LOL Duggan, I just now found time for an update. 
I apologize for my recent absence folks, but I had to step up and handle some stuff personally. I have a short break before I get back to it, and I found time to take some pics and post them.
My plants have been neglected. In fact, I just realized today that I lost a week somewhere. I was supposed to chop Grapefruit last week and the Carnivals today, the youngsters have gone unpotted, etc. Everything is set back a week or three. But this Grapefruit looks lovely, with its purple tinge and orange hairs. It's as done as it's ever gonna get, heheh. I haven't pulled out the loupe and checked for ambers, but I imagine there are plenty. But man, is this one frosty! It definitely has denser trichs than the earlier ones under 600 watts of hps. I like it. Probably chop it tomorrow.

These two Carnivals were supposed to be finished today, but they can easily go another week. Carn5 is holding on better than Carn4, but they both have great trich production, courtesy of a mere 400 average watts of Intelligent-Gro II. Both of these plants came out of veg looking pretty bad, but they did quite well under the LED panel. Neither one will be a high yielder, but I want smaller plants anyway, now, to suit my pots.

Utopia Haze is looking fairly good. It finished the cat drench a week ago and is starting to swell a bit. At this point I don't see any way that this pheno will finish in 11 weeks as described by the breeder. That would be two weeks from now and I'm thinking it has another month to go. In a way, it's reassuring, because the pheno I liked went 10 weeks, so maybe that's the common one and I just ended up getting two of this fluffy hazey one. I may have to get more beans and try again. But it does look kinda like your KC-45, Lester. It may be good smoke when it's done.

Destroyer showed pistils about a week and a half ago and is going "okay". It has purple stems and a bad color but it's alive and blooming and its cuts took, so I get another crack at it.

GF3 replaces the GF2 that I'm chopping tomorrow ...

And Buddha Haze was ready for bloom, lanky energetic girl that she is. This is what my original Utopia Haze looked like, with the large firm leaves and open node pattern. Both varieties are crossed with a Brazilian Sativa - an unnamed one for Utopia, and Manga Rosa for Buddha - so maybe that's a shared expression - fingers are crossed. I topped this one once and it took well to it.
... but I apparently didn't take pics ... oops ... I'll get some tomorrow.
Next to go into bloom will be a couple Utopia Haze cuts and the Blue Blood, in two or three weeks, with Nexus and NepJam a couple weeks later. I have about three more weeks of 12 hours days left, and then I'll be free to indulge in my hobby again, so the timing is pretty good.
Whew!

Good to know I'm not the only one that's had that experience.....Many of the strongest plants that I had, were highly stressed and/or deficient to a fair degree. 
Purdy thang.
