When 2019 is in our rear view, hooking up with you will be in my bright spots. Thanks for all your help.

Hey man thanks, and have a great new year.

I'm pretty sure it was you that I discussed fish guts foliar sprays with, well I found new information that suggests that my dose of 3ml per QT of fish guts is about 10x too weak as the recommended dose is an ounce per quart, so I just switched my mix to 15ml/QT as I'm also chasing a P deficiency, so hopefully I kill 2 birds, lol. I'll share my findings with that strength, but as is, I'm aiming to graduate to the full 30ml if the 15 goes well.

Here's some random pics out of my bloom. I unplugged the HID and dimmed the COBs all the way down, kicked off all the fans and sprayed every plant. I only used not even 25% what I mixed up and it is as follows;

1 QT RO water
1ml Polysorbate 20 as the surfactant, I think that was way too much so next I'll try 1/2ml
15ml Fish Hydrolysate
5ml molasses to combat fishy smell while giving up trace elements
A perfectly flush/level 1/4 TSP Gypsum (calcium sulfate). Next time I might try Calcium Nitrate instead of the gypsum.

Spot #8 gets filled tomorrow and #9 next Wednesday. My new milestone is getting rid of that air pot. I like the bag-in-bag a lot better. More volume and I can water them vigorously w/o worry of spilling any out the sides.

These next 2 pics are of the same bud. Nothing in here is respectably sizable, but they sure do sparkle nicely. As soon as all 9 of these spots harvest, that will begin a cycle of new genes beginning with the Girl Scout Cookies, followed by 2 Ayahuasca Purple, so I got some new genes coming down the pike. Hopefully they yield better.

This last pic shows how the polysorbate thinned out the water substantially. This stuff is better and easier to work with than Yucca extract.

I done fucked myself again. I ripped up that wavy ass linoleum and put down these click lock flooring so I could have a smooth surface to sweep and these things were definitely made to surface a finished floor. My floor is as wavy as they come which means these boards will not likely last longer than a week. Just damn!

Highya SkyB,

It's the carpet underneath that's messing you up. Your ladies look great! Cheers
 
It said right in the instructions that the sub floor needs to be clean, hard and flat. I guess push comes to shove, I'll get another set of click locks and put a layer on top, but I'm already past the point of no return and need to resolve this by keeping the plants in there and work around them. Ripping the rug from the room at this point would not work, so all I can really do is add.
 
It would take at least a 1/2 inch thickness of plywood to keep the linoleum from wrinkling.

I think a piece that big would have needed to be glued down. Sometimes I cut too many corners and get a boot in the ass as the result. I'll just walk on this floor till the joints bust, then duck tape it. It'll look ugly as hell no doubt, but I'm looking for functionality only. A smooth rigid surface for sweeping.
 
Hi Sky,
A while back you and wood (Ncaliwood?) were talking about increasing yields and he threw out some suggestions about extra veg time and late toppings. Do you guys advocate topping during stretch? I was always taught to take sharp objects out of the picture in flower. Is the first 14 or so days of photoperiod adjustment fair game for some light toppings?

The only pruning I do during bloom is to take away unwanted branches after the stretch has finished. I know some growers like to snip the tips of their buds at roughly week 5 in a process called "back building", but I've never heard of anyone topping plants in bloom. The most I do is super cropping the really long branches, but I've never tried to top during bloom. I do all of that during veg.

Your welcome :) Hey WTF is that between the cups. Lol

I'm not entirely sure, but since you're my muse, maybe you name it, and i'll upload it to thingiverse with that name? It's just a ring with an inner lip so it can sit on top of one cup and align the rim of the opposing cup.
