66 Days Old, and 38 Days Since First Pistil

She's still going, and seems to be packing some weight now. You can feel the weight of the buds when you lift up on them a bit.
You can see the little branch that is slowly dying.
This grow was a spur of the moment thing so I'm happy with it.
I don't know how much longer she has.

Some colas are pretty close to the same size as the main cola.

That girl is looking PHAT! Looks like some tasty bud too. Can't wait to see her start to turn that beautiful amber color we all know and love.

She's got a nice smell too:), but not strong enough to really notice outside of the tent.
I hope she taste good in the vaporizer. lol

I just ordered some Advanced nutrients PH Perfect, Micro, Grow, and Bloom. I get 40 g's of Bud Blood, 40 g's Big Bud, and 40 g's Carbo Overload free.

I noticed a couple sugar leaves have a purple patch. She might have got cold the other night because I left the window open, and it was freezing when I woke up. It could be phosphorous def too, but I just fed her.
I'll post a pic later on.

It's well known. Polish people tied to weed definately increases yield. It's all the Co2 they exhale trying to drag the pots around.

Nice one man.
I started mine about a week later than you, and she only has 100w still, I vegged for 30 days, but the buds are nowhere near yours!dec31pic6_zps896c27a9.jpg

Thanks man :)
Nice little set up you got there. How long ago did she show sex?
Mine started flowering at 28 days. I went to 12/12 at 25 days.
Good luck with the rest of the grow.

Nice looking buds there:)
They will get a lot bigger in the next 2-3 weeks. That's what I read anyway. lol
My plant may finish sooner than I think. I don't know really.

I ordered a jewlers loupe, so I should be able to check the trichomes soon.

I got six more of the same strain seeds :) I have 3 other bag seed of really good stuff I had too.
I plan to order some C99 seeds soon. I really want to try it.

i bought a 60-100x scope at radio shack. for 12$, my trichomes are clear, some milky looking on the head, and some turning brown. its like everything in one that i have read?!?! kinda lost but my nugs look so compacted. so i really don't know how much longer, it was a random seed it wasn't really even all that great (as in the look of the bud), but man compared to the bag i had to this plant. is 100times better. the smell stays in my closet and doesn't leave my room. i have nug jars in my room anyway so it smells like it already :D

so i figured every 2-4 days i would check it, i stopped adding any furtz, going to flush it next Tuesday. I really haven't even been using any ferts i did maybe 8 1 cup through out the whole flowering. but Ive used distilled water. sometimes with a light mix of hydrogen peroxide. but mainly just distilled water, i probably used 7 gallons of distilled water. once my phone charges up ill take a current picture and try n get a close up one of the nugs

Ah also mine showed sex about 5 days into flowering.

I know you should go by the trichomes, and you still have a lot of white pistils. I have no clue how long it takes most of the trichomes to go from clear to amber.
I have to check into that soon I guess. lol It may take long enough for those buds to double up :)
I feed every water, and have over fed for sure, but she liked it I think.

Thanks!
I'm at 265 watts right now.

I'll definitely report on the weight :)

I may harvest just the ripe buds first, not sure though.
