UPDATE: Flowering Day 61! Day 123 overall
I harvested the smallest plant on Monday or Tuesday night. I can't remember when. It was a piss pour showing and I'm not posting any pics of that shit. It's nothing you guys would care to see anyway. It gives me a heady high and I am able to operate just fine while under the influence. It's a good morning bud i suppose. I have dried it already and it's curing. I also rolled up a blunt of it tonight. Got me lifted! Anyway, that's just the warm up. These updates are drawing to a close and there will likely only be a few more before harvest and hash making. I'll be making bubble hash with the other four plants. Here's the pics from tonight. As you can see throughout this thread I have been playing with the digital white balancing. It's got a setting specifically for HPS lights. and i have been changing the tint. Which one looks the best? The ones with the kinda red background are the one's with just flash and no specific setting for white balance.
     
     
EDIT:
I think I will start the flush pretty soon. The trichomes are all still clear. A lot of the hairs have changed to orange as well, as you can see. I got like 40 gallons of distilled h20 as well. I'm all set!

UPDATE: Flowering Day 69! Day 131 overall
   
   
I started the flush on Monday night. I used distilled water and added 30 grams of carbologic. I think when i change the res again I will use just water and ph down. Several of these buds are denser than most anything I have ever seen. I can't wait to get the final weight of all this. My plan is to tear down the three smaller plants and do those then do the largest one last. I want to see the weight off that one individually. gimme another week to 10 days.......

Thanks guys! Toad, i haven't seen you around in a while. I think I will be happier once I get 2 or 3 grows under my belt. I think that the value of this crop will not equal my investment. But I have realized a few things along the way that can really help decrease my costs. I haven't really been working with a budget with this project. I have been fortunate enough to be able to purchase whatever I needed as I went along. I have learned a lot from this experience and I can't wait to do a proper grow with some great weed instead of this bagseed. What's interesting though is the fact that this bud looks like some of the dankest bud I've bought over the years. I guess that is just reflective of the care that I have put into these plants.
UPDATE: Flowering Day 75! Dave 137 overall
I got my new lens in yesterday. Unfortunately it sucks taking pictures of the plants because i need them to be a bit more stable for extreme macro photography. The lens is a 105mm f/2.8g ed-if af-s vr micro-nikkor lens. It's badass and it should be for what it cost. But I should be able to do some pretty cool shit with it as I figure it out over the next few months. It's tricky to use. I also ordered some extension tubes that increases the focal depth of the lens. This is used for trich photography from what i have gathered. I am still going to have to get a decent flash for it. But for now I have some pictures. As I checked them out right before I took these pictures I noticed some serious growth over the last 24 hours. Previously the pistils of the largest buds of the bunch hadn't even started to change to brown. Today they are very brown. Trichs are still white and I think they are just about to start turning amber. I think i mentioned already that I'd like to have 50/50 mix of milky white / amber colored trichs. I haven't really had the time to figure this macro lens out yet so please bear with me as I ride the learning curve. Hope you enjoy!
Here's a pic of the camera set up i am using (note - this isn't a picture of me.  ) I didn't take these pics with the lens hood either. As a matter of fact, i haven't even tried it yet.

UPDATE: Flowering Day 83! Day 145 overall
Thanks awakened I'm glad it's been helpful for someone else besides me. I have noticed a big change over the last 8 days. The temps have gotten much colder and during the lights on period it gets to around 70 tops about 12" from the light. Some of the buds are starting to purple up. It's not really too noticable in these pictures but it's beautiful to the naked eye. I can't wait to try this out. I give em a squeeze and they feel as dense as any i've ever had. They make my fingers all sticky with just a light touch too. i'm in love fellas. 
I was planning on having my chop down this weekend but will hold off for another 7 days or so. We'll see. This grow has lasted WAY too long. Sorry to keep everyone in suspense of the money shots. Patience please.  Doesn't look too bad for a first grow. If i do say so myself. It's taking about 7 minutes to load 3 pictures now so I will rant a bit about all this. It's letting me upload 4 mb pictures again. Weird. I've been flushing the plants since wednesday night with only distilled h20. ph'd to 5.8. The one thing that worries me about all of this is that there really is no smell. I have an air freshener in there along with a deionizer and in the day time (night cycle for the plants) i keep the door closed. When the sun goes down the lights come on and I open the door. I guess that and changing and checking the rez are the major time consumers involved. It isn't too much all things considered. I have tried not to speculate how much these 4 remaining plants will yield but seeing them today under the normal lights I was inspired. You see I went in about 10 minutes before the HPS came on and turned on the cfl to snap these pictures.

Wow! 
Fantastic! Very impressive first harvest. I love the purple leaf but It may be indicative of some type of disorder...

Thanks for following this everyone and thanks for your comments too! I will be doing another log at the end of the summer. Hopefully I can do a bit better than this one.

That discoloration was probably due to the near month that I was feeding it only H20. lol. I also think I mentioned somewhere in here that I consciously tried to get the temps down as much as I could to get some purple in the buds. It worked too.  Some of the large buds are purple on one side (the side that was facing the outside door) and the other half would be green. I thought that was pretty cool. I also have some hash that's from the scissors I trimmed with and from the bubble bags. Not nearly as much as I wanted but it's something. Thanks again guys!
