Yup, they'll definitely keep chunking up. It's amazing how much mass they put on in the last few weeks. The one I have going is almost at 4 weeks. I was getting the "shouldn't the buds be bigger" paranoia the other day, and then remembered what I was growing, lol.

Thank you guys..... Seriously.... I dont have the experience to lean on like some of you..... and that's OK see i have something better and IMHO much much Better.....
I have a pool of good People here at the Mag and few other friends.... hehehehe...... I have a massive pool Worth HUNDREDS of YEARS in experience to draw from...... ALL OF YOU.... It is such an honor to host a thread that so so many excellent Growers and Wonderful People stop by and post up on a regular basis......I started 4 years ago....Ive held great genetics for three of those years.... and lets see I've flowered 4 plants.... life you know, Work, equipment theft... dont ask....., Flood only the bottom of the shop and only about 3 inches but enough to mess me up bad and once again set me back.....So what could i do? I could read....

Last October I gathered all the equipment i had and put it all on a table... Or two... then laid out hundreds of pages of print outs and notes i had collected over the 4 year period and i sat in the floor and made real and Factual Pros and Cons List for every system... DTW... Aeroponic...Flood and Drain..... NFT.. Dutch Buckets....RWDC and so on..... DTW is what i was most comfortable with.... I had started with coco so here we are with coco... I took the Ideas i liked and incorporated them from hundreds of threads It seams like... and somehow i feel like this system is unique.... Not better than others just unique..... I'm not sure how.... And now we have decided on a system, I started building this thing then, the reservoir, manifold, Scrog Screen, Upper Scrog, Drainage System.... and testing them... running all my lines to 5 gallon buckets to measure the output..... running it time and time again with different pumps and different intervals, then when i got the volume worked out i
Ran it through pots of pro mix and yes coco was tested... lets see... I vegged in round, Square, Plastic and fabric pots then Air Pots.... and the air pot was messy as hell till i fixed that..... After all that, I sat down with a calendar and developed the Plain..... 1.4 EC was max and i took the cuttings from .5 to 1.4 EC the max next time unless the plants tell me otherwise will be 1.2..... so a few days before Christmas I was ready, I mentioned to a friend here that i had my shit together.... He Said go for it girl.... so i Did just that...I have changed directions in this grow like pro mix to coco...... From November to December 25 I'm super busy hosting a charity dinner Christmas Party for under Privileged Kids.... I get lots of help but its a tone I have to do still.... and i work 45 hours a week but i tested that system on a constant basis until the 26 of December I ask questions all the way through making the plain and you guys were there with answers!! I have been flexible but for the most part i just followed the plain using a system, That by that point I Knew inside and out...... I built that manifold 6 times before i figured out the flow... Pressure, Volume and Timing... The rest you can read about..... Thank you all very much from the Bottom of my heart.... For all the Help, Advise, Post and to those that have read along quietly thank you too.....

Hey Aspen, It's we who are thanking you. You showed many of us a good way. Not DTW or Gavita or Little Giant pumps necessarily. You showed to value of preparation, hard work, adaptability, creativity and the willingness to dare to bigly. Ok, more overblowness. It's what I do. But it's true. All the stuff in that big post above, that's what I want to be doing. As i said before, couldn't care less what gpw number you come up with. I just care about what I learned. You should just care about where the hell you leave your bong as you enjoy the fruits of these three months.

Take care, and I mean that literally. I wouldn't have the gumption to grow in your legal environment. Do take care,

Ona

not enough new growers research enough before just jumping in thinking it's so simple to grow good bud. and then get all kinds of problems they think are just par for the course of growing. over all my years of growing I have learned that environment is most important over all. over nutes, additives, method of growing, etc... good genetics in shitty conditions = shitty buds. decent genetics in great condition have a great shot at being all they can be. it's a constant learning process, that's what I like about it. it makes me laugh when people say their method is best or whatever nutes are best or fall victim to sales tactics. the sooner one realizes they are not nearly as bitchin as they want to appear to be, they will begin growing as a grower...
sorry for the ramble.
good job so far, drying and curing are just as import as growing. now don't fuck it all up now! jk haha!
