fox farm dont bug me spray

update: flushed the plant yesterday, it's probably in its last week of flowering.

also i cut off a small bud near the bottom yesterday just for an early taste. dried throughout the day and took some pics







anyone have any input as to when this will be ready for harvest?

cut off another lower bud last night. trimmed it and let it dry over night. here it is now:







and this last pic is with the bud that was cut a few days ago and is pretty dried.



probably going to give the plant another 2 weeks before harvesting. not sure whether i should nute it or not.
