Week 3 of Flower
Well folks, after the depressing incident of having to destroy the hermie Bubba Kush, I'm pleased to report the Green Crack is looking good.
This week, I also replaced my older HLG 135 3000k with the newer R-Spec model, so I now have two of the same lights in my tent. No more red and blue supplementing with this guy. I suspect blasting the BK with those red and blue pucks to try to mimic the R-Spec contributed to her eventual demise, at least young in her life -- I think that blue puck is why she stayed so short. Of course, me panicking and chopping off all those branches for no reason didn't help either
Anyway, this week, I tried stretching out the Green Crack as wide as possible to fill up the tent. I regret lolipopping as much as I did, as now I have some space around the perimiter of the blants, so I should have kept some bud sites lower down on the perimeter too, since I have a reflective tent. Oh well. Lots of lessons learned here for next time.
I also did a flush last week as my run-off EC kept creeping up significantly. I think I'm seeing the delayed repercussions of this now as I have quite a few burnt tips, but none of them look too bad.
Still feeding relatively lightly at around 1.2ec once per day. Lights have been brought down to around 800 PPFD; I was up around 900-950 but I was noticing some ill effects so I dimmed them a bit. Currently drawing around 230W from the wall.
Anyway, she's definitely starting to pack on some buds and things are getting frosty. Some pics:

Week 4 of Flower
Happy New Year's, everybody!
Not much to say about Week 4. I debated merging my Week 4 and 5 updates together, but I figured, what the hell. How about a little New Year's Day update for my AFN family
Things are progressing pretty steadily through mid-flower. I've learned so many "do nots" that I've done on this grow that I shan't be doing on future grows. This has very much been a trial run. I really think this grow would have benefitted from some schawzzing as it's just so leafy in general. More leaves than I've ever grown on a plant before. They're friggin relentless. I've been doing very conservative and selective leaf removal, but if I ever grow this strain again, I think this would be the one to test out proper schwazzing. Anyway, too late now, so it is what it is.
My bastardized training has also been showing it's repercussions - remember I initially tried to mainline this plant, but threw in the towel after the second round of topping. I then threw a trellis on during the stretch to try to widen it out a bit, but then did some growth removal toward the end of pre-flower. I think in doing so, I pretty well ruined the purpose of my mainline attempt. To me, mainline means deep, tall buds requiring light penetration. By removing the growth under the trellis, I have kept my buds a little too short. I'm hoping they fatten up substantially.
At the moment, I'm worried I'm not even going to yield as much as my last auto grow, which only took ~11 weeks. When this one is finished, I'll be at week 17-18!
Anyway, stats wise, lights at ~800 PPFD; temps around 24 deg C, humidity around 40-45%, fertigating twice a day at around 600ppm, runoff around 700ppm, pH at 5.8 or so.

Week 5 of Flower
Hey folks,
I'll keep this short and sweet: things are getting stinky. Pretty well same conditions as last week. Starting in Week 6 I'll be shifting to ripening nutes so I suspect we'll see a bit more action around then.
