I noticed mine getting thirstier as well. I think flowering is the most fun, mostly the end is in sight.

Thank you.
I love me some pot porn. :blush:

Those buds look huge! Nice. Personally, I would take off the yellow leaves, they always bother me.

The yellow leaves bother me too, but on my autos Ive learned just to let the plant decide when she wants them gone. I give them a little tug, if they pull right off she was done with them. If they don’t, I leave them until they do.

First time trying autos outside, and they have proven to be a hands off cheap winter grow. I water/ feed on the weekends, and sometimes don’t even check on them till the following weekend.

Lol, I’ve also found the best thing i can do for my plants is ignore them. But i just can’t help myself when it comes to yellow leaves. :grin:

Now my Chocolope is another story. I pull and tug and tuck on her every night trying to fill that SCROG net.:wink:

Wow, nice nice @Rugar. I love to hear you talk about the autos with such positivity. Growing my first one right now, since it fit into my time schedule. Learning curve for me. But it doesn’t seem too fussy yet, as I’ve heard they can be. I like her so far.

I’ll plant photos a bit later for some long sunny summer grow.

Scrog looks great @Rugar89. Weird about your pumps but as long as they still look healthy that’s what counts, right?

2/21/18 (last night) Chocolope Feed Day

PH In 6.4 PH Out 6.5
PPM In 1080 PPM Out 1310

Added:
Medusas Magic 2 tsp
Gaia Mania 2tsp
Athenas Aminas 2 TBS (up from 4 tsp)
Demeters Destiny 1 tsp
Herculean Harvest 2 TBS
Zeus Juice 1 tsp
Aphrodites Extraction 1/2 tsp (up from 1/4 tsp)
Recharge 1/2 tsp
Per gallon of water
Bloom Khaos Sprayed @6.4 PH

Lights @ 19 1/2" from the net. @ 70.000 LUX

I havnt lowered the lights in 8 days because the growth in the center of the net has been lighter in color then the outside edges, which is a darker green and looking better in color. Ive thought the light was getting to strong now at @70,000 LUX @ the net, and over 75,000 at the taller tops. But last night she needed more water after 3 days again (the last three waterings have been @ 3 days instead of 4), So what I think is happening is she is just hungry and sucking up all she can because of the lights. Tonight the centers have a little more green to them. Going to leave the lights for now and she how she looks for a few days before trying to turn them up some more.

@Usmcjojo Was adding more Athenas Aminas, 2 TBS (up from 4 tsp) the right call? And upped the Aphrodites Extraction 1/2 tsp (up from 1/4 tsp).
Is this amount alright, and should I bump up anything else?

Tonight I had to do a quick set-up of the 3x3 tent, by robbing the clip-on fans from the 5x5 tent (wasn’t running them anyway), and the Exuast Fan/Filter and floor fan from the empty drying tent.

Outside temps have been in the mid to low 30s all week, and my wife said its been 31deg the last three mornings when she leaves for work @ 5:30 am. Well BBA #1 looks like she doesn’t have a problem with it, but BBA #2 has been droopy all week, but tonight when I got home ALL of her leaves are hanging straight down. Her color still looks great but she doesn’t look good at all.

So inside the 3x3 they both went, at least until the outside temps warm up some and get back to the 40s. Im really wanting to finish BBA#1 outside, because I think Im starting to see a little blueish color in her buds, and trying to get blue buds from her was the reason for the outside winter grow to begin with.

Photos tomorrow night.

They’ll definitely be hungry when you’re pushing the light levels. So your theory sounds about right. Looking forward to those pics and hope everything else is going well.

Last picture shows normal color on entire plant. Maybe its just the lights playing tricks on my eyes.
