A little update on the grow. It's been 36 days into bloom. I feel like I'm a week behind where they should be. I lightly thinned the canopy by pruning some borderline size bud sites. These sites had large enough sets of leaves to clog up some air flow and light penetration. Also noticing...

There are so many bud sites being overshadowed by bunches of fan leaves I wouldn't even know where to begin thinning it out. 28 days into flower today. I'm sure this isn't as big of an issue when not monster cropping. I think I'm just going to tuck them away the best I can and get another...

All those big ass fan leaves, reaching for the sky. Worrying me that they are blocking out bud sites. Looking lush though, if not to my detriment. Did what I thought was a fair amount of trimming below the scrog. I am sure that some strategic pruning topside would also be beneficial but I'm...

You are saying you use 100x as much bleach as OP? I'm interested to see what happens after a few more days of this treatment.

The GSC's, end of week 3.

Everything including fan leaves? Or just the new growth that won't make it to the canopy? I have huge fan leaves that are borderline, maybe 2-3 inches below the screen. Thought maybe those are beneficial. But, heard, I'm gonna whack everything below including some of the actual...

Stretching for sure now. Scrog is crowning like a baby mama. Running out of room like a BBC in BVD's.

Did a little trimming below but I feel like I need to do a lot more near the canopy. There are so many new little bud sites that are clearing the net but there isn't enough room for them. Fan leaves are growing huge and blocking a lot of bud sites. The main branches are possibly being...

I attached my daily "before tuck" and "after tuck" shots from today. Flipped these to flower few days ago, they are very very bushy with growth everywhere below. Growth similar to the bush of a late 70's pornographic actress. And I find myself doing an up-tuck every day because these babies...

I'm far from an expert, but I had slow growth, but for the opposite reason, but maybe it ended up being beneficial. I have a 1744gph air pump blowing what I had calculated to well over 1.25+ lpm/gal in my 5 site 40gal capacity system with about 25-28 actual gallons of solution running...

Now here is a retrospective of the girls from when they were introduced to my diy UC at the beginning of September, yes, 8 weeks ago. I recently grew a pair of balls and took the training wheels of and fed them a dose in beteeen cch2o's recommendations for highly vs regularly aerated systems...

I'll just getting this thread started because I'm so happy to have found this cch20 alliance thread. I've been putting so much damn work into this grow and am just thrilled to see a focused community board on this subject. I just signed up on the site, so I'll keep it short for now and...
