Mikedin’s garden center, Let’s grow!

[Captspaulding]

Thanks fam there doing awesome can’t wait to get them about 2’ tall so I can really work on em, figuring I’ll take a clone off each plant before I move them to the flower the cement shoes is a 3rd generation clone I haven’t had time or space to flower out any of them so she’s still a surprise, 7-8 pages back I had a mother tree that was 4’ tall but I cloned and culled, the Frostette I’m holding onto for a bit until I decide fully if I’m gunna try a new pheno, so hard to let that one go. The GP x Okie and Okie x Cman I’ll grab a clone of each before moving to the flower tent as well

I’ll get some pics of the flowering Frostette clones in a bit I moved the light up a bit 2 days ago but she kept stretching, seeing a lot more preflowers forming so hopefully stretch is done a few tops are within 6-7” of the light lol, we’ll see how they do since I don’t increase power much more than it is now through flower but those tops are probably pushing 900+ PPfD but no drop back they look like there loving it

Crank it to 11 brother, if they want it, give it to em! I’ve had them that close plenty of times. Some take it really well. I’m getting geared to do the same as you, I’m mothering and vegging okie x cman and pbb x cman, 2 a piece. I’m gonna keep them around for a hot minute, may run a stress tent. Im excited to see what you have in store for those ladies.

So hard to decide haha I think the cement shoes is structured beautifully to be a nice bush she she’ll get a 5 gallon shortly and I’ll only hope I can get her to look like @GNick55 vanilla frosting and imperium x’s she’s a clone but was similarly only topped once early after rooting

Been wanting to do a 4 plant scrog so possibly dual clones off the trust genetics another option is a bubble bucket I’ve been wanting to try

Haven’t ran without a net in awhile but with the big flower tent now I can let a few spread out

Evening all

Frostettes day 14 of flower

 

[Mikedin]

Veg tent needed a swap up, realized the cement shoes had been in the 1 gal for a month and already, I was thinking 2 weeks so up pot to her 5 gal, 50/50 veg/flower amendment up pot, now she gets a few weeks then over to the flower tent she goes,

Pulled down a few side branches but besides that she was topped once early, that’s all she’ll get gunna let her roll from here on out besides bending down some branches here and there and some defols if needed

Once I popped her out of the 1 gallon her root ball confirmed that she was ready

Sturdy little root ball ya got there. It was definitely time to open that up a bit and get it in some fresh. It’s looking really nice. I’ve only had cement shoes one other time. Killer shit.

Worked on her this morning since I couldn’t sleep anyways so why not smoke and train!

Gunna get tight quick in that flower tent! She’s gunna be a monster if the mother was any indication the frostettes are throwing out preflowers like crazy now, can’t wait to see how she stacks with the extra stretch grabbed a quick pick right as the lights shut off

 

[Mikedin]

Day 17 starting for the girls, looks like stretch has stopped, had to pull them forward away from the wall, there using about 75% of the light , diddnt expect them to fill out that nicely, gunna be fun! bud sites forming nicely, can’t wait to see how they stack! Approx 3.5 -4” between nodes

Couple tops 2-3” from the light but there still not shying away!

 

[Mikedin]

Garden is producing well. Had veggies at the road, sold 4/9 bags, not bad for the first week, brought in the extras, making a huge pot of hot salsa to can up just reducing down now, and then brought up a new load to wash / bag/ bring to the street

 

[Mikedin]

Got salsa jarred up, Found a wine cooler that should work well for a microgreen fridge. The GP x Okie and Cman x Okie topping went well, new tops coming out. cement shoes getting ready for the flower tent in another week or so. Flower tent coming along well, will grab some pics in awhile

Frostette clone is filing out in that 2 cup size pot, not bad for a little clone test. A few people interested in the pheno, might take a few more cutting to hand out from her before trying another pheno on the hunt for a heavy purple like @SchwiftyGrower got

The frostettes are in day 22 of flower, did a quick bottom defol between the nets will do a bit more tomorrow etc. some of th tops are within an inch of the light, one is passing between the bars almost , I only have the @PhlizonGrowLight FD6500 at 350w and no brunt tips so far. Plan is to stay at the same power level though the run as I did last run. Could go up to 650w but no need getting between 750-800 average PPFD over the canopy, as it’s only about 8-10” above most of it, much more intensity on those tops but there handling it just fine seeing no damage as of yet plants are about 4.5’ tall from the soil line

Veg tent is looking nice! GP x Okie topping taking off as is the Cman x Okie topping. Massive side branching coming up gunna be some beauties!

Cement shoes is about a week into the 5 ga bucket with 50/50 Gaia mix of 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 about a week and she’ll move into the flower tent as well

Thanks fam, there really starting to stack now, we’ll see if I lose any tops to light stress but gotta just ride it out now and enjoy the show

There’s always the judo chop (cropping) if it gets too Wiley on ya! I hear ya though, the fact they look so happy, if it ain’t broke right?

Damn right let ‘em roll! At worst I lose a top or 2x gets bad I’ll hack em. But with the power in running it may not be an issue, I don’t try to smoke em with heat, just a nice even 750-800ppfd and I had rock hard buds last run we’ll see if it hold up this run!

You got that

Here’s the mother at 28 days of flower last run, much shorter, but I flipped right when I tucked them under the first net last time, this time I let them hit the 2nd net before flipping the lights, hell of a difference it makes lol

It was intentional to see if I can stretch the buds since they stacked so nice last run

Figured stretch and fill, especially since this is 2 plants this time in the same size net so they have a lot more resources to pull from to stack this time, double the growing medium

Hell yeah, that is a proper plan good sir, it seems your theory is dead on. That stretch went bonkers bud! If you last grow was an indication, your def gonna have larger colas this time for sure.

That’s the hopes! Only time will tell but the distance between bud sites on these stalls are looking like they should combine well hopefully to make some nice colas, im not one to like huge colas but more constant than anything which is why I love the scrog nets. When all is said and done I wanna have a consistent as possible size of buds for a more even dry is the main goal

Bud sites are sitting 2.5-3” apart so they should blend nicely but we’ll see!

I’m also letting them bud all the way down to the top net, I’ll thin the colas a bit, anything too short and lankey will be removed over the next few days to open up the canopy, definitely no shortage of tops

Your internodal spacing is on point. If they are done reaching. From the looks of it, oh they will stack up nice.

How much space in between light and top net?
