Thanks gpd - getting closer!
Thanks man - my humidity is in the mid-60s all the time, moving within that range during lights off and on. My temps are as low as 65 during lights out and as high as 80 during lights-on. The VK is starting to purp up a bit on some tips due to that change. The AoS has a lot of trichs covering the buds and calyxes, so it's hard to see any of it's purp/pinkish colors..
Thanks Bluez! ..still following your grow as well!

Yeah, it shows up more in the pictures - I can't see it as much with the HPS light on... it seemed to be more noticable earlier on in flower - now there's quite alot of frost coating those parts of the buds...
It seems to be quite a stable strain from what I've seen - not too many different phenos, and the ones I've seen grown right through tend to be extremely thick and strong. I supercropped this one for about a week, which I believe helped keep her a bit shorter and spread it's energy across the tops rather nicely. I didn't top this one - just kept vigilant with the LST striaght through until week 5 of flower... and like MonkeyMonk said, I should have taken a cutting from this one and kept a mother..

sweet ace of spaces Dayzt. is she almost done? she looks really dense and tasty like a delicious ripe sugar coated fruit pie.
and the vk has such pretty perky pistils. are you going to wait until they all turn cinnimin and curl up before you chop?
how much longer do you think for both? Can i ask you..... how do you like to finish up your grows. like what do you do to your girls right before you chop?
peace bro

Hey ambs - things are indeed getting close to finished. The VK will likely go 9 weeks before I flush her. The AoS is looking more and more like it will only need the prescribed 8 weeks, but we'll see - I'n not in any rush. Currently they're both in the middle of week 7 of flower, so we're looking at a new-years-week harvest and then possibly again the week after.
I've been watching the trichs, and the VK has pretty much all cloudy trichs right now, but continues to push out more and more white pistils... I'll likely wait for about 10% amber trichs to come in before starting the flush - but that could 'come about' at any time, so she could easily be harvested at the same time as the AoS if need be. The AoS has a range of clear to amber trichs on her, but I'm not about to chop her earlier than 8 weeks - most of her pistils have receded or turned brown/orange, so she's definitely getting close.
Generally, I watch for some amber trichs to determine when to chop - but it pays to research it a bit and see what others do at harvest for specific strains. This is only my second time harvesting waterfarm-grown plants, so I'm still going through the 'trial and error' phase as for as when to chop.. Right now however, my biggest concern is keeping the root system healthy on both, to prevent excessive root damage in that inaccessible rez... thus the H2O2 I've been adding, as well as ice-cubes to my add-back pail to help bring my rez temps down to prevent lack of oxygen. I've used AN's 'Final Phase' flush solution in the past in my final waterings to help pull out the extra nutes from the plant at the end, but this time I'm going to just flush with straight pH'd RO water - completely chemical free. Last time (TD) I didn't do a continuous flush either, which means I didn't empty the rez multiple times in one day to remove the drained flush water...at least not enough apparently. This time, I'm going to be watching it much closer and will be trying to get that ppm number as low as I can before chop-night...
I know...I know...lol.. but really, I don't have the room or resources to keep a mother plant in the setup I have going. Hopefully I will in the future, but right now it's just not an option. Even though I've been growing pretty much non-stop now since early 2009, I'm still excited to try new and different strains all the time, so that makes it hard to keep anything as I go - always grow from seed, no clones or mothers yet. If I end up having more space and time in the future, I'll def end up keeping some mothers though... and possibly upgrading to a 4-unit waterfarm with one large rez...we'll see!

Cool man - hope those beanz work out for ya!
Thanks bro. I'll let you know how much of a dif it makes once I can do a smoke report.
Wow. You are SO right...great pic - I'm totally inspired!! Now I'm wondering if I can somehow root a small cutting from the AoS and baby it up into a mother...lol... is that even possible with a plant 7 weeks into flower?

Yeah it's possible, take a lower shoot with less bud mass. It will take a bit longer to reveg though since it's so far into flower. Probably at least a month.

Merry Christmas everyone!! Here's a quick photo update - sorry a few of these turned out blurry..didn't have much time to retake them. This is the end of week 7 of flower, and I've got these girls already using less and less nutes. Tomorrow night the AoS willl get a small amount which will diminish to nothing by Wed - then 2-3 days of flushing just before harvest on New Years day! Then the VK will follow suit the next week...

LOokinG goOd! ace of spades looks like it isn;t as fussy as the VK with lower yields and better hash maker.
