UPDATE:
So it's been quite awhile since I've updated with photos and a long response, so I figure it's overdue, and here it is.
One minute while I pack one up...
Much better, so...
Since I've last updated a lot of stuff has happened. I lost one of my girls to some balls, so I chopped it up. This puts me down to four girls right now:
1.) Old, tall, lanky. Appears to be a sativa heavy plant. At five weeks flowering she has barely any buds that have formed, but many bud sites. The 'experiments' performed with her would be defoliation along with LST. (Not pictured, but can be seen in the back of other pictures)
2.) This second girl is about medium-tall height. She has been LST'd and when you look at her, you will notice that all bud sites are completely un-blocked. I tied hemp strings to the branches and managed to open up light to every bud site, but with this being said, it is still a slow-bloomer. Assuming it to be a sativa dominant.
3.) The oldest girl I have. She suffered through a calcium lockout due to overabundance of magnesium, but pulled through. At two weeks into flowering, she had nice mature calyxes, and now they are swelling nicely. I've been waiting for the day the top cola fills in completely, that is the goal of mine. Lots of orange hairs, and fairly frosty. No experiments on this one that I can recall right now. She seems to be maturing at a much quicker rate than that of the clone (see below) that I took of her. Any ideas?
4.) Clone of the 'Oldest Girl' (seen above). Shot out a bunch of goofy looking leaves after 2 weeks in veg, and then threw her into flower. While the leaves that were shot out do look goofy, they're also quite frosty. This clone was an experiment in itself, but one of statistics. I took this clone to see how much one singular plant done in a SOG setup could yield. To recreate that type of setup, I did the clone in veg for 2 weeks, and then am going to flower her in this small pot seen throughout all of flower because if I were to do a SOG grow one day, I would probably do them in 2L bottles or square pots with small circumferences. If I can get a good pull off the clone, my mind might be switched to a SOG setup in narrow, long containers.
I have been feeding at around 500 PPM or so:
1.5 to 2.0 TBSP - BMO Flower Power
1.0 to 1.5 TBSP - AN Nirvana
I have fed Silica Blast to each of the plants twice throughout their life, and won't need to do it again. Twice seems to be sufficient. Also, I should probably snag a scope soon, as I think the Oldest Girl is going to be a 7-8 week strain, then probably more around 11-12 weeks on the other two sativas, and then 9-10 weeks on the clone (rough estimates). I probably forgot something, but I will be back.
Questions, comments, concerns...?
