Bag Seed Vs. Bought Seed

5 weeks of flower under the belt and I am beginning to see early signs of a dramatic shift! One of my personal critiques on my 1st harvest was that I wasn't capable of getting my leaves to change in color. At the time I had done some research and asked a professional grower friend about flushing my soil if I was growing organic, and at the time he told me that: 1) flushing soil while growing organic was not going to remove all of the nutrients in the soil because of the microbiology, thus making the practice of "flushing" obsolete. 2) I wouldn't get the same type of results visually as flushing in coco and using synthetic nutrients. At the time I took that information at face value but, now that I have made adjustments to my feeding style I am beginning to think this isn't entirely true. Although I completely agree that flushing your medium when growing synthetic is paramount to ensure a better quality smoke, I do believe it is possible to get the "Autumn Color Effect" (A.C.E.) to appear in a soil/organic grow. Essentially, I believe that I may have been miss diagnosing my plants these last couple of weeks, and what I assumed was a deficiency problem is now starting to look more like a natural progression in fade! At first I only noticed the leaf changes at random and on one of the Super Skunks but now I am beginning to see all of the girls show their change in color and its fascinating to watch!! Between the 3X Crazy (bag seed) and the Super Skunk (fem) I am seeing a difference in both color and fading progression. The 3X Crazy leaves tend to lighten slowly and the leaf itself will lighten entirely until it fades to a bright yellow, while the Super Skunks tend to lighten finger to finger and shift more to a golden orange color. The Super Skunks are still taking their time and slowly developing their bud sights, however, they have increased in trichome production and have a VERY sweet smell (almost juicy fruit like)! The smell is very familiar to the plant I grew before but, the scent is much stronger than my last grow so I am excited to see how they finish in the next couple of weeks!!!
