Hey trek, that's great news, congratulations!
I have a thread about my water cure on another site. I've been avoiding linking to that site because I hear people are getting banned for linking there. I don't get why that's happening, but if I'm not around anymore after this post you'll know why and can find me on the other site if need be.

Regarding harvest timing, you may also find this interesting:

Sorry for not keeping up to date on the journal. I've been very sick for the last few weeks and have been in and out of the ER and going to doctors appointments and doing lab work almost every day.
I've been unable to keep a close eye on the plants and it takes all my energy for the day just to water them when they need it. Luckily this is a very hardy strain and I don't seem to have experienced any issues. The plants are still nice and green with very little yellowing and a decent amount of purple on both phenos. I've been keeping them on 1tsp/gal 20-20-20 along with some cal-mag. I would have preferred to use 10-30-20 towards the end but I just can't keep a close enough eye on them to make sure there aren't any problems, so 20-20-20 is just a safer bet. I was able to check trichomes the other day and I'd say I'm about a week from harvest at the most. Unfortunately I also broke my camera so I don't have any pics to share. I may take some cell phone pics at harvest but my cell camera is total crap so no promises.

Definitely sounds like querkle to me. Clones seem to veg a bit quicker than seedlings from what I've experienced, but it does really take off in flower (and gets even bushier). The one I'm vegging right now has been topped twice so far and it's bushing out very very thick. We'll see what happens in flower but so far I prefer this over just topping once at 2-4 nodes.

Yeah both phenos purpled up pretty good. I didn't intentionally lower the temp, but since it's winter the temps are down a bit. Lights on is probably 75-80F about a foot under the HPS and at night it's about 60F in there. I've heard that around a 20F difference between day and night temps brings on the purple better than dropping both the day and night temps. No idea if that's true though.
Harvesting today so I'll hopefully have pics posted today or tomorrow.

Just got done chopping up the first plant. The colas and nugs on the tips of each branch feel very dense but below that is mostly popcorn... probably cause it's so damn bushy that not much light penetrated past the canopy. I could have cut the colas and top nugs and let the rest keep going for a bit, but I like making butter so I don't mind some popcorn.

The secret to a good edible is a shit load of very dry weed chopped up very very fine (coffee grinder works great). I use 1oz trim/popcorn or 1/2oz buds to each stick of butter.
Usually I estimate dry weight by wet weight, but I'm trying something new and doing the initial drying with the leaves still on. I don't have enough harvests to be good at estimating just by looking at it. I want to believe there's about 5oz per plant but all the leaf could be making it look like more than it is. I'd be pretty happy with 4oz per plant but will be disappointed if it turns out to be less than that.
