Everyones welcome to reply to this post. Is my first grow ever(finally state mj legal), started with 3 and 2 were males, so down to 1 now. It spent almost 5 weeks in the aerogarden and now is in a tent to flower. Using buckets with 4 out airpumps and 4 airstones, general hydro nutes, cannazyme, I did use superthrive for vegging, and botanicare sweet and humbolt gravity(just started using it last week). I am thinking about 3 to 4 weeks till she is finished? Is bagseed, blue goof? So, here she is, comments welcomed.

Setup
Aerogarden, to clone and veg, with a couple cfls on side.

Tent(4x4x6.5), 90 watt ufo, 100 watt T5 and 150 watt sunsystems hps. Last week bought another 150 watt sunsystems hps, so now 2. 4 inch vortex fan with airscrubber, air purifier with UV to kill any bacteria, small fan, pumps etc.

Here is week 4 and 5, this is before moving to the tent.
Once it hit the top of the AG lights, I decided to expand and get a tent, the smell was taking over and I had to do something, plus the roots were so large they were trying to come out of the AG.

Here is week 5 1/2, 1 week in the tent, with a 150 watt hps only and a few cfls.
I broke the top off the main cola, grrrr, can see the top on the right, tried to clone it.

This is it for now, this is from the past few days (week 9 from the time the seed sprouted). All the upper buds are almost the exact same height and seem to be maturing at the same rate, I have 8. Currently they are about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches wide, about 4 to 5 inches long, nice and packed. I just put a female purple budah into the same tent, so is reason I went with another 150 watt hps, so I can lower the light. I have 3 other plants in the AG, 2 brain warps and a clone now, just sprouted a feminized moby dick too. I want to get to 6 plants at a time.

Here are the latest pics from last night, getting small spots on leaves, dunno if it is normal or not.
Now the purple buddha has grown some with the 2 weeks of 12/12 and can be seen in the background, is about 16 inches tall now.
The girl in this post, has about 3 week I think? First time, so I have no clue, just been checking the trichs and they are all clear.
I am glad it is not ready yet, since it means the buds will get bigger! If I can get 3 oz from her, I'd be a happy camper, with the 8 tops now and one is double, it should produce a nice amount. It wasn't intentional though. Using the 90 watt ufo in it now, trying to get to the lower buds, some are really well developed and could get a 1/2 to 1 oz from them if lucky.

Right now I am using a 150 watt hps over the big plant, a 2 foot 4 bulb T5 HO fixture and a 90 watt ufo. This isn't going to be my normal setup, I have the extra lights since I don't have a veg tent setup. Not sure of my future setup, but the t5 will prob go into a small tent for vegging. I like to have the additional side lights to get into the dark spots, I was using some cfls, but was a pain moving them everytime I needed to do anything.

She should have less than 2 weeks, tried a small bud off lower branch(tasted a little like fruit loops lol) and was great, right to the face, so the upper buds should be even better. I may have to start flushing next week, I'm still having problems seeing if the trichs are cloudy or clear, I think they are cloudy now. Many of the hairs are turning red and the buds are super sticky.

Using GH micro and bloom, botanicare sweet and humbolt gravity. Have 8 airstones in bucket. Keeping ppm at 1200 now, was the reason the spots, my ppm was too high.

The other plant turned hermie, is still alive and over 24 inches tall and budding nice, I think turned from root issues, I fixed that, but seen male signs shorty after. I removed it from the tent and stuck it in water in back yard, is still doing great, so may grow it out, I pulled the balls off. 4 days in a bucket of water with no airstones or anything, so I may plant the buddha in the ground. Already has some nice buds on it and appears to be doing really good.

It is about 6 1/2 weeks into 12/12, so I am going to start flushing tonight or maybe in the a.m. Hoping to get 3 to 4 oz from her. Will flush with floraclean and botanicare sweet and stop all the rest of the nutes. Trichs right now are all cloudy, with a few amber ones, so is pretty close to harvest. First time I have ever been so happy about a plant lol. I haven't had good luck with the others I have going, one was a hermie in pic above, I pulled off all the pollen sacks I could see and have been going over it ever other day, but I don't have it in the tent, don't want to risk it. I have a purple buddha clone, finally took root and is looking pretty good, but has a way to go, also have a brain warp from seed that hasn't done well due to isses with root rot in the aerogarden, is all under control now, but may have been too stressed from that. So it all falls right now on this one. Hopefully the one gone hermie will turn out good by pulling off the sacks, has about a month left on it and is 27 inches tall.

Put into final flush today, I figure she has about 9 days left, I noticed in past few days though a change, the buds went from honey sticky to a sort of dry sticky and smell has changed some, a little less fruity and more of a weed smell. Also, the buds seem to be getting even harder than before with no give. Here is a couple pics from today just before the water change.

Thanks, Never tried growing before, in fact just became a medical mj patient a few months ago and didn't even smoke before April. I have in that time discovered mj is like fine wine, there are so many different types and highs, I've tried probably 50 different strains in the past few months, diesel being one of my favorites. I did test a small bud off the lower branch that wasn't quite ready and was very potent and had a good fruity taste, so the actuall buds should be super.

Is Blue goo, should be called fruit loops lol smells fruity like candy, came from bag seed.

Breeder's Description - 'Blue Goo'

Maybe one of the best scrog strains on the market today! Wonderful Blueberry flavor crossed with the awesome power of G13. High is very powerful and sometimes trippy that leads to a solid peaceful couch lock
