We did it last week. The high was 58. In 2014, we lit a fire at least once every month. Some crazy stuff right there. Oh the Cape

12 days into 12/12. The mother plants these clones came from started showing flowers a bit earlier than these however they were kept in veg a good month longer than these clones were.

Thanks, Jerry. Iām doing things a little differently this time around. Not much but little tweaks here and there. Iām not panicking nor even worried about things such as dead leaves or a little yellow leaf at the bottom. I just add a touch more nitrogen and all is good.
Iāve vegged these two clones for quite a bit less time than I did the seedlings of my last grow. Also I did this last veg totally under CFLs instead of the LEDs. I canāt see any real difference other than these plants canopies are just a little bit less in size but not enough to think the yield will be lower. However these are stretching far more and faster than my last two from seed.
Iāve had absolutely no issues to speak of. I believe all my problems with the first grow were pH related. I have a good pH meter now and I calibrate it at every watering and test it against the drops.
Iām not liking the fabric pots only because I have to water every 2 to 3 days. When I had the 5-gallon plastic I didnāt have to water but once every 8 days or so. Maybe when all is said and done I will like these fabrics more. They are in 3 gallon whereas the plastic pots were five gallon. Iām interested to see what the difference in the end will be.
Thanks for your usual words of encouragement. They do mean a lot.

Then I am in flower once again! Itās a bit strange to harvest then the next day put two plants into the 12/12 schedule and in less than two weeks later flowers appear. Didnāt I just go through this??? Seems so much faster than the first time around.
If it doesnāt rain tomorrow Iām taking the motorcycle out for another country ride but stopping by the hydro store to pick up a couple more 3 gallon fabric pots to put the smaller clones into. They are in 2L plastic pots now and they dry out every two to three days so itās time for transplant. I need to buy more nutrients as well. I never imagined I would go through them as fast as I have.

I have found the LED will give harder nugs in the end. I do agree that you can do a good job with CFL. I just tend to go to LED due to the final finish on the colaās seems to be more impressive.
The confidence is a great thing once you get over the initial hurdles. Your grows DO get easier once you get over the fear of killing your plants with every move ! LOL
I like the fabric bags over pots due to the fact that I have nothing else to do most of the time and it keeps me busy. The roots in my last fabric pot were unbelievable, so tight and complete in the pot. Unbelievable how many roots she grew in the short grow.
Take care and keep the shiny side up ! .

The flower tent has two 450w LED units so thatās where Iām flowering these plants. I just did the veg under CFLs because the veg tent is a 2 x 2 x 4 foot tent whereas my flowering tent is 3 x 3 x 6 ft. If there is a discernible difference in the final yield I will probably get a 300 watt LED to put into the small tent.
I always keep the shiny side up. Funny thing is I never have come close to laying the bike down or dropping it but last Sunday when I got home I had to maneuver it between two parked cars up over a curb and into and through an area about 4 x 4 foot dirt square where thereās a tree growing. When I got it up there and tried to get the back wheel up on the curb I came so close to dumping it. I fell up against a van on my right and thatās the only reason it didnāt go down. Just when you drop your guard and think youāre safe because youāre homeā¦

This 2nd grow has been (so far) trouble free. Ph at every watering has been 5.8-6.0 and has kept these plants healthy and flourishing. Another difference Iāve done in this grow is I stopped measuring TDS coming out the bottom.
With the last grow the High EC draining out prevented me from feeding as much as I should have been which between that and the pH being off caused all kinds of deficiencies. I thought about this and with the first grow the soil was so hot I fed maybe twice throughout the whole veg cycle. Any one or two elements probably caused those high readings and thereās no way to know which one(s) was/were causing this. So by not feeding I was obviously denying the plants nutrients they needed but weāre not getting.
So this time around Iāve been watering one day and then feeding a couple days later and then watering again. I feed every other watering at 1/2 strength and they are doing great on that schedule. Itās 4:00 in the morning and I hope Iām making sense. Off to work I go. Lucky me!

Yeah. I learned that when I feel I should do one thing I do the absolute opposite and Iām good.
Thanks, MB. They are coming along quite nicely. And by the way, work sucks big time today. I donāt know why but today Boston is packed solid with tourists more so than usual. Help me mr. Wizard! I donāt want to be a worker no more!

You have to drive through that? Ouch! They are claiming it will take 3 to 4 weeks but I have to laugh at that estimate. Good luck.
