Dunno watering your plants probably a good idea!

I could spin some BS about advanced droughting in early flower - which is what I’m telling myself. Double the stress with the turbo flip. But yeah was selling weed on beachfront and forgot to water this morning.

I like my rationalisation though!

Less than an hour later and they’re perky again!

Like really. 12 OG Kush for fun. I have the best train set 😅

But all powered by Skin&Eyes
 
So annoyed - lost this whole thing.

A video below, The Lad and me get the Skin&Eyes thing. His day job is gardening. He grew up in a jungle village. He know what to look for, can put his arm in the tent and pinch the skin. Read the plants. But these are the things we look for. Our current worries. We will probably swap a plant out and harvests those two autos in - 10 Days? Any support in the room for 10 Days?
Its another video but I'm conscious my jerky camera style is not great so this one I've kept short and tried to be really slow with movement. They're just plants at flip right now, short of having cannabis eating cockroaches on them its hard to be too worried about them right now. We have some in reserve, see how they settle after the up pot. But they're a pretty fine bunch.

Plus the Temp/Rh/Co2 - its a struggle in the tents, here, yeah. We got this.

 
There's 2680w of @Mars Hydro lights in those photos and videos:

Add these in and its 3630w of Mars lights, plus the three, soon four tents and fans myriad.

Apart from winning the light in this grow I got no special discounts or anything like that. Pretty sure they don’t like me much 😂

i reckon the best premium lights for home growers. I haven’t had hands on with the other big players here but I hsve grown under these, I know the specs, for better and worse, and saw how the biggest light manufacturer of all doesn’t like them. They must be doing something right!

But yeah great stuff. Cool to touch. Plenty bright.

Thanks for the changes to your directorial style...it's greatly appreciated! That said it allowed me to spot this (and I'm assuming that & Co has not been by to lollipop these yet):

If that's a leaf wrapped on itself, whenever I see that it usually means a bug has built a nest and laid eggs in there. Just something to take a look at if you can find it!

Didn't you say & Co burned her cheek on one? Or was that the old ones? Hard to keep track of the 21 lights you have hanging around!

Not sure if I got it in shot put the same plant I showed The Lad it and unfurled it - it sprang back. Have one downstairs as well. I’ve seen it before after up pots. I’ve always thought it was root related after that. Like a pathway got blocked or broken and it needs to reconfigure. There’s a couple not super happy post up potting.

The FCE series, still in use but different diodes and design.

Stretch doesn’t seem to be happening really. I need to up my watering game. Been out of the house quite a bit the last few days. That’s settled down now, Terp King has gone. Couple of weeks to Cambodian mate, then Farmer. Watering takes 45 minutes now. Lot of plants!

The last lot were bigger though no OG Kush in there. I think I’ve been a bit slack on watering them. Really going for
It now. 3-4 times a day. No more falling over. Checked at 10am, two hours after lights on and fallen over again. They’re getting there now though apart from one laggard 50-70cm. Really want 1m though or I’ll miss a kilo by a mile a kilometre.

Is your watering not automated yet?

Too much to go wrong.

Plus there are I think 9-10 valves to turn to direct the two tanks to different places.

For this tent its easy enough. I set the valves for this tent and water in the morning. Press the blue button. Press again after 3 minutes. Done it twice already today. At 6pm I’ll do again and then do the two other tents and upstairs.

Its just routine, I was out of the house a lot more than usual last week visiting dispensaries and spending a bit of time with the Terp King. Reckon it cost me some final height.

These two are 80cm and 60cm Autos. Untopped or anything so essentially single cola plants. I guess 3.5 and 2.5oz I’d expect the OG Kush to go more but average it out at 3oz x 12 = 36oz

Another two paragraphs lost again “Security error” meh.

Anyway maybe its still on. More gas would have helped.

Light defol, I think they need more lower down. Neatened up the irrigation (that lone pipe across the front it now gone, as is the loop. Fed ‘em twice in 4.5 hours. Lowered the light. They really need to understand I’m back out of my fugue and mean business.

The 36 Hour pre flip darkness? I’m not calling flower yet. In fact the ones upstairs not given 36 hours look closer to calling flower. Dunno, I’d rather not lose the growth time having done it once.

It might sell better if you didn't use it as a doormat.

Its Moroccan style hash. In Afghanistan and Pakistan they add resin as well to give it a blacker colour. That’s next level stuff. This is just kief pressed under 4T of pressure for about a week. I was re cranking the press once twice a day.

It started this big

And ended up 5-6mm thick. It should be pretty strong 😅
