Pretty Pictures
As part of my ongoing effort to bring you as much beauty as possible, here's a couple pictures that show up close the interior of a couple Zkittlez buds. She's going to be pretty!

That's a lot of math.
More than I can do.
Here do this, two full flower rooms 8-10 per room.
And another 30 in veg x what ever carry the two and and you get 50 gallons of fun a day.
That's just watering, try getting that done on uppotting week.
Then training, cloning and all the little things that go with it.
It was fantastic, but now you have a minor glimpse of the daily workload doing a coco crop.
I've a bunch of solo's to water now.
Not the same but I'm grateful for this nonetheless.
I'm jealous Amigo, I miss the old coco under the finger nails.
Stay safe

I was just wondering 77 gallons for a week.I just still have a hard time imagining an entire crop like that of coco. JESUS.
If they were in soil what would you have fed them?
10 - 12 gallons possibly?
How can a soil grown girl compete with that.
I know they don't eat the entire 77 gallons but even half is triple that of soil possibilities.
You wouldn't even do that volume in dwc think about that.
So how do you get big ladies fast?
COCO for the win again.
Unless I was seriously restricted on my time I'd never bring a pot of dirt into a tent again.
It' definitely has some advantages but soil is too slow for me.
I like a little excitement in the room, I just don't have the patience for soil.
He says as he mixes in more worm castings.
Oh good morning Mucker.

What's soil?

Good point about of course they aren't DRINKING 77 gallons a week. Lmao. Even in coco, come on...that's just what it takes to get to 15-20% runoff each time. I thought about running to just a few drips of runoff each time, just to save myself some time, but I was concerned if I did that I would be inviting problems. This way I have none, and I have zero need to flush.

Good Morning @Azimuth, I have one for you if you don't mind offering your input.
I am long past being able to rotate these plants. They basically don't need to move anymore, other than potentially underneath supports a la the mystery plant, or some version. Looking at the size these colas are going to be, I can already tell it is 100% impossible that I WON'T need support. The underneath stuff is easy, and I have as much room as I need down there to work. But the top is going to fall all over the place. The buds are going to be way too long and heavy not too.
1. So what I'm thinking is, that at this point, I might as well go ahead and install my net. I have a stretchy one that covers the whole tent which is easily installed with a bit of squares cut strategically to accomodate the Pelonis fan withou moving it. I'm pretty sure I can make it work one way or another around the fan. So that's one idea.
2. The other idea is to take my spool of green, heavy gardening twine, and using the extra CFM bars in my tent, run a series of lines at strategic spots for support where it may be needed more than others. That is a pain in the ass but could be done.
3. The last idea is, I have 6' lengths of bamboo, and I could put the CFM bars at the exact same height on the two non-door sides, and lay a series of cross bamboo lines, which I could then tape in place and use to tie stems to when the buds get big.
4. Or, I just let it go and play it by ear.
What I can't do is yo-yos from above as I can't get high enough. I can install a net, but that's about it. Assume I am already on top of the underneath support. Would you have any thoughts on this? Please and thank you!!!!

Morning Jon! Everyone looks perfect as we've come to expect! How much longer until you start choppping something?

Hiya BK! Lmao. Soon I hope! The first one to chop will clearly be the Zkittlez. To my eyes she's about a week out. We'll see. After that it will be Titan. I have no idea when she's going to finish, but before the tent for sure. I think next up after that will the Mystery Plant, who is on a significantly faster flower than the rest. Then the Jack auto right on her tail. And then finally the real harvest, the two giants. That's the order I believe we're looking at.
Hi Jon, and Good morning!
Hmmmm. Let me see. I've never had that "problem" before.
The net idea is the one that would probably have to be done sooner than later since it will be increasingly difficult to add as the plants and buds get bigger and floppier.
I like your #3 idea since that gives you the most flexibilty and easiest disassemble on the back end. You could put the basic framework up against the tent supports and then add additonal cross supports as, and only where, needed. And then taking it down is easy because you can take it apart by individual poles.
I did a scrog "net" early on in my experimentation and even for my small plants it was kind of a PITA after I got it in place. I had to change my watering routine and working on the plants was more difficult as well.
The poles give you infinite flexibilty and will only be in the way where needed (which for you probably means everywhere
)Whatever you do, I'm looking forward to the pics of your solution.

Elora
Underside Support
1. 1x4 support. This got this side of the canopy off the front door of the tent.
2. Fence type support. This supports the right side of the plant and gets the buds off the side wall.
3. This bar is stuck deep in the pot and keeps the fence in place.
4. Look how happy the colas are to be off the side wall of the tent and standing at attention.
5. About as happy as these are to be off the door and with improved posture.
Heh.

Day 71
I had to go back and find the last time I posted what day we were on, and was rather surprised to find we are on day 71 today with this girl. Long auto. Much more photo-esque, yet another photo-esque trait this Double XL seems to possess. She's two to three weeks out yet, we're looking at close to 90 day auto. The buds are beginning to look a little more bud like, vs. the masses of nothing but growing pistils everywhere. A little. This plant takes it time to do everything. You can see how slowly the color is creeping in - it's a snail's pace. Very interesting. It's as if all the plant's energy has gone into nothing but making these buds grow, which I know is how it really is, but in this case I mean ALL the plant's energy, lmao. As in, she's not even wasting any energy on making color, just fattening up the buds. Usually by now we are much further along in terms of looking closer to finished buds when it comes to an auto. For those who like to know flower time, this girl started to show flower on about day 36, very late for an auto in my experience, and glorious for training. So if you go by that, we're on about day 35 of flower after 36 of veg.
Here's a four bud walk up Titan Mountain.
Lowest Level Bud:
2nd Level Bud:
3rd Level Bud:
Cola Bud:
Then just for shits and giggles I took a picture for scale. Ok, it's not as big as the entire nute bottle. But I've had worse comparisons, that's for sure. This is the smaller of the two colas.
