she looks in great health, and this variety will really pile on the weight as she matures. UVB sounds very interesting too, keep it going, its going to be nice to see this unfold

Thanks for the props/rep Tony...Yeah I haven't been this excited to see the turnout of a plant in a little while. The buds are already so gnarly, and I think she'll make it to 85 days or so. With that amount of time and the steady growth I've got going it should have some green boulders by harvest!
I've got five days left in my flowering schedule, then I switch over to Earth Juice Sugar Peak Grand Finale and Advanced Floriculture Bloom Final. I'll water those nutes in for two weeks, then either reduce the Grand Finale and Bloom Final to half-strength or switch to clean water altogether. I'm drying the NLxBB right now, which had 12 days of the Grand Finale and Bloom Final. With that grow I switched to half strength when I started cutting. Hopefully the NLxBB vapes as good as it looks and smells...if it does then I won't change a thing for the Finale of this grow. Well...except for going the full 14 days.
In terms of the UV-B...once again I don't visually detect any negative effects. Although, I didn't really expect to. On the NLxBB journal I mentioned that the sugar leaves looked more dead. It's hard to explain, but they were a darker grayish brown and a bit more wrinkled up. This was only really apparent on the outside of the two outermost buds. In other words the areas that got the most UV-B exposure by far. The rest of the plant's sugar leaves were unremarkable. Due to the strong vertical growth of the branches on the AutoUltimate, I've been able to keep her the exact distance from the UV-B I'm shootin for.
Anyways, Day 60 Update tomorrow and I'm pumped about it. The next three weeks are gonna be a blast!
Day 6T
Whew I'm beat from cutting the NLxBB, but I'm still pumped up because this lady is lookin' so busty and fine. Having staggered grows is nice...just as one is finishing the next is getting interesting. I'm really happy I decided to finish with my reworked/scaled back feeding schedule because she seems to be loving it. She'll have the biggest buds I've grown since a monster Auto Candy Kush I had a while ago. I've been trying so hard to get this group of nutes to work out and I feel like it's finally starting to pay off. Four more waterings and I'll go to the Grand Finale and Bloom Final. I'm positive I'll get the full fourteen days out of these two nutes for the first time. As I mentioned, I'll probably have a few extra days to decide on. I'm going to love the next three weeks!
This plant is sturdy as hell. The buds are stacking on the weight and the branches seem unphased. The girth of the cola is causing some lean, so I've devised an easy way to keep her standing perfectly straight under the LED. Well...first I bought a nice mini level to make sure the LED itself is level. It's kinda ironic because now the LED looks crooked as hell haha. Some sort of optical illusion from depth perception and where I'm sitting. Anyways, I use fabric Smart Pots, so I poke a hole into the upper lip of the pot and knot one end of a long piece of jute thread to its upper lip. I then wrap the jute thread around the main stalk to create a sort of "sling". I tie a kinda slip knot back onto the thread itself, and by sliding it up and down I can adjust the slings tension. I've got two of these "slings" 90 degrees to each other so by tweaking the two of them I can keep her standing perfectly straight up. I'm loving the way the knots allow me to adjust the "slings" on the fly because the plant is always shifting.
On a side note, my Dutch Passion Blue AutoMazar seeds from Seedsman came in today. The first two plants I ever grew were Berry Ryders, and I haven't done a Blueberry since so I'm really, really looking forward to getting one of these Blue AutoMazar seeds germing. That grow will take this plant's place, so I'm thinking this is officially the Dutch Passion Tent haha. Oh and I almost forgot, the Dark Devil popped above soilless last night, so I'll have a journal up for that sometime next week. I'm looking forward to giving the Dark Devil another go...although not without some trepidation. My last was super green and super sativa. Hoping this one is actually "Dark" haha. I had a good feeling about the seed I picked so here's to hoping.
Alright, goodnight lord/ladies ... Here she is

You sir, are my hero. This made my week. Thanks so much for the nomination... I'm a BoM virgin! I know the competition will be nuts... but I pour every gram of myself into every grow. Blood, Sweat, and Tears!Im going to hit you with this man she looks great.

