Hiya -BG- Thanks, we keep on rolling here. We see what is coming with these. Looking good so far. Some issues can be seen in some leaves, but not worried though, because everything else looks good.

Here is pictures day 24 12/12.

Mikado #1 & #2 behind, accidentally broke its main stem:

Brainstorm #2 :

What do u expect the finish time on the brainstorm to be?

[Herbal extasy]

Since its started budding very same time with WWxBB, I would expect max 10 weeks in 12/12. Definately not 12 weeks, which Nirvana NLxHaze took, but is Brainstorm DP's version of that classic, is another question, which cannot answer yet. They claim it should be, but... 7-9 weeks sounds very short bloomtime for NLxHaze.
Oh, 1 of 5 hermied in flower. Friend still have original bitches blooming at their last weeks... Not unexpected, but not so radical hermie% as warned.
2 Phenos by looks. One with longer node interval and one bushy with shorter node interval.

Fuc**d up WWxBB budshots, maybe next week then.

5 week 12/12 behind, other WWxBB seemed little unhappy. Ph was dropped down to 4. So I pumped up Ph with just plain tapwater, which is alkaline. Nutes change tomorrow. This bitch was happy with GH chart formula, you know using 3 bottles, but seems to not like even half lucas.

Looking good mate! Damn trichy Brainstorm, SWEET! So 4 or 5 weeks to go? Can't wait to see!

Hopefully she will get used to half lucas or whatever!

Brainstorm #1 then decided to form some nanners! Changed situations to plain water and hope to flush most nutes off before chopdown. Picked up those nanas off which I could see, but...

DP... Hermie and runt galore indeed.
