She’s still trying with the little Bubba Kush. Doesn’t give up on plants easily does & Co.
Mixing just 6L of fert at a time is such a ballache. Last day today. The 100L tank is nearly empty to I’ll mix that to veg spec tomorrow. They need about 500ml to run off right now. I have everything I need to make the irrigation system. Do that tonight or tomorrow morning. When that’s done there is ‘t much to do for a few weeks. Feed and give them light until topping, defol, flip, defol, harvest, acknowledge applause, bow.
Need to change that CMH bulb in the morning. It came back on but is kaput.

I uppotted the Bruce Banner and the Trzkit this morning. Day 14 and the balls held together. Barely. Had to be super gentle on the drop. So this is what I have going on. Everyone is in their homes except the Cherry Pie organic, and I’m okay with all the plants except possibly the Trizkit. I can’t seem to get her green up, she’s a bit pale around the edges of her leaves and the side branches started coming out weird. I’m not giving up on her yet, but I have the Skywalker to switch her out with if necessary. Just watered in this picture, but everyone prays by around noon.

This is the main stem of one of the Gorilla Cookies. All three are like this. Very thick stems for their age. The e Bruce Banner and the organic Skywalker also have these thick ass stems.

Ah! Thanks @Absorber, I had not considered foliar spray. I actually have the perfect products for that. Good call.

Yeah you’re lucky. The most work intensive weeks of my grow are coming up. And I don’t have an and Co.!

Cyco Nutrients Plants
Here’s the two Gorilla Cookies - the 2 plants getting the full Cyco Platinum Series regimen. I was a bit concerned when I jumped from week one Basic to week three Advanced, but that would have shown by now. They are jamming right along.

Post Uppotting
So two hours ago I uppotted this Bruce Banner and Trizkit. As you can see, in two hours it’s literally as if it never happened. This is how mine always go on the uppot, and I’m convinced that the reason is doing it earlier than one normally would. I do it when the root ball will just hold together and you gotta be real gentle. No wrapped around roots. I believe that uppotting at that point allows the roots an easier transition into the new medium. The proof is in the pudding. This is two hours post uppot. You can also see the uncooperativeness of the oddly growing Trizkit as well. At lights out tonight I’m going to foliar spray her and see if that works.

I grow auto's by Mosca Negro, and he, sends a leaflet explaining to Up-pot from glass to final pot. It works like a charm for me, I agree, soon er the better to not interupt or trigger. SS carry on.
Irrigation is in. Such a joy to mix 100L and use 100ml syringes and measuring jugs. 6L is a real PITA to mix. Not getting in the tent which is hot and bare humid is also nice. Just need to Ph the fert tank once a day and mix new every 5-6 days from here on out.
I think the main light will be available in two weeks. That would be sweet. I’ll run them 5-7 days under the 5000k LED before flip and will be harvesting around day 100-110.

It’s when I see this that I know once again I took on the wrong guy, shoulda picked a chump who had no clue.

Nice tech @NickHardy. You know what’s funny? I was just about to post a picture of my tech. I’m sitting here all proud of my four oscillating fans and two water and pump setups, as if it’s high tech. Again……
Well, thanks for bringing me back to earth and spoiling one of my few joys in life. (Omg lol!). But it is fun to watch the fans. They mesmerize me. They seem to either have a rhythm and are making fan music, or communicating about fan stuff or something. I get high and watch the plants and end up hypnotized by a few fans and suddenly I’m like a CIA pawn and will do whatever I'm told, ie Oswald. We are getting closer to everyone having their color corrected, by next node everyone should look great except maybe Trizkit. She’s a stubborn beast. Each set of leaves gets a little better. She closer. Oy. Anyway, that’s what’s up around here. Oh, last thing - the Cyco GrowXL application is Friday or Saturday. I may even take some measurements for before/after comparison. Supposedlay according to my research, it’s going to make the plants stretch significantly. Lmao. Still scared but all in is all in.- Thread starter

Oh yeah, here’s the environment I pretty much shoot for at this point:It’s when I see this that I know once again I took on the wrong guy, shoulda picked a chump who had no clue.

I started doing a list of stuff all from Amazon to do an irrigation setup like we have. I can pop it here or in one my threads. I think I got it to $150 ex the wet and dry vacIt’s when I see this that I know once again I took on the wrong guy, shoulda picked a chump who had no clue.

. Once you have the pump you can just adding on with valves and PVC pipe. To add that one (actually its two there’s a spare not yet finished) too less than an hour. Be even wuicker but the grey pipe we use is a perfect fit on the collars but a bit small on the manifold so a lighter is required. You even have some of those green manifolds, right?
But I guess now you’re going full organic now, you’ll just be into discussion of the correct water diffuser, angle of attack of with taupe coloured watering can and nu wave pinky flair
It has to, it's right there in the name!
Persistence Pays!
SPRING BREAK
Much like the finely tuned athletes of the English Premier League, or Formula One technicians we need a mid season break to recharge, plot and connive. We’ve chosen now because for the next couple of weeks not much happening. Jon’s Mom is out of hospital early, for good behaviour
and his time to post really limited - he’s not normally a man reluctant to add to his post count we can agree, yes? 
He also kept muttering something about Austin Powers to which my response was,
So we’re both still growing, the same gig (though if he needs it because of distractions he has mulligans to hand) and when Jon’s got his mother happy and healthy we’ll both be back.
Get well Jon’s Mom and good luck Jon - from what I know of your mother you’re in for a tough few days
