Thanks brother!!! Yeah it's going to be a doozy for sure! I am hoping it will be as big around as a soda can and about 10 inches in length. Only 3-4 weeks give or take before I find out!

Hell yeah man your well on track, filled in so much since the last update.. hows the smell? Getting bad or is it pretty low odour?

Its starting to get a little skunky in the room that the grow box is in so I put some dryer sheets in front of my computer fans I use for exhaust and it helped quite a bit. According to Nirvana Seed Company it is a low odor to no odor strain so hopefully it doesn't get too much more smelly. As of right now though the smell isn't overwhelming or anything and is contained to just that room so good to go for now.

I don't have any hydro shops around me at all within 100 miles of me I am guessing. I will have to check that out online and see what I can get because my next grow will be Pure Power Plant which can be stinky from what I hear and also Bubblelicious Autoflower which I don't mind if that smells :-P. Thanks for the tip!!

Luckily I do. Iordered the ona gel online one time and the lid came off in transit and the postman handed me this parcel that absolutely reeked of clean toilets and says to me "did you get something smelly, it's broken " .. I never did that again

Hey Yanks,

Both of those plants look amazing! That single cola plant is looking amazing! It looks like it's going to turn into one giant bud. Sweet.

I'll be interested to see what that yields relative to the Fim'd plant.

Keep updating, I love the pics and these plants!

Thanks KsloPokerPro! They both are only about halfway thru flowering too so should turn out to be pretty awesome. I usually update every 2-3 days and put new pics up at the end of each week so keep tuned!!

Well both plants are still doing awesome and bud growth is still going good. My uncut plant has officially stopped stretching at 30 inches in height so now it can put all its energy into that giant main cola. The fimmed plant is doing very well considering it has to support 8 main buds. I will probably only fertilize one or two more times before stopping and just using plain water the last couple of weeks. Smell is contained to the grow box now since I used dryer sheets in front of my exhaust fans which seems to be working well. I will update again in a couple of days, but new pics won't be up till Friday or Saturday.

The amount of crystals (trichromes) on these 2 plants is astounding. The buds are so dense and sticky for only being 4 1/2 weeks into flowering. The uncut plant is definitely pretty skunky and when I touch the buds my fingers get a really strong citrus smell. This stuff is going to be nothing short of amazing when done!!

Question......How do you know when your plant is around 2 weeks out from harvest so that you know when to start doing 2 week flush since I am fertilizing with MG Bloom Booster? Is there some trick I am too inexperienced to know yet possibly? Right now my plants are about 5 weeks into flowering and according to seed company the flowering time for these is 7-9 weeks so I want to make sure that I flush them properly but also don't want to do it too soon and cut out valuable time fertilizing if I can help it. Any and all advice/help is appreciated.

**UPDATE** Both plants are still moving right along. Looking like they still got at least another 4 weeks left which is on the later end of the flowering time according to Nirvana, but I sort of expected that anyways. The tall uncut plant is quite skunky in smell when smelling up close and only makes the room smell slightly skunky. The fimmed plant actually has a more sweet smell with it up close and the buds almost have a light blue/silver hue to them making it the prettiest of the 2 plants. Can definitely tell though that the plants will finish at different times because of how different they are although I have no clue as to which one will finish first or last. I plan to fertilize for another 2 weeks and then I will start the flushing process with some molasses in the mix to help sweeten them up and make those buds fatter. Hope you enjoy the pics!!

beautiful man. I can't really give you good advice on the flushing.. I just go by the breeders info and flush for 1 week.. 2 weeks seems a lot. Usually after 1 week of just water my plants are yellow.

So if the breeder's info says flowering is 7-9 weeks then I should start flushing at 8 weeks you think? I will still be adding a little molasses during flushing regardless to help fatten and sweeten them.

Thanks for the comments!! Yeah they are super sticky and smelly. Only 4 more weeks to go give or take so won't be long before reaping the rewards!
 
Man, those are some sweet looking girls!!!:-o You certainly are gifted with the green thumb. That uncut plant has some dense hairs all down her stem and the fimmed one's colas just look amazing. I can see u have given them a lot of love and care. Can't wait to see them at harvest. Keep up the good work.

Thanks firechile007!! They are definitely looking nice considering this is only my 2nd grow ever. I still have a lot to learn and experience but so far so good!
