They are looking awesome, nice job turning them around. Good luck on those clones.

They look amazing, wowWeek 7
The train is back on the tracks! The girls have started to absolutely burst with growth the last couple days! Holding at 4g per gallon did the trick once they worked the excess nitrogen out and they’ve stretched into fresh medium. I also applied a light foliar spray of ANs B54 b vitamins and a touch of Calmag, they looked amazing the next day.
Training continued tying branches down tucking and plucking fan leaves and underside growth tips. I’m pretty happy where they are now all out to the edges of their pots and spaced nicely with an even canopy. I’ll let them go vertical for another week, maybe two and then start thinking about flipping. I have a pile of friends that want clones this year to put in the ground so I ordered a vented dome and some rapid rooters. I found a cloning gel by Roots for 10 bucks! In a week I’ll be looking to get 10 to 15 clones rooted!
Strawberry Cream 2 back in action!
I am stunned at how well she turned around if you look at her just a week ago and now she is really blowing up!
They look terrific, and certainly liked getting transplanted! I'm looking forward to the cloning operation...nothing like free plants for your friends.

Hey to the couple great people that follow this thread from the US of A, I won a jug of Terpinator for my Plant of the Month won, but unfortunately they do not ship to Canada. If anyone wants it or knows someone who might I’d be happy to gift it to them!
Post it on my journal and see if anyone jumps in it.
Whatsammatta Penny, don't need any?

Man hard to get rid of this stuff for free even!
Anyway back to weed growing..quick update here is a good picture showing three different shades of green showing the progression of my plants the last two weeks:
Far left shows a definite too dark of green, these are a lot of my lower leaves from when I got carried away on the MC bumps. The middle I’d say is the perfect shade of MC green to shoot for and the right side showing a little on the lighter green side. I checked them all in natural light to make sure my lights weren’t doing me wrong and found a good amount on some of the girls looking like they were asking for more. I find brand new growth always comes in lighter but it isn’t just brand new growth.
I need to be careful though, all previous signs of deficiencies are vamanos but in the name of learning or dialling it in as they say I’m going to go ahead and feed in the morning when I get off work at 4.5g. Last feed was at 4.25 and nothing spontaneously combusted. Hopefully I’ll only need another feed, maybe two before flipping to flower power! I’m shooting for around 20” of height from the soil before the flip. I’ve restrained myself from any further training as I know I can easily get carried away for weeks. Last run I filled the tent sideways wall to wall with only two plants. There’s 8 now!
Couple family photos! I am really surprised how much I am drawn to the garden every day. It’s become a quick getaway for me from the stress of life, especially right now. There is really something to the therapeutic nature of growing plants. Especially when you can smoke them.

They look terrific DC! And remember, green is an indication of the nitrogen load, and nitrogen is pulled from the lower leaves to feed the uppers when the plant can't find enough in the soil. That's why we use the lower leaves as a gauge for when to bump the feed. A pale green leaf in the middle might just not be getting the same amount of light as some others. That one looks healthy to me!
Great training...lots of bud sites...looking good.
Your plants are looking awesome Dee!!

Thanks for being my voice of reason when I get too finicky and remind me to relax! The LED lights even in my basement throw the look of them off. I brought one upstairs in more natural light - she indeed looks great!
Thanks man! Training came pretty easy to me, I enjoy spending time in the garden so once they are sprouting I’m in there a lot adjusting ties and stakes. And not a single break, split or even cut this time on all 7 of them! I’m actually having to restrain myself everyday now lol as Id like to get some height to them now and get going into flowertime soon! Last grow I kept going and had them over two feet wide and only 10” tall!
Thanks broseth!
I was able to gift my first win of the stuff. The same with the Geopots as they seem to be related. The next time I asked they refused to answer my emails. After the third try I gave up asking. Hopefully they will gift it forward for you.

We’ll see! I was really looking forward to the 10gal pots, magic butter machine and I’ve already bought all the rest of the parts for an auto watering system only to find out the manifold kit won’t come here either! Damn!
I’m still waiting for the butter machine. Not sure if I will get it or not... so far, I’ve got the stuff from 420 (stickers and lighter and buster and what not) I received the manifold kits, and the light. I was looking forward to the butter machine, but who knows maybe it’ll still show up some time!
PM me your address and I'll send you the extra one I have.

This 420 link in the contest blurb shows who will ship to Canada. It says Butter Machine won’t. You got the manifold? Link says it will but rep says they don’t ship prizes but I could pay for one...when the pandemic is over lol
I got the best prize already anyway (besides the title haha) my nextlight core came in and is hooked up in my veg tent ready for clones soon!
Yep the light was nice to get.
Yeah I got two of those irrigation manifold kits.. that’s odd! I never saw that page before either, it’s good to know what comes and what doesn’t. Yeah the light is nice indeed! Once my SJ is done drying, I’ll be setting it up in there.

CIS rep must be smoking some of the stuff he’s growing with all his irrigation supplies!
No worries Saugs is coming to my rescue!
My NextLight arrived a little over a week ago. It works, I did check, but I don't have a space for it at the moment. Still figuring that one out.
Haven't heard about the GrowAnt one yet. I do have a place for that, and was kinda looking forward to it. Oh well, maybe it will come some day.
