Good morning all,
I took longer then planned to do my update because yesterday was very rough on me, emotionally. Then while waiting for the lights to turn on so I could peek in and take some new pictures I started posting on a thread that honestly had me seriously thinking I may be going crazy.
3 pictures of a single plant asking if it was a male or female. It looked more male to me but it was not completely clear as to sex for sure so I recommended to be patient. I was 2nd to reply on it. So I move on to a few regulars journals just to see whats new and touch base, then I see the same thread with a new post so I check back in to see if I was on track with my diagnosis. Low and behold I see no post from me, but I do see new posts from others who answering basically the same way I did. On to more journals, oh a new post on the 3 pictures of the male/female question. I click and SOB I have the original post but my new post is gone and so are everyones else. Gone, gone GONE. I know I had a rough day yesterday but now I am beginning to think, do I need medical attention? Am I just going crazy? OH GOD what has become of me.
Turns out I am a complete idiot, the same guy start 2 identical threads with the exact same 3 pictures and I was responding back and forth on both of them.
LuciferP has no idea how much he drove me crazy, yet in the long run helped me. I laughed so hard and am still laughing.
Hope you all did not mind my long story but I found it so delightful and funny I had to share it.
Temps/RH% are staying within the range I want 76 degrees to 84 as my high levels 50%RH in veg tent and low to mid 40's on my flower tent.
no signs of insects or insect porn (apparently insects do not get it anymore then I do)
So the veg tent is doing nicely with the 3rd grow line up looking nice and healthy, Was a bit concerned about them when I defoliated them and forgot to turn the cloner back on a while back, was not sure how well they would do, but they seem to be bouncing back nicely and very happy.
My 2nd grow line up is looking happy as well though I do need to get in and spend some quality time with them to prep them for the big game ahead.
The flowering tent has me a bit excited, though I am sure what they are going through is completely normal for them at this stage of development. I am seeing the development of trichomes on some of the buds but not on all yet. I know this is early in the game, but a strong offense IMHO is better then a strong defense. I read in one of my fellow growers journals he is using a magnifying glass with his smart phone to get such wonderful pictures of his buds. Time to start dabbling with that idea. And while my memory slips me as to which one it was, a big thanks ahead of time for that idea.
I can not say thank you all enough for taking this journey with me, all of your wonderful comments and suggestions have made this grow so much fun for me. I only hope the big finale is just as much fun, and for the advancement of my knowledge I will even break down and buy a scale and figure out what the final yield turns out to be per watt.
Life is short, no matter how long you get to live, so enjoy it while you can.
A huge
to everyone
some of the new-to-me things I'm seeing in your grow. You probably mentioned it early on, but why the clay on top of the soil?
