thcninja She is really taking off! It's amazing how fast cannabis grows when the inputs are maximized.

thcninja She is still growing well. This is the first week with full-strength nutrients. Growth should really begin to explode.

thcninja This is one happy plant! She is getting big and bushy. I hope that I don't run out of space. It's already down to 2 feet free between the top of the plant and the light. Update: Installed netting to tame the vertical growth.

thcninja What a monster plant this has become! It's down to 12" free between the top of the canopy and the grow light. Flowers are off to a nice start.

thcninja Early flowering is going well. It's thick and bushy and full of buds!

thcninja I defoliated the bottom half of the plant. I also topped a few overgrown colas to keep the top of the canopy at least 6" below the light.

thcninja Buds continue to fatten up. The smell is amazing.

thcninja The buds are absolutely enormous! And she still has another 1-2 weeks to go. It's hard to believe these buds could get even bigger but they will. This week was a dramatic shift in nutrients into a finishing blend that includes Dry KoolBloom.

thcninja The leaves on the buds have started to die off and all the trichomes are milky. I'd prefer to see some amber trichomes before finishing the plant but, with the plant beginning to die, there is too much risk of bud rot at this point. I switched the reservoir to a flushing solution of PH'd water with FloraKleen. Will flush for a week and then harvest. Hopefully by then there will be some amber trichomes.

thcninja The yield was way higher than the seed company predicted. It could have been even more had I used a larger tent. My only complaint is that it grew way taller than it was supposed to. But overall it was an easy grow with high disease resistance (not a single spot of mold), a respectable yield, and good potency too. Tipping the scales at 1 pound dry, this was pretty much the limit to what can be produced in a 3x3 tent.
