Update time!!!!
Well everyone! I appreciate the advice and good vibes and today.... I will be starting my new job!!! I appreciate all of you for helping me to sort my thoughts, and for the encouragement.
I have to say that the job market is still pretty poor and that their reports of lower unemployment rates may be true, however, there are so many jobs that are preying on those without work that it makes looking rough. I don't know how they expect good workers when they want to pay them with pennies and peanuts but seems like the trend lately, which is sad. But I ended up getting a job with a friend who I have worked with in the past, and according to him the position is much much less stressful than our previous sales job, and it is about helping kids eat healthier which is something I can back too and feel good about selling
Thank you to all who helped send good luck and vibes my way! I start work today !!!! woooooo HOOOOOO!!!!
The Tangie tent:
Well today is the day! I flipped the girls to flowering so tomorrow will mark day 1 of flowering! I was going to wait because I had an offer to try out a new light, but haven't heard back yet from the company as I believe the new lights are still in the process of being developed so I couldn't wait any longer to flower or I would have had to rent the apartment above mine for the height...LOL j/k so I decided its time to get things moving, and when the new product comes, I will exchange out the lights and finish the grow with them, as well as do a full grow under them for the next run. I'm not going to say who the company is, or what product to leave a little excitement for when the time comes but I am extremely happy to be considered by them.
So the tangies are doing great, even though I lost a few leaves upon my last watering due to me waiting a little too long and they wilted a little more than I wanted, but they bounced back really well and things are moving along
My last feeding was just a little bit of Cal/Mag, some potassium sulfate and some spinosad for protective/preventative measures even though I haven't seen any spider mites or pests for over a month, I just want to keep it that way
So today is the last day of veg/first day of flowering and can't wait to see how things evolve in this grow. The tangies smell amazing and are getting very very strong in odor, so I may have to think about replacing my carbon scrubber after this grow, but I think I may be able to use the current one for the next few months, along with maybe some air fresheners
The Veg/Mother tent:
After last update I decided to give the girls a haircut, as they were getting extremely bushy and large, so I took a good 6" to 1' off of most of the plants, and trimmed up the rest to make for more room, more light penetration and to reduce their size until I am ready for them in my next grow. I found something very interesting on my blue dream and I am glad that I found it now, but have you ever seen a plant in Veg under 18/6 produce male pollen???? I found that on the blue dream, 1 branch that I had trimmed off developed a cluster of male pollen sacks and they had opened but luckilly that I found it and was able to remove the sacks before anything got cross pollinated in my other tents, and since nothing was in flowering, the timing couldn't have been better
has anyone ever seen that??
Since the blue dream has yet to be tested on the quality and flowered, its very possible that the genetics may be bad or not the best as I got them from the "shill" clone lab, so I still have yet to see how the plant will flower, but it will be part of my next grow after the tangies are done. Other than that, all the other plants are doing exceptionally well and continue to grow healthy leaves and branch out.
The clone tent:
The tangie clones are all doing well, and after a little adjustment to the hot cooked soil they are now showing full growth and new leaf development so I knew that it was time to flower my other tent. Each clone is labeled with the corresponding number to the mother plant so as the plants in the flowering tent mature and show sex, I will be able to throw away the males and keep the females as well as have a copy of each one so when the best pheno is picked, I will have the genetics to go off of
