They look great Havoc! Can you get pics before the lights go on with a flash, or just normal lighting? I'd love to see them in their natural color

Yeah I will today after work.

Thank you bro. And I mean that, thank you. I was waaaay underfeeding until you suggested more. Now they can take full use of the expensive red light!

I keep looking at the pictures like "I cannot believe this is mine.."

That's all you brutha! It must smell teriffic in there right now as well. Great job!

You're at 6g/gal right now so next feeding you can bump up to 6.5g. How many weeks you think you have left?

I'm at week 5, I'll start doing trichome pics soon it's just hard to hold my hand still. In a few weeks, around week 8, I'll start cutting small samples to place under my microscope and get a real solid trich shot. Breeders say 8 to 12 week for peyote and blue dream. @MrSauga

Man I'm not just saying this but those colas are some of the best I've seen.
You have an absolutely awesome grow here and you should be really proud of it.
As I have learned growing isn't all that easy for beginners but you got this

Got some free products from Sierra Natural Science. Mainly organic pesticide. Anyone ever use them? It came with this which I thought was cool

I haven't but they are a sponsor here which is nice.

Wasn't really free had to pay shipping but seems like some good stuff. I won't use the ferts but definitely nice having the pesticides handy.

It's still free in my books!

Hey guys so I'm on week 6. When do y'all think I should start checking trichomes? I'm going to have to snip samples in order to get a good shot. I don't wanna snip every day up until harvest. I'd rather close that gap and start snipping around week 8. Two of the plants have unknown harvest dates. @MrSauga @Billpopy79 @Silverfox125 @GHempster

I'm not sure on your other strains but my friend grew a few lots of peyote critical and his always went to around 9 weeks from flip, obviously environment, lighting etc could have an effect on flowering times but I would say you probably need to start checking at the end of week 7.
Your other plants look to have a bit of stavia so I would guess they will if anything need longer.
Is there no way you can check without chopping buds?
I just zoom my phone camera in and try and hold it steady.

I like to start when I enter the flower window. Usually 7 weeks.

I recently stumbled onto a post @InTheShed has in his signature about macro pics and realized I was going overkill with my magnification. I grabbed my daughters 10x magnifying glass and it’s getting the job done lol.
