Down and dirty update
Fruit Punch, my little runt. She makes me want to run her full sized. CooCooSkunk behind her.
(WWxSK#1 in Soil) DirtySkunk, she lives in the corner and is often forgotten . She consists of those four small branches, coming out of that ~.75gal pot, and she's the best smelling plant in the tent, and is sooo ORANGE. It's such an uplifting fragrance for me, but maybe that is just my association. She's not had a lot of attention, but is doing really well. Let's just hope those two things aren't too closely related. Both of these WWxSK#1 are going a bit slow, but they also look to be almost all sativa. Their leafs are thinner than the Panama, so...yeah, that's weird. Anyway, I love the smoke, so I'm going to coddle these fussy brats. Her mother that hermed, blew up super fast, so I'm OK with these girls going slow, if that means no balls.
(WWxSK#1 in Coco) CooCooSkunk. Day 33 flower. She's coming together, but her buds are still pretty small, like her sister in soil. I've been underfeeding her, as I'm used to having a rich soil base...but I think I found her spot. She smells just slightly less Orangey than her twin in soil. So far, I like the Coco, but my soil plants seem more -- alive. Coco also uses a TON more nute$. I'll have to run more plants, to see if I can get into it, but so far I'm kinda neutral. If she yields higher, that would be a plus, but she's looking like she needs to eat a whole nother plant.
Cotton Candy. Day 32 flower. She's still going, and looks like she'll keep at if for a bit. About a day behind the other girls, another month to go. I'll now switch her (and the others) from BigBud (P) to Overdirve (P), for two weeks, then two of flush, and harvest is estimated at 9/2. She's got about 10% or so brown pistils, and is nearly filled in, so I'm guessing she'll be the first of the bunch to harvest.
Strawberry Blue, Day 33 Flower. I go back and forth with this one. She smells great, very fruity with some musky skunk. She's got the fattest pistils I've ever had, and her buds look like they might get pretty big. 65% Sativa. About a month left, and all the mysteries will be revealed. She got fed today, so there are tons of photos.
Panama, Day 33 Flower, and groups. Panama is starting to fill in and stack her buds. I'm feeding every watering, and she's drinking a lot now, every 30 hrs water and feed -- Perfect.

SD, that's great to hear! I'm very happy with how they are going and I am hoping to set some personal milestones with this one. 
I was just going to say, gorgeous tentfull!
Thanks GT! Oh, btw.....
your Uncle Ben UHaze....you know I love that shape! I can't wait to see them all, the B.Haze & Destroyer sound amazing too! So many strains, so many beautiful plants. I'll have to join the discussion on your LED thread. 
Yeah, Wow.

Thanks Les!! I will do my best!
They seem to be something very special; I feel very fortunate to have them. I think I understand her a bit now. She's building those calyx franchises...just sprouting a triplet of them out, here and there, making beautiful sprays, that will swell...ahhh....she's so 
and what the rest of the gang said...
Thanks GT! Oh, btw.....
LOL, that UHaze is at 28.5 inches today - up from 17.5 seven days ago ... 11 inches in 7 days ... ?
Whoa, sweetie!

Rocket Queen! She's a sexy beast GT. That's like 2.5" each of the last two days, she's gonna raise the roof. Her mains are so branchy already....you going to top her once more, or let her go?
She's been in 12/12 for a few days, so I don't want to confuse her ...
If she doesn't show a pistil or two soon though, I suppose I'll have to do something ...

Sir! I can't wait.....like - at all. I'm about a week or two from starting some test buds on CC. Agreed, looking very nice CS.
Thanks SG! Even when I'm not lifted, I just look in there and stare. A lot. There's no room to sleep in there, so that's out.
CC and SB, are just about harvest sized, and they have 3-4 weeks to go.

I'll try to drag these girls out for some real pics, but it's getting harder to Tetris them back in there.
So, some yellow club photos of the girls strutting their stuff.
Cotton Candy, Day 35 flower, showing 3 of the 4 mains. She's already got more bud on her than the last GLP that I harvested, and she's about the same size. She should be good for 100++ I'm hoping. She's just starting to yellow out some of her fans, that she doesn't want any longer. I like to see a yellowed plant at the end, and she's about on time. 2 weeks of feed left, and 2 weeks flush. She's as fat as any plant I can remember at this stage...can't wait to see if she swells.
Strawberry Blue, Day 36 flower, She's a beast in how she puts out buds. They aren't done growing, but they look like they want to be peach sized, or bigger. They are smaller than CC's but look like they will be bigger...we will see! She smells like berry pie...so sweet. She's easy too, not finicky.
CocoSkunk Day 36 flower, she's looking OK. She has a slight CaMg defic, but otherwise looks good. Like her mom, she's not that fuzzy, but she has other attributes.
Panama, Day 36 flower, Not sure what pheno I have, but she's steadily filling out, and is just starting to color up her pistils. She doesn't look like the red pheno, with pink pistils, so I may have the green pheno, or the white one, that is green but stretchy and resinous. Lots of variation in this genetic, and it's just beautiful to see her grow. The smoke is just the culmination of the love affair, the really fun part is getting there I felt overprotective and ran her runoff. 6.0

She's still pumping out pistils - sheesh, what a beast!

Looking great Carestaker, question if I may? Do you feel that the 600w HPS is doing a good job for you? And do you think a 600w is good enough for a 5'X5' tent or do you think you would want a 1000w HPS?
