Yeah nice, not sureYou can vote in competitions and enter competitions now
I will enter any but I will vote I love going through the grows and selecting what I like most from what I can see.
Nah do I just click the drop down and go to comp and then select a name to vote? I’ll check it out
Pretty much
plants are looking great even with the small issue with PM, Justin bred some nice ones there i like the RT i think it'll get pretty chunkyDamn I keep ignoring my own journal!
How about a Wednesday update on my tent-grown winter autoflowers? They're not much to look at but they're all I've got.
Starting off with the traditional SaugaView®:
Left to right, that's Queen G on day 73, Queen G 2 on day 65, and Ruby Tuesday on day 76.
And from the front:
I've had to do some manipulation of the photos in order to make them clearer so apologies if they seem a little "off."
QGa:
QGa2:
RTa:
Not much to say about them other than I have to keep spraying them for PM and they're really sticky. I'm already sick of looking at them so I'll scope the RTa this week and see whether it's getting close. I must say I'm not really enjoying tent growing generally so I certainly won't be changing my style after this!
Thanks for stopping by.
NOTE:
For those who haven't been over to the contests, it's the last day to vote and there are a lot to go through between OTM and OTY. Head over and take a look since a few of them are nail biters. And even folks with just a few votes would appreciate another if that's the one that strikes your fancy.

Always good to encourage the little engine that could!
LOL I loved that bin-bag grow.
That's interesting since my lights never go off. They do smell more after I water them but I thought it was just because they get jostled a bit when I do it.
I have not, Are you thinking of potassium bicarbonate, which is another option for PM that @Melville Hobbes has used in the past?
Will do, thanks!
Howdy RKPH andto my perpetual grow journal! Thanks for stopping by and reading through some of the older stuff here.
I'm not sure having your flowers sparkle when you smoke them is a bad thing (I've never flushed nor have I seen it happen), but I can tell you that cutting back iron at the end will not change the mineral content of your flowers. Cannabis flowers don't give up their nutrients the way the fans do since the plant is singularly focused on protecting them during times of deficiencies.
Iron (and the rest of the micros) is important to the plant, and for most folks it would be virtually impossible to remove that from their diet whether using nutes or growing in LOS.
Hi sb, only 14?
You always bring the party wherever you go!
Lol not a problem at all!Sorry
Thanks con! I'm just happy that they're not spogs®.
Nice to have you around!!
Lots of very cool people here and some great growers as well. Plus you'll come to see that there's some pretty hilarious people here as well!! Something around these parts always gives me a chuckle. Happy Thursday!!Thanks Scottay nice to be here

because of the heat and light damage this run got at some point during late veg..
Nice pics as well my fellow SLOW HEAD! Stay high until you fly!
I'm sure you've seen all the articles on controlling PM, but ran across something the other day mentioning H202...Thank you Carmen, and they are definitely frosty! I can barely get near them without ending up with sticky fingers.
I'm a dyed-in-the-wool schlepper!
Thanks Carcass! I'm sure there will be if I can keep them from disintegrating before harvest.
Thank you Stunger but you really give me too much credit! I water them, rotate them 90º each morning, and spray them for powdery mildew. Oh, and sometimes I open the tent flap even more (it's never closed all the way) if it gets too warm or moist in there. That's about it. Any goodness I pull from these are down to Justin's breeding!
That's interesting. Potassium bicarbonate is actually listed on research docs as being a PM treatment. I recall that @Melville Hobbes mentioned it was pretty hard on his plants, but I could always try a lower strength than he was using (which I'll have to look up).
Are you in an MLM alkaline water program?
I will probably stick with the citric acid for this grow but would love to see you test both baking soda and potassium bicarbonate to see how they compare.
I'd say the best way to prevent fireworks when you smoke is to get the seeds outta there first!
I've never seen an iron deficiency in my cannabis plants (my lemon trees get it though), but if you're fixing yours with a foliar spray that's a simple way to get ahead of it. And I'm with you on stripping the popcorn after stretch (#nolarf) and during flower, but I try to leave as many fans as I can so the plant doesn't expend any energy trying to replace them.
If you're spraying them with anything it's probably a good idea to wash, but if you stop when flowering starts then you can probably skip it. Though even LOS growers find that washing gets the dust and fur off and makes for a more even dry.
Thanks!
LOL! I've said it before and I'll say it again: I've got great subscribers here.
Thanks Shnookie! I went through a lot of fixes when I first got it, including milk and H2O2, but I didn't find them effective enough for me. I can tell you that they didn't do any damage either if anyone wants to give them a try.
Very true. Aiming to not have seeds in my buds, but if that happens, usually they will drop during grinding the bud.I'd say the best way to prevent fireworks when you smoke is to get the seeds outta there first!
#nolarf
for some reason I found that hashtag really fascinating ! Are you not stripping away any fans or just leaving the plant get rid off the leaves natural way ? I got carried away sometimes to only find out that I almost "defoliate" (if you can even call it that in my case) all the leaves that has even smallest hint of purple colour on stem or some other colour than lighter green... maybe cutting down morning coffee and spliffs before going to grow room would help 
haha.
I was thinking more about the 70s where even after we thought it was clean, a seed would explode out of the joint and singe your eyebrows!
I lollipop about a week before flip to drive all growth to the tops, and then after stretch I take off all the lower buds and branches that won't be tops, but I leave the corresponding fans, figuring that a. the plant will replace what I remove, b. all photosynthesis is good, and c. the plant may want to eat them later in the grow. I keep taking any new larf that appears right up until about 2 weeks from harvest.
Some folks go practically 100% Agent Orange on their plants, but it never seemed like a good idea to me.
LOL!
You're funny, I'll go months.
