ahh good call. I top all my plants at least once, but it's usually just a result of me taking a clone from them. regardless, it definitely makes for bushier, fuller plants!
And I highly recommend the molasses. I have no experience with floranectar (although I hear it does VERY well for flavor and smell) but molasses is indispensable in my opinion. I can usually notice an increase in flavor within a day or two after the first feeding

Really? I bought some black strap for the end of my AK x Diesel run and it didn't seem to do much for me. Still have that jar sitting in the pantry.

hmmm, maybe it's strain dependent. Or totally placebo, like I wanted them to get more stinky

haha well, 206 said his LA's were low odor as well. So maybe it's just the strain. Have the kushberries coming up next which I hope will give me what I'm looking for in that department

Yeah I can vouch for the molasses. Within hours of flushing with water and molasses my skunks have been putting off waves of stink. It's amazing, but almost stinky enough to be concerned about. I've been giving it to them for a few weeks, and every time I do they just reek to high hell!
Lookin perfect Coda BTW

Well, it didn't do anything for me when I used it. With just a few days left and possibly one more watering don't think it will do anything this time either. Maybe I'll add it in for the other girls which are going right now to try again, but as it stands molasses has just been ineffective for me.
Thanks for the complements, Saturday can't come soon enough!

Day 16
Fed tonight with 5 mls FN Bloom + 4 mls Kool Bloom Liquid + 5 mls Snow Storm @ 5.9 pH and 1040 PPM. Girls are looking much better since the flush, pushed my PPMs just a tad higher then I wanted but I think they'll be fine. I'll probably try out 4 mls of the bloom next week and see if that leaves me where I want to be. Other then that they're looking awesome and moving along nicely.
Day 60
The big girl did not get watered tonight. Seems like she's not using near as much water as her pot felt unusually heavy. So rather then drown the roots I'll hold off on the water. Don't think she'll be needing much, if any, water anymore. Harvest is just 3.5 days away so there's really not much point to it anyways.

Well, what about flushing though, won't that push out the stagnant toxic water? Have you been flushing and if so for how long? I was under the impression that during the 2 week flush you water more often then you normally would during the growth cycle. I've never really researched flushing before so I kinda have been doing it this way on my own I guess. I give them (5 Little Ladies) ~2 gallons between all of them, enough for a massive runoff mess  and it hasn't seemed to cause any rot like symptoms, but I guess my soil is really fluffy and drains very fast, like it almost doesn't hold ENOUGH water...  It's always easier to add more!

No need to do a 2 week flush with hydro. Last week is just plain water. My "flush" involved 15 mls of clearex and enough water to make a jet shoot out of the hole in the bottom. Don't think there really is stagnant water, I just think the roots aren't using up nearly as much water as they used to and the perlite is staying hydrated longer. The container felt a bunch lighter last night but I still left it be. I think she'll be fine without anymore watering.

Can't wait to see an updated picture of this. With the exception of that bottom bud it seems to be growing into one massive cola like regular LA Conf is known for. One of mine branched out a little bit but for the most part I think it will fill in similar to yours, super indica/afghan dom these ones.
The snow storm really seems to be doing the trick too, I might have to pick a little bottle up I saw it for like $11 at the store the other day. I'm jealous man, you will be smoking this stuff in no time.

The snow storm is totally worth it, and yes, it's only like 11-12$ for the small bottle. Depending on how much you water and how many plants you have, it can last a long while (5 ml is the max dose).
As for the single cola, heh, I guess the pics are a little deceptive. You'll see what I mean tomorrow after I hack away all the fan leaves. But there's some space between the main tip, then a cluster of buds in the middle, a little more space, and then a cluster of buds at the bottom.
As for the side bud, yah, it's a bit tiny but I want that kind of branching. All of the other girls running right now have the same characteristic, but the branches stretched up a little higher to compete with the main tip. My hope is the buds on those branches come close to what the main cola is. If I can do that my next harvest should be pretty sweet.
One more day and I get to post some harvest pics
EDIT: Fed tonight 1 tsp FN Bloom + 4 mls KB Liquid + 1 tsp Snow Storm @ 6.0 pH

There's the harvest pics. Total wet weight was 129 grams. Tried fooling around with the LED light to get a better picture of the resin on the plant. She really is covered, can't wait until she dries

Are you going to start any of the other crosses now in addition to the LA clones? The buds look perfect I can't wait to see dry shots and hear about how it smokes.

well, I thought I was gonna be able to fit in a few kushberry clones. But after taking a look at how much room the 4 plants I have in there now are taking up, I don't think I'd be able to fit them in there. I might throw some in there anyways, but I'll most likely just wait and do a run with the kusberries by themselves.
Buds are drying nicely, think they're going to end up nice and dense. Looks like I did a pretty decent job with this plant, but I know I can do much better.
