Thanks CL. I spent an hour down there earlier, then we both spend about 1.5 hours later in the evening. So 4 hours total, about an hour per plant. I could probably spend another hour per plant between the two nets, but I'm leaving that be. I'll end up with a bit more larf but I can live with that.Really great defol work, Iām sure glad that was you n not me. How long did it take you 2 ? btw nice looking dessertgarden . CL

Thanks Tok. They're only drinking about 3.5G/day total, and I have them at a 1.1 VPD. I'll be bumping the VPD up soon.
I will be paying particular attention to how it behaves the rest of the way. I know you've given them what they need and the other plants aren't behaving that way.
And then I've seen other Apple Betties on here that look like monsters. Hopefully she starts showing me something soon.The Apple Betty behavior has me questioning running it on my scrog.
I'm running my PB on week 4 veg all through flower. Can't see the need for Big Data with the numbers I get without it.
I'll try to remember that next timeLooking good considering how different they are! Next time put the shorties in the front though.
I'll definitely remember this next time. I agree, they probably don't need the Big Data. That said, the grows I've done following the PB schedule have looked good at the end. We'll see how this one does.
If you have found seed, then there's probably already seed on others.The Vivosun Bud Factory

The RDWC res has been pretty stable. Coming into the 8th week of flower, I've probably added nutrients for the last time. They'll be getting pH'ed water for the remainder as the PPM slowly decreases. Soon, I'll do a final res change and fill with water only.
I've pretty much left these ladies alone to do their thing. With spider mites in the other tent, the only time I've opened this tent all week was 10 minutes before lights out, to release some ladybugs. I've peeked in the front window to make sure everything looks OK but that's it. Yesterday it was time for an inspection. So I put on a 'clean suit' and, before messing with any other tents, opened the tent up and inspected everyone.
Forbidden Fruit (front-left) - What a beautiful plant. Her buds are crusted with trichomes, I can't wait to see how she squishes! Of all the plants in the tent she looks the furthest along at this point. I'm still hoping she fattens up some.
Banana Pudding (front-right) - She still isn't going to win any beauty contests. She has some of the longest petioles that I've seen.
When you peel back all of the fan leaves, though, she has massive buds. This lady is full of bud from top to bottom, and the buds are really wide and long. They look a bit leafy, though, almost like they are in reveg. I've started cleaning up some of her top fans, and I'll do more in the week to come.
Mango Mousse (back-left) - This lady never grew above the second net, except for a few buds. The buds she has are really pretty, though, and she has plenty of them. I think I'll still get a decent harvest from her.
Apple Betty (back-right) - "... too many dicks on the dance floor..." Yea, Betty is a mess. Just glancing I noticed both nanners and seeds showing on her sad little buds.
She seemed so healthy in veg, and then really never seemed to kick into flower. I had to pull her buds up to the second net, and her stems still seem weak. On better inspection, she is covered in nanners. I'm not sure what to do with her. She's not ready and I don't really want to harvest and waste what is there. On the other hand, do I really want to keep her in there with the others.
The first thing I checked was for light issues. I have a Govee in the tent, and you can tell from the temperature when the light is on. I checked, and all of the night cycles are uninterupted. I also checked the Wyze camera, going into replay to show a full night cycle. The tent is pitch black at night, with no visible light sources.
It looks like just AB has an issue right now. So, to pull or not to pull? I was looking forward to AB, but is it worth risking the rest of the grow? I'd love to hear your thoughts. For now, I'm just trying to keep the spider mites out of this tent.

I think I would still cut it down and get it out of the tent. Some have mentioned water killing pollen, so mist it down good, cut it down.
Unfortunately, I agreeIf you have found seed, then there's probably already seed on others.
Seems to be the consensus.I think I would still cut it down and get it out of the tent.
Good advice, thanks.Some have mentioned water killing pollen, so mist it down good, cut it down.
There's only only way to she's coming out of the RDWC, and that's in pieces.
Thanks DV8
I hate to say it, but I think your experience just nixed me running it. All the grows I've seen with AB were in soil and non scroged. Yours was the only one close to the way I would run it, so I guess another choice will have to be made for next season. I know your bummed, but like we've said before, we've still got enough bud for the year.
Just getting my first grows of the year in jars, puts me at ease, in that I've got my bud for the year and the 2nd grow just sweetens things up and gives me the variety that I'll be craving after a few months of smoking/vaping the same strains.
I hate to think your skipping it based on my grow. What if I just got a shit seed?It's sad.
Yea, I still have some bud from my first grow. The Vivosun Auto Oasis is keeping me plenty stocked and with great variety, a new smoke every 6 weeks! Hard to be too bummed over one plant.I know your bummed, but like we've said before, we've still got enough bud for the year.
I do, but I've heard that you really should heat-seal the bags if you plan on keeping the bud in there long term. I don't, and my year-old bud is still moist and full of smell/flavor. I love the Grove bags.I am trying the Grove bags for the first time now. Around half my harvest of Fuel D.OG and Acapulco Gold were put in them and the other half jarred. Do you keep them in the bags perpetually?
