Looking good man what do you feed them?

I use these. The left one is for veg, the right for flower. The small one on the very right is Atami Bloombastic, a bloom booster.
I got the base nutes from the local garden centre, before i realized there was an excellent grow shop just in town, like 5 mins away, which is where I got the bloombastic from.
Total cost of both bottles was about €15, Bloombastic was about €10. I'm pretty happy with the results to be honest, not really sure how much more a more expensive nutrient line would have done, so I think I'll be using these in future grows.

Morning folks

Today is day 53 for CC1 and 45 for CC2, both have stopped vertical growth completely now. They've got a really strong smell to them now which is intensifying all the time, they can be smelt from several metres away. It's a really pleasant smell so i'm not complaining!

I've upped the Bloombastic in today's feed to full strength. Previously i've been giving them half dose, just to err on the side of cautious. I'll see how they respond and switch back to half if necessary. I was hoping that CC1 would be showing some signs of entering the harvest window by today but so far nothing, all the pistils seem to be white(ish) and straight(ish). I've not had a chance to check trichomes yet but i do have access to a macro lens camera so i think i'll get that going one day this week and have a closer look.

Here some pics from this morning :

CC1

CC1 Main cola, its pretty dense and solid if i give it a gentle squeeze

CC1 lower bud, this is the one which had all the pistils eaten by grasshoppers, coming back strong

CC2

CC2 Main cola, starting to chunk up now

CC2 lower bud.

CC2 closer shot of a bud, plenty of sparkles!

CC2 another close up just because

One last pic, found this horror lurking around the area i keep my plants in this morning. Not 100% sure what it is, i think it might be a palm beetle but if someone knows better let me know :

That's it for today guys, more at the end of the week. Have a good day

haha nah dude.......I reckon you got a couple weeks left yet.....everything looks great tho bro

Yeah probably, and that was my rough estimate/expectations anyway bro. Friday is 8 weeks since the seed popped though, and given that's Sweet Seed's estimate for this strain I would have thought it would have made some steps towards looking like it's on its way to harvest.

I know those timelines from seed banks need to taken with a pinch of salt, and to be honest i dont mind waiting a bit longer cos it means the buds will get bigger and heavier and stickier and smellier I just wanted to see a bit of a change in them really!
