Day 52
Looking good, the buds are continuing to grow a little bit each day. About two more weeks left for this one (3 at the upper reaches of my patience  )
Not much else to report but that she's finished her gravity treatment and will resume normal feeding for at least one more week before being prepped for harvest.
Day 8
Not so good with these ladies, not bad, but I think I'm dealing with a P problem again. I'm wondering if I locked it out, or if it's just hungry for more. My guess is a lockout because the last feeding contained a dose of kool bloom liquid as well as 4 ml's of FN bloom. So plenty of food there.
If you take a look at that pic you can see that in the new pics there's a few fans that are yellowing. The HPS exaggerates it just a bit, but it is noticeable. I think I'm going to give them one more day and then decide on what to do. Other then that I noticed the first signs of buds forming on them today so I'm pretty happy about that, hopefully I'll get this small problem sorted quickly.

Males show first, after 3-4 weeks, then usually females around 5-6 weeks.
You might have a male if you notice anything roundish this early...

Heh, that's why it's good to have a handful of plants when starting from seed. Although I know you had some difficulty with germination rates.
Hopefully you're wrong and you end up with a girl

I can never spot males by there preflowers. Females are easy enough to spot by preflowers once they're showing, but I always wind up letting the ones I'm unsure about flower for 1-2 weeks just to be sure.
Coda those buds are looking sweet!

Flushed the little ones with one quart of a clearex solution mixed at 15 ml's per gal. Decided to flush just in case and then lower the dosage. I was following magash's feeding schedule because I thought I had plants that could handle it, but I think they need to be worked up a little bit until they hit full strength.
Fed the big girl with 8 mls FN Bloom + 1/4 tsp Kool Bloom Dry + 1 tsp Snow Storm / gal. Ph was 6.2 PPM was 1500 (I'm cutting the FN down to 5 ml for the remainder of the feedings).

Day 57
Began the pre harvest process. Flushed tonight with 15 mls of clearex to 1 gal of water. The rest of the week this plant will receive plan, pH adjusted, water until harvest next saturday. I'm pretty sure I won't need to push this past 65 days, but I'll make the final call next Friday when the lights flip on. I'm not expecting much from this girl, but the buds feels solid as a rock so I'm pretty excited to see what the end result is
7 more days and counting!
Day 13
Fed tonight with 2 ml FN Grow + 2 mls FN Bloom + 4 mls Kool Bloom liquid + 5 mls Snow Storm @ 6.2 pH and 910 ppm. Plants look like they responded well to the "flush" i gave them earlier this week. Cut the dosage in 1/2 to see how they respond to it, don't think I'll push it much past 1200 anymore this run. Bud production is coming along really nicely, I'll be doing some pruning tomorrow to remove some nodes I know aren't going to produce much. This isn't something I normally do, but I want to try it out and see if it does me any good.
I'll grab some pics tomorrow, didn't feel like fucking with it tonight.

Sexed the Kushberries. 2 girls 1 boy. The one plant I really wanted to be a girl of course turned out male. From the two plants I have left I'm most likely going to keep one and flower the other (may take a cutting from that one just in case it turns out better then the mom i kept). At most I want to keep three moms in my cab so I don't have room for both.
That's 3 girls from six seeds, 50/50 ratio which isn't bad! I'd love to see them do another special like that because I'd order a few packs
Anyways, I'll update with a bunch of pics tonight when the lights flip on

Thanks bud, I think I can do much better with the next batch that's running right now. I'm most excited about the plant on the right in the first pic of the new girls. If I could get all my plants to look like that every time I will be most happy
I only wish the odor was better with this strain, pretty generic IMO. Not much to it at all and I'm fairly certain the smoke will have a pretty bland flavor as well. As long as the buds end up potent, that's all I care about.

are you feeding with molasses or any nutrient booster like floranectar? that can have a huge impact IME.
also, what's your veg light strength/schedule? I think they both look pretty good there but the one on the right is a bit bushier... which you might be able to get by using a stronger light or more hours. just brainstorming

No, but I was thinking of trying the flora nectar. I'll go pick a bottle up next weekend and use it with these girls and see if it helps. I used sweet a long while back and didn't notice much of a difference.

Light cycle is 24/0 with 4 29 watt T5 bulbs.

Actually I know why that plant is bushier then the others. It was topped and spent a week longer in veg then the other girls. She was part of an earlier clone run, so in order for the others to catch up she sat and vegged for at least a week longer. Then I topped her to keep her height even with the other clones and she bushed out like that. So, next time, I'll experiment with topping again to see if I can produce the same results. I may up my veg time from 1 to 2 weeks as well.