Day 6T5
Everything has been going quite smooth with this grow. *Knocks on wood*. Don't wanna tempt the gods on that one. But, it's the truth. I think her bud growth slowed just a bit, but she is still developing nicely. The yellowing seems to have slowed as well, which is making me think she may go even longer than I was originally planning. Great looking plant though. So hairy and I love when the hairs change colors, the mix of whites and oranges is excellent. She is very sturdy still, props to the FaSilitor.
I gave her her last Flowering Feeding last night. All of the usual stuff, but light on anything with Nitrogen and a bit heavier with the Bloombastic. Tonight, was the beginning of the Finale Feeding. Two weeks of Grand Finale and Bloom Final. The Grand Finale actually states that you'll see increased yellowing from its use. I have a feeling that this AutoUltimate is gonna love these two nutes, can't wait to see how it takes them. She seems to be handling to UV-B really well too. I'm really excited for the home stretch...curious to see how the CTP+ holds up to the end.
This grow has got me dying to plant the DP Blue AutoMazar... I haven't grown anything fruity since a couple Auto Pineapple Punch's nearly a year ago. I know Dutch Passion has a few beauties waiting for me in that breeder's pack.
Oh, and the smell haha... PEPPER. There is absolutely no other way to describe it. It's like taking a huge whiff of fresh ground black pepper. Pretty nuts. I'm dying to see how this tastes through the vape. Here she is:

You deserve it man.
lovely DN. This one is in the bag....almost 
......
I wonder if you will get the lemon aroma coming through soon? You have a great looking plant, lovely crisp photography too. Well done

Ah thanks DPT...it's funny you mention it because the peppery aroma has taken on a sour tone and it's a really pleasant combination. This has been such an interesting plant. Lots of fun to grow.
In Between Update
I know I usually run my updates every five days, but I had a day-long doctors appointment and just wasn't up for it the other night. There are certainly more photos to come!
At this point I'm just giving it Grand Finale and Bloom Final... watchin' the leaves die. I'm impressed as usual with the Grand Finale and Bloom Final and how much growth I still get while using them. One thing about the ten day gap in updates is it will result in some good comparative photos. I had just started the Finale Feeding the last update and by the next update (night after tomorrow) the difference should be noticeable. This particular plant I have "trained" I guess more than any other. It's not like I'm doing LST but I've just tried to keep the buds in tight, pointing up, and keep the plant sort of uniform under the LED. In fact, if I could think of one complaint about the XGS-190 is that I'd prefer it to be square rather than rectangular. But, with the way I'm constantly rotating the plant I'm not sure it matters much.
The UV-B is going well. In the NLxBB grow I felt like there were a couple places getting over-exposed due to proximity to the Arcadia UV-B bulb. Well, this AutoUltimate is more compact and I feel like 6+ inches is the way to go. Anything closer and it looked to me like the sugar leaves were taking damage. Although, the two outermost buds from the NLxBB seem to be fine.
Still liking the CTP+...It's holding up really well and it's a good thing because I plan on taking her as far as she'll go. One thing I did notice is that the bottom inch or so of my Smart Pot seems to be retaining water. The rest of the pot is essentially dry to slightly moist every night I go to water. I'm not sure of the cause, but it's like the roots just stopped so the water hangs there. I stepped back on the water for a couple of days to help it disperse and dry up a bit and it seems better.
Oh ha. The smell. I had someone say Cream of Mushroom Soup... To me, it has almost a milky scent. Very strange. It's oddly pleasant tho...hard to explain. I'm looking forward to the finished product big time. A couple of the top buds, and the cola of course, are looking pretty fat.
Like I said I'll post more pics the night after tomorrow. It's looking kinda ugly now anyways with all of the necrosis. The upper leaves are getting to the point where they should start dropping. Just gotta wait patiently, I always like the buds to be as mature as possible before I cut so I could be looking at another 10 days.
Goodnight guys/gals
