The Apricot Kush cannabis plant had stem training, the Fog OG auto and Pineapple Express plants are blooming, and the Durban Violette in the green house is being indecisive.
Apricot Kush
This Apricot Kush plant has had five weeks of vegetative growth, big green leaves on this healthy looking plant. I made a point of not bringing the lights too close, to avoid overheating or leaf burn.
At week four the plant had some light training, the top of the plant was tied down towards the ground, so the branches would grow up at a similar height with the main stalk. The tied down top had already turned upwards toward the light by the next day.

I'll give this plant two more weeks of vegetative growth before I put it into bloom. I would let it veg a little longer, but this plant could be pollen producing male or a bud producing female, so I'm anxious to put it in bloom to find out.
Pineapple Express
After four weeks of bloom time, the Pineapple Express bud pistils are filling in, they're already giving off a sweet and dank pineapple scent.
This dainty Pineapple Express plant had eight weeks of vegetative growth before it was put into 12/12 bloom mode. Smaller buds and plant structure so far as compared to Pink Apricot or Orange Barb strains.
I'm not sure if the smaller plant size is genetics or technique, I'll know more the next time I grow this strain. Six more weeks for these buds to fatten for harvest.
Fog OG auto
The Fog OG auto flowering strain has had seven weeks of growth total. It went into bloom automatically after the third week of growth. A lot of buds stalks, and a decent main cola stalk shooting up, plenty of pistils filling in.

Sweet and dank fruity scent from the buds. Auto flowering plants are harvest ready after ten weeks from seedling.
Three more weeks for this plant, but I may give it a couple extra weeks to be sure the budding has finished.
Durban Violette
This Durban Violette cannabis plant has been growing from seedling for ten weeks total, four weeks ago it started going into bloom early after being moved to the green house.

With the days growing longer each day, the bloom mode may have stalled and slid back into veg mode until September, I'll have to wait and see. I'll let it go back into veg instead of trying to artificially shortening the days with shade.
