awesome.....thanks!.....so do you consider this to be week 1 or 2 overall?.......i'm about in the middle of the first week, but happy to report that everything is flowering.....finally....the end is in sight.......i have just heavily top-dressed my girls with a mix of Tomato Tone (epsoma) 3-6-4.....guano, and ewc........watered in with ewc tea + comfrey and kelp.....really getting excited......bought a new air pump...smaller than yours, but is still kicking ass...the tea is flowing big!......next week i will start pruning/juicing understories....things are looking killer........whats your thoughts on kelp? can it be easily over used?.......i only use about a 1/2 cup per 10 gal......
i use liquid kelp tea and used heavily on my girls never done anything but good so far not sure if kelp meal would be any different!!

kelp meal has been heat treated so it looses some of its value. Best stick to liquids for teas.

Ahhhhhhh I'm fucking in love with Qleaner, first year I did it outdoors I had a very Jack's Cleaner dom. pheno. Huge sphere shaped colas that wreaked of lemony piney goodness. This was the stickiest plant I have ever trimmed yet.

Then last year I had a more Querkle indica dom. pheno that was huge! Very good yielder and the buds started turning purple right before harvest. Not as lemony and definitely not as sticky as the other pheno but the smoke was still awesome and the taste had hints of Banana, pretty sure it was this pheno.


Pic above taken from this thread, it talks about the Banana (and also purple colored) pheno.

which pheno is better smoke? did u keep both?
At the time I grew both of those I did not have a veg set up so I didn't keep either, I was still more interested in growing as many different strain every year as possible.

In my view from a smoking stand point the Jacks dom. blows the other out of the water, very sativa potent daytime smoke. The other pheno does taste good but lacks the "kick" that the more Jack's dom has.

From a yield and growing stand point I love the more indica dom. it grows fast, (but not as fast as the Jack dom) yields above average, and it turns purple which is fucking awesome.

Forgot to mention, Qleaner has also been the easiest strain to clone that I've grown so far.
