So I'm around the mid point in the flower cycle and things are looking good. I was worried that all the cutting I've done would produce popcorn buds but they do seem to be filling out nicely. I think I hurt the baby early on by snapping 2 stems, after that and with all the defoliating I did the leaves never seemed to get that big, which I think has a relation to the size of the buds that get produced. I have added co2, I don't know if it will improve anything at this stage of flowering but it certainly won't do any harm.
@Larimar, Actually after looking back at my calendar they were germinated on 31st of may, so at the time of taking the pictures they are about 10 days old. The soil is recycled also and will undoubtedly have some left over nutrients which does help with early growth. On my last grow I used recycled soil and had a skywalker kush and a shining silver haze and they seemed to just explode in growth very early on.
@Larimar, Indeed she is growing fast. I have 2 Amnesia and a Bubble Kush germinated at the same time and they are half the size of the Royal Gorilla. I've added a pic so you can see the comparison.
@Darkgreenkid, I did do some hash oil with the trim and it is potent. Bud is still drying at the moment, I will update in a couple of days when I roll a big fat blunt with it :)
What a grow ! Well done man !
I see you are getting a few two-toned leaves, thats so beautiful !
One thing that made my life easier ,though not sure if you would find it useful, but I have pierced small hole on the rim of my pots and I just tie my plant ties in there, it made it easier for me when i needed to readjust the colas.
Anyway keep up the great work !
