Damn man! Things have sure popped off since the last time I was here! It stopped giving me notifications again for some reason! Your plants are looking superb! Long stretch, and the top stems should hopefully fill right out! :bravo:

It looks like your getting a hang of this marijuana photography, your getting some really great photos mech!

Hope you, your wife and kids are doing well!! :cheer:

I forgot to mention, I constantly selectively take leaves off all through my grows. I find my self pulling at least one (almost) every time I open the tent lol

Hey there B... thanks for the kind words. Everything is going pretty good on my side, I hope all is well on your side too.

I stopped receiving notifications also, so Ill have to figure that out as well. And yes, things sure have been poppin over here. The buds are getting bigger everyday I love it. I need to get over to your journal and see what you have going on... it’s been a little while.

That’s awesome! Hopefully that continues!!

Yes I think if (said I) came to your journal after you post, and I not say anything I think that’s when it stops giving notifications. :hmmmm:

Oh well I’ve been trying to say something every time I visit someone’s thread haha that way it always gives me notifications. Damn is that time consuming though! :laughtwo:

That does sound time consuming... there must be another way. Haha.

I have not done much skimming around and I’m only watching a few journals, but the notifications don’t pop up anymore so I have to figure it out. Haha. Oh... my service super sucks where I’m at so I can’t do too much “searching” around without it being frustrating as heck.. that annoying fact limits me a lot. Hahaha.

Hello everybody... long time no update. I hope all is well with everyone. Things are looking really good in the tents and I’ve been watching a good amount of frost develop on these ladies, mainly on the 4 in the bigger tent, and I could not be much happier.

Today is day 29 of 12/12 and day 19 of flower for the 4 ladies in the bigger tent.

And it’s day 34 of 12/12 and day 23 of flower for the test subjects in the vertical 2x2.

I’m sorry I have been lagging on updates and I haven’t been sharing my feeding regimen with you all. If anyone has any questions please ask.

Here’s some quick pics of everybody.

Looks great in the tents the vertical grow has some very nice stacking happening. The led tent is absolutely loaded with bud sites it's going to be a great haul out of there.
I did have a question about what looks like some kind of netting on the walls of the vertical tent what do you use that for?

Thank you... as long as everything continues the way its going, I suspect I’ll beat the GPW of my last grow. I really hope so anyway... haha.

The trellis in the vertical tent was put in place so I had something that I could use to pull the branches back away from the light... I very lazily used zip ties and did not do a good job training this time around. Since it’s a test anyway I’m kinda of happy I did not train for perfection so I can measure the differences in bud density and figure out a happy medium between canopy size (distance from the bulb) and bud quality. Anyway thanks for asking. I can’t wait for my next round. It will be much more “calculated” for lack of better words right now.

Wall to wall buds!
Impressive

Thank you...

I’m going to annoy myself, and others probably, by saying “next round” again. Haha. I have big plans but we will see how successfully I can pull it off.

Stay tuned... :yummy:

DonkeyDick · Aug 9, 2019

I ‘plan’ to stay tuned. Also learning to plan to adapt when ‘plans’ change. Just me.

Wishing you every success in your endeavours.

Sounds like a good “plan” for life in general. As far as adapting goes. Thanks again.
