The grow area is running normally.

The plants continue to build flower and seem to have stopped their stretch. :hmmmm:

Hopefully the tops of some of these stalks are not too close to the light. :hmmmm:

We'll see.

Sally grow area

My hopeful method to keep the CO2 recirculating around the whole grow area. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Both Sally and Sue.
A 20 inch fan blowing into the front of both the MAC (Sue) and Purple Ghost Candy (Sally) grows. A 20 inch fan is positioned between the other two and blowing straight up, to get the heavier CO2 off the floor and moving around the room.

Looking under the MAC fan. The 20 inch floor fan blowing towards the ceiling to get the CO2 off the floor and back into the canopy. Dehumidifier beside the floor fan.

Thanks Stone

They are doing well and looking good.

I will hit both sides with 40ml more CalMag+ when I check on them today and top up the reservoirs. Gonna try using half of maximum during reservoir change and the other half on day four after a new reservoir. I'm also keeping the PH in the 6-6.5 range on both grows. I seem to have a problem with my leaves yellowing in mid to late flower, since switching to leds a few years ago. Before, using HIDs, I don't remember having the yellowing problem so bad, running the PH in the 5-6 range. :hmmmm:

The grow area is running normally.

The plants are looking good and flowers continue to build.

Some time was spent after pictures were taken trimming things between the screens.

I've got about half of it done minus the back plant.

Just can't reach that far back into the grow. I've already finished the MAC in the Sue grow area, again minus the back plant.

The plants are drinking heavily but the PH is not dropping as hard on the PGC side, as the MAC side. :hmmmm:

The AC and dehumidifier are keeping the grow environment in the sweet spot.

We are forecast to have really hot weather for the next week. :oops:

The grow area is running normally.

I mention this at each update, to state that all the equipment is running normally with no malfunctions.

I have spent a little time clearing out the unproductive stuff between the screens.

I took a break today, and will trim some more next week. There's a lot more to cut between the screens on this side. :hmmmm:

The plants are drinking heavily and continue to look healthy

. The flowers are building but are behind the MAC next door. The PGC started flowering later. I don't remember how many days, so they may be closer than i think. :hmmmm:

Reservoir change tomorrow.

Thank you Scottay!

It's getting sticky. I had the sticky hands after trimming between the screens, and they smelled good too. :cheesygrinsmiley:

The grow area is running normally.

Found the PH way down on both grows this afternoon. :oops:

I was a little later doing my check because of Medical appointment. The water level was probably down 5 gallons when the reservoir was topped up with high PH tap water and PH up was added as well. Both reservoirs back in the 6-6.5 range.

The flowers continue to grow and the plants look good.

I'm getting pretty good light penetration so I'm hoping for better bud growth than normal, further down the stalks. :hmmmm:

The outside temperatures have been higher than normal and will continue to be so for at least another week. :oops:

I have been noticing the grow temperatures creeping up even though the AC is being controlled by a thermostat.

Turned on the 2nd AC and the the temperature is staying cooler now.

The grow area is running normally.

The reservoir PH will be checked and adjusted as necessary twice a day now, as the PH has been getting too low just adjusting once a day during the reservoir top up. :hmmmm:

I'm not seeing any negative effects on the PGC but the MAC next door has yellowing leaves.

The plants are looking good and the flowers are growing nicely.

Changed the CO2 bottle yesterday. It will probably be the last on this grow.

Next grow I plan on starting the CO2 after flip, when stretch starts. :hmmmm:

The plants are looking good and the flowers continue to build.

Starting to get more trichome development. :love:

The smell of the MAC next door is overpowering the aromas of the PGC, as they are farther along in flower and should finish earlier than the PGC.

Thanks Stone, I have high hopes.

Reservoir change this morning. Used recommended amounts of General Hydroponics three part liquid nutes for 17 gallons in Mid Bloom. Added a spoonful of Epsom Salts and 40ml CalMag+. PHed to 6-6.5.

The flowers continue to swell and more trichomes are showing. :cheesygrinsmiley:

These plant have a lot more to show. :bong:
