That is one huge ass plant man, I can't wait to see how it turns out for you. I hope the whole thing doesn't get so heavy it collapses(not saying it will).

You have a great point, I intend to tie up branches as its needed because of the way it's growing a lot of pressure is going to be put on some of them, but that screen being made from bamboo is also to add a ton of support to the plant

also, I think this strain is just built for the situation. I have a few others and they just have too much kush in them. I wish I knew what other strains are known for growing stems like this, the only other one i have grown so far i think could handle it is Alaska thunder fuck.

Groovey cool, I like these plants,Your gonna freek!!!!!! What I do with oversize frankendope strains is, F.I.M. Clone eferything under the screen . let it grow out and F.I.M again, Then bloom. It makes it wider but kinda puts the squelch on the skyscraper,,,, kinda. You still have to manipulste and train the branches. I found for the screens, if you go to wall- mart you can pick up a very nice badmitten set for about $20.00 These nets work great! and they are strong enough to handle rough treatment.

Everyone should take a look at melungonmans air cloning style, it's something I've been wanting to do just haven't yet-it just seems like the easiest an smartest way to take starts.

Beautiful man, that canopy is just ridicules! Next update try to get a yard stick in the pic for some perspective on the size of it all. She seems to be putting buds on pretty fast for being 16 days from 12/12 obviously being so mature prolly helped that, and good genetics I would have to think. I'm wondering if that might be a 2 pound+ plant, I could be wrong obviously but she's gonna be heavy for sure.

I don't have a yardstick but I could put something else next to it. I need ideas how to do that though because I have to stand about 4 ft away just to fit it all in the pic so I can't hold anything, it has to be something I can set down and step away.

Any photo requests I will happily attempt to fill an questions answered

Northern light x big bud does flower very hard very fast, other strains I have grown take a little longer to put out buds like this but honestly my whole room has buds nearly this size. I know that it's the amount of light I pummel them with that makes them bud so fast. that plant has 2000 watts over it. Some say its a waste, most people just say holy shit!

If I look at the two pics at the same time it's 3D!! ;)

Very, very good karma for you...and the plants not bad either!

No +rep though; the universe has been kind enough to you already. lol

Thanks for the kind words everyone, makes it fun :)

In case anyone was wondering how the "half hydro" is working out i had a quick peek under the container yesterday when watering (it was angled slightly and needed repositioned on the hydroton) ad it looked like I had a ton of roots about a inch long growing out into the wet hydroton. The hydroton is under the container to prevent "air pruning" an ld give the roots a way of drinking even more without sitting in water

Glad to hear the half hydro is working well, I figured it should. Great perspective in those pics, and gotta love boobies!

Having a bit of a hard time with nutes, it's so much hungrier then the other plants in the room that even with double nutes, extra granular scratched into dirt and with folier feeding, it's still yellowing and shedding leaves. Not in a problematic way mind you ( I think) but about 10/day get plucked from being pure yellow while my other girls are all dark green. If anyone has a pointer of what I can feed it as a folier spray to help a plant around week 3 flower with general plant lushness. The buds are fine and the leaves are 95% healthy, I just feel it wants more then the roots can support
