Yes... crank up the pumps indeed. Apparently the pump station that covers my area is down a few pumps for maint. reasons... I'm somewhere in the 50% of normal pumping power range. Let's hope we can avoid a downpour 'til repairs are complete.
The pumps are seriously old and run on and odd 25 cycle power that was common pre-WWII. This requires them to create power thru a steam generator. This generator had been offline due to a fire and many of the pumps were without power. That issue has been resolved at least. Phew!

Nice!
Tead, can you identify the strain? I think you had it labeled UD1 but I also thought you said it was not UD.
UD1... most definitely. Very nice indeed! She's a killer little UD pheno.
Short and stumpy with very little stretch at bloom, so veg her out good. You'll need to do some defoliation somewhere along the line.
She sure is digging the Brix.

Some baggie cloner action yesterday. I think I'm gonna bail on the bags. They're hard to get the clones into and equally hard to get them out. Sure does work tho. I set a calendar reminder for 2 weeks when I put them in the bags and it called to me yesterday.
These are 2 PC clones. I actually culled them and decided not to plant them. You can see all the smaller new growth. There were 2 other clones in the clone bag, but they didn't get into the perlite when I put the bag together and died very early on.
This is a bag with a UD and a NL. The inner black bag is the clone container and the clear ziplock bag is a humidity dome.
A look inside
Pulled out of the 'dome'
The UD gave me grief trying to get it out of the bag...
The NL sure came out well tho.... really fat stem on her.
The results....
Just for chuckles... I love this camouflage job on an outdoor Pineapple Chunk. That's an Avocado in a little hempy pot down in the lower right corner.

It's hell when a pump fails in the gardens,,, but when a pump failure can make one have to relocate,, that sucks...
Keepem Green,, And the Johnboat's Motor has a full tank of gas...... And afew gallon milk jugs full of water that have over heated 15 times atleast... Still tastes great if your floating in that boat.. Stay dry.

I've not found a need for a boat... yet... but I sure know where to find one in a pinch.

My second car was a little convertible. It floated real well. No leaks with plugs in the floorboard drain holes - just saying

Some looks at a 2foot UD1 pot... I had to tie her down some to get her out of the light. Note the bleached buds.
After tying her down some...

How long since you grew a girl this big in your swamp?

Eons.
Not since growing outdoor in soil.
I never had the room or the lumen horsepower indoors before this year. Thus explaining the need for the upgrade for 2L to 6L pots.

Morning my friend...... tons of water flowing down on us at the moment, just thinking of all those folks in the Big Easy dealing with the water again....

Speaking of water.... Tead learned a lesson today.
My little outdoor UD was going nowhere. Doing bubkus. Notta.
I got tired of staring at her and gave her the axe.
Upon investigation, the little 2L container was way dry. Watered it yesterday. Apparently 2L is just too small to maintain moisture in the hot ass sun. Lesson learned.

Good to know. I would have guessed the perlite absorbed water direct out of the air at or below the dewpoint.

I had a friend that made one of the coolest DIY hydro grows I ever seen with 2-liter soda bottles and perlite. Ebb and Flow type. Might work great. But that is a problem.. Plants do need alittle water. You might want to try adding alittle vermiculite to add alittle moisture retention.
But is some cool DIY setups on the net.

This is actually true for this pheno as well as for Chem (OG stretches more in flowering), she benefits from long, stable veg and double or even triple fimming/topping. She actually grows best with more horizontal canopy as in SCROG, which also improves yield significantly. She should be well developed before flowering when she just gains mass basically.

I don't feel that morning dew gave me any real joy. I could see this in a cooler environment... but when the pots are seeing temps above 100f the majority of the day, evaporation occurs.
I feel the 2L's just can't hold enough water. I should have been watering it multiple times a day instead of every 2 days.
I've got a 9L pot outside. A nice reflective white PVC pot. Perhaps it will hold enough to get me thru the day with a single daily watering.
I could sure envision sculpting ladies in many different ways. I hate to see a center spike get clipped because they're so massive... it's like they're 2 plants in 1 with a nice level plateau lower portion and a single huge spike in the middle.
As my experience with the strain grows, I'll have to start getting creative in the sculpting department.

Do it once like I'm advising you and you're gonna get more smoke, I know it goes quickly

There seems to be no end of the creative growing techniques. I can't help but wonder if those clear pots gave him any grief.
I recently noticed a 3 story building with an entire wall covered in some sort of fabric pocketed growing pockets. Like a big growing wall.
