Alright so I decided to re-enter my blackberry kush from last month, she is looking amazing and I had to share her for the contest. Out of all 6 plants (5 strains) she is the only one that was PM resistant, grew with absolutely no problems and smells incredible...like fruit punch/grape berries and flowers very very fragrent Right now she is on day 69 of flowering and the trichomes are about 10% amber at this time so within the next 2 weeks she should be coming down

Enjoy!!!

 

[ConqueringLOJ]

Hey guys, Beautiful entries so far!! Mmm MMm MMM!!! I guess I'll throw my hat into the mix as well..

This is one of a few Maui Waui plants I've got going at the moment. This one is the tallest, and has a big bouquet of frosty and heavy colas all over her. Her scent is very strong and smells really sweet like raw sugar. I will be harvesting this plant and 7 others later this week.

Thanks! Happy Growing!!

teSmp's Critical Sensi Star - POTM

Hey everyone here is my Critical Sensi Star from Delicious Seeds. I vegged one month, counting from the day the seedling came above the surface in my 5 gallon DWC. For training I LST'd at 10" starting on day 14, and started training with the screen at day 21. Flowering started right around the one month mark and filled the remainder of the 6 sq/ft screen. I didn't TOP or FIM at all, all the tops are just from the LST and screen. I'm using Blue Planet Nutrients for this grew (as well as all my others grows on here). PPM around 1300 and pH of 5.8.

My goal was 5 ounces from this one plant but I'm thinking it will end up more around 7-10 ounces. There is 103 tops and if I had to guess an average they would be around 2.5-3 grams per top. Some smaller around a gram and some larger probably around a quarter ounce a piece. Lighting I used a 400w MH and flowered with a 400w HPS. Temps were solid at 79F and RH between 45-55% throughout the entire grow. These pictures were taken tonight which is the start of the 47th day of flowering. This is a 50-55 day strain and depending on the trichs I may run it up to 60 days. I want it be all cloudy with about 15-20% amber. This is my first hydro grow and no problems at all, if anyone's thinking about making the switch do it!! If anyone needs any help with hydro/SCROGs just ask Thanks and good luck everyone!
