incredible bulk

Hi folks. To get to the point, I'm currently growing just one Incredible bulk plant. This plant is only 37 days into flowering. This is supposed to be a 56 day plant, seems a bit fast to me. What do you think I should do?

Only 37 days of 12/12, I've never a plant with such flowers around week 5, what's the genetic of this monster?

Breeder is Dr. Krippling Genetics are three way cross of Green Spirit x Big Bud x Super Skunk. Under a loupe I'd say 90% of trichomes are cloudy the rest are clear. I've pulled a few small lower buds off for a test, but they're still drying. Going to let it go a while longer.

This plant gets .5ml of mammoth p to every gallon of feed along with 4 ml seaweed extract .5ml H&G drip clean 1ml roots excelurator quarter teaspoon epsom salts 2ml calmag along with regular flora 3 part nutrients. I've never used mammoth p before but I'm wondering if it's that thats speeding up the flowering proccess.

Edit to add grown in coco coir in an airpot drain to waste.

A bit late for a smoke report, my friends and I love this. A strong relaxing pleasant smoke suitable for daytime and nighttime. My friends tell me to please grow more of this. I'm glad I took a couple of cuttings. A low aroma plant, could possibly get by without any carbon filtering, perfect for my living situation (block of flats) Maybe I should do a grow log??

Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd reserect this one as it's pretty much a continuation. I have been growing this same plant for a while now, continually cloning the same plant. This strain is bulletproof, it's put up with accidental over fertilisation and bounced back to health like nothing ever happened. This plant accidentally went into flower as a result of wrong timer settings, it's now started to grow healthy single leafs soon to be fully in veg stage. As you can see it will be scrogged. I'll post more next week.

A little update. The plant is now starting to grow through the screen, I spent an hour or so removing all the foliage below the screen, there was about two thirds of a carrier bag full of leafs and twigs. I have it on a 20 on 4 off schedule feeding at 1300ppm and looking nice and healthy. I'm attempting an air layer cutting on a small branch, I've never used one of these gadgets before, it'll be interesting to see if it works. I'll be taking a few extra cuttings just in case the air layering attempt fails.

Some progress pictures, growing like mad, I'm removing a lot of large leafs on a daily basis trying to keep control. I'll be switching to 12/12 very soon.

In my converted wardrobe I have some small steel hooks screwed in at various strategic places so that I can train the branches with elastic bands in order to better fill the scrog screen.

Good luck on the air layering.
It's not that hard, really.
I used cotton wool soaked in rooting hormones, wrapped around a node with leaves cut off, held in place with some regular tape.
A week or two later, roots, can cut and plant.
Air layering is nice and efficient, because while the roots are forming, the branch is still growing!

My air layering was a failure. I opened and inspected it yesterday, there was no sign of roots or callousing, probably for two reasons. The branch I selected was woody, and I failed to scratch away some of the outer layer. Next time I'll try your method.

I took 6 fresh cuttings, dipped them in rooting powder and put them in a propagator. I only need one to take.

Oh, yes, I forgot to say, scrape away a little of the outer layer.
Younger shoots / branches definitely work best.
Keep them moist.
May have to spray with a little water every day or three for that.
All the best for your next attempt!
