The Speed Bud grow looks like it could yield a couple ounces. Where I supercropped the top, its growing a wall of buds along the horizontal part of the stem. They're starting to chunk up a bit too. Probably two weeks left until it's starting to wind down.
Might make my next purchase a better digital camera than the back of a cellphone. These ain't too bad for now, but I want to be able to really see the trichs on a zoomed shot. You need a little more than 3 mm of lens for anything with enough detail to be really useful.
Anyway, it's an interesting growth pattern. Not sure how well you can see it in these pics.
It is a good idea to trim leaves coming out of the tops? Want to let some more light in, but normally I only trim the fans under the higher bud formations.

I've read conflicting answers to a question I have. I figure instead of trying to sort through arbitrary analyses, I would pose this question to the best folks in the world when it comes to this sort of thing. Unfortunately, they were not available, so I am going to ask you bunch of hoodlums instead..
Adding carbs to a DWC tank will absolutely benefit the good bacterial and fungal colonies you want in your tank. These same carbohydrates are what the plant extracts from fan leaves for energy, as I understand things. At question is if the plant will absorb these same carbs from the solution. The obvious answer seems to be yes, but my question really was if these carbohydrate additives can satisfactorily replace that which is stored in the fans? Can the plant really take up carbs as good or better from the tank as it can from the leaves hanging right off the stems? I can't seem to find much on that from a source I find trustworthy.. I.E., as wonderful as the AN line of products are, I wouldn't expect anything besides a glowing analysis of their own product, rendering whatever they say into a form that should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt.
If I can completely strip the fans, and either maintain or improve the source of carbs, I absolutely want to do that.
@Waira your input on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thoughts?
