Hello Grasscity! I'd decided on a random genetics grow just before summer started, and now we are in July, and getting to 4 weeks of bud formation now. I really cannot believe the progress of these wonderful ladies! We are talkin 30 days to flower, at like maybe 10-12 weeks total grow time so far? I haven't kept perfect track, but if anything it is
less than that.
My secret? Well considering how all four of them are in a 30 gallon rubbermaid container (don't worry it has adequate drainage), with apprx 25 gallons of Eko Premium Potting soil, I mean hell I didn't even space them that well. On top of it, I've given them both Schultz 10-15-10 and 10-55-10 throughout vegging and flowering. I am very conservative, however, with my watering and feeding regime, and I have gotten a good feel for it. But in all honesty, besides this acquired "feel", I have given these ladies nothing but abuse and they LOVE IT. I mean shit, this grow I haven't even given them anything BUT tap water. Call me crazy, but I think I've just found that equilibrium between me being a lazy stoner/grower, and still growing out some amazing smoke.
Right now there are four wonderful ladies. Two are predominately indica, two are predominately sativa. Suprisingly, the most robust lady is a massive landrace sativa, that is packing on bud formations and weight like I have never seen. One of the indica's is a very large-framed lady, with a very small, dense bud formations. Already they are completely crystal laden, and have 75% amber pistils. I am just hoping for a bit more than a half-ounce from her!
It's ok though because, the other ladies will make up for it by packing on the weight. I'm expecting 3-4 ounces from the sativa.
Hell this plants genes are so robust that we cut some tops, stuck them in soil with no rooting hormone under 12/12 of flouros, and they are already fat, crystal covered tops...
Heres a shot of half the closet about 40 days ago... 
And here are the ladies now. I'll have -much- more shots in the future, especially as I get ready for the chop.
Heres a shot of the largest Indica's main kola bud. To say the least, she reaks, and looks gorgeous even though I doubt she will pack on much more...
And here are some of the main sativa pheno, and the largest of the four.
