First 4 pics are the Forum Cut Cookies, it's roots after 24 days!, and it has some 11 finger leaves in 4th pic! Next 3 pics are overall pics and pics of my 3 Hubbabubbas at different stages. The last 2 pics are close ups of my 8 week old HBSS. Nothing to report on the Fantasmo Expresses yet!

The 2 Fantasmo Express have came out the gate strong! I'm loving these Root Riots so far....they make it almost impossible to over-water and all 3 plants I've germinated in them have came out atrong and healthy out the gate! These Fantasmos are stretching under this less powerful light and are already taller than my other 4 plants were after 2 weeks....lol. I may have to throw them under the QBs sooner than I had planned! I kinda wish I would have started another FE under the QBs...so I will know if that is what stunted my 4 HBSS's....or if they were just smaller plants. ....OR, I effed them up in some way...lol!

The last 2 pics are of my oldest HBSS. Her hairs are starting to turn...I think she has about 2-3 weeks left. I am giving her plain pH'ed water from here on out. How often and how much Molasses should I give it these last waterings? Or should I not give it any?

*WEEKLY UPDATE*

Gray Pot(HBSS)-Day 64
Black Pots(HBSS)-Day 42
Big Black Pot(FCC)-Day 30
Fantasmo Ecpress-Day 5

This FCC is impressing me...especially considering I didn't really care to germinate it....I only did it to test out the new Root Riots I had just bought. The size of its stem and 11 finger leaves are cool for a new grower like me! I wish I had the time to Veg this out properly and then flower it. I am currently waiting for her to start alternating nodes and then she is getting flipped right away!

The HBSS in late flower is not pretty(overall), but she sure smells PRETTY! And the buds are super frosty! The smell of this plant is AMAZING! Smells like cotton candy bubble gum. Everyone I have let smell it says the same thing..."Oh my god! You grew that?!" Thankfully genetics play a big role in that. Thanks Mephisto!

The two HBSS that are in early flower could not be doing more opposite. One is looking pretty good and the other is looking light in color compared to the other. However I did get a tad heavy with Nitrogen on that one somehow. The one that isnt looking as good, also does not seem to be taking up much water. Could this all be due to lockout? Note that I did "lollipop" each branch to hopefully get some bigger colas on the end...and that couldve shocked her(been over a week tho). Should I maybe flush her out and ease her back into feeding? I hit her with a light dose of Grow Big and Tiger Bloom to see if she darkens up any....if she doesn't...I Will definitely flush.

The last 2 pics are of my Fantasmo Expresses at 5 days. They were 3.5 inches tall and I had no soil to add to the pots to bury the stems. I did have a block of Coco laying around so I mixed it with perlite and topped off my pots with them so that I dont have any "floppy girls". Lol. The bottom is soil though....didnt want anybody to think I had these 2 in Coco.

Something I just noticed tonight on my FCC. Anyone ever had this happen? Lol.

Do any of you guys use Molasses In late flower? I have one that has roughly 10 days left. Should I be flushing with only pH'ed water? Or should I give it a few drops of Molasses with each watering? When do you usually start giving Molasses in flower? I have been adding Alliance Biologics(good bacteria) to my soil so, the Molasses will feed them right?

Also, when do you guys use Ice?

I think I was wrong on my estimate of about 7-10 days left on my HBSS. She is very close(3-5 days). I prefer an energetic/sativa high....so I am shooting for mostly milky and a few amber trichomes. I hope this plant tastes as good as it smells! Its gonna be tough waiting out the cure on this one! Haha.

Ive been busy as hell the past 2 or 3 days and haven't been online much. Anyways, does anybody know of a way/some ways to raise the pH of the soil that my plants are in? I do not know how it got so low(5.2) in those 2 HBSS that are in early flower. I might have to order a better pH pen to test my water/feed. I got a $15 one off of Amazon. Does anybody have any recommendations...under $50 if possible?

I upgraded to an Apera pH20 from the cheap pH pens. A pain to calibrate initially but it works well and is waterproof in case you drop it in the nute bucket. Comes with a bunch of calibration and storage solution in a fancy case. I like it, worth the investment I think.

*WEEKLY UPDATE*

Gray Pot(HBSS)-71 days
Black Pots(HBSS)-49 days
Big Black Pot(FCC)-37 days
Fantasmo Express Seedlings-12 days

First picture is of my Hubbabubbasmelloscope that is about to get the chop in a few days. I have been packing ice around her the past 24 hours.

Next 2 pics are of my Forum Cut Cookies Photo-period. I put it in its new home today. I also rigged all of my lights to one frame....so I can raise and lower it as one piece and not have to figure out where to clamp 4 clamp lights. I am going to strip her(defoliate) and flip the lighting to 12-12. I also am going to string up a trellis on this wood frame tomorrow.

The next 3 are of my HBSS that is doing pretty well(besides too much nitrogen). I did a little bit of training on it, and I am happy with how they are all even and under direct light(which you can see in 1 pic).

The next is of my HBSS that is not doing good at all. She looks like she is or was in lockout. I have ran a little over 2 gallons of 6.3 PH water thru it to try and flush it out. Ive got the ppm's WAY down from where they were. I guess it was in lockout and the nutrients were just building up in the soil.

The last 2 pics are of my main closet and a closeup of the 12 day old Fantasmo Express.
