So here is what is going on at the moment with my first grow. Mainly looking for advice on how much longer these have to go and also if everything is okay with the one that hasn't budded much yet. Approx day 55 of flowering. we're under a 400w hps in 14l coco hempys with vitalink coir bloom.

Mango...

Has had big colas formed for the longest now and haven't seen much change recently. the pungent ripe mango smell has faded somewhat since earlier in flower. just waiting for more orange hairs and some amber trichs i believe? breeder puts these at 65-70 day flower so assuming i still have a little while to go. been on ph'd water for about a week.

Tijuana

This nearly got dried out a few days ago after four days unattended but has recovered well.
Colas formed up in the last couple of weeks. very excited. breeder puts these at 75-80 days.

Mystery number one.

this and the other could be rp silver la, rp og kush#18, dna la confidential, rp sour kush/headband or dna stacked kush.
Done in a much smaller hempy. lovely structure but not any full on colas occurring. Seems to be closest to the finish line. been on ph'd water for about a week.

Mystery number two
Bit wierd. plenty of popcorn pistils and leaves but no bud mass to speak of yet. super long flowering time?
It absolutely drinks compared to the two indica plants. Really not sure what strain this might be as it's much more sativa than the strains germinated and most of them had an 8 week flower time.
lots of 3 pronged leaves up the stems and mostly been curled up for a long time.
i do wonder if there is actually enough growing medium and light available for the multistemmed monster this plant has become.

The following three shots are of a mango bud i snuck out a couple of days ago to test dry as drying is also completely new to me...

Looks like we got the same freebie seed?!?
What's with the mystery plants? did you mix up your seeds?

I got the same strains all as freebies from my last order.
I was not looking forward to the Blimburn seeds, but I am starting to change my mind!

Looks like you are on schedule with your grow. They don't look done. The breeders' timeframes (2+ weeks) all sound good for your plant. Just track them over time. I would like to see them swell some more, including Mystery Plant #1.

Mystery Plant #2 looks like it could be a monster to control! I got a small grow box, but want to grow a sativa-dom hybrid, and I am apprehensive of running out of room!

yup the reserva privada/dna lot all got jumbled up and only 2 actually produced good seedlings. the blimburn seeds have turned out really interesting. by the looks of their spanish website they're actually quite standard genetics (c99, critical, haze mostly and with a few special hybrids of their own. the tijuana definitely had a bit of pineapple about it during the start of flower which is pretty c99. none have been proper skunky and the smell has been very manageable.

excited for chopping so i can make a start on the tga jack skellington that the freebies came with.

I would start to count flowering from when the buds form as opposed to counting from 12/12.
I'm on week 4 feeding schedule for 12/12 but am at 2 weeks flowering. It sucks to have to wait the two extra weeks
