Just read through this whole thread over the course of a couple hours. Like your style man, would like to see some pics of the nice cured bud if you had any lying around.

I will see if I can dig up some pics. If not you may have to wait 5 weeks for some new pics :)

Any updates LED? I am really curious how your new nutes worked out. I have used aptus the last 2 runs and have been happy, but am always wondering. Hope all is well.

sorry, been really busy!! lots going on in my life right now on top of this.

I'm going to be choppin next week but it didn't turn out as good as last time. Mostly my fault for not spending the amount of time needed in the beginning training. Plus I have a feeling last round the Fascillitor did actually slow down stretch as this round they grew about 1' taller and the last couple weeks plants have been falling over.

Will I have the same weight? Not sure? Buds are definitely smaller, but because of the extra length there is allot more bud sites. So "A" buds are smaller because the plants energy got divided into too many bud sites or "B" nutes this round weren't as effective or "C" a combo of both????

Also another factor that I can't tell until final dried weight is the buds are way smaller, but are they more dense? If they are more dense then I just may end up with the same weight as last time as last round my buds lost quite a bit of weight from wet to dry.....

I will tell you this, this round I have WAY MORE resin on my buds than last time! Looks like a snow storm in there compared to last time.

Once I have final dried weight I will asses what I will do for the next round. If I'm close to the same weight this round that tells me my buds were more dense this round. In that case I will most likely use the same H&G Nutes for next round, but make sure my training is on point and I will most likely incorporate Fascillitor at least until the end of stretch as I do believe that product reduces stretch and also really "stacks" the plant when applied in double dose 3 times a week first 3 weeks of flower.

if I have way less weight this round then I will most definitely go back to my aptus routine I did last round and just add my CX Express Headmasta and Superior Potash for an extra bump in PK that I think the plants need when only feeding Aptus once a week.

I'll keep you guys posted on how things go. Thanks

Looks great, I think your first run looked a little better but congrats on both. How are you liking your iPonic? I installed mine about a month ago and it has already caught a misfire on the lights once and low CO2 twice. Basically already paid for itself!

so finished trimming today. definitely a let down, I'm guessing with the increased stretch came extra branch growth!! So instead of each plant having 15-20 branches, those branches grew about 5 branches each as well. Plus the extra 12 inches of growth = a million bud sites!!! Just way too many bud sites which ended up making a TON of small shit!!!:wallbash: Filled up all 3 of my big screens which should be right around 4.5# Threw away a TON of small undeveloped larf....

Next round I will run Aqua Flakes again with Epsom Salt, I will run Fascillitor during veg and first 3 weeks of flower where I will run double dose 3 times a week to keep these bitches from stretching again!!!! If theres something I learned you can definitely over train your plants. SO next round I will spend less time training during veg and more time pruning during stretch in flower. Should make for some decent sized cola's. I will run Aptus once a week the rest of flower along with OG Biowar Tea. On just base days during flower I will run Headmasta and Superior Potash to give the plants the extra PK they need that I think Aptus doesn't provide when running it once a week..... I believe with all this this should bring my results at least back to 6.5# or greater.

I will say this, these girls were super sticky this round, CRAZY sticky!!! Double the frost of last round.

Onto my next problem, noticed something this morning when I went into trim. My veg light timer must have been malfunctioning the past 2 weeks and my plants have been getting allot less light!!!!! FML!!! I see small flowers developing on them! I unplugged the timer and pluged in my T5 lights directly into the wall for 24hr light. WIll the plants transition back into veg or am I fucked??? Thanks boys

They'll start to veg again, no worries there. Though it might set your schedule back a week or so.

Also, why toss the larf? Don't you make hash?

You should be fine, just make sure you're giving them grow nutrients and hit them with 24 hours of light for a week or so. Transition to 20/4 for a little while after that, then return to your normal veg schedule. It might delay things a little bit, but they won't be "stuck" flowering.

Also, don't throw your larf away! Make it into oil!

How do you like your iPonic? I'm in love with mine!

Thanks guys. Good to hear that my veg girls will be ok!!!

Ive never got into making hash but it's something I'd like to learn one day. I had to be done trimming yesterday. If I kept the larf I'd be trimming all day today as well!! Just no time right now :(

Iponic is really good!!! Couldn't have done without it!!

I've never made hash, but at least with oil, you wouldn't need to trim any lard. You just throw it in your system and you're off.

Anyone have an idea how long it takes for these bitches to reveg?? It's been a good month now of steady 24 hrs a day of light and they still haven't reverted back to vegging yet?
