Woops, a little late on the updating. Got home and did some drinking and forgot lol.
I guess she first was sexed just 4 days ago, which means this is growing quite a bit faster than I thought.

One out from under the HPS which fucks up colors:
This is the format I'm going to try to follow throughout my updating, so long as I remember to. 
I think I'll call this week 1 of flower, even though I put it under last week. I always like to count once the flowers start rather than the day I put them in.

Updating today because I updated the outdoor. I like to do them both on the same day to keep shit in check.
My hand is stupidly unsteady today, so I couldn't manage to get an out of the HPS shot...the other 2 came out alright.
No complaints, other than a more significant amount of stretch now.  Might be my own fault, but I'm not sure how.

Load them up on nitrogen and carbs if you feel like they are too spread out. They'll fill up nicely. Maybe add some extra lights and let her flower a little longer than normal. She'll bulk right up.
Looks like a good plant to me though. Head stash material for sure.

I have these pretty tight up to the HPS. I have been feeding kinda lightly so I'm assuming thats why it stretched a lot. I burned the fuck out of my last grow because I got careless and I just really wanted to avoid it this time around.
I was going to look into getting some bushmaster, but I just haven't had the money or time to get to the hydro store.
Hopefully I'll have a Greenhouse Lemon Skunk and some Northern Lights coming up soon under the 400w. Its getting a lot cooler now and I'm stoked to jump right in to growing this winter. It makes the terrible blizzards seem a lot less terrible.

I got one from under the HPS today. I charged up my camera battery and could finally sit down with the plant in some natural light and get a semi-OK picture.

Live with snow your whole life and it's horrible. Takes so much longer to get places. Everything is more dangerous! "slipping breaking legs.. driving anywhere. It's freezing cold. Snow is horrible!

Yeah. Its fun and neat for the first month or two. But once you start to get 8 feet of it in your lawn and you forget what grass looks like its terrible.
There is no feeling like that winter time depression that sets in about February/March. Everything just seems so hopeless.
You'll never truly appreciate something as simple as dragging the trash can to the curb through the lawn until you've had to spend 20 minutes bundling up, another 5 digging the garbage can out of the snow bank, another 5 wrestling it to the middle of the driveway, another 45 shoveling the driveway out, another 5 to drag it down, and then another 20 to warm up once you get back inside 
--------------------
Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

Updizate. I was trying to go lightly on the nutes this time, and have gone too lighly because shes got a slight magnesium deficiency. I fed her yesterday so everything should be caught up and OK again within the next week or so. It has been hot as fuck and real humid here the past few days too, so that really isn't helping. Cold front is coming in Friday.
I see the curly leafs, I'm working on fixing it  Its not a ph thing, its because I haven't been feeding her much. Shes asking for more, shes getting it.
At least the stretch seems to be filling in.

Woops, been busy this week.
I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me or my camera or what it is, but I can't seem to take a decent picture anymore. My hand is just super unsteady or something. I want to get a picture in some natural light but its just not cooperating.
Some dead leaf tips which I have addressed accordingly. None of the new growth has it (and they aren't any worse than last week) so I think its all adjusted correctly.
Maybe I'll try a different camera next week. Its pissing me off that you can't see how neat the crystals look on this plant.

Week is up~ Nothing too significant, just aging. I think maybe I'll give her a little gravity next week.

Iced Grapefruit Week 6 [Re: A To The K]

Finally starting to turn hairs. Trichs getting cloudy under the scope. I'm thinking 3 more weeks on her will be perfect.
I managed to get 2 pics I liked under the HPS this week, and one semi-decent one out from under it. On harvest day I'll bring her out into the natural light and get some good ones.
   
Got a semi-heavy feeding today, flush next watering, 2 consecutive feedings of Gravity, flush, maybe one last heavy feeding and then flush through harvest.

Little bump to this thread. I just found out the FemaleSeeds has its own forum. I was searching for foxtailing on this particular strain because mine has really started to foxtail in a few places.
Everyone there said that this strain has a few phenos that will stretch like crazy, I guess thats the one I got.
Also, from what I'm gathering, there is an 8 or so week pheno and a 10 or so week pheno (the 10 being a nice indica). From what I'm seeing here, I think I have the 10 weeker. This would be week 7, and its definitely not going to be done next week. First week of November at the earliest.
I'm thinking chocolope and kushage are up next.

Alright. Update time.
Shes getting into the autumn of her life and has dropped off a significant amount of her fan leafs...probably because I forgot to supplement with some Grow Big for the last 2 weeks...fuck, my bad. Its OK, shes still looking very nice.
This is week 7 already? Well I'm gonna guess she has anywhere from 2-3 weeks left. Leaning to 3, but maybe she'll be ready in 2. Trichs will tell.
Oh! Picture 2 is supposed to show her foxtailing. Shes starting to do it all over her colas. Number 5 shows her shine exceptionally 
    
I forgot to give her some gravity...I'm not sure if I want to bother at this point. I might give her a single feeding of it, but this time next week I'm starting to flush.

Week 8. A lot of people harvest these now, but its definitely not done. Mostly cloudy trichs, still some clear. Oddly, a lot of the stalks have seemed to lose their tops which is weird to me. I haven't been handling it a lot or anything.
I know that some of the tips are burned, I guess I haven't flushed it recently. My bad, I'm on it today. But to be honest I kinda thought it might be done this week so I've been neglecting it a bit.
Instead, I gave it a dose of Gravity because the trichs aren't even close. She'll get one more this Thursday or Friday, and then nothing but water until its done.
I'm thinking probably 10 weeks, so 2 weeks from now.
Note the foxtailing on this strain.

I've started noticing amber trichs this week, as well as significant calyx swelling (from the gravity?) so this week will begin flushing and harvest will either be Friday or sometime next week.
