So much great veggy greens in here :) can't wait to see how these all turn out soon. Il Nino is scary, so are your pests and humidity, yet somehow you always end up with some amazing sparkling pictures to share with us! :Love: Did I say how beautiful your plants are already? They really are. :popcorn:

Thanks SG! I'm happy with it all, normally I'd have much bigger and healthier bushes this time of year, but since winter and spring went so well for me, I guess it's reality that I'm a little "behind". I couldn't vegetate under CFLs and force flower at the same time (same chamber) so it set me back a lil' bit. I'm just thankful that my favorite strains took well to the reveg and was able to clone them and keep 'em going. I'm hoping these 3 main plants will grow and become something presentable, they're just a bit small - but I'm thankful for them because considering the amount of the growth they've undergone, it's really awesome. So now that I got the clones they can flower if they want, whatever they produce I'll be thankful for, it's the new and future clones I'm gonna be putting everything into, once I get clones off those clones I can solidify a winter crop, and from there solidify a 2016 spring crop. So far so good, today I flushed most of the plants, and then served a light fertilizer solution. I also inoculated the Blackberry plant (which will probably be the plant with the biggest buds), seems to be taking well to it. Also it's almost time for another azamax application. Anyway, I will take some more sparkling pix later on. Today I took two clones off the Underdawgs, so now I can focus on vegging and training all the clones. I'm also going to release the Underdawg mothers, though their yields won't be big, I can at least focus vegging the clones and keeping all the strains alive and fully functional now.

Also I am aware of the slight chlorosis which has been a small issue since I made the mistake of serving my inoculation tea to a dry soil. ALWAYS be sure to apply fertilizer solutions only after watering with fresh water! This mistake can really affect yield and general plant growth. Due to this small mistake, my speculations are that magnesium became locked out due to too high of a nitrogen concentration (available immediately). So for the past 1-2 weeks I've been flushing them to clean up the "ion highway", I then applied another dilute fertilizer solution and "planted" the containers in the tent where they belong (I had been keeping them in the main garden for some pure sunshine and breeze - which seems to have helped a lot). So even though there is still a slight chlorosis, I've been monitoring them they look a lot better, starting to strengthen up and I see the two specimens (JD+ SC) overcoming it soon. The leaves should start to become more green (efficient chlorophyll production) and things should start to spread out and stretch into more natural positions. The Blackberry plant will probably be the nicer producer of those three specimens, overall I'm very happy with the progress of the revegetated specimens, not perfect but it will do for a nice lil' crop. I'm also planning on releasing three Underdawg specimens to accompany them, and it should look nice once they all get established.

Will update more on that later :volcano-smiley: :peace:

Les, I know you've used Growology nutes so I was wondering does this apply to them as well? I have 3 plants on a Growology feeding regiment.

It absolutely applies to an even higher degree considering it's the epitome of inorganic nutrients. It's all fast acting instantly available forms of nitrogen or phosphate, it can easily overtoxify the plant and burn the roots, which I have seen it do many times. D&S is good if your plant is deficient all around, it's good for a "jump start", and it also contains a nice little dose of micronutes, so it's a strong supplement.

In my opinion, any fertilizer solution should only be served after the plants are thoroughly watered, regardless of whether it's an organic tea, or anything else. James the Green was very avid about his watering techniques and how much they would affect final yield and quality. Doing this also plays into the importance of the "wet-dry" cycling that Cannabis enjoys so much.

Never feed a dry pot a nutrient solution because, in my experience, the chances are you'll end up with burnt leaf tips or an instant overtoxicification problem that can lead to lockouts and problems.
 
Thanxx Relaxed one...
 
Some pictures for fun using a negative filter and three dimensional bulge effect for a lil' bit of of good ol' photographic surrealism using Cannabis; note that the following images are processed, edited, and developed in false color :thumb:

man that probably explains so much of my current issues (as describe in the the forum the mountain). The ion exchange is something I wish to learn more about I'll Google it for sure. As always thanks for sharing and your insights as well Lester.

You're welcome High yogi, hope all is well in your world. :Namaste:
 
A couple of "in-progress pics" for these two plants, really starting to look a lot better and take off now, sort of as I predicted, but this JD plant is exploding with growth, I pruned and LSTed it to open the canopy up, as before it was a hunk of a bush and I could see straight away that if I didn't open her up a bit I would see inhibited airflow and most likely mold problems in mid-late flower...

JD - ~48 days into revegetation and stretching now

SC - ~also 48 days into reveg, and getting ready to flower

I'm real happy everything sorted itself out metabolically after the "feeding mishap" earlier on. Fresh sunshine, fresh breezes, and fresh flushes really helped 'em work through it. :Namaste:
 
It has been said many times, Lester, but you really do grow such beautiful plants! I am always inspired when I stop by here. :thankyou:

Thanks for the kind & flattering words MagicMediwana! :thanks: :circle-of-love:

Here are some more pics of the other specimens, I should also note for the journal that I did go ahead and release 3 Underdog specimens into the tent

And then here is the Blackberry going into flower (it looks like there is only one main top, but there is actually two on this one)
