SweetIndica2,
I can't believe I just now found your thread. I didn't think you even had a thread going.
Good to see the old blockheads going strong in your garden. I must agree that I think you're going to like it. Keep up the good work. How has the FN/pk been treating you? Notice any beefing up? Looks like the indica pheno is finishing quickly. Maybe she won't go for too long after all. Best of luck with the last couple of weeks.

Thanks man, i gave them the FN + PK boost yesterday and they already seem to be beefing up a little since, i wish i had kept them as mothers. It's funny, because the sativa leaning pheno was behind in trich production, but now actually a little more frosty than the indica pheno, i'm sure both will be amazing smoke.
I'll keep ya updated, and again thanks for so much for your help.

Quick Update. They are on day 45 of flowering today, give or take a day. They are both doing great, i took a small sample yesterday and dried it out and did a smoke test, so far she is very nice. Very frosty, even when dry and her potency is sure up there even though she's not fully ripened yet. The taste wasn't great, but that's probably because i didn't flush them before i took the small bud off, i will wait to do a full smoke report when they are harvested, dryed, and cured.
I do have to say though, even from that small nug when dried she has a very fruity citrusy smell. I actually had to tie up some branches on the indica pheno for support because her buds are so heavy, her main stem which is almost an inch thick was bending because of the weight of the buds, i've never seen that before in any plant i've grown. Although, i've never used a 1000w before and now i know how big and dense the colas get when using one.
I am going to feed the indica pheno once more, with 5-6ml of FN and 1ml of Canna PK 13/14 (the canna should bring my PK up to exactly where it should be). Then next watering i am going to flush her for 9-10 days and harvest. Is it ok to use say brita water for flushing? Or should i get distilled or purified water?
The sativa pheno is doing great as well, shes packing on weight and has gotten a very strong fuely but somewhat fruity smell to her, very similar in smell to sour diesel. She is certainly packing on crystals too. I am going to feed her atleast twice more, maybe 3 times more and then flush her because she is atleast 7-10 days behind the indica pheno.
Here are some pics, these were taken on day 41 (about 4 days ago). I will get even newer pics by day 50 of flowering.
The First 3 pics are of the Indica Pheno, and the last 3 are of the sativa pheno:

Looking great SweetIndica2. They look like they've plumped up nicely. They should still pack on the weight a good deal. The buds should get much denser. Brita water would be fine. You can use plain tap water if you want, as long as you let it sit or bubble it for 24 hrs. I use RO so I end up using that for my flush, really gets everything out of there. Glad to see everything is coming along so great. Did you keep any clones around to give it another go? I'll be back later to check up. Take it easy.

Update:
They are both doing great and getting real chunky. They are both on day 57 flowering today. The Indica pheno is going to be chopped on day 62 or 63 and the sativa pheno will be chopped anywhere between 70-72 days depending on the trich color when i check them.
The indica pheno has some purple hues coming out, especially on the leaves. I have been flushing the indica pheno for 5 days, and am going to start flushing the sativa pheno next watering.
Here are 2 pics, the first pic is of the indica pheno and the second pic is of the sativa pheno. As you can see, she's frosting up nicely.

shit looks dank! had a hashberry mom that was a heavy indica pheno. loved it. would say this was one of the easiest strains ive ever grown. also had a blockhead/trainwreck, good genetics. it is a shame they are so ridiculously priced. get what you pay for though. i just got a 1000 watter too. am really looking forward to pluggin her in. just waitin on the hortilux to get here. you really noticed a signifcant difference steppin up from the 400w? nice grow, may your next one prosper even more.

shatter- thanks for the compliments. Yea, blockhead is pricy nowerdays, because it's only available from a few places. I got my pack from growshopalien for like $52 with a pack of freebies so it was definately worth it, but the places that have packs left are charging $100-$150+, which is worth it, but still pricy.
levitikuz- Thanks alot. I will be doing extensive reports on both, i will also be including several nugshots of each pheno when they are dry. Will definately let you once i test some.
greenbud- Thanks for the kind words. They actually are fairly smelly, not the strongest smelling i've grown but fairly pungent. I'm not sure if both phenos are causing the smell, but it certainly is noticeable. It's more of a strong fuely citrusy aroma though, so it's not 100% recognizable when you smell it.

