Subbed, Awesome Journal. Just starting my own grow(just sprouted). And NL was going to be my first choice, went with Blue Mystic instead. But NL is definitely going to be one of my next batch
Welcome Dislike! It will be nice to watch this grow finish out together.
Grab a couch, there's, oddly enough, plenty to go around. Relax and get relaxed.

Day 47
A quick check on the plants last night. Most of them were due for water after only two days. I meant to water them last night but was running on very little rest and I fell asleep. I fell victim to the "I'm gonna rest my eyes for a few minutes" trap and woke up the next morning.
I think I'll play the delayed watering to my advantage tonight and use the opportunity to move things around while the containers are light. I think they are about done stretching (?) so this would be a good time to level out the canopy (raise and lower containers) and get them situated for the last half of their life cycle. Additionally, there is one pretty looking plant in the back I'd like to move up front for easier picture access. I snapped a few pics of her this morning before heading out to work.
Happy Hump Day,

Day 47 continued
I think I've been following the wrong nute schedule. I just noticed the one I had been using was for recirculating hydro systems rather than a DTW like mine.
Watered 100% strength based on GH Flora DTW schedule vs REC schedule
5Gal + 5ml Grow + 20ml Micro + 30ml Bloom + 22ml pH Down
water pH 8.0 -> 6.8 -> 5.8
runoff pH 6.5
Doh!

Hey scottish, thanks!Buds forming like that id say they have finished stretch
grannyT I think you're looking for shadowman. Actually, so am I! I haven't seen his journal update in about a week. I hope he's doing well. Anyway, I'm pretty sure he's using the 420 Soil.
I've got Pro-Mix in my containers
Best wishes,

Oopsy!! Sorry about that Obi !! Pro mix must be good cause your plants are liking it. I was sent a free bag of promix for a large order I placed. I haven't opened yet but looking forward using now after seeing your plants.
Best of Luck,

Hi ColoradoKid. Its good to see ya. Thanks for dropping in and thanks for the feedback
The rearranging went well. I think the timing was about perfect. Vertical growth has been minimal over the last week so I think they will ride out the remainder of the grow in their current spots.
Have a great weekend,

I checked on the plants last night. Vertical growth has indeed stalled out. In fact, I don't really notice any veg or flower growth anywhere. I'm a little concerned. I hope they are simply going through a hormonal change rather than stunted from something I may have done.
They are still drinking. The containers continue to get lighter at an increasing pace. So, something is going on in there. I will most likely be feeding them tonight or tomorrow. I will try to take some pics and measurements, too.
I have removed the cups of water from the grow box. The humidity level is steadily climbing week by week. At last check it was at 47%. I need to get a handle on it asap. I'm hoping the new, larger inline fan I have coming next week will do just that.
Cheers,

Obi my friend, have you done any backbuilding yet? I forgot if you said you had or not. The link is here LA's Quick Guide To Simple Backbuilding Technique For Buds!. LA does a great job of explaining it.

I have not done any backbuilding. I've been trying to keep things pretty simple but it seems as though backbuilding may be worth a shot. Thanks for the heads up.

Day 50
Watered with plain water at pH 5.8. 4.5 gallons dispersed between 7 plants. Run off was about 6.4.
I nearly fed them again. I realized I had given them nutes several times in a row. They should be due for a simple drink. Not a whole lot more to add. It's late and I'm feeling pretty tired.
I snapped a few pics. Things look larger in the pictures than they really are.
