That turned out great RM, do you reckon the purple that's showing on the calyxs are genetic or due to cold temps?, looks awesome

Thanks for the kind remarks. It seems genetic. from my observation the purple seems to be appearing most where the surfaces get more light. F13 seems to purple the same way, I think of roasting marshmallows in comparison. The backsides of the colas that are shaded are mostly green tones yet. Temperatures are 75-79 F. in the day, 69 F. at night. On another note, the more airy looking plant (#1) seems to be tightening up as if an air pump was attached to it! It is getting much more dense then i would have expected. They are now down to about 400ppms and pH at 6.2 for #1 and 400ppm ph 5.9 for #2 in coco. I'm very impressed with the vigor of these plants. They seem fairly mite resistant and willing to grow even though their root systems are inadequate. Every plant I've pulled so far that suffered the same conditions as these over the summer have had a rootball the size of the original 4 or 6" pots. I'd love to see the results with a proper upbringing! More pics soon, we're only 8 weeks and a few days in so far.

looks killer great job!

Well, #1 is starting to get fall colors and #2 is really flushed out now so they are closing in on the final stretch now.

Looks fantastic, great job RM! Just read a few minutes ago, that Brainstorm Haze is in the Top 10 Strains 2008.

Here's a couple more shots a little closer in. The trichome's are starting to fill in more now as they cover the calyxes and stretch, but it'll be a little longer yet before they are done. glands are still about 50% clear...with the exception of some of the stalks that are getting purple from within. Have a good weekend!

Very good grow RM! Have you sampled any bud-lettes yet?

Peace, Mosca

Congrats Ed on your top reviews from HT!

I thought I'd add these just for fun. Congratulations on the top 10 guys!







I cut a branch off of #2 yesterday. I'll give an update when she's ready to burn!

Those are just mouth-watering pics there RM! Absolutely amazing pics. You're right, she is almost too pretty to chop down. These pictures remind me so much of JLP's photo of OTM with the crazy foxtailing protruding out the entire length of the cola. Just a fantastic job all around! I smell a photo of the month nomination coming

Those JLP pics are the first thing that came to my mind as well. I broke down and quick dried a partially dry bud and got pretty damn high; not stoned, high! I found it relaxed my body but kept me motivated, yet a little dreamlike. It kept getting stronger over a 15 minute period as well,(I got the giggles at this point)! When I can get more of these beans, I will! I should add the #1 plant has been slower to fully develop trichomes, but they are filling in well now, even though the plants alreadylook pretty well done. I think i stopped nutes a week too early. I'd love to see how these yield when grown properly start to finish.
