How about a late Sunday night update for those early Monday risers?
Finally got around to making the Gibberellic Acid (GA3) spray for the Candida-seeda project, so let's roll up onto the sidewalk and take a look.
First, all credit for this method goes to @The Celt and his post here. I'll post what I did but as always, I'd recommend checking out my source as well.
Got the GA3 off of Amazon:
I measured out 10ml of 91% iso because it's hard to dissolve GA3 in water:
Then I weighed 0.3g of GA3 to mix into the iso:
Shake shake shake. It dissolved in about 15 minutes, but I did not shake it most of the time. Per Celt's recommendation here, I used 2 liters of water for the 0.3g of powder (distilled because why not):
After stirring it all together, I poured whatever fit into this small spray bottle that I taped up to block some light:
The rest I dumped down the sink because I don't think it keeps well. The spray bottle stays in the fridge when not in use.
I took off some side branching on one of the two non-flowering Candidas and sprayed the whole thing lightly:
When it dried I moved it back into the sun. I'll be spraying it once a day for 5 days and then flipping it.
I also did the post-stretch thinning on the Carnival on flip day 24 (#nolarf):
And sprayed the whole thing with 1% citric acid spray, which was the winner so far of the three-spray spray-off (diluted milk, straight H2O2, and citric acid). More on that at another time.
Last for tonight, I put the @Weedseedsexpress summer grow into flower, so Monday (calendar day 202) is flip day 1 for the Power Plant and Chocolope. Here are the plants currently at 12/12:
I took the strips down to 180 watts to save some electricity. The plants are under the lights less than two hours a day.
Which means that these move into the tent with the light on all night (at 120 watts but concentrated over a smaller area):
I'm hardening off the two Carnival clones and will make one a mother. To keep my mothers at a max of four plants, I'll then be flowering the Fruit Punch mother as I have more fem seeds of that one.
I hope your weekend went well, at an acceptable distance from those you don't live with. And possibly from those you do.

Hard pass. I'll stick to
If I have to start mixing more things I'll just go back to adding Armor Si!

Thanks for the sage advice as always, Shed! 
to the my perpetual journal StRoostifer! I'm glad you decided to join the fun. Even the most incredibly patient person on the planet shouldn't read all 1070 pages. Pick up from right here, with a seed-making project under way, a Carnival
