Mono Grows Again

[Mono]

This evening was a battle to tame the flowering tent, somewhat atleast.

I removed the last flowering critical hog, harvest will be done tomorrow.

The main issue was getting the big mother of berries under control.

I opened the big plant up and tried to train her more into a rectangular shape to free up the other half of the tent. A little super cropping to bring the middle of the plant level.

I managed to move the red dragon and purple #1 back into the tent and also added a critical hog clone to begin flowering.

Early finish at work today, sometimes it’s great owning the company so it was a productive afternoon harvesting the critical hog. Looks like she will be a comfortable 3 ounce plant dry, possibly 4 if we are lucky

Before washing

Hung out to dry.

A look at the flowering tent this evening. I’m going to do some rearranging this weekend and see if I can eek a little bit more space.

I did a little more rearranging in the flowering tent this weekend and gained enough space to pop a clone of the red dragon strain into flower.

And the bare looking veg tent.

Flower tent is gonna be a jungle!

 

[Mono]

Cheers fella, fingers crossed and all that

Red dragon is kicking into flowering mode now, and we have little buds forming on the big mother of berries.

Red dragon.

Mother of berries.

All the big plants I’ve grown have been done in 37 litres of coco, using fabric pots.

I’m thinking of using either a 27 litre or 17 litre pot for the next big plant, in the hope of running quicker wet and dry cycles.

I’m tempted to go 17 litres, but I have this nagging feeling that it won’t produce a big enough root zone to support such a large plant ...

I love them at this age, by far the best part of the grow for me. My Jack herer is about the same age.

 

[Pennywise]

I'd go with 27ltr

Looking good Mr. A!

Jack herer is a strain I’ve always wanted to grow.

I think I agree with ya bud.

When I used the 50litre pot it was rather excessive for feeding daily if I left it it took a week to dry out the pot. The 37 litre is a bit better, but still 3 days to dry the pot if left.

I suppose the logical step would be to drop it down to the 27 litre and see how that runs.

I do like the sound of a 17 litre pot running a recirculating drip feed, though.

 

[Pennywise]

I run coco so feed daily in veg and usually twice a day once flowering actually begins. The 10 gallon soft pots I run this past summer was the shizz for bigger plants.

That’s some food for thought. Cheers bud.

Flowering tent doing as it should this evening.

 

[Pennywise]

Looking super healthy in here, gonna be beasting real soon.

 

[Mono]

Quickly running out of available height in the flowering tent. Fingers crossed mother of berries has finished her upward growth.

 

[Pennywise]

You may have to super crop, good problem to have!

That’s the mission for this evening, certainly a jam packed tent. I gave her a good round of super cropping when she went into flower, seems I’ve got a stretchy phenotype with this one.
