I will fallow you for sure! I just learn things about growing each day 😁 solo perlite wtf 🤣😅 now i have to choose from SIP, Hydroculture, Hydro with coco, this new one or soil... my head is a mess right now. 😭
I wish I knew 420 forum before I start spending 30€ per 50L of CannaTerra (I recommend it if you don't go bankrupt after purchasing it) 🤣

your nute and media choices are a bit limited from what we readily have here. even where i am it is more restrictive than in the states.

there's been a few folk over there try hempy. it's not hard to pick up.
 
the @SeedsMan purple ghost candy girls are growing nicely.

felt they were established enough in the new pots to go clear the bottom out and top them yesterday.
this is where we started ...


full



decent looking plant. this the same plant after ....


full




everyone all cleaned up. quite a different look now.

they all got a good feeding with a slight nute bump. running calmag at about 3/4 of a full veg dose. the side branching is already developing a bit more this morning.
 
What a pro! Always beautiful plants!

not sure i'd go that far. there's always a bump or two in the road.

Bumps in the road make you stronger. Full throttle head on. I've admired your gardening for awhile. We all have issues, its how you learn from them that matters!
 
They ready to rock now!
 
Looking nice and healthy and ready for that lower growth to take off now! Looks like you took off the top two nodes on them, is that about right?
 
You got them looking nice Bluter!

yeah. i run nodes 2, 3, 4 on the cages.
 
got a little done on the veg space and fixed the little 6 inch circ fan. cost $0.

quick tip : nearly all 4, 6, and even 8 inch fans are brushless, they don't wear out the same as heftier fans. often the only thing wrong is a buildup of dust / debris.

i've brought these back to life a few times with a simple cleaning, including taking them out of the housings and blowing the motors out with an air compressor, then re-lubricating them with some 3n1 oil or other light machine oil. once the resistance of the build up and old lube oil is cleaned up they work as new.

the @SeedsMan PGC girls got a good feeding and a little more head room.

colour is good and everyone seems happy for now. increased the dimming to 90% full up from 75%, it will stay there for the rest of veg.

pulled the cages out to have them ready, will probably cage them at the next feeding. some of my bottom nodes are near the top and eclipsing the second nodes, so i want to begin training them out soon. most of the branches won't reach the cage sides yet.
 
That topping really got them moving! And no fan I've ever taken apart to fix has gone back together correctly. :)

topping really changed a few things.
most fans don't allow you to get at the motor to clean them up. it's pretty simple to fix if you can. i haven't bought a fan for a few yrs now. the one in my veg space runs 24/7 365 even when not growing anything.
 
I had a 6" oscillating fan that would get stuck in one spot and then just click click click as it tried to break free. I got to the motor and the mechanism, cleaned and greased it, and could not for the life of me get it back to the original configuration! Pretty sure I tossed it. Next one that did that I just use in the fixed position. :thumb:

that's usually a stripped or worn plastic gear run off a side shaft. they aren't worth repairing for the trouble.

it's exactly what i would do. i have to figure out some extra circ in my flower space for this grow as well. might be a challenge as i need to do it on the cheap. still looking for work. shows are the only thing keeping me going and there aren't enough.
 
purple ghost candy girls are moving along nicely.



full




decided to give them a minor defol and cage them.
nice and bushy ..


full





cleaned up and caged ...



full




everyone all jailed up lol


full




the cages will help shape them in flower and provide support. they'll get flipped once they get to the first hoop.
 
Growing green and gangbusters in there! They're gonna love jail. :)
 
I hardly recognized them in those giant homes! Now they can get their big on!
 
things got all hung up at the flower room. was hoping to move them almost a wk ago. they were looking pretty good and set for flip ...


full




a couple minor tiny life crises later and we got this lol ...


full




they are literally begging for flip. feeding today then gonna try sort out the jungle room so they can get moved. damn things are gonna stretch my roof when they hit flower. wanna get them moved tonight.

will have to clean them up. wish i was doing a clone run after as there is some real good internal branches i have to take out.

health wise the @SeedsMan purple ghost candy are amazingly stout. i don't even have tipping and new growth is deep green and strong. i'm also running them a little hotter mix than my normal runs.

super interested as to how well they will do in flower.
