Well turns out that 3 of my plants were male, didnt really upset me though . So right now in the picture you can see below i have just weed wacked my awesome looking female, mind you since 12/12 i have been doing it just about every morning because i wake up to stare for about 30min and its a god damn jungle in there. Il take pics tomorrow and show you what i mean. Scroll down

This picture below im experimenting with, trying to make it just a solo stick so hopefully it will produce just 1 fat gigantic bud that i can play swords with . This plant was one of the weakest of all 6 plants but is doing supurb right now and its root system looks healthy as can be.

This one was also one of the runts. Havent LST'd or anything like that. Just a natural grow with minute defoliation.

This is obviously the most mature of the plants. I count 18 Top nodes ( and stopped and smoked and forgot what i was doing). Its hard to tell with the pics and the HPS bulb but the canopy is pretty much perfectly even, like i said before i defoliate next time i will take a pick so you can see how bushy it's really getting in there and how equal everything is, im quiet happy.I have been continuing to LST and when i ripped out the 3 males i obviously was able to use all the room and produce more nodes. The stem of this plant measured to about 3ft, took me a while with the bends and what not but i got it done.

And heres what all the plants are covered in, even Mr.Stick

Before i switched to 12/12 i was on 24/0 and flushed the entire contents of the Emilys Garden to ensure there was no mold buildup or any sort of left over nutes or bacteria(obviously with a DWC this is going to happen regardless so the more flush's you do the better). I think it was 6 or 7 days after i put them into flower is when i gave them there first dose of Flora Nova Bloom Nutes . Like i said the plants are doing exceptionally well, i finaly dialed in my nute balance and flushing time and since then i havent had any more burn. Im looking foward to them starting to Bud up nice and thick/dense hopefully and sharing the pics with yall!. Thanks for stopping by and Grow On.
