Thanks PSUAGRO, it means a lot coming from someone as experienced and knowledgeable as you. I can't wait for the girls to all be finished so that I can give the tent a good cleaning, and then start the next grow before the summer heat :) I will be germinating seeds in the last week of Feb, as I have to go out of town in 3 weeks for 5 days. So, everyone has to be dried and curing by then. I think that means a week and a half at the most for the trainwreck, sour diesel, and the green crack before I chop them. I think they would be dried to a crip is they went for 5 days, and I would die if mold started growing in my jars! The liberty haze won't be even close to finished by then, so I guess I'm going to over-water her, turn lights down to 10 hours per day, and hope for the best. What do you all think I should do?

Here they are today:

Really digging your strain choices here and the flowers look awesome. Trainwreck and sour d are two of my all time favorites. Seeing the trainwreck here convinced me it's in my next round. Picked up 2 trainwreck clones yesterday. How many weeks of 12/12 are you thinking will be optimal for harvest?

Hi Puff, thanks for stopping by:) I am really liking how the girls are tuning out as well. I'm also going to be picking up some trainwreck seeds myself for the future:eyesmoke: Sour D is also one of my favs-I just love that smell so much!

Here's a pic from the 23 November, it's the earliest pic I had of the girls. I know I flipped to 12/12 at least a week before but I do not know the exact date. The trainwreck(small pot, front left- not the big girl though) looks like she is not yet flowering in that pic though. She vegged in 12/12 for a while and grew a lot larger than I had expected, so I think she's been flowering now for probably a little less than 8 weeks, and based on her appearance, probably I think she'll need to go at about another week. I did a really poor job of keeping track of things this time around, and I regret that I don't have better information for you... sorry! I'm just lucky that despite the poor planning, height management of the canopy was easy and I was still able to pretty much fill the grow space. The next grow will have much better planning.

Long story short, I would plan for probably 9-10 weeks of flower, imho.

Here's a pic of the sleeping girls (I still haven't chopped the big girl, though I did take a bud for sampling)

Thanks for the info. 9-10 is what I was expecting but the chick at the club I got them from said 8-9 but she didn't seem to know much and admitted to being new. I'll aim for 9 and play it by ear. Also got a couple Sour Strawberry (sour d x strawberry cough) I'm excited to get growing.

No problem, I hope you show them to us!

I ended up chopping the big girl once the lights came on. Here's a couple buds:

Hi everyone,

Big girl is still drying...I can't wait to smoke for free!!! (well, minus the cost of all the shit I had to buy, haha, but next grow everything except electricity is free!). I'll set about half away to cure, but daddy needs his medicine, lol.

Here's a pic of the Green Crack:
