Hey homie! Haven’t seen you in quite awhile. They look vibrant and healthy. Badass plants!

Appreciate the kind words bro, unfortunately one Hermed on me, so got 1 plant to finish up before it's lil sisters mature (4 weeks behind)

The plant with LST is drinking much quicker than the topped plants and has a wider canopy so will be interested in yield comparison.
Here's one that got dry overnight and needed extra water whilst the others still looked ok. All plants got high N feed for first 2 weeks of flowering before switching to bloom.

Also I discovered the one flower plant I was admiring the most for looking so good turned out to herm. Not sure why, the 2 times there were power cuts I was in there with flashlights straight away so not too sure it was that but if anyone can confirm that would be appreciated. The other flower is fine only one Hermed out the 2

Flashlights really don’t hold up too well in that regard, I have a lithium ion power station that I use for when the power cuts wacky, they are a little pricey, but they pay for themselves pretty quickly. If you turn you lights setting all the way down you can get a lot of time out of one,I use iriver boxes.

Thanks man that's something for me to look into as I get the occasional power cut with the monsoon style rains. So far only a couple mins at a time but gotta plan for the worst

It really is worth it homie.

Old girl finally fattening up since blasting with potassium humate and the youngens stretched a lot more since I gave it 2 weeks grow not bloom for transition (old gal went straight onto bloom). Took a moment to figure out the watering amount in the 3gals but got there in the end.

Also started a round of pineapple kush, let's push that even further and cut out the mistakes

Well well, what you are managing to squeeze out of that light Is damned impressive homie. I love that kind of stuff. More with less.

Stacking away nicely since last week, drinking every 2 days now, so I usually water, feed, water and the plants don't mind at all. This is the 1st time I've bottom watered and I rarely drain now that I know how much they drink . Just gotta get more used to these LEDs as they can be sensitive, had some light Cal mag issues the moment I bumped them past 80% but I got them @ 10" from canopy and 90%now and praying well.
I'm constantly battling myself to turn the lights down when the tops show heat/light stress but I feel pushing the tops helps the bottoms get vital ppfd, who knows
Got some seeds from a local supplier here in Mexico and he gave me an extra pack of these mare Verde seeds which are supposed to be better than the last pack I brought which didn't germ, so respect to Azteca seeds for good service.

Quality customer service is definitely important these days……

Did some very light defoliation, I should probably do more to be safe with mould but I always hate stripping the plant bare so I just removed the leafs that were blocking bud sites and tucked a few fan leaves. Need to get my scrog installed asap just been so busy last week tryna do a hundred things.

Finally got that great white on the scene so I can easily mix with water, no more top dressing got some bottle tops as cheap ass risers to help avoid wet bottoms

Near Mid flower so Winding down on the bloom and pumping up the potassium humate keeping the calmg high a lil longer and cutting down on kelp and humic hopefully that should be enough to see it stack

I’m stealing that bottle cap idea. I like that. good thinking homie!

Had a black out after a tree fell on the line, so was in there asap with 2 torches and 2 candles, and door open, got power back up after an hour, I just hope it didn't stress my girls too much but gotta get me some bigger torches asap then look to invest into a battery pack down the line

Got some pineapple kush in the back which started LST so won't be topping next round as I'm preferring LST plants over topped these days.

And just had my scrog net arrive finally after a month so will install this week and show how to do it like a cheap ass

@Captspaulding hey brother I've been looking at portable power stations today on Amazon and found these on offer today for Prime day in Mexico.
Do you think either of these could cut it. Tia

Colas slowly fattening up, impressed with the cheap $150 Chinese lights so far. Also found my loup so mandatory trich shot the pics are from the old girl that's nearly finished not the 5 in the other photos
Getting a bit of fade at the bottom, looks like potassium but I'm guessing it's normal half way through flowering? Maybe I need to pump up the K a lil

Got scrog net installed, its cheaper to buy cement in Mexico than pvc piping so I found some old 4 inch pipe laying around, chopped it in 4 stuck some old planks in with rocks and poured in the cement mix. Stuck it in the 4 corners of this plastic pallet the grocer gave me, brought the net online for like $3 + $2 cement= $5 DIY scrog frame. Time for some beer and a doobie

I like it, some movable footers! That’s cool bud. When people ask you how large your trellis is you can say infinity hahahaha

Caught that damn Dengue fever but I finally got over it after 2 weeks of wheezing like a dog toy
Time for the updates - plants getting thick, getting mature, but gone past the listed 8wk flower period, started to senescence so let's see how much longer it will take.
Also wine fridge is set up to cure, just gotta find a way to drain the water as it tends to just sit in the back of the fridge chopped the old girl as she got real golden whilst I was sick, so got it in the fridge and playing around with the settings.

 

[simonkay]

Half the plants getting frosty other half still getting thick but it's stretching out my weak ass scrog net so will have to adjust that on the next run when I have time to pour more cement in the holes.
The small freak plant looks delicious with this blue tint in the nugs
