I’ve been having a little trouble out of my knee, seems like the pain gets worse and worse. I guess I’m getting old lol. Environmental is key, i try to keep mine dialed in and plants reward me for sure. My journal is in my sig and everyone is welcome. Once I get this sponsored grow over with for dr. Seeds I’m gonna start a ongoing perpetual journal and keep it running for all my grows.

Hey Derbs! I am doing just ok. Was in the hospital for a few days two weeks ago, and it seems they haven't solved the problem yet. At least I am home with Mrs. Bard. Just tucked my three photo gals in for the night. Very comforting watching their leaves blow in the fan breeze and smell their good aromas. Have a great night.

Thanks. Appendix. In some cases they treat it with antibiotics now instead of surgery - IV while I was in the hospital for 4 nights, and pills since then. While lower risk, it doesn't always work, and takes longer. And... it hurts! Just whining. Glad I didn't have to have surgery (yet) but if this round of pills doesn't knock it out, I will have to get cut. I'm a big baby about all things medical.
On the other hand, I am just about to place a seed order, so I can't die in the near future.
Good luck Bard. Let's hope the pills work to keep you out of the hospital.

Yes please! Thanks Sauga.
Hey everyone!
Sorry I disappeared for the weekend, I had to do back to back open to close shifts at the restaurant.
I hope the pills work out for you @The Bard so that you don’t have to go under the knife. Surgery is scary no matter how simple and routine it might be.
Also I’m back here with another update. I think Monday night updates will probably be my thing around here. As you all saw everyone got put into 1 gallon fabrics and fed their first dose of nutrients. They’ve since gone through another dry cycle and have all been watered with normal water either yesterday or the day before.
Here’s a family photo of just the CnC (I’m sure some of you remember that I have 3 LA Cheese going also).
Day 23
I’m sure you’ll notice in the picture that a lot of them are topped/fimmed. I want to start the branching as early as possible so that the tops that I take through harvest are very sturdy and thick. My suspicions of gender are as follows: I think the two on the left and the one in the center with all the tops are females and the other five are males.
I say this because the plant with all the tops is the most vigorous in the tent. For me that has been a hallmark of female for this strain. The other two have lower branches that are really growing large and getting decent girth; something I have never seen on a cookies n chem male.
The males’ side branches are naturally very small and spindly. The males just look leggy in general.
Like this plant here. I’ve seriously manipulated the shape by topping and removing lower growths, making the side branches more robust but the internodal spacing is very large. That makes me think it’s a male
This is the leader in vigor; the structure has also been pretty manipulated, but look at how she puts out thick, tightly stacked branches. I only removed the first node of growth because the second node looked quite good.
Here’s her top, or her six tops actually. I’m gonna pull them all flat.
One more quick thing. About 4 days ago I decided to give the Gas Lantern Routine (12 on/5.5 off/1 on/5.5 off) a try. We’re in full summer around here so I’m doing it for the power bill and the heat, but I’ve also noticed a huge huge grow rate increase. I’ve read that direct sun light for 18+ hours is non-existent anywhere really, especially day after day for weeks. It’s clear from how much they’ve taken off that giving them more time to rest is beneficial.
That’s pretty much it for me everybody. I hope you all enjoyed the pics, if there’s something I’m not showing or something you guys wanna know, just ask!

I'm glad I could help.
Epic purchase there zero, that’ll be fun to see a chemdog auto variety.The order has been placed! Of course, I went there for what I needed and walked away with something I probably didn't, as is always the case! Nice opp to test a new seed bank. Thanks for the recommendations @Mj76
Hope everyone is having a groovy evening!
Speaking of buying stuff you don’t need, I just picked up MMS star pupil fem and docs dank seeds gods gift bx1 regular...one of the freebies is triple purple rhino x bear creek kush. looks like I’m gonna do a purple run next cycle..

@bobrown14 . For my latest batch I went with half dolomite half high Ca lime. 93%. It's the right thing to do. Along with the Dawgs will be 9 Sherlocks Gift grown organically for medicine. I need to pheno hunt a a nice girl with appropriate cannabinoid levels for my crazy head.

On the 12/1 cycle: it a trip. It's like they really want to flower but can't. Actually a Green Crack did start flowering and had to be moved. When you do decide to flip, flowering begins within a few days. It's pretty cool.Hey everyone!

On veg cycle: this last round I put them on 16/8 for a couple weeks before flip. Very cool. Vigorous growth and a more natural stretch/flower. I dig it.

Cool! I am hunting and gathering seeds for a purple/fruity run as well. Particularly excited about the Star Pupil that I have on the way. Where did you get your seeds, if you don't mind my asking?
