Sensi Star and Diesel Ryder CFL

ok so this is my second grow, first i really shot for quantity and got an ounce of the main plant but was shitty smoke, so i' doing the opposite this time, going for reasonably quick, smaller quality smoke.

I started with 4 diesel ryders and 1 feminized sensi star. got one hermie and one male, both chopped and in my freezer right after pollen started dropping. the other 2 females and the sensi star started in a pc grow case, under a 105w 5000k CFL, started them in dixie cups and fucked them up by not letting them drain, so they got stunted for about a week of growth. this is them on week 3 and a half.

I am using biobizz bio bloom and bio grow, each at 1/3 strength for now, every other watering, and they seem to be loving it. I can already tell i got 2 different ryder phenos, a short bushy one that is going to be one huge cola i can already tell(nearly all the leaves have crystals at less than 2 weeks flowering :)). the other one grows taller with more bud sites. unfortunately i think the stress of the drainage problems caused them to flower a little early which is why they are so tiny, but they already stink so good and leave an amazing smell when touched so im happy

the first is the short diesel, the second is the sensi, the third is the taller diesel

ok so i switched my lights to 12/12 so i can let the sensi star flower. i've heard people growing autoflowers on the 12/12 so i'll keep them on that till i can setup 2 seperate rooms. I was thinking of topping the sensi star, but since it's my only one, and i just started flowering it, i'd rather not stunt it for a week(which i heard happens when topping) anyone have any experience with topping the sensi star?

ok another pick update, first 2 are the sensi star, i started flowering her 2 days ago, she continues to get bigger every day.

the next one is my lanky diesel ryder, this one has plenty of bud sites and they all seem to be progressing pretty nicely, you can see some of the leaves still look funky, i think it was the stress of the transplant, i fucked that one up pretty bad, and spilled the soil everywhere and messed up some of the roots, so it was growing weird looking leaves, but the new growth is back to the normal 3 or 5 pointed leaves.

the last 2 are my short diesel, got a bud pic, and one showing just how tiny she really is, i don't expect to get much off of her, but damn she already smells better than my other plant at 12 weeks flowering, and has nearly as many crystals, so i'm excited :)

here's some updates on my babies. I had to move them with me to my new house, and my father in law was around, so they went 2 days without light, but they didnt seem too mad.

my little one has pretty much reached its full height i think, and looks like it's going to give me just a few grams of some awesome smoke, has more crystals than my first grow at 10 weeks, and this is week 4 of flowering for these babies. shes in the first two.

the next pic is my sensi, shes just showing her first hairs and is doing nice(shes got a little canooing, cuz she got too much water when i had to leave her outside when the father in law was in town, but that has almost totally cleared up)

the last 3 are of the taller diesel ryder, shes just getting her crystals, and has lots of buds sites, though they are still a little small, she has the same canooing issue as the sensi, but all the new growth is fine, though her hairs are turning red really early(apx 3 weeks into flowering) but i guess it's the trichs that matter, and i screw up so many times in this grow, as long as it's good, i dont care how much i get

Here's an update on my babies, i chopped my other diesel, resulted in about an eigth of super primo bud, my sensi star is starting to get close to being ready, checked out the trichs under a scope yesterday and they are about 30% cloudy i'd say and about 10-15% of the hairs are red

ok so i checked them today and decided to do a partial harvest of the middle buds as i wanted to get some with an up high, and let the rest go longer so i have some more with a really couchlock high( though all it takes is two grav rips of some quick dried bud from this plant to put me on my ass) i harvested everything but the cola and the buds right below it and some small popcorn buds, which i expect to be about as much bud as what i cut now, which ended up being 26 grams wet, so im hoping around 6-7 grams dry, but man oh man does it look and smell nice :)
