So far so good. A little too good I think. I'm starting to get paranoid that something catastrophic is going to happen and everything's going to die.

Cheese is doing outstanding, skunk is fattening up, but the kush are still being little pansies. Hopefully they'll catch up.

Here's a few close ups I got of the cheese by putting a jewelers lens in front of my camera lens. Kinda works....hard to get anything that looks half decent. I'll post some more when I get better at it.

Day 41 flower:

Everything is coming along well I suppose. Had a hit and run hermie attack the other day though. During the second day of using H&G top booster, my res was a little low and the tds went from 1140 to 1650 in twelve hours. I sleep through the last the last half of the photo-period so I didn't catch it. The next day I noticed some pollen sacks sprouting out of the top of some of the cheese buds. What was strange is that they only popped out the buds that started growing into a crown shape instead of a point. I would just find a single sack forming in the center of the "crown".

The pollen sacks didn't have any thc on them at all so they stood out against the bling pretty well. I did my best to pull all the sacks out without releasing pollen. Do they even have pollen at that stage of development? Pretty sure I got everything, looked for hours and they were only in the center of those crown buds.....weird.....no more have popped up in the past few days. The tds spike is the only thing I can think of to account for the sudden appearance of pods. Maybe the cheese are sensitive to top booster? It contains a lot of phosphorus and potassium and gives the plant the impression that the final phase of its life cycle has begun. Input would be greatly appreciated.

Other than the hermies, the cheese are still doing awesome and still growing fast.

Skunk berry is doing pretty good. Looks like it should yield well.

The vanilla kush are being little bastards as usual. They just keep gradually stretching so they'll be a little higher above the screen than I would like. I don't know what I'm doing though so maybe they'll do better as is.

real exodus cheese wont ever herm on you, weve all tried allsorts to make it and it just wont. its the genetics, its stable 100% the crosses from bigbudhha and the like are not the case. dont mean to be the harbinger of doom or owt its just how it is. your shizzle still looks top fizzle man!

great grow man. the diagram of scrog weave pattern helps me out aloot.i didnt consider my weave pattern before i read this. also a question if u know, is it possible for sudden changes in temps to cause hermies/?

I'm definitely not the seasoned vet to be giving out concrete advise, but from what I understand.....any stress can cause a plant to hermie, so if your temps are out of wack then sure. As for big day/night temp swings that are still within safe parameters, I don't know. I know that plants love consistency, so a sudden swing in any environmental factor will cause some stress, enough to hermie...probably not. Genetics also play a role in temp. tolerances. Indicas like it a little cooler and sativas the opposite.

Good luck with your grow and remember that scrog is all about timing when you switch to 12/12. How much will my plants stretch is the question. IMO it would be best to error on the side of being just a little too crowded since you can always cut stuff out.(which also causes some stress, obviously)

Hey man, haven't checked in awhile, lookin good, you got an idea about how much longer til you chop em? I'm having over crowding issues with mine right now. But I wanted to also ask, do u have some decent size colas going on? don't get me wrong they look great but from the pictures it seems like their short and fat buds. my other question is, when you started flowering them how long did you keep pulling them under or did you just let them go for the most part?
