Coming along nicely, Rifleman. Doesn't seem to be showing any(more) nana's does she? I think what you were asking about in the photo are her pistil and calyx. Very normal.
I'm loving the amount of hair on these chicks.

Thanks, no. I believe that is exactly what I'm seeing. This is like having a kid for the first time, every little sniffle sends me running in a panic. Like I said above, most of my questions can be answered with patience. I wonder if I could buy some at Lowes.

I think Lowe's has an app for that. Just an FYI.

Only available for the iPhone6. Us droid users are better off with the Home Depot version. It doesn't really give you any more patience, but it does show pretty pictures and bright colors to distract you for an hour or so each day.

Very impressive first grow man! 
And a great journal as well, very detailed and well organized. I wish I had found it in the beginning but I'm glad I caught you before harvest 
Subbed.
Did you use a metal-hilide for veg or hps all the way?

Thanks Drewdrop. It has been hps all the way. 750w right now. If we have a warming trend it will be back to 600W due to heat issues. Never thought I'd hope for cold weather.

Water Change Day-(last time feeding the autos?)
Another week has passed and we are another week closer to harvest. The autos have now out smelled the photo plants. What was usually a heavy skunk smell has given over to the sweet sticky smell of buttermilk or used milk after a bowl of fruit loops. It's odd for sure, but I'm enjoying every minute of it. The photo plants are being heavily abused and tied down to limit growth until the autos are done. Rewired my screen yesterday for 2x4" holes instead of the 2x2" I originally made. Not a lot more going on other than daily ph checks and adjustments back to 5.8, so I'll just go ahead and list the weekly data and pics. I hope you enjoy, remember to click the pic for a larger view.

Thanks Jesstar. Temps aren't too bad, usually low 80s at canopy level, and low 70s on the ground.
Yep. Same story all round. My 100's must be why I can't get the same hair and THC growth I see around the place. Also might be why they are turning orange so early. Dangnabbit. Re: RH. Is 43% where you roughly like to keep it? I keep mine down 25-30 so that may be off as well..
Thanks for the info, bro.

It was high today, I had the tent wide open for a few hours while I did a water change. With everything closed up it is usually closer to 30% If you read back through my journal you'll find the date I discontinued using my humidifier to bring the RH down for my flowering plants. During veg it runs around 52% Not really a planned thing, just where it ends up with and without the humidifier. Hope the info helps.

Thanks for the compliments man. I've learned almost everything right here at
I read a couple hours a day, 3 or more days a week, absorbing as much as I can. Being a senior citizen, I'm late to the game but have plenty of time. Keep at it and don't be afraid to ask for help. Most will fall over themselves to help. Good luck, and stay tuned....harvest in a few weeks.- Thread starter

Thank you LA. I'm having way too much fun. There has been a learning curve, but not nearly as steep as it would have been without this forum and all the help offered. Many thanks again.

Thanks WW. There is one less on #4 today. I was in checking ph this morning, and as I was leaving the tent I noticed I had broken a bud by hitting the light overhead. Fk'n Winnie the Pooh on a pogo stick!!! Oh well, what to do? Picture, weight, then hang to dry. Damn I hate this, but things happen. At least now I'll get a test smoke, as I couldn't have brought myself to cut one off early. Oh well, 5" long and 18g wet.
