Put a soda bottle next to the cola an take a pic for size reference. Them colas look huge!!!!
Thanks for reminding me I had a 16oz soda clf, I forgot I had one, and it's ice cold too. Nice to have on a Sunday. In the last photo, new foxtails are already sprouting up after taking the top off to test for mold. 
I take seeds from the breeders and see what their strains are made from. It's fun to get a look at the different strains used by the breeders by crossing their seeds once and planting the seed. These plants were made with mold resistance in mind when crossing this airy Columbian above with a dense Hash plant. The plants that were harvested early were on the other side of the cross. I've never been unhappy with the results growing like this. I always find diamonds in every grow.
The growth above is a result of some amazing plants and not an amazing grower. Remember breeders mostly only use choice plants for their breeding projects. By doing this I have seen some amazing plants that were chosen by them. That’s why today I have a lot of respect for Breeders because a lot can go into some of their work.

What is the breeder of this Columbian x Hashplant?
I'm not really sure because the seed is old. I do know they came from Spain. I'm thinking If I told you, I may tell you wrong and I don't want to say the wrong thing and piss anybody off..

Nice cross
i would Look for Breederscolombia or Donvitoseeds for colombian genetics..
Heres 110 days of flowering, I've cut the nutrient to 60 ppm and given them only 1000 ml of water per day. The pistils are wilting and so it shouldn't be long now.
Here's today
The way to stop these Columbian plants from continuing to make pistils is slowly starving them to death. If I kept giving a high ppm the plants would just continue to produce pistils and bust the stems.
In a 5-gallon bucket, I mix a batch of flowering nutrients keeping the ppm the same as the in flowering. Only using two 1000 ml cups of water a day I dip out 2 cups from the bucket. I put back pure water to replace the cups used. This way the ppm drops 15 to 20 ppms a day until I hit the bottom. When I hit the bottom ppm I run pure rainwater to finish.
My 5-gallon bucket stays full with the addition of new replacement water every day. I'm below 50 ppm now.

Big bud....Big like Big Spencer!I love it!
big are big, but will they also be rock hard or airy? I like rock hard buds... great job man, I respect you and follow you!

These plants were grown using a minimum amount of base nutrients and no additives. For the last few weeks only used 290 light wattage on a 13/11 photoperiod. I cut the Grow and Cal-mag a long time ago and only used Micro and Bloom up til now.
The ultimate test of this growing method was whether the soil lasted long enough to grow long flowering plants. Now I know yes but only by using a daily low-volume watering method. Instead of watering with 3 cups every 3 days, I water with 1 cup a day every day. 1cup = 1000ml.

Just add the two together to get the total ppm. The problem with tap water is that it can have a high hydroxyl content and buffer your soil later in the grow causing leaf bronzing. If it's a good tap with the right amount of calcium it can be used to stabilize or buffer the pH but that's rare.such a great plant you have love it..and i have a question....my tap water is 140 ppm with nothing added..so how you measure the ppm ?...if tap water is 140ppm.. after added fert going up to 750ppm.. what should number should be taken 750...or 750-140 = 540 ...sooo?
If you use tap water with a high ppm and you don't know what's in the water I would consider using RO or Rainwater to lower the ppm of your tap. Mixing 50/50 RO or Rain with your faucet water can lower the ppm and give your water a boost.
However, if you "only use tap water" then split the feedings and use with every watering. If I have tap water that 140 ppm and I use fertilizer @ 300 ppm then the total will be 440 ppm. NOW if you use that with every watering you will have used 1320 ppm for the week. I like to use only 900 ppm fertilizer per week mixed with using pure RO water. Do you see the difference between my mix with RO and yours with tap. You use 440 unknown ppm per week that you don't know anything about.
With 440 extra unknown ppm per week, the substrate will add up an excess of 1760 ppm a month of impurities. 7040 ppm of unknown ppm will be added to the soil before the plant finishes in 4 months. That's a lot of impurity and that's why I don't use tap.

thanks a lot for that very detailed answer!!! sadly i can't use RO water..only tap usually i give them about 350 ppm total..next time only plain tap plus correct ed PH for a veg period..and wait till they show signs of hunger..then start a flowering nutrients..i break that's rule once and get a massive soil buld up..but many thanks again for the answer!!!
