Almost want to break out my skis looking at those flowers!

Very different than how you grow yours. Next one will be fewer buds and stems. Wanted to try this way this run.

I just spent a half hour, plucking and snipping off useless crap under 2 of my plants. Still have more to clean out. Whole branches 3 feet long but buried under the canopy. Sad but needed maintenance.

They are looking amazing mate! If mine are looking half as good I’ll be doing backflips!

It amazes me how you guys balance and tweak your nutrients at various stages of the grow!

It also scares me! The reason being, that I have been lucky enough that so far, my girls have only drunk water and sat in soil - nothing added anywhere! I know that can’t last forever. It is probably my biggest concern with the grow. The only thing I have had to overcome is light nute burn (my error) - so while I am really happy with the progress - I have no idea of what to expect if and when the soil is depleted - they have to get their goodness from somewhere.

I never expected that growing a plant could be so interesting!

I still haven’t got under mine for a clean out - stayed focused on the canopy. I will have to get under there soon though - I know that!

My soil carried them until flower. The soil is pretty rich and I was concerned with burning them too.

Good job bro…pistil action is the best indicator you have to determine bud size currently, internode spacing is near spot on…I see a lot of dense frost in your near future…:sunglasses::v:

Thanks. I wish the others stretched as much as the larger one to have more of the buds above the net. I have kept the canopy cleaned up and they get good light penetration.
This is one of the shorter ones. A lot going on below the net

You know how genetics go, no 2 are the same, for bottoms, those are cool…if you do samples…:sunglasses::v:

Bring you up to date 7/20 photos
A couple of overhead shots.
She is the tallest


Frosty #5

#5 is moving faster than the others

I thought I had better take a quick look at her trichomes

I can’t say I have seen this before. A lot of color / pigment of some sort

And a quick look at a sugar leaf cutting for comparison. Nothing going on yet.

Over all I think they are moving along nicely

Interesting color there?

I want some! Very nice!

Gonna be that sticky icky

Today was supposed to be a feed day but decided against it. The runoff reading from 7/16 watering were consistently lower than I wanted / expected. ph / ppm / EC
image
The previous feed reading’s ph were 6.5 - 6.7. I was particularly concerned with #5. She is maturing faster than the others and I assume she just isn’t requiring the same amount of nutrients as the others (Am I interpreting this correctly?).
Therefore decided to use distilled water today and get good runoff numbers
Here they are
image
You can see #5 ph was low at 6.2 and her ppm / EC were OR (over range) meaning 5000 / 5.0.
Yikes - it looks like a little / lot of build up to me. Gave her another gallon of 7.5 tap water. Got a good 32 oz of runoff. I like the last set of numbers much more.
I am not sure why #1’s ppm are so high.
Do you think I am on track for the home stretch. Day 49 on 12/12
