Over 3 oz per female. They grew to over 4 feet tall and loaded with DANK sticky bud. Wicked buzz, my friends still ask me about that weed.

I am glad to see that someone else has grown this strain and liked it, its really reasureing. Anyways I changed my plants into some plastic cups instead of those bowls for better root development so thanks for the tip man. I also had to change my lights because mine just stopped working on me for some reason. I now have 2 150w CFL's and I surrounded them with those bags for reflective material ( which really works by the way). I had a little trouble with the temp at first because the heat that they put off but now everything is all good. Plants #5 and #6 sprouted today so I guess VICS SUPER SOIL is ok for seedlings. The #1 plant is about 6 days old and the other are 5,4, and 3 days old. The #1 plants leaves are about 2 inches wide, the #2 plants leaves are about 1 3/4 inches wide, the #3 plants leaves are about 1 1/2 inches wide and the #4 plants leaves are bout 1 inch wide. None of them stant taller than 3 inches.There are 2 pics of each plant, one right after another. Also the #2 plants leaves look like they have some different color to them dont they? Anyways here are some more pics of my new grow area and ladies. Later

Oh and one more thing to ask, what would be better, 10 150w CFL's or 1 1000w HPS?Because I heard that it realy doesnt matter about watts its more about lumens and these 150w lights only give off 2700 lumens per lamp. I heard that you need 10,000 lumens per plant in order to grow some huge buds, is this true?

1000W HPS - hands down. Forget CFL's for flowering - you need the high output lumens to get them flowering to their full potential.

P.S. Your seedlings are looking good and healthy. Just veg them for no less than 4 weeks and you'll be giddy at harvest.

Yeah cool man, I am going to veg for about 8 weeks ( or until they get too big HAHA). Also I have the 1000w light that I am going to put them under in about 11 days to veg and then flower ( it is a switchable system). I appreciate the info., plus I thought I had the right thing going with the 1000w light instead.

i told you this before and ill say it again veg..veg...veg i know your anxious to flower and so am i if i waited to months to flower so can you
i got faith in you

p.s ill pst mad pics soon and show all of you how its done with massive veg

[NYSD]

Dont worry everyone, I am not going to do anything prematurely, I am going to veg for 8 weeks. It takes about 9 weeks to flower according to highgrade. First I've got to find my mother and then its 8 weeks for veg., 9 weeks to flower and then no less than a month for cureing process. But once its all done I should have some super buds. If anything changes before next saturday I will post pics of what I changed, otherwise I will give more pics in a week. Later

Hello everyone here is an update. The #3 plants leaves are the biggest now, all of the plants look great, although my #1 plants leaves look funny, the tips of the leaves are pointing strait down toward the soil, the color of the leaves are lighter than the other plants but still very bright green and healthy looking. Maybe I over watered her? Will have new pics on Saturday. Later

Hey everyone here are some new pics of my ladies. The average hight for plants 1,2, and 3 are about 2 1/2 inches tall and about 4 1/2 - 5 inches wide. The number 4 plant is about 2 inches tall and 4 inches wide, #5 and #6 are about 2 inches tall and 2 inches wide. #2 and #3 are the biggest of the six plants. #1 plant is 2 weeks old today, #2 is about 13 days, #3 is about 11 days old, #4 is 10 days and the #5 and #6 are 1 week old today. They are looking very happy and healthy, and I cant wait to move them under my 1000w light and in the 5 gallon pots.There are 3 pics of each plant. Here are plants 1,2 and 3. Anyways, here are the pics, I will load some more next saturday. Later

Hello to all, i have now changed my grow room for the 1000w light and placed my plants into there permanent homes ( on wednsday). My #1 plant had to cut the leaves because that was my test plant for my new light to see how close I could get with the light and it got burned a little but she is still alive. My light is about 2 feet away from the plants and the grow room is 75 degrees. Here are a series of pics for your delight. The photos start with plant #1 and go on through to #6, there are 3 pics of each plant. The first pics are of the grow room, the burnt leaves off of plant #1 and my new gaurd dog Maximus ( American Bulldog) sleeping on duty. And please tell me what you guys think of my grow so far.

Plants #1-#3. Oh and another thing is that plants #2-#4 are about 4 1/2 inches tall and about 7 1/2-8 inches wide. The #3 plant has 3 top leaves instead of only 2 like all the others (wierd). Another thing is that they stink so good of a sweet skunky smell. I dont have a carbon filter yet because I didnt think that they would start to smell yet, noobie mistake I guess. All the plants are 3 weeks of age and under, #5 and #6 are 2 weeks of age and there about 2 1/2 inches tall and 4 - 4 1/2 inches wide. #6 is bigger than #5 by about 1/2 an inch but they sprouted on the same day.
