Barbie:
This is the one that I had to crop every branch. The buds on this one are very sparse. I'm not sure if it is from the croppings, or from the main bud sites being above the light. This one is very inconvenient to have in the grow space I am considering waiting for it to bulk up a little then yank it to give myself more room. Time will tell, opinions always wanted!!!

Hey there Jim! I can sure tell those plants are putting on a lot of weight! Great Job!! Celeste looks a little thirsty on the bottom pics. I bet you took just before watering. Looks like she probably drinks a lot water!!
:goodjob:
 
Thank you CF!! Yes, that was indeed right before watering...An hour later she was perked right back up. Because she is in a 2 gallon root pot and bulking up she dries out every other day. I missed almost 3 days before I was able to water her. I had been watering them until I got run-off which was between 2 to 3 quarts in each. The last 3 waterings I only gave each one 1 quart, they are drying out more and quicker. I have even started to get some run-off after the 1 quart now. This way seems to work much better. Even my Misty plant that would never dry out is drying out every 2 days now that it is in the root pot... I love these things!!
 
LOL.. :welcome::welcome:, see you when it cools off! It's only 97 (reelfeel 105).. UGH!!!!!
I'm glad my room is in the basement and not the attic!!!

Thank you Miwa, I am just about to post another couple updates (the cheese is looking real pretty(next))

I would have had this done this morning but flash player decided to continuously crash on me and clicking on browse for the photos did nothing. Deleted the lash plug-in and viola!!
 
Cheese:
This is the one that finished stretching before the others and also started a big wave of bud growth first. Unfortunately that major growth was during one of the times I was not able to water for a couple days. What happened was the growing buds sucked all the Phosphorous and Potassium out of the leaves, leaving them to look like that until I clip them off.

She smells soooooo yummy to, I sniff a lot of skunk on this one!! (Celeste still smells better though(fruitier))
 
I'm very happy with these girls so far! They are all doing great (even though the Barbie is annoying), so I'm not depriving them of anything they need. However, if I could be giving them a luxury of tea to make them happier and healthier, in the end they will make me happier and healthier!! I still have about a month left and I should have some time freeing up soon so I can start a brew!
Not required but why not?? (other than no time of coarse)
 
The project that I stole the metal halide for (and later ditched to go with CFLs instead.).

Nutrient storage:

I'm going to wrap these top 2 shelves with mylar/plastic sheeting so it is contained. I am also going to put in a fogger so I can keep the humidity up and make it my cloning area!

Bottom shelf holds worm castings, coco block, perlite and such. As well as the built-in vaporizer... Just need to flip the switch and I can enjoy while I check out the girls!!

Everything You Have Looks Real Nice Jim! They all look like they can Pack on more weight, but I would be picking Samples Too, if I had no Herb to Smoke:thumb:. Done it many a time:blushsmile:, I know we all say wait till it's ready, but if You have no Herb to Smoke, Or You just cannot wait to have a Taste, SHIT HAPPENS!!! Good Grow Jim. SINCERELY, JAMESTHEGREEN.
 
Thank you very much JTG!!! I certainly hope so!!

My goal is 4 oz.... That should last me through my next grow... I would be much happier with 6-8 oz. though

On this last mixture of :MoreNutes: I tinkered with the K-bud some, so far I have not seen any ill effects.

Monster Bloom feeding:
Grow- 30
Micro- 20
Bloom- 60
Bio J- 8
Dark M- 8
K-Bud- 16


Cal-Mag- 10

What I gave them at max:
Grow- 40
Micro- 35
Bloom- 90
Bio J- 15
Dark M- 15
K-Bud- 25

Cal-Mag- 20

What I settled on:
Grow- 30
Micro- 35
Bloom- 75
Bio J- 15
Dark M- 15
K-Bud- 30

Cal-Mag- 20

This was all for 2 gallons of water.

I think on the next batch I'm going to cut back on the bloom a little so I can up the K-bud some.


I was also just peeking at the cheese through my 60X scope and saw some amber. So I looked through my 30X and figure it is still less than 5% amber. I am going to feed her one last time tomorrow then start the flush process. Instead of flushing with plain water I am going to brew some low dose teas and flush with that to see how it works.
