heres an update for anyone that is still interested!!!!! Im not sure exactly how far into flowering i am. Probably about 2 weeks. Here are some pics of the one that i butchered(lol) funny thing is, this is one of my best looking plants. It seems to be as healthy if not healthier than the other ones. As far as i can tell, trimming off all the fan leaves on this strain has had little to no negative effects. the ones that i havent touched look just as good, except for they stretched alot more during flowering. Maybe its too early and it will hurt yield in the end but so far my conclusion is trimming didnt really do anything. Its hard to say. But here are some pictures for your enjoyment. Please if you guys have anything to say please chime in i appreciate all feedback, positive and negative






And heres all of them together. The ones that i didnt touch definately stretched more. It seems like taking fan leaves helped with the stretching. But overall it looks like the amout of bud they will produce is based on how thick the stem is? Thats just my observation if im wrong someone please correct me.



Also 2 of them in the front that had an abnormal amount of stretching(stress?) have hermied a little bit. Ive been trying to get all the pollen sacks before they open. but i missed some and ive found some that have exploded and ive actually collected the pollen and my friend used a cue tip and put some on his maui super dog female that is 4 weeks into flowering. Hopefully we get some feminized maui super hindu. Im so excited. I mean, it sucks that some of the pollen has probably made it to the other plants and now i will have some seeds, but they are going to be feminized and with the amout of colas i have there is no way i could have inspected all of them and caught all the pollen balls. It kind of sucks but im still extremely happy with the way things are going. Please comment guys i want to know what you think

Nice looking plants.
thanks bro. This is my third grow. Ive only done a few at a time before. This time im going all out. Ive learned ALOT from this grow alone. If i could go back I would have topped much earlier. I had to go through and take at least 8 branches per just because there isnt enough room. I felt like i was wasting alot, even though im cloning most of the branches(my dome will only hold 70) and i had to throw away about another 50. It really made me realize that if i had topped at 5 nodes(instead of 10:o) i would have had a perfect canpoy and would have had to do little to no trimming to make sure every cola had enough room or light. I never thought there was such a thing as over vegging but i guess i had to learn the hard way:shock:. I have alot of good ideas for my next grow. Its definately going to be much more efficient. I really want a new strain because dont get me wrong ive harvested this hindu before and believe me it is fucking bomb but the whole stretching and hermie thing is really getting to me. I want better genes next time. I just dont know how to go about doing it. Maybe ill order some seeds

also before i think i was over nuteing them, so ive been just using water. Since they are flowering do i need to start using flowering nutes asap? or should I just keep using regualr water until they look hungry? They look pretty happy right now. How do i know when they are starving and I need to use nutes? maybe Ill just start them off with a really weak dose of fox farms tiger bloom and just use a weak dose of that every other watering. Will I know if they need more nutes? will they not look so happy? Do they look happy to you guys am I on track here? Im probably 3 weeks in my 12/12 but about 2 weeks since they showed pistils. Thanks for looking guys and i like hearing feed back so if you have anything to say please comment

If it's better genes you're after look for F1 seeds.
