@mstrpkl Thanks. aprox. 30 days into flower or so. Actually flipped the lights to 12/12 on the 6th of August.

Nice! I just flipped to 12/12 about 27 days ago. Your flowers look a little farther along than mine, makes sense. Have you ever looked into the aircube system?

@AZreefer I agree. Except it will be the 3rd net. Already have 2 good ones. I have a cheap throw away waiting to be installed next Monday morning. They're going to topple over with no help. Already leaning towards the center of the grow a little on a few of the colas. I'll probably remove the poles around the first trellis net and use it again up top. It has done all it needed to do on the first trellis net. I'll just leave the net in place until i chop.

Shit. I remember that now that you said it. Thats the pothead nature.

@mstrpkl I did watch some videos I think when I was doing my pre-purchase planning. I settled on the recirculating deep water culture system. I have been planning to get back into growing for a long time, just had to wait until I got closer to retiring. I'll check out your system and grow and follow along.

@AZreefer yep. bottom trellis isn't doing anything now, just sitting there.

Day #87 of grow. Day #47ish in flower. (flipped lights August 6th). Colas are getting fat and everything is super sticky. Jamaican Lion X Maui Wowie has weird structure of top of colas.

Your ph okay? The leaves color looks concerning a bit.

Those are good lookin buds! But damn thats a gnarly foxtail in those last pictures. Do you think maybe its getting too hot in there, or the light might be a little too strong/close?

@AZreefer
It is under control now. It has been dropping within a few days of water change, but I'm on top of it now..

@mstrpkl it's actually on every cola on that plant. I definitely had the light a little too hot for it. This one must be a little less tolerant than the others. I figure it'll still make smoke just those buds/colas go foxtail city. 1st grow since early 80s. I'm surprised I didn't kill em. .....yet..

@mstrpkl you got that right. Back then it had to all be outside, in the dirt, illegal, & rushed trying to stay outta jail & get something before the rippers got it..

Hoping the next grow goes smoother. Lots to be learned.

How many weeks you have left? @Mikedin has a light integral chart you should check out. Wait....I'll go get it...okay it wasn't where I thought but I found this...

Which is exactly what I was looking for. . So depending on where you are you might be able to reduce your light at this point in your grow. I didn't know about this in time to use it well enough my last run but I did reduce my light to 50% for my last week. Hope this helps.
