Thanks everyone for the compliments and Christmas wishes!
Today I had all the girls out for pictures and brix tests, and everything looks especially nice - the best group of plants I've grown so far.
I was going to chop White Panther today, but it looks like it wants to make some more calyxes so I'm going to just watch it for a few days. It has some cloudy and amber trichs, but they haven't been turning very rapidly, so I think I have a little more time. This one got Cat drench 18 days ago. In the future, I'm going to give that a week earlier - at least three weeks before chop.
White Panther - 132 days old - 70 days 12/12 - 59 since pistils - brix 13/13
These next two strains are developing much more rapidly than i thought they would. The Wild Thai may be done already - no new pistils and the rest are all browning, or it may just be shock from the Cat drench. Panama rested last week and then started puffing up her calyxes this week. I had Thai scheduled to finish in 3 weeks and Panama in 4, but now I don't know what to think. It's been 40 days since they set pistils.
Wild Thailand - 98 Days old - 53 days 12/12 - 40 since pistils - brix 12/12
I'm likin' this purple coloration.
Panama - 101 Days - 55 days 12/12 - 40 since pistils - brix 11/11
Tangerine Dream was boring this week - nothing to report except she can barely hold her stalks up now. That's going to be annoying.
Tangerine Dream - 100 Days old - 42 days 12/12 - 26 since pistils - brix 10/10
I'm starting to like Utopia Haze. It's a weird spindly thing with hardly any leaves, and it's not going to produce much, but the nugs it's growing look like they'll be dense and covered in trichs. We'll see. I like having the experience. This is an unusual one.
Utopia Haze - 78 Days old - 35 days 12/12 - 16 days since pistils - brix 13/13
SLH Reveg is progressing pretty much like I hoped she would. Pistils are set, she stretched a nice amount, and she'll turn out to be about the size I was hoping for. Now it's just a question of whether she can grow decents buds on all those stems.
SLH Reveg - 211 days old - 14 days 12/12 - 4 since pistils - brix 12/13
JD4 had me a little worried in veg, but it looks like it's going to be fine. I stalled this one in a 3 quart pot while its sister grew up and got chopped a couple weeks ago, so it's really old. But it's looking pretty vigorous now.
JD4 - 124 days old - 7 days 12/12 - brix 10/11
WP1 is exhibiting one of its winning qualities - especially strong branches. The difference between this one and JD4 is dramatic at this point. JD4 is a little weak and floppy - WP1 is hearty and strong.
WP1 - 84 Days old - 7 days 12/12 - brix 10/11
Pana1 is developing very nicely. I topped it twice in a row, so it will have 7 good tops, and I'm going to leave this one in veg longer. I'm pretty sure this strain will be a keeper.
Pana1 - 55 days old
Thai1 looks just like her mother - charming.
Thai1 - 54 days
I kept the other pair of Pana and Thai cuts to fool around with. I want to see what happens if I LST the Thai - looks ok. Panama hates small pots.
Cuts are looking fine.

I noticed that you put the brix measurement down. How do you check this?

Thanks!
There's a device called a refractometer that allows light to shine through a prism covered in juice. You get a measurement of light refraction, which correlates very closely with plant health. Higher levels of sugars and mineral compounds give higher readings. The idea is that the readings can change very quickly, allowing a grower to measure the effectiveness of a nute regimen or other technique.
You can buy one online at the usual places for $30 or less. I'm only taking weekly readings at this point. I'm not doing the testing and tweaking that Doc and others have done.
Amazingly healthy, and gifted ladies you got there. Loving them, and can't wait to see them finish! 
It would be nice to see what number I'm coming up with on my end product this next run, so I might invest in one. Thanks for the info, and I'm glad it doesn't involve dropping a bale of it on my foot to see (ouch! = 7 bricks, OUCH!!! = 11 bricks). 
DAMN Gray!!! Do what you do dude!!!
So many nice flavors one after another, amazing job man..
They all look GRRREAT!!

LOL, thanks Reg. Gray does what he does.
Yeah, variety! I love growing the pretty plants and smokin' 'em up, but I especially like getting to taste and feel all the different flavors and buzzes. I've smoked far too much brickweed in my life. Life is too short to smoke bad pot, eh?
Thanks for the support!
And does it well may I add!
Happy Grew Year!

Thanks!
2013 wasn't one of my favorite years.
I toast a bud of Jamaican Dream in hopes that 2014 will be better for mine and yours!
Ha that pic on the last page with the TV on looks like ol' Clark Gable is sniffin' up on one of your colas
Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a dank.....
