Day 27 flower of FCJ, haven't had much issues with these guys minus some minor lst for the top that have stretched all they can. Lights have hit the ceiling. As for the bottom growth they've been dieing off here and there as well as a showing browning or yellowing for bud sites and fans, I try to clean up what I can and not yank anything unless is necessary. I've today added a small 100w cfl in the bottom pointing up to get that undercarriage though it's only pulling 2100 lumens I think it will help and I plan to get one more just in case I have this issue again. I wish I would have trained these guys a lot better, next time during veg I'll make sure to pay more attention to the bottom growth which I know will effect the top by not receiving sufficient light. Side from that these guys are some 7-8 ft beasts. Here's some photos.

Day 34 flower. Very fruity aromas coming out of the FCJs, also added in two more cfls I just picked up at the hardware store, they say 150w but only use 42w, warm spectrum, and they pull 2800 lumens so I've seen some improvements on the lower extremities. But I feel that with some more funds I could do better and will be considering hanging some Hps bulbs on next grow for the middle to lower parts that don't recurve any light. Hopefully I pull well over 2z's which is my goal for my first phototype.

Man, could you imagine having a full GREENHOUSE like that!? I'd break in every other night and just sleep under a table just to dwell in the wonderful aroma !!!

Some nice cola shots, got to spend sometime with the girls today and they're looking great, shouldve bought yoyo's since the colas can't even handle their own weight haha. A lot of middle growth showing orange hairs, trichs are still pretty clear (checked with my 420scope). But we seem to be wrapping this up with only a few weeks left, I'm expecting February for finish possibly mid month. The aroma is incredible as well fruity yet cheesy all over my house, I love it. Great first experience growing an auto and a photo at the same time.

Day 53, almost done with this grow, checked the trichs today and they're still pretty clear so I'm probably going to give them until 60-65 and make a decision from there. Had access to a nice camera as well so I shot some professional photos of the girls at their finest. Enjoy

Day 64. Going to induce flushing with the 7 day schedule from technaflora. First 3 days nute solutions, final 4-7 water flush. Going to pluck a lot of the fans as well today to help densin up the girls. Looks like the left FCj was the main yeilder, the under developed girl on the right will be most likely used for a whole plant ice wax extraction out of my new 12 gallon por table washing machine coming soon so I will start a journal for my ice wax experiance. Also going to do some selective harvesting as I check out the trichs. The white widow makes the hairs deceiving lot of white still on the buds, but trichs are ready.

Harvest time! Looks like a good one to me, filled the entire super box from super closet and a two level cabinet. now I just need to not screw up the curing and drying process such as before and loose yield to mold. I have 4 hygrometers I ordered for curing but majority of the buds are too big for Mason jars so if anyone has advice on box curing please chime in. I'm considering doing a box cure inside the super box for all the main colas. For now the humidity has stayed around 50% in the box With temp in mid 60's. The popcorn will go in jars with boveda 62 humidity packs. here are some photos.
