Here’s the update… some learning curve with the new setup… lights were too close at first… looking good now…as usual I’ve run out of room… can’t wait to get them outside
Hey there, sounds like you’ve got a solid plan in place! I know what you mean about getting tired of bending over, it can be tough on the back. I’m sure your plants will love the extra space and ventilation in the tent. And germinating on St. Patrick’s Day seems like a lucky start for your growing season! Best of luck and happy growing!

Plants are doing very good.
Battling pincher bugs, spiders and keeping up my thoughts on daily IPM and I’m uaing Jacks Dead Bug once a week in vegitative stages…dont like spraying once flowers start.
LST for best immediate results, using flexible rubber tubing to tie branches outward using the rings on the fabric pots …this is my most time consuming task…making bonsai bushes or of these girls…
Few days after LST, Trying a bend and twist method on the branches…bend down end and slight twist of the wrist…points the branches further out…cant do on mature stiff branches.
Was going to top again but seeing pre flowers on some of then, and now just going to let them do their thing, maybe, lol.
Veggie Garden was planted last week, tomatoes, beans, peppers, radish, carrots.
This thead has turned into my grow journal this year.
@VirginiaGrowBoy in case your interested in following. Have a great season.
Today was a feed day, rained and then dried out.
Decided to top several plants today. Had real good success with this method in the past. After watching the “Mendo dope bous” on you tube, im convinced this method is the only way to get the most out of the plants.
Topped all branches on the Blueberry Muffin in the garden, and grape diamonds.
Also topped 4 plants on the porch and all nodes on these plants were pinched.
My neighbor Beth told me this was the way by pinching all the nodes on all the branches…but I though she was nuts. It works on photos real nice.
Garden is getting serious tall. Plants are looking healthy except for one that has spots that resemble a magnesium or potassium deficit. Told the wife she could make the sick plant her project. Shes excited lol.
Fox farm nutes 2x per week.
Compost tea 2x per week
Water as needed, but in the heat wave 90+ for 4 days, I’m watering every day.
Looking real good, a couple look a little on the yellow side. However one of the yellows is called “lemon tree” so possibly a normal look, first try with a free seed.
A couple are on the busshy side could be a humidity issue, keeping an eye on them all lol.
