That will work but only when it's dry, so it's touch and go.

My Misc 1 (critical purple or GSC) is coming along. Care to guess yield? 3 grams? I have no idea.
Note, I used a insecticide soap spray that had a tiny bit of seaweed extract. My girls didn't like it and some tips turned brown. My chocolopes liked even less. On a positive note, fungus gnats are gone.

Success in the early grows is measured in harvests, not harvest weights!

Just curious, but for sure. I'll be very happy to have any harvest with that one. Especially after all the problems in getting them to grow.Success in the early grows is measured in harvests, not harvest weights!
Whatever you don't get off that plant will be for lack of light, not because of lacking genetics or growing skill.

Weather changed overnight and now back to mid to high 70s with night temps in low 60s. RH is all over the place, but within 45-65 range. What a relief! Last night I transplanted one of my chocolopes into a 10 gallon pot and she appears happy in her new home. It didn't seem like that big of a transfer so perhaps my smaller pot was bigger than I thought. I had topped this one a few weeks ago and she immediately started growing again. I don't plan to flip until around July 1st so wondering if I should top again. I'll tie her down again later today. Her leaf tips got a bit burnt when I sprayed safe brand insecticide with seaweed extract. My bad, but appears to have affected only the leaves.

Misc 1 (gsc or nl) buds are getting bigger with orange hairs. I read a few days ago that pistils sometimes turn orange from being touched. That makes absolutely no sense to me. I am so fascinated with this plant. Pardon the blur as I have hand tremors.
Congrats on the transplant! I'm sure it will be happy in a bigger home.
Are you going with light deprivation in the greenhouse thing you posted?
Pistils will turn brown when damaged, sprayed with anything with oil in it, from being pollinated, and as the plant ages.

Actually, I also have a shed and will be using that. I've got some work to do to clean it up, make sure no mice, and then lightproof it. I think it will work very nicely.

Now that my chocolopes are snuggled in their new homes I need to assess training needs. This one decided to stretch out of her lst bend and started to stand up. I'm trying to figure out if I should bend again in opposite direction or top.
At that height I'd top it to get it bushy.

I think my Misc 1 is almost ready, but can't tell and my apologies for the blurry pic. I'm going to feed today, but now wondering if... if it's close to harvest, when to stop feeding and should I flush. Or am I way off on how close this is.

Today focusing on my flowering GSC auto. It's been raining here for almost two days and last night she got left out (my bad). There was so much rain the soil got soaked and I didn't feed yesterday. When I brought her in this morning I noted her fan leaves aren't looking so good. When I sprayed her with insecticide on 6/6 that included seaweed extract it burnt her leaf tips and caused damage so I'm not sure if this is the end result of that or if she has a nitrogen problem. Maybe both. I'm nervous about feeding cause I don't want to make the problem worse by overwatering. Perhaps add something with a small amount of nitrogen in her tray for bottom feeding? When she started to flower I backed a little on the grow big and maybe she didn't like that. (Note, I pulled her into the light to get a better pic).
You may want to show a couple more pictures but from what I see here your pistols are pretty white and I can see no color on your trichs. It looks as though she has a ways to go to me.
Your weather patterns looks like your in the Pacific Northwest and probably running extremely high r/h right now. Your plant looks very wet and could probably use a drying out. I would get a fan on her pot and get it dried out and I personally would not bottom feed her. The insecticide you used may have contributed to her ills but the seaweed extract didn’t hurt her and actually adds a little nitrogen and other trace minerals to her feeding. To me she looks wet. I’m sure She’d will be along soon and help you continue your journey. Your actually doing very well and your knowledge of the plant is growing as fast as your girls with Sheds tutoring.

Thank you Nev. I'm about 15 miles west of Boston and our weather has been really wacky but retuning to normal this evening. I've got a few fans blowing on her so will let her dry out and hold off on feeding.
Shed is a great teacher. Hope to pay it forward some day.
I couldn’t have been any further off.
Well I guess you know now on who you should be listening to.The payoff usually comes on the 2nd grow and what you have applied.

Sorry, I've been out of town since Friday! Look like Nev has you covered.
Also, there is no reason to feed plain water at the end of a grow. That's an old myth that dies hard!
Nowhere close! When you need to get close-up pics, you'll be looking at the trichomes on the calyxes, rather than those on the sugar leaves or the at the pistils themselves.

What was the brand of insecticide?
Once it dries out as Nev mentioned, you can go back to feeding it. What was the last feeding in terms of amounts of nutes? And is it in full sun now (when the sun is out)?
