That's more or less where we're at right now. Well we're on Day 42, but I'll update with the latest pics probably tonight.

What I'm thinking of right now is if I should go scrog or not? What do you think?

i've heard nothing but good things about this strain. certainly looks like it's had some indica bred into it.
at 70-75 days it's quick for a sativa dominant.

will be following this thread all the way, planning on growing this next run, and you have the same tent and lights (wattage only) as me so will be a good guide to follow.
you got a couple of different pheno's in there? looks like a couple are more vigorous than the others.

Thanx bro :)
Acapulco Gold is a great smoke. At least for me, I like the taste, the aroma, the high, everything...

Don't know about different phenotypes.... probably. One, though experienced an accident when I was training it but I instantly took good care of it, and it didn't affect it. Here's the wounded one (it's the one bottom left on the pics):

Day 43 and everything's going well except from one plant that seems to have some kind of a problem, but I really don't know what. It seems like it's growing a bit funny.

I've also placed a net on top of the 4 plants trying to make it scrogish. More or less the area I have is filled out.

Here are 4 pics, sorry bout the quality, i'll try another camera next time. First pic is the one that's growing weird (in the others it's the top left). Any opinions, suggestions are highly appreciated.

Everything seems to be going great.

Until day 43 lights were on 18/6, from day 43 till day 46 the lights were on 16/8.
Today I changed the photoperiod again and now they're on 14/10 and will stay like this for 4 days.

Here are the pics!

I have 2 started and started my LST earlier than you did the leafs look similar to yours, a little more indica. They are looking ok I have been feeding them organically with teas. Going to vedg for a few more weeks then take some clones and kick them into bud. I have the same tent to start my seeds in and use a 200 watt T-5 when they are small. Your plants look nice i am very curious to see how yours turn out. Keep the photos coming and i will try and put some up next weekend of mine..
