1. She is chugging along. Buds are still developing. Pistils are starting to turn orange, and trichomes are starting to really form. She is starting to get frosty!
2. The branch that I almost snapped in half has completely recovered. There is a nice green knuckle there now.
3. She is about half way through flowering I would imagine. I will stop using Recharge and switch to plain water on non-feed days. I might feed w/Cal-Mag. I'll see how she is doing.
4. I switched out Demeter's Destiny for Sensei Cal-Mag Xtra. I wanted to stay with the AN line as it has Magnesium, Iron and some trace elements that could be beneficial. Demeter's Destiny is straight Calcium.
5. I noticed that AN's Cal/Mag really drops the pH. I would think it would raise it because of the Calcium. Irregardless, I had to add pH up to my feeding formula to get the pH up to 6.2.
Hey Quexos, I didn't have much time for GD last couple of months, I've started to post a bit again, then I saw this monster that you're growing now, looks very healthy as always, and her bud formation is really something to talk about,
week 3 of flowering... looks like this one is going to give you massive harvest
@TreeTent310, This Thursday will be 2 weeks at 12/12. I think I will see real buds any day now. She is easily the gem of my current grow in that tent.
I removed 1 of the bagseeds from the tent. It was tall and was going to end up a waste of space. I might remove another 1 too. The 3x3 tent is really a 2-4 plant tent. 5 is too many.
Looking good man!! Ill be growing photos for the first time when i come back home from vacation in september. Cant wait to try mainlining, hopefully they'll look as beautiful as yours :D
@ArucambaAutoflowers297, Thanks! This article will get you started. The website is really good. They have great info and tutorials.

@Quexos, cross of fire og (san Fernando valley og kush & og kush) and the white (aka triangle) per leafly😉 - u ever wanna shoot the shit on genetic backgrounds I can go all day👊
@Quexos, cheers dude, that’s very appreciated. And yeah, I’m not sure how much stock I put in the standings after the 10th spot. They may not even bother with rankings after winners cuz I saw some that seemed well worthy of higher standing (at least a couple that could’ve/should’ve had a spot in the winners circle IMHO). End of the day - 130 diaries a month now and the competition just gets better and better. That’s pretty cool to see. 👍 thanks again dude👊
@TheBudWhisperer, You are producing some killer plants. You deserved it!
They didn't like my Dark Devil apparently. I was really low in the standings. Oh well.
@Quexos, too many variables to pin a growth pattern on only one part of the genetic. End of the day and imo - anything grown from seed will naturally have variation. U still have like a 10-14 day window at harvest too so lots of time to pick and choose a perfect spot👍
@TheBudWhisperer, It might be sooner. I'm checking trichomes, and looking at the fullness of the buds. This plant is probably a little ahead of the others in the tent. Do you think it's the kush in this strain?
Dude, you’ve outdone yourself on this one👌. Look at the frost on er! It’s absolutely, ridiculously awesome. I wouldn’t even care about yield for er - no matter what this looks like it’s gonna be some top shelf bud bro!👍😎😳💪
@TheBudWhisperer, Thanks! I kinda feel that way about all the plants in the photo tent. This strain is easily the winner, but I have this Sativa hybrid that produced round buds! They look like golf balls and bigger! The Blue Dream was a real surprise. Even the other mystery seeds are nice and frosty. Did you see my Dark Devil grow? It came out really good. I'll post my Royal Creamatic and Amnesia Haze harvest this week.
@GreenHouseLab, Thanks! It does seem that way. I think its a bit early, but I'm not the plant!
I've started checking trichomes. They are pretty clear. The sugar leaves have been frosting up quite a bit.
This strain has some Kush in it. I don't know if Kush strains finish earlier or not.
@TheBudWhisperer, She's cruising right along. The buds will be nice when she is finished. The Blue Dream is looking good too. However, only 1 of the bagseeds is any good, but its too late to get rid of them now. At least now I know the limits of my tent and how to grow in the winter.
@ArucambaAutoflowers297,
Thanks! Since the plant can't talk, I'll take credit. 😇This plant is really kicking into overdrive! I did a huge defoliation on Saturday. I just finished checking my plants. You'd think I hadn't ever touched her!
@TheBudWhisperer, Fair enough!!!!
All of the plants breezed through the manifolding process. There are a few of the bagseed that look a little weak, but we shall see when it comes time to flower.
I have my new tent ready to run. I have the 260w QB lights running in a 4x4 tent. I put 4 auto seeds in water. I should have the grow posted in a week or so. The lights are freakin' blinding!
@The_Projexx, Thanks! I'm not sure this is a female, but I really like the strain when I smoked it. The budtenders at the dispensary were psyched that I was growing it.
@Quexos, ahh yes, scissor finger is what ur referring to I assume. If ever I start complaining about the blisters my wife appropriately tells me to suck it up! Lol
@Quexos, definitely - as a very broad, general rule of thumb that sounds spot on for sure. For my part, I tend to chop after I’m getting about 5% amber - sorta ensures I’m not getting anything too racey and still getting that true high of the strain. Most of the time I need my weed chill so this tends to work well. 👍
Nice! Will follow! Check my crit. Kush grow if u want a comparative dude. I’ve got this one on a mainline as well and just finished the preflower defo of the lower larf nodes. It hurts to do it but it does work to push the growth focus higher up into the canopy👍😎👊. Let me know if ya wanna chat on it ever. I have the same apprehension every time i defo for any grow method! lol
