just wanted so say that i added the vegged mother plant to my bloom tent. ak48 will be out of the tent within 2 weeks so i wanted to get bubblicious #2 started. i'll update with some pictures in a few days. got a new job and am feeling lazy. haha.

anyways i'm excited to get through my ak48 harvest and to watch my new addition to the flower tent start to bloom. bubblicious #2 is gonna be like medussa. i hope there is enough light available so she doesn't stretch too bad. one side gets great lighting but the other is a little covered up by the older plants. to counter i will turn my plant daily so that should help.

i put bubblicious into flower 2 days ago and she already has large pre-flowers at several nodes. stretching isn't too bad yet. she will end up being a BUSH! lol

also included is a group photo of all plants currently in flower-

the next set of pictures will show my bubblicious plant 30 days flower. i will admit i got a little scissor happy with this plant. however, she will still have massive buds. i think they'll be baseball... softball shaped. bubblicious is already more crystal laden than ak48.

last are pictures of my oldest flowering plant ak48. this plant has been a real joy to grow. i plan to do a water change tonight and allow clean water to flush my plants for 2 cycles. after the flush i will remove ak48 from the tray and set her in an empty spot in my tent to finish maturing. i plan on feeding ph corrected water with molasses when pot is dry for 10 more days. do you think this is the right time?

it has been a process. i started out with floros and soil and here we are now over probably 4 harvests. i appreciate the confidence. ultimate goal is to have (2) 3x3 E&F trays under (2) 400w hps. keep mothers and veg clones for a week-fimmed after 5th node. i get really fast growth. do you use co2? or should i check your posts/journal?

im just letting it ride. i have a friend spending the night so i'm gonna hold off on my res change-and subsequent 2 day flush. i still plan to remove AK48 from the tray and feed molasses+ROwater when needed for (10) days. IM so excited for harvest.

anybody have a good link for trimming and drying? detailed description.

my carbon filter is going on a year old and smell was beginning to take effect. my girlfriend baught one of these timed alternating glad scent thingies. lol. anyways they help a lot. pleasant smell and the alternating scents keep your nose confused

ok, i went ahead with my typical 25 day res change. i take out all plants then scrub the bottom and sides of my reservoir to remove any residue. i remove about 90% of the old water then fill with ph corrected ROwater.

the plants were not fed tonight-i want them to dry up a bit. the next two nights will be flushing to alleviate toxicity then nutrients will be applied at 15ml/gallon.ak48 will be removed from the grow tray and fed sugar water as needed for 10 days or until ready.

bubblicious is maturing very fast too. maybe another 2-3 weeks she is stinky. very pugnant sweet smell.

bubblicious #2 is looking wonderful and is stretching nicely. i have a fan blowing on her and tonight i bent any tops downward-this helped a lot. i plan to LST by bending this grow.

i plan to update with pictures in a few days after my flush.

the next set of update pictures are from my bubblicious plant. pistils are beginning to die back and lower buds are getting extremely fat and dense. very frosty

and last post will be pictures of my ak48 plant. i went to fdd2blk's thread where he tells you how much longer on your plants. he told me i needed a week until harvest-that was (2) days ago. i dont know if they'll be mature by then. oh well. she is out of the grow tray and maturing until i decide. i'm hoping for 4-5 oz off this plant.

i think ak48 has one last growth spurt to get through and she'll be toasty. chopped by the 1st -dried for up to 5 days -cured for 10... great smoke by sept 15

ok so.... i took a sample bud off my main cola. i have it in my ventilated closet about 3" away from my ballast. when dry i will sample, weigh, and squeeze for density. i did notice a lot of white hairs standing up still. trichomes appear clear to the naked eye. can i trust this technique? i feel as though my plants still need a lot more time. maybe 2 more weeks. i dunno. do short indoor flowering strains tend to ripen quickly in the last week?

Damn bro ... you should have more people paying attention to this grow . That bubblicious looks fucking great. I just bought a 600 cooltube for my 2x4x5 .....I'm scared.
i don't think anyone realizes what monsters you have there with the help of your CO2. a huge yield doesn't come out of a 2x4x5. but with this grow you certainly seemed to max it all out. good stuff. and while were on the subject ... how many plants did you stick in the tent ... is it 2 bub and 2 ak?? 4-5 off each plant is fucking impressive
