Her last veg photo. Time for that flower time!

Is there a video or tutorial on how you did that I need to learn me some of that so cool how you made her flat and wide

 

[Newty]

Looks like everyone bailed on submission day so they could veg longer

Appreciate that!

Ummm, I'm not sure about a tutorial or video. But, my pictures that I've posted here or on IG have the big steps from where I initially started spreading her out. (top down views and stuff)

There's also some timing to try to plan out the topping based on the growth rate of the plant so that the lower branches reach the top of the canopy at the same time that the outer, topped, branches have split and start pushing their branches. If that doesn't happen, then you can just manipulate as necessary to even things out.

Thank you kind sir! It's a great way to keep my mind occupied. The plants wow me every day too.

@Herbies_Seeds ......question for you.....

Which light am I placing the Girl Scout Cookies under? LED or HPS? I'll let you decide......or I could place it 50/50, but then it wouldn't have the height.......

It's almost always best to go with LED lights. They provide flexibility throughout all growth stages without any hassle

Random question from a bum who couldn’t cut the mustard, what’s everyone’s length on their wet dry cycle?

 

[Graham.Bagg]

Currently averaging between 2-3 days (every 36-40 hours), using just under a quart per.

Idk if this question was directed at someone individually or everyone in the contest but my plant in a 1 gallon Air Pot and Pro-Mix HP-M is taking 1.5 quarts every other day, been like that since the second week after transplant.

Hey bad ass! Thanks for the reply’s folks, I knew my mind was gonna be a bit blown. Man I’m just under quart every other day, with some spot checking in between, there’s always a few thirstier than the rest.


Main reason I love 1g, you actually end up feeding these babies more over time than larger pots, bc the feeds are more frequent. And needed more, way less heavy handed bc the medium is waaaay drier too, so the application is taken up with a bit more vigor in my experience.

It is killing me a bit being on the sideline, hey, I’ll toss a loser post in the pile!
Yep! I’m a loser baby.
So why dontcha kill me…..


It’s killing me i had to drop out, my damned dog is a menace for playing Godzilla.
I have 70 1/2g and 1g mixed going and some of these things are pretty radical.

You folks are definitely making this contest interesting. hey, in case y’all didn’t know, I did send Mike some Maui mix packs from the most recent crosses that I did with the Maui Maui from 1986. Whoever wins is going to get some of those things and I think I discussed it with that there would be like a runner up there gets one too. There’s a lot of bad ass possibilities in those mixed packs man.
Thanks for the updates homie!

I'm still determined to try and use this micronized fish bone meal for a fast acting phosphorus.

This patent states that by coating fish bone meal with humic acid positive results are seen within two weeks time.

The present invention relates to a fertilizer composition comprising a humic acid-coated bone meal as an active ingredient and a use thereof, and the humic acid-coated bone meal according to the present invention is excellent in promoting plant growth or promoting biomass, so a fertilizer...

I might just spray the fish bone meal with humic acid, let it sit over night and see what happens?
