Okay, juries in and I'll get rid of the vases. But they're so damned pretty! But if they're so damned pretty, the wife will love them...

Welcome to PE636 (Prince Edward Island, maybe?). Glad to have you along for the ride. Thanks for the info about almost killing your plant with kindness. The Wife-Bot and I were just talking about nutes and was I giving them too much. That's what I'm afraid of -- killing them with kindness. I've been okay on the nutes, though, haven't given too much, don't think I've given them too little.

And PE636, thanks for the heads up on how to mix the nutes. I appreciate it. I"m starting my CaMg on day 14, on the advice of a female grower I know and whom I respect (she works at the shop where I like to buy my stuff. Was in the shop yesterday and asked her especially when to give the CaMg and she said day 14 was a good day).

PufPufPas -- thanks for the congrats on my book deal. I'm THRILLED to have come so far. I wrote the novel in June 16 (last June) and sent it out to agents who all rejected it (tons of them rejected it). Then I sent it out to a few publishers and got a very positive response from one who loved the book and said they saw a ton of potential (read = $$$) and so they wanted to publish it. I agreed almost on the spot (after reading the contract closely, of course). I'm now very excited to be working with the editor I have and thrilled that I've got an entry date into the market: 14 Nov 17.

So the next few months will be really busy with my book, Finding Max.

Rideouts, yes I plan on training! I'm going to do a scrog on this grow. I've got a 5 x 5 foot tent on the way (got my tracking number from Ebay.ca just a few moments ago). I'm going to scrog all four plants in about a 4 x 4 foot space, giving me about a foot all around to work on them from. I"m terribly excited to be doing a scrog. I love the look of a well tended scrog, and I love the look of that sea of colas poking up above the netting. My wife, who is the builder of the family (I'm the intellectual writer), will build me the frame and we saw a $15 net for scrogging at my grow shop yesterday that we're going to use. It's reusable, too, so that makes it even more attractive. And it's soft, so its easy on the plants. Not hard and sharp at all. So if you've got scrogging background, then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stick around for the long haul! Tent should be here within days and I'll have it all set up within 24 hours of it's arrival. Hell yeah! I'll be posting pics! And by that time, my demented little girls should be ready to have their nasty little heads chopped off! Might plant a couple of them and grow them along the sidelines of the scrog just to get what I can get. Rather than just throwing them in the trash...

So, I'll leave you to your thoughts.

My best,
Magnus.
