thats cool thanks, i dont want rep, i want buds!! LoL. yes, as soon as i saw it was a female, i got rid of the male which already had buds forming with lots of seeds. remember, i topped it at 8 days old at the 3rd node, it went into flowering at 15 days. i tried to tie it down at day 28, thats when i broke the first branch off which was also when she showed sex. i then tied down the other main branch at day 31. i tied the other branches down a few days later.

its day 57 and 6 weeks of flowering. nb has come along real nice, i wish i would have gotten some clones, thinking about starting some new seeds and hope to get another female. there are plenty of nice buds forming now, i will have to start watching closer to see when she will be ready for harvest. she drinks about a gallon every 4 days of water and nutes. for flowering, i have been mixing 1/2 scoop of worm castings (N), 1 scoop of bat guano (P), almost a full scoop of jacks and the GH bloom. this has worked good so far watering twice a day.

the leaves around the buds are full of crystals and very sticky to the touch. the buds have white hairs all over them, they look so good. i cut a smaller bud off the bottom and dried it out under one of the exhaust vents on the box. i cut it up and smoked it in a wooden pipe and it really didnt have much taste to it, but it gave me a stoney high for about an hour or so, it was pretty good. today, i also took her out of the box and vacuumed all the fans, the floor, and the bulbs to get rid of all the dust. the temps are running at 82 during the day with the ac on and 79 at night with the lights off.
