Yeah it did kinda turn pink, somehow it does look more pink in the pictures than it was in real life. Maybe the top cola will look even more pink when it's done drying in a few days. Still have one more Pink Lady, it's a bit slower along, I'm going to let it go long and see what it looks like late in life :) Oh the smell wow, when it was in the tent I couldn't smell it at all! But then when I took it out, it smells amazing, not too much like "weed", a little bit, but very very strong pink grapefruit smells, like sweet fruit + pink grapefruit, not like the sour grapefruit lol. They must be related to the Grapefruit Punch somewhere up the line. My hands and toaster smelled like grapefruit for hours lol. I still don't know but I really wonder if the smoke from it tastes like pink grapefruit too.
Yeah one guy who grew it said it was the best thing he ever smelled
 
Added: another 450w led panel :) that makes 900w theoretical, 278x2=556w claimed actual draw. This'll cover lighting in my 2x4x5 until I finally upgrade to a name brand led panel. I'll probably take some cfl's out, will have to watch and see how the heat gets.

Quick update & pics: Everything's trucking along great, no problems still lol. Tent is feeling kinda empty now compared to usual packed lol.

Pink Lady #1 is fine, consuming its lower leaves, fattening up a bit, but the pistils aren't turning as fast. It's very leafy, as you can see, and it's hard to tell in the pics but in real life there's a good bit of bud on there :) But it hasn't really entered it's final calyx fattening stage totally...

Grapefruit Punch twins along, also just starting to consume the lower leaves. GP1 on the Left and in second pic is consuming more lower leaf but pistils and calyxes are behind. GP2 on the Right is darker green, shorter, consuming less, and the pistils and calyxes are further along proper.

Blue Dream auto is awesome, still kinda different... Leaves are showing the light and dark verigation, I think it wants a stronger dose of CalMag. Nothing serious though.

Afghan Kush Ryder also looking a bit like it wants a stronger dose of CalMag, but still very healthy. I might whip up a epsom and gypsum watering for them today, or I have the GO CaMg+ that I could hit em with but it's not feeding time for several days still. It's not pronounced enough to warrant a foliar.

The mega stunted Red Poison #2 is preflowering yay! But she's so tiny. Noticed early signs of color shifting :) excited to see what cool colors this one cranks out later :)

Bubblegum #2 is really rockin its bud sites, stretch appears to be over now. It's at least a yardstick tall from the floor lol. Signs of sugars forming on the little calyxes.

All together now, smile! Grrr all that empty space now haha it feels so empty now! Yeah right, there's plenty in there hehe :) Plenty of light at least lol.

I need to cut and rig a proper crossbar up in the top of the tent so I can properly attach and arrange my lights. The tent only came with two crossbars that go across depth-wise and my fan and filter are mounted on one, but I need a centered crossbar to go width-wise to hook the lights to. It's all jiggy-rigged at this point. It'll be a quick and cheap fix though, just gotta whip out the power tools yeehawww!
 
Beans on the way yay: Mephisto's Tyrone and 2x Sour Cracks :) 3x Dutch Passion AutoUltimate in the sealed breeder pack this time. I'm excited about the Tyrone!
 
You should be excited, both Sour Crack and Tyrone Special are just fantastic, and from what I've seen/smelled of the AutoUltimate it should be a treat as well! Good choices all around!
 
Thanks yeah I'm looking forward to those great seeds, especially the Tyrone Special. Here's jarring pics of the TH Seeds Bubblegum Auto #1, just a hair over a half oz, so kinda low but it's awesome looking. No smells now, so it's up to the cure now to bring out whatever is deep inside :)
IMG_20141028_135027.jpg
It's covered in glistening crystals and dark orange hairs hehe! Good visual appeal. Even if a bubblegum taste doesn't come out after curing, it's still looking like Grade A herb.

I rigged up a decent light bar / crossbar for the tent for the lights to hang from better. Found a nice aluminum shower rod, cut it to length, and drilled two metal hanger screws on the ends.
Looks like this on both ends:

Ok its not gorgeous but it's strong and was free, made with stuff I had around lol. So I have a 4' wide tent, measured between the middle of the poles is 47" which makes sense. Cut the rod with a dremmel tool cutting disk and filed it smooth. Made marks on it with markers to mark where lights can hang equidistant from each other... Yeah kinda ocd lol. Works great, and holds the lights centered and even much better :)

CHOP, DRY, JAR: Blueberry Auto from ILGM, Day 73ish?
---
Somehow forgot to post the final cuts of the Blueberry! Here tis! It never really impressed me, except for looking really weird, like a stick with a few buds going up it haha. Trichome coverage is just above acceptable, yield is quite below acceptable lol. I didn't expect much going into it, for ILGM is selling generic seeds, 3x at $35 shipped. Two didn't even germinate, so it ended up being a ripoff in the end haha. But lessons learned and no hard feelings :) Yield was looking pitiful from the start of flowering. The smells were very faint of Blueberry there at the end. I thought I would take it longer and see if it put on late weight, but it wasn't budging so I called it and cut.

Mid buds were kinda cool just for looking so awkward haha! There would be branches and more leaves there.... But uh, that never happened lol.

Few days tent drying, chopped for a long burp. 12.9g going into jars, so uh,... lol. Still an improvement over my 3~4g plants from my first two grows lol!!

I'm calling it a high B Grade at this point, but if it pulls some awesome flavors and smells after cure, then I might be comfortable grading it an A.
