Dude, mine are out of control! Everything grew another half inch overnight! I get my pH pen in tomorrow so maybe I'll change everything then. I timed this terribly, but I've learned a lot for the next grow.

Looks really good. You should think about take some cuttings before you flower. Hate to loose a good strain. or if u do get more seeds start em a bit earlier that 2 weeks before crop.

Yep thats why i was saying you need to start flowering. Your going to have lots of room width wise but not much in height, you had a good idea in topping them maybe you should do it.

If I topped them, I'd want to give them some time to recover in veg, but that won't work since I'm going to start flowering tomorrow. I think I'll be able to train them sideways once they start getting close to the glass, right?

no it will be too late to train them when they hit glass, u will have colas by then. I toped my blue hash yesturday, they already have two new growth shoots with second set of leaves very fast 24 hours. i hit flower today.

And I am taking TOPS

So try it if height is an issue

Day 32

These pictures were taken about 10 hours ago before I changed the reservior to the flowering nutrient schedule and changed the lights and cycle. I thinking of beginning to train them to bend starting in a week. Here is what I am feeding these girls...

Sensi Bloom A: 45ml
Sensi Bloom B: 45ml
Carboload Liquid: 36ml
Sensizym: 180ml
Voodoo Juice: 108ml
Piranha Powder: 8g
Tarantula Powder: 8g
Bud Blood: 18 g

Total ppm = 780
My neutral water ppm = 100
Nutrient ppm = 680








I thought all my sativa Brainstorm had died out, but I think one survived. This one plant is very different looking from the others.

Day 2 Flowering

I'm already starting to show sex. I'll take a picture of it tomorrow. Size is my biggest problem right now. My biggest plants are almost half way to the lights already. If anyone has any advice on training these to bend, please let me know.








I took some cuttings last night and put them under a small daylight CFL. I sliced a 45 degree angle under some vitamin B infused water with a little Voodoo Juice, and dipped the end in rooting hormone.

Im not a fan off trimming the bottom until i see flowers. Training is tuff in these boxes, but since u have the extra room u could bend them. Trial and error It would probably be best to leave as is and if they get out of control then bend them a bit

Flowering Day 5

Everything is bushing out and growing up like crazy. I've decided to make a run to the hydro store and get my co2 all ready to go. The BCNL grow manual says to introduce co2 anytime after week two of flower, but because these plants are so big, I don't think waiting any longer will benefit me. I've tucked all the leaves that were covering any potential bud site to increase the light to these areas. Still waiting on my t-5's to arrive!

Interesting trend: the last two days, my pH has been trending down. Ever since the beginning of my grow, I've always had to continually add pH down to control rising pH. Maybe this is a result of the different nutrients in the res.

I have a photobucket slideshow I want to post, but don't know how. Just keep seeing html! Anyone have an idea?

Yah i would wait a while before adding co2 or your girls will grow over a inch a day. You would probably have to post a link where the slideshow is hosted. the fourms do not alow full html

Yep mine does pump is shitty, It will leave and inch around entire tube. Thanks to a smart friend he recommended a shop vac. It will suck the rest up which is like 6-8 liters. Got it on sale at home depot for 39.99. Cheapest one there and does job well
