Critical+, Critical Cheese, Ayahuasca Purple, Nuken

Howdy Folks. I don't post often here but I do frequent the threads on the forums. I just wanted to share some of my current grows. All strains just entered 5th week of flower. Medium is mostly coco with between 5-10% perlite. I decided to run remo nutrients this time as my hydro store was running a couldn't pass special on their materials. I normally would either run advanced nutrients or a dry organic top dressing such as gaia. Plants are in 5 gallon geopots. 600 watt hortilux conversion bulb. Strains are Critical+(Dinafem), Critical Cheese (Dinafem), Ayahuasca Purple(Barney's Farm), Nuken (Cash Crop Ken).

Plants all doing well. Ayahuasca Purple is picky with nutes, she showed signs of over-fert at a feeding of 1.2 EC. Had calmag issues during 2 week of flower with Nuken. Got that taken care of right away. No deficiencies right now. Plants are sugaring nicely and I can't wait for them to fatten up. The champions of this grow are the two critical varities. Ayahuasca is completely disappointing!! It's frosting up nicely but just isn't putting on the bud mass, even the top colas are popcorn compared to the criticals. It's also a lanky stringy plant that can barely hold up its branches, even in veg. I can say I will not grow this one again in the future. Nukens buds are also lackluster, despite a girthy and strong growth in veg. This plant is very strong with thick stalks and I thought it would be the champion early on. Buds are not filling out at all but the frost on this one is crazy good. Even the fan leaves are getting coated with frost even during 5th week of flower. I'm guessing small buds, but hard hitting medicine.

I will include some pics of the plants here for you all. Enjoy.

Good looking girls ...they will swell .

I love me some week 6-8 swelling. I swear, in my experience, buds double their weight on those final weeks. Patience is such a virtue. I'm really really hoping those purples and nukens end up putting mass on. Can't say I've ever seen any other strain (indica) have such low mass at week 5, but I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks for dropping by, my friend.

If that's what yours looks like at day 32, then I must have got a really bad pheno. Mine doesn't look half that size and is currently at day 39. They are heavily frosted but I'm lucky to pull 10 grams dried from this plant, and she's sitting at two feet in height and multiple tops. Light ,environment, nutes, soil, ph, etc... all great and still a lanky spindly lackluster plant. Yours look fantastic though, very nice plants, my friend.

A little update. They look to be about 2-3 weeks from harvest. Time to flush.

looking good
