Currently i am feeding strictly rain water and Tiger Bloom, waters pH is at 6.0 still with feeding water as well as the run off.
As far as how the medium is holding up, it is good. Yesterday the photo period plant i had in veg showed signs of male preflowers, it was removed and disposed of. One thing i would like to mention about him was, that he was in a one gallon planter had nine tops and all tops were above 13in. After pulling him out of the planter i was pleased to see that this 2 month old plant was not root bound at all. No circular patters of roots, middle, top, or bottom. The entire medium was consumed buy roots. This shows proper aeration through out the root system. I have always been a firm believer of a healthy root system. If you give them what they need and give them proper aeration they will reward you with healthy foliage and dense buds. I think taking care of the root system is one of the most important roles other than adequate light that are key to a successful grow and yield.
The jems medium is of the same mix, after she is done i will post a pic of her root ball.

I hear ya, i had my folks in for a suprise visit this weekend so i too have been running around crazy..
Ill have to do a photo shoot for you on the next update. Ill get you some up close shots so you can get an idea of what she is really doing. I checked her this morning to water and she is filling in nice and the resin seems to be coming right along, shes giving me some small sugar leaves
And thanks for the kind words i really appreciate it Mossy, that coming from you means tons, and now i know what K+ means!
I really like this forum, i have intentions to stick around here. These autos are amazing and i really enjoy growing them.

6 Weeks
6 Weeks
From seed.
Dense and hairy and starting to mature. All i can say is yum
She has been on a flush cycle now for 5 days. I choose to flush a few weeks over time rather than heavy amounts all at once. Giving the plant and the roots time to adjust to the water change. I am not a fan on heavy flushing near a harvest. I want the plants to be free of all ferts however before i harvest. I like to follow things to a t, the pack i received said 9 weeks thats what my goal is, unless she continues to do what shes doing and swell and finish fast.
So i begin my flush as far as three weeks out from the recommended harvest date. If she needs to go longer than great! she can continue to feed off her self till she is ready. Not only does this allow her to finish like mother nature intended, shell taste even better than you can imagine. Or at least i think so.....

Yep really hairy. Glad to hear about the purp, thats always exciting. I havent seen any really color change except for some fade due to me flushing. Shes forming nice and swelling every day. I see less and less leaves and more buds. Its a site to see

yeah, looking good!
great plants man!!
thanks guys i appreciate that!!
its sad to say but at the same time a good thing that she is coming to an end. All the time was well spent and shes healthy. She has began to fade due to my flushing so she is taking in all the stored sugars she had left to finish.
I forgot to mention something. I tested the sample last night...
Sweet, Smooth, and Cerebral. After clearing the bowl i it took about a min to set in. I was expecting this as she was immature, and airy. So i didn't expect a hit to the dome right away. It progressed quickly and when i decided to stand i felt a nice rush. If this is any indication of what the mature tops are gonna be like then, Im gonna have to hold on as they are way more covered in sugar than what i tested....
The sample was pulled at 5 week one day. Tested after 3 days to dry 4 days in the jar...

It is the Afghan dominance.
I learned ages ago to take afghan down at only 10% amber..
it works Brilliant for Meds..
Glad it worked so well for you too.
Good Tip to remember if you are desperate for a smoke.
How long do you think now before full harvest...?
have a great weekend m8...

i figure that was the afghan in her. Had a taste of a full afghan a few months back and it had similar taste/effect. All right in the head. Nice fuzzy feeling. Mine Just didnt last long or kick hard as it was a young bud, but great representation of what she is about to do....
just about two more weeks i would say. She is starting to fade really good, and her trics are cloudy. Using her stored energy well. I have been flushing for well over a week headed towards two now. I like to make sure that all salts/nutes are gone from the soil. If she is fading that means than they are leaving which will not only improve taste but enhance the smell.:yay:
again my friend, thanks for the awesome genetics and your input to all of this.
have a good weekend
