GDB Does Cosmic Lights & Other Photos

True. Most folks don't do a reset ever, much less every 6 weeks!
 
Now I'm confused. You mean you only water in saucers in flower?
 
Pretty much. I can move my vegging plants to the tub to water to run off. Once they’re in flower, they don’t get moved around cause catastrophe can happen.
 
Catastrophe? I move my flowering plants twice a day. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
I’m wary of moving my flowering plants. They get too heavy, and sometimes when they flop around too much their branches lose structural integrity completely. That happened to one of my star pupils.. I couldn’t get it to stand up straight by the time I harvested

edit: I should mention that’s much less of a problem with bamboo stakes

My current Dr. S CBD (photo) has that problem. Was ok to move a few times but now has lost all hope of ever standing up straight again. Done in a week anyway, but this happened last time I grew it indoors too. Doesn’t seem to be a problem with the autos as much, mine are more stout and can be tossed around without much issue.
 
Bamboo stakes and 7 gal pots max is my method. Last summer's 10 gallon pots were nearly impossible to carry on watering day.

My experience with MC which I have used quite a bit is that I keep bumping it up .25 grams every other feeding until I start to see just the tiniest "burning" of the leaf tips. Once I see that sign I hold where I'm at with the MC dosage until the plant is fully into flowering at which time I slowly start bumping it up again. The leaves on your plant have a real healthy color and look nice and shiny. She looks real healthy.

Thanks, Beez. After I thought about it I only bumped it from 3.2 to 3.375. I really relied on the fact that the plant wasn't asking for more and I didn't want to force much more on her. :Rasta:

Great discussion, Chef and Shed.

I use 5 gallon pots and bamboo stakes for my photos, and I water to runoff for the entire grow. My head-scratching decision is usually when to start watering to runoff. :Rasta:
 
I start when I think the plant has grown roots all through the medium.

I'm hoping that's when I start too Shed, but I am never sure. I use the gauge of when the leaves grow past the edge of the pot.
 
That's usually a safe sign. You can also get a feel for how fast it's drinking what you give it.

Thanks, Beez. I hope the fire gets lit again for you! :Rasta:

Just found your new hangout! I'll pull up a beanbag if you don't mind. Ironing boards are too rigid for me.

You can easily fill that 2x2 with one plant, so it's perfect!

Then you're never watering to runoff. Might work for LOS but isn't recommended for synthetic nutes.

Hey beez, nice to see you around!

I forgot to welcome you, Shed. Welcome! :Rasta:
 
Hello grow mob.

A quick update on the Cosmic Lights (day 44).

She's grown 6.5 inches over the past 8 days and is now 19 inches from soil to tip. My tent is only 4 feet tall, so only about 14 inches remain between the top of the plant and the light.

I've been unable to find any information on how this strain grows (height, days in flower), so I'm a little concerned about what will happen after I flip her.

She seems really happy!

My advice, especially since you have the entire tent to work with, is to slowly tie all those branches flat and get them growing to the walls rather than to the light. You'll double your harvest as well.
