12/14/2015 Update - Just a quick update on my grow today. I have really been putting the monster cropping on the girls and they seem to be fine with it. I put my scrog on them today and will be starting to use it here very very soon. I will also be starting to add a table spoon of Epson Salts to my water and hit them on a weekly schedule with it to really bring on them cola's. All and all everything seems to be going good for the girls as they seem very Happy.. I will be updating here soon as i will be getting ready to drop the scrog and get down to business. Stay Tuned!!

Thanks Farside, It's looking like my yield will be a good one. I have to say that the LST and the monster cropping has really worked well for me on this grow. Now that the girls is under the scrog you will be seeing a big change in them in a few weeks.

12/23/2015 Update - Well today was they day that i decided to put the girls into flowering 12/12 to get them on their journey to flowering. I have been having to hit them with a little more water here lately and still doing my weekly feedings with the fish mulch and Epson salts. I have also still been pruning on the bigger fan leaves as i go to let more light in. The colas is really coming on nicely as i wanted so far, looking forward to seeing what they will do under the 1000w HPS as they mature. I will be doing weekly updates from now on so stay tuned for more of my grow..

this is making me want to build a scrog for mine! I like how much room you have with that number of plants in a 4x4. I was starting to worry my 7 were going to crowd the tent. look forward to some more updates

Ditch that fish emulsion, bro.

Contains some bad metals and other crap in it. Plus, the solution is heated and most of the minerals are lost through that process anyways. I would suggest Fox Farms or Cyco.

Lookin' good nonethless, homie!

Good lookin! Love your low and wide scrog. I will definitely be jumping into that boat next grow. To hell with this growing through the top of the tent nonsense =P

I went low as well but not scrog, LST, which is practically the same thing. I felt the scrog was to clunky for my space and I like to mess with my babies often. Your garden looks very nice and uniform, great work dude!

Thanks for the advice MrMiracleGro, but i have been growing for over 20 years and have always used this type fish mulching with great results. If it's not broke don't fix it!!

12/30/2015 Update - Hello everyone. Just a quick update on my girls for the week. Everything is going well and the girls are really taking shape and looking lovely today. I have still been hitting them with the fish mulching and slacked back on the Epson Salts this week and they seem to be loving life. I have had them into flowering a week today and already seeing them starting to flower out on all of the plants. They are really starting to fill in my scrog nicely as i wanted them to. I must say the aroma they are throwing off will make your mouth water, they have a very sweet but yet pungent scent to them. Here is a few pic's i took today for this update, stay tuned for more and Happy Growing!!

1/1/2016 Update - Well today I'm starting to drop the humidity down on my garden to Maintain a low humidity in the flowering stage. It was running about 45% and i got it dropped down to 35% as of now, i plan on dropping it down 25% to 20% the last few weeks of flowering. This process will increase my trichome production and potency of my plants to make them top shelf. I will have some more pic's to share next week for my weekly update so stay tuned for more..

1/5/2016 Update - Just messing around in the garden today and thought i would make a update of my grow. They are really starting to flower out nicely and i can already see the trichomes around all the colas. Been cutting back some on the watering and still keeping that humidity down around 30% and the temp at 75. I have still been monster cropping to keep my canopy even for my sea of green. The smell these girls are throwing off has my mouth watering..LOL Looking forward to harvest Woot Woot!!
Here is a few photo's i took today of the ladies.. Stay Tuned And Happy Growing!!

Took this photo with a blue lens, seems to make the photo clearer.

1/14/2016 Update - Just jumped on to give a quick update on my grow. Everything is going good with the girls today, they are really starting to take shape. I have been seeing some yellowing in the leaves but this is normal in flowering. Still been hitting them with the Epson salt and started them on some big bloom last week and they seem to like it. I have slacked back on the monster cropping and will not be doing anymore on them. I have to say I'm really looking forward to trying some of this grow out, the scent these girls are throwing off is unbelievable. To bad they don't have scratch and sniff photo's on here..lol Here is some updated photos i took today. Stay tuned and Happy growing!!

I'm loving this journal! They look absolutely amazing.

Can you shoot a couple pictures of how you connect your scrog to your tent poles? It looks really nice, and I'm trying to figure it out in my tent, actually.
Everything looks amazing! I can't wait til harvest!

Pull up a chair Terrnamaste. Glad to have you here, and thanks for the kind words. I just used zip ties and zipped them to the tent polls. Just have to get them good and tight without bending your tent polls and your good. I got mine tight enough to be able to raise it as the plants grow, but not so lose to where it will fall down on your plants. Hope this helps you out and your scrog question man.Thanks again for stopping by my journal and stay tuned for more.

I got so caught up in updating my ladies that i forgot to update you guys on my babies.lol I used clonex for my rooting hormone witch i have used in the past with great success. Still using the Ocean Forest soil and mixed it with some frog 50/50. I have not hit them with no nutes, both soils I'm using has what i need. I have topped all the clones a about a week or two ago and they all seem to be doing good. I did notice that the Strawberry Kush was the slowest at bouncing back form clipping them, but their looking better as they grow.

These pics was taken a few weeks ago of the babies..

Its a girl! Congrats on the babies. I'd send you a cigar but maybe a blunt is more appropriate.

Thanks for the kudos Farside. I plan on training the hell out of these clones, should make for some nice bushes in the end. I'm also going to start feeding the microorganisms in the soil on the ladies this week, with my mixture of Organic Milk,Organic Blackstrap Molasses unsulphured and water. My recipe is half cup organic milk and two table spoons of organic blackstrap molasses to one gallon jug of distilled water. This will feed the microorganisms in the soil to make the plants thrive even more. I will be doing a weekly update on the grow tomorrow with photos. Stay Tuned!
