Back from the brink of the dead

Oh it's a challenge but worth it. 3.5 months, is that an Auto? Did you do the 12/12? I heard doing 12/12 makes an auto fatten it's flowers just like a photo? That's a big harvest for a grow. I know there's not much room for mistakes getting a pound.

It was a photo, vegged 1.5 month then under 12/12 for about 2 months.

Yea it was wild.. Right next to it in the same system a plant only got me 3 oz lol.. So there's that too.. It did overshadow it a bit..

I’m a boondocker too cept I have 2 houses

That is nice. I feel bad for those having to hide it from their neighbors.

I don't have to hide it, I'm legal, but it's still wise to hide it. No one on my block has any idea and imma keep it that way. Last thing I need is a reason to shoot someone.

That's the good thing where I'm at, no neighbors and no visitors. I don't hang out with people around here but I know them. I stay private, although it's the country people still talk. I don't want them knowing anything about my personal life.

Legal here too but silence is still golden

@Clyde4210 i thought it be good to share a link with you so you can read through a process with auto flower. Obviously, you don't have to implement this to your grow but reading about it gives you a good understanding. This one is a active grow more or less at your stage. https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/“grow-with-me-mr-g”-se3000-added-to-the-mix.133909/post-2728194

Is this a hermie? It also has a growth out the side of stem. You probably can see it on the one pic.

Kinda hard to tell but from the location I’m gonna tentatively say no, might have to wait for pistils to emerge, 2 hairs female 1 male

I think it's a bit early I can't really see anything either. Thanks for the help it's growing. I'm getting some good weather for another week so it should get some growth.

I actually lowered it today because it was growing an inch a day. I'm getting up there in watts. I'm at 80% at 20". Anything higher and it starts light burning. The veg growth up top is slow but roots are amassing and node growth.

 

[Clyde4210]

It was lights out so I couldn't get pics last night.

I am most likely going to build a box. Because I have grown in the tub/shower and have use of the shower curtain rods I could hang a light weight box around the plant. Make a frame and use the blackout blinds I used to make the shower curtain. Heck if I wanted too do it today I could use cardboard. Do not wrap it around bucket just the plant and leave a gap below the bottom leaves of plant for air circulation.

This is for those like me, new. I kept thinking about kite and Chinese Lantern frames. And there's the box idea.

Less is more, and as general rule NOTHING happens above the plant no fiddlin with gear or lights unless the life of the plant depends on it. Would rather not have to teach you how to fix a broken plant I have dropped stuff on beautifull plants and not much sucks worse than that

why do you need to build a box around the plant? if anything, i would top it or LST it so that the lower branches get more light. Everything on top is blocking the light to the lower sections.

This is just mind blowing. why wouldn't you teach someone how to fix a broken plant if you've already gone through the heart break of dropping stuff on your beautiful plants and losing them?
It's his 1st grow and he can make mistakes. some will cost him and it will be a expensive lessons or time consuming but he will gain the experience and not make those mistakes.
above all that, this site is built around helping each other and creating a community. aren't you here for that?

I would definitely help patch up a plant havin done it several times, I would rather not have to but most definitely would help

The box wouldn't weigh anything but I had to drop the plant down, I ran out of room. I moved it into the corner so now it's almost boxed in. You can't get to close to the plant with these blinds, causes light burn. It had a shower curtain dropped on it about week 3. There isn't anything this plant hasn't seen.

I do have a question I have to redo the water soon. Should I use the flora trio, just micro & bloom or grow and bloom? Right now it's micro and bloom.

Thanks.

 

[Clyde4210]

Here's what I ended up doing because I couldn't go any higher with light and top was getting a little too much light. I'll run a dowel rod behind the shower curtain too keep it flat.

I only used blackout blinds because I pulled it off the 2 windows I do every summer and remove for winter.

I appreciate the help everyone.

I have the flora trio any ideas? Micro & Bloom, Grow & Bloom or all 3? Right now it's (3 gallons of water) 5ml Micro and 12ml Bloom, that's 200ppm then add on 100ppm of Calmag for 300 ppm.
