Hawaiian Snowcone bouncing back strong after final transplant and ready to flower after completing Week 12. Hitting 15-9 lighting today. Will reduce to 13-11, at a rate of 15 minutes per day,  by next weekend to slowly initiate flowering.
*It is the first plant toward the front and center, first picture. 

Riviera strain known as "Blue" a few days younger, remains somewhat stunted and may not get as big as daddy was hoping (yeah it's the small ass plant)... 

...both grown from seed, with a slow outdoor start and 2 or 3 transplants as they outgrew their pots rapidly to make it where they are now (Terra Cotta/OG Soil not fucking cheap and definitely not lightweight to keep tranplanting but not bad at all and very rewarding once you get the hang of it and are committed). In any case I'm expecting a strong turnout for the big Hawaiian gal which I'm still more confident in than ever after shaking about half a dozen different nutrient/bug/etc. issues in the early veg stage and witnessing the plant double in size in about 2 weeks. Patience has finally started to pay off but I suppose we'll wait another couple weeks to really put my money where my mouth is. It is competing with the other 2 leaders to be my tallest plant. 

Who are the attractive newcomers you ask? They are both clones of a strain called "Kombucha Cream", which actually has some choice genetics. Pretty happy to find cuts of something so solid this late in my grow, so that I will in fact be able to pull off the classic "Sea of Green" as I'd been hesistantly hoping to do all along. They were started only about a week ago and rooted with no problem at all thanks to a quick transplant the night I got them home. You can see they've been continuing to be super healthy and will space nicely so I have at least 3 really nice solid plants in the center of the tent. The Kom Cream are both caddycorner to each other. 

The 5th plant you see hiding in the taller rose pot in the corner is a hybrid of Jealousy X Runts. I'm super excited about the genetics as well, which boasted some really nice dark green leaves at first with darker purplish tips... only to turn a different color entirely upon transplant, and lose so many leaves to stress that it looks almost like a different plant. I have resorted to a sort of unconventional LST where I'm braiding the leaves temporarily to encourage the indica leaning strain to bush in and out versus uo, because it was just so damn leggy. My main mistake:

...I believe was waiting 3 days to transplant it after getting her home. This was due to mainly the factor of not having enough funds to cover the final bigger pot yet, as well as being on vacation for 3 days where the poor rootbound clone was neglected and forced to endure an extra day without enough water. May simply be a PH issue due to the new medium...

Not to fear, I will have 2 out of 3 clones with a solid yield by the time they start flowering fully in a week or two, and 1 out of 2 that I started myself from seed which is a decent success rate IMHO. If I'm lucky I'll get the other 2 strugglin fellas to bounce back as well within the week and wind up with a nice full tent consisting of 5 relatively compact plants for my modified take on the SoG. 

My only advice at this time is never give up! 🫠 and sorry about my sandal socks... hawhaw

Hit me up though forreal if you want to know where to find some really nice exotic plants in the Akron-Canton area. Can personally recommend an excellent grow shop that's bringing in super high quality cuttings every other week or so; family owned and very reputable!
