Got an update pic from the daughter. Such a shame to being going home in 2 days to cut most of this growth down. Wish I had 10ft ceilings.

Still no definitive news on the father in-law and nobody was allowed to see him tonight. I am not allowed to see him period since I have contracted strep. Been a rough week.

Damn bro those plants are doing wonderful..Looks like your daughter might have a greenthumb after all.. I just put mine in the veg tent 2 days ago sooo ready for the rdwc growth and the ladies are happy they have room to spread out and stretch their leaves lol and I got 3 nice studs I put into flower too one of them is soooo stanky I can't wait to mate it with something else and the other 2 have great growth patterns so def a keeper if needed also smells quite nice too ....
Hope all is well w the family that's too bad that your sick and you can't see them while your there but you did try and they know it so not your fault you got sick just unfortunate thats for sure so hope you and your family has a happy new years with some great news

Make sure you use hydrogauard or some sort of beneficial bacteria or fungi.

experience, or a book and which, if u read it somewhere? don't spend significant time on this... i wouldn't change my guard habits, until roots become a problem- for ME, but if u read this somewhere... show? and i don't think u mean, cleaning the gear. aqua knows THINGS, far as h2o2 vs expensive guard/s... and one, or the other. if u do use any product, as defining STERILE... what is it, or spill ur secrets... por favor. ?

I see so many people talking about hydroguard and just wanted to suggest trying great white. Im not going to say it performs way better but after switching from hydroguard about 8 years ago I have not had any root issues, which I couldn't always say before. The best part is it comes in powdered form (aqua, I know you already love powdered nutes, I'll be giving them a shot soon) which is not as susceptible extreme temps, damage, or contamination during shipping and is far less expensive to use. I also feel like it offers a more complete microbial enviroment:

I have also heard good things about great white. Just not had experience with it yet.

I find a live system to produce a much more resistant plant. Sterile is cheaper and easier to do but once root rot hits hydrogaurd is far more successful and have yet to see people use properly and get root rot. Trying to kill pythium in infected roots with bleach h2o2 or other is much less successful. h2o2 only stay about 24 hrs in the system leaving a window for infection and bacteria form a symbiotic relationship boosting a plants immune system. Bit the most important part of prevention is a healthy plant, so far this grow I have used one dose of hydrogaurd and enzymes and have kept the plants mostly healthy other than a slight humidity issue for a couple days and a cal mag deficiency I cought very early. They have grown fairly well.

Happy New year's brothers and to everyone on the farm.

Got home at 1am this morning. Was a rough visit ended up with strep throat and not much for answers. His last dose of chemo was yesterday so now it's just a waiting game.

This is what the plants look like this morning and I will be doing some severe trimming once I can peel my eye open. I will post the aftermath once I finish which may not be until tonight.

Have to say I'm impressed with my daughter's ability to follow directions. No chance these plants would still be here. They are drinking over 6 gallons a day now

Attached the wrong picture So i just fixed that

Now you know you have backup the next time you need to step away. Happy New Year!

u may need too add a 2nd net for this grow since they are still in veg..Could just float the scrog w some ratchet straps and flip the 3 way elbows around add up rights and ur other net and call it a day. But ik u said u wanted to try no scrog next round so not sure if u would want to do that or put some screws in the corners and get a premade net and do it that way.....
