It is wall to wall in this grow tent.

This was a pinky toe bud when first tucked under the net. Look at her now.

And some of her sisters.

The stretch continues on the BM. Her nodes are compact though.

Cruising right along! Can you back build autos?

Why not, I say. Should you wish to back build, go for it. No reason an auto would act any different using this practice.
 
Late to the show and just subbed. You look like your doing a great job. :goodjob:

I'm just finishing off my first DWC grow. I'm growing a photo but planning on trying Autos next round. Mostly all has done well except I accidently pulled the power plug to my bubbler for a couple days until I noticed it and had a case of root rot. I was able to recover with the aid of Hydroguard - Good Stuff.

The only real pain I found was the job of changing out the reservoirs. I initially had the same hand pump you have but was ore work than I liked so went hunting for a solution. I found a really neat electric pump on Amazon - Mavel Star 12 volt Small Mini Submersible Water Pump. Works almost perfect except it isn't self priming so have to use a suction on it to get it flowing. It empties my 5 gallon bucket in about 1-2 minutes.

I'm getting close to chop time so used it today to begin my flush.
 
The res' are all but dialed in still. Each tonight showed a falling water level, a static ph and a small rise in ppm. The BM took twice the water of the NL, she is drinking a gallon every two days. Each res was topped off with water that lowered the ppm a bit. All in all these ladies are telling me they are happy campers. Thanks to all for looking in.

Welcome Troy. Never late to this party. Tis ever going.

My first dwc run was a bag seed photo. Took 105 days from germ to harvest. That grow is linked in my signature.

This is my second grow and as you can see they are both autos.

Pull up a chair and enjoy the ride. Thanks for following along.

Interesting. My Animal Cookies in DWC is at 118 days from planting today (the plant was clone) and only has about 1% or less amber. I think I had let them go too long in Veg as I didn't realize they stretch as much as they do in Flower. My Platinum started the same time is maturing at the same rate. Both rated at 9-10 weeks from flower.
 
All ladies in these photos are thriving well. The Northern Light has beautiful buds flowering all over. The Blue Mystic is growing more flowers every day. The stretch has to be almost complete. Enjoy.

Here are the gals tonight. The Blue Mystic is finally starting to finalize that stretch and grow some flower bunches. And the Northern Light buds are really starting to look nice.

Is Northern Light the one on the left? They both look great.. :goodjob:

How many days are they at currently?

The NL is on the right. The lady on the left is a Blue Mystic. The NL is several weeks ahead of the BM. All those pretty bud shots are off the NL. The BM buds are all the new growth pics with flowers. Clear as mud now I bet? Thanks Troy. Today marks day 66 since the seeds were put to germ.

Great grow ---I was thinking NL would have been taller. How far do you think you are from harvest? I was of the opinion that NL is pegged at 9-10 weeks?

The Northern Light will require harvest in stages. Looking close at the photos you can see what looks like a hole in the upper right hand quadrant. Down closer to the scrog netting are many short tops that are going all bud gangbusters. The very corner is the main cola. This is all the growth that would have been at top half of the plant. These buds are going to mature faster than those that are in the other three quadrants of the scrog net. So perhaps three weeks to harvest the first half of the Northern Light. That will put first picking at day 87 or so from germ. Then the Blue Mystic is acting more like a photo period plant than an auto. My prediction on her is harvest around the 105 day mark. This time frame matches my first grow exactly. That will be 15 weeks for the Blue Mystic and 12 1/2 weeks for the NL first parts. Understand the seed banks are going to offer the shortest time period for harvest to entice purchase. Not many grows have gone the advertised time to harvest. Most grow longer. These for sure will take longer. Parts of the NL may be ready sooner than my 3 week prediction but we shall see. Thanks for following along.
