9/2/12 Update
These plants are driving me nuts!!!! Let me explain. Harriet and Runt are building buds like there is no tomorrow but Ozzie stopped and is starting to stretch like mad. I have had to water them every 3 days and they are taking about 12 oz of water each time. Harriet has been lst so much that some of her branches go around the pot 3 times. Runts buds are getting so thick and long. Later this week I will pull them out of the box and do a bunch of pics just to showoff.
Mini Monster is still growing well in the window and its definitely female, so no males on this grow, she is starting to bud nicely. The wife says that Mini has more hair than I do now.
I got invited over to my Drs house this week and got to see how his plants are doing. I gave him 3 seeds this spring so he could try growing some plus to use for research. He has a huge greenhouse that he uses since he is a botanist on the side and when he showed me the plants I had a hard time believing it. The 2 plants he has growing are approximately 5 foot tall and each plant is about 4 foot around(sorry, no pics per his request). Like Mini and runt his plants have huge fan leaves(larger than my hands) and are just starting to show sex(females).
When I showed him pictures of my grow and told him about Ozzie he said it was most likely due to lack of CO2 that since Runt and Harriet are already flowering they are taking all the CO2 from the jug and Ozzie is happy to be just growing. Sounded plausible to me.
As for mine. I had been adding FF Big Bloom plus my additives at 1/2 strenght every other feeding but since seeing Harriet and Runt budding so well I upped it to full strenght and they are thriving so I will keep it going.
I am thinking about pulling Ozzie out of the box and going into the window sill since she stopped budding and that will give Harriet and Runt alot more room to bloom and possibly give alot more light penetration. I also started taking the RH down from 70-80% to 50% since Runts buds are so thick and I dont want to start any bud rot. I have been rather concerned with Harriets tendency for her leaves to curl under(looks like nute or water deficency) so I have been really keeping and eye on the nutes with my meter. I have had no nute deficency readings and I got the DoA test results back yesterday and everything is right on the money so I think its just a character trait and Ozzies has the same thing going on so I will keep an eye on it anyway.
Its been 6 weeks of flowering and I did a flush Tuesday to ensure no salts build up and everyone has been doing well. I will probably do another 3 week before harvest then start doing nothing but water.
Well, enough of my jabbering on to the pics.
