..keeping an eye on you buddy, nice first grow, keep doing just what you're doing!Thanks! I'm hoping these buds turn out as frosty as yours.
Yeah, I meant 1600. I wrote that post at 3 AM that's my excuse

I'm on the fence. I plan to flush for 2 weeks but I read a lot of conflicting information. I'd rather not smoke those chemicals

Knew this would start something. Each to their own but guess I could experiment with one out my 3. What do you recommend?

Day 45
Fuckin Nanners
That's on the IB, I clipped a piece of the bud off that had the banana and didn't see anymore, I'm hoping I won't see too many seeds.

So my PPM for the IB read 2200ppm with the runoff when I fed it straight filtered water 
Also had a huge episode of yellowing leaves, looking crazy. I'm thinking I used too much liquid KoolBloom, from what I understand that stuff is pretty aggressive. The Critical is still perfect with only a handful of yellowing leaves. That strain is starting to show some purple, I'm gonna start watering it with the cold tap water (~30 degrees outside)
To fix the IB problem, I took it out of the tent, put a grate over another 5 gal bucket and kept feeding it straight water. After doing this, filling the bucket about 3/4 full I put it back and tested runoff. 900PPM, lower than what I'd like but better than 2200. Next time I'll be much more mindful of the PPM and such. Found possibly one more nanner but I think it was just from the stress of the nutrient burn so late into flower.
Day 51!
Incredible Bulk
Critical Kush
It needs to be watered, that's whats up with all the drooping.
Not the fattest buds, but considering the issues I ran into I'm glad they're as big as they are.
Gonna check trichs tomorrow, but IB is supposed to be a 55-60 day strain? I counted on a week past that but I might need to chop early if I find more bananas.
Anyway that's where I'm at!

Looks good! if these are the trikes on the bud and not the Sugar Leaf than that would be close for me ?
wish I could remember how long IB took but I just started writing things down about six months ago, but I do think it was fairly consistent with eight weeks

So started chop last night but couldn't finish it. Got about 2 3rds of a plant left to chop. So much better than first grow. Looks a good haul and some fat juicy buds

Not used seedsman but I just kept it simple and didn't overwater. Should of trimmed more but live and learn

You're a soil grower right? If so look into adding lime (+mag) to your soil to eliminate low PH issues, and also most cal-mag issues [Hint: add it slowly, 1 tablespoon at a time and adjust as pH required]
I don't know about your growing conditions but it's possible that stress cause those Nana's, recommend you get a popular Three Part like GH or foxfarm and use all three as directed on the label for best results until you get a better understanding of nutrients in general for best results, hope this helps good luck!

Day 59!
Some trich shots,
First is the Incredible bulk in the middle of the bud, I think the second is the CK, third is definitely the CK from the top of the bud
Still new to this Trich spotting thing, halp
The Critical Kush started purpling late into flower, I've been using cold water when I feed it to try and bring out more purple, so far it's working.
Critical Kush - Longer colas, buds seem denser
Incredible Bulk - Fat, shorter buds
I did what I probably shouldn't have and grabbed a sampler, one of the smaller branches off the Incredible Bulk. Currently drying it now, I struggled to find information on what would happen if I harvested a single branch early. Did a little wet trimming, probably won't be what I'm doing for the entire plant
Drying room - Small closet with a hanger at 40% humidity, 65 degrees F. No air current so I'll be adding a fan. Trying to raise humidity without adding a humidifier.
Put the fat part on a scale just for fun, weighed out to 19.8Gs wet