lol, thanks. Yea, i actually had to lower the brightness on most of the pics because the buds are so white that the pictures come out blinding white.

outstanding grow SI; i have cali indica going right now she is in d-13 under 600w and she is nothing like your pure landrace. is it more the pheno ur running, the light, or combination of the 2 that make it flower so rapidly?
SweetIndica2

rollin- thanks. There are alot of things that play into bud growth.
For example: lighting, environmental conditions, phenotype, nutrients, growing skill, etc. all play a part in how the plant will grow.
A 600w is plenty of light though, i actually am looking into buying a few 600's after this grow to go along with my 1000w. A 1000w will give a better yield per plant generally speaking, but not a huge difference. I noticed a noticeable difference from say a 400w to a 1000w, but not a huge difference between alot of the 600w grows i've seen. 600's are very efficient as well.
A good pheno is a good starting place too, i've had plenty of phenos that have yielded shitty, and then some that yield great. You can easily increase your yield with a heavy yielding pheno. These blockheads are actually some of the best producers i've come across, the indica pheno is actually probably #1 as far as bud size out of all the phenos i've had. The sativa pheno seems like it's holding it's own too. Blockhead is an awesome strain, and i'm not even done with her yet lol, very frosty, very large yield, easy to grow, etc. The crazy colors she produces are amazing too, i have some purple and reddish hues coming out on both plants.
I also prefer to veg for a long time, i vegged them both for almost 2 months each, i made sure they were nice and bushy and mature before i put them into flower. I've found if you give them plenty of veg time, they just skyrocket with bud production as soon as you put them into flower. You'll get a much better yield this way too.
Good Luck, if you need anymore help let me know.

good lookin out SI; this is my 2nd go round, my 1st was infiltrated by males! f#@*k. but this time around all clear and the aroma is nice on my strawberry cough and the cannadential girls in d-28 so I tend 2 agree with u i think the phenos i grew from seed and cloned r just better right now than my CI girls maybe they will be better than I think.

Sounds like you'll have a nice harvest, S. Cough is awesome, one of my favorite smokes. Good Luck!
UPDATE:
I had to chop down the indica pheno today (Day 62 of flowering), she developed budrot in the middle of all the big colas, it's a shame. My humidity never goes above 45%, and is usually around 30-35%...i think it was caused by the density of the buds, because it started in the middle of the big colas, i threw away a few buds that had it really bad, and tried to chop off as much budrot as i could off of certain buds, most of it was saved though, but i don't think i got all the budrot.
Does anyone know if it's very bad to smoke bud that has a small amount of bud rot? It isn't too severe, as i just noticed it today. I believe it started only a few days ago. I had plenty of ventilation too, and i've never had budrot. These are the densest colas i've seen though.
The total wet weight of all the bud completely trimmed was about 210g, so i'm hoping about 2 oz dry.
I have not had good luck this grow...
Good news though, is that the sativa pheno is doing great. She has some very nice purple almost bluish hues starting on the buds and some of the leaves, she's gotten very crystally too. I'm going to give her until about 73-75 days total (she is on day 62 today)

thats a shame about the bud rot 
but your plants look killer! i am sure u stil got some good smoke off of her. as for the bud rot goes i have no idea, i once got a half ounce that had a few tiny buds in there that seemed kind of black, like they were inside a resinous pipe. and when smoked it became a rock in your bowl, i threw out the bad peices and smoked the rest. as far as i can tell that was bud rot. beautiful plants!

Awesome Blockhead man, i'm looking forward to harvesting mine soon too.
i've come across 5 different pheno types i actually didnt keep the grapefruit after my first run and went with my 4 favorites for a second look.
I've seen A lot of people growing some "elite strains" which all look pretty killer but just from looks and what people comments are Blockhead seems to be as good as any of those around. she's a unique girl. Congrats on an awesome grow.
