Lovely looking tent there Josh!

I'm hoping my next door neighbour's borders look like that come spring, what with the stray beans I find in random buds and me chucking them over into her garden!

Something tells me you don't get along with your neighbors thanks for stopping in, always a good laugh

Oh I try to Josh, I do try.

The wife reckons the neighbours all love me, but somehow I just can help but want to kill them all! (psychosis... I blame the Northern Lights when I was a kid!)... EDIT - you know what, i still find that dope real twitchy. Heavy but a bit twitchy... If that makes sense?

Anyway, seeing that lovely clover and stuff has given me an idea for my garden borders, so I've ordered a kilo of mixed clover, mustard, italian ryegrass and some other weeds! Thanks for that dude!

(might stop next door's cat crapping all in there too!)

I'm lucky bro, neighbors all keep to themselves
Just have to keep my girlfriend's mom from visiting us again and I'll be set

Not sure about how true it is but I guess clover is a "nitrogen fixing" plant. I use white clover myself
Gonna aee if it helps eliminate the need for topdress during the grow I might still throw on some gypsum and kelp during flower though

Watsup everyone had a few spare minutes so I figured I'd stop being lazy and get an update in

Everything was flipped I think 5 or 6 days ago and the stretch is in full swing. I'll start counting days when pom poms show up

The francos in coco are being tied down and supercropped the best I can, not too worried about them being perfect as this was kind of a test run for me. I love coco though it really doesn't get any easier and the growth rate is phenomenal

Light above these is a 600 watt hortilux hps, dimmed to 300

Current line up at res change is silicate, cal-mag, GH micro, GH grow, GH bloom, humic acid, root stim for the last time and uc roots to keep the res sterile. All in that order
Starting with RO water and just changed my filters, so perfectly clean at 0 ppm from the tap

Ph starts at 6.2 and ends up at around 5.8 after 5 days. I'm gonna give a wild guess and say that it's dropping because I'm adding a good amount of co2 to the groom oh well, as long as it's in range I could care less tbh
EC at 1.1

The big girl in soil looks great, drinking about 2 gallons every other day. Went ahead and cranked the invisi sun boards up to 350 watts
Grabbing a splitter tomorrow after work so I can turn on my 2700k ebay boards, prbly only run those at 100-150 max. Without cooling they heat up too much for my liking when pushed all the way

Room temps 83-85 F lights on, humidity 60-65%.
Lights off 73 F

Almost forgot, here's the other plants. Lol

The 2 franco clones in the back looking nice and healthy, not even close to the growth of the coco ones though

Barney's triple cheese in the middle really going for it, I've been super cropping like mad keeping her in check though don't mind the fact that every branch has scotch tape on it, I went a bit crazy and pinched too much they'll bounce back though

Accidentally breaking branches is one way to stop the stretch I guess

My little gelato in the front looks great, took a clone because it looks like a perfect SOG strain. That'll be happening soon I think

And last and certainly least is eleven roses not her fault though, it was added way after the other plants and only a week of growth before 12/12. Should be able to get an idea of what she can produce though

Dominator 2xxl has been cranked to 600 watts

Day 17 since showing a good amount of pistils, so roughly day 25 of 12/12

First video is the big franco, now under roughly 400+/- watts
The amended soil is doing its job and doing it well, no defficiencies whatsoever. Mainly water only but I've been adding ground up malted barley powder every 2 weeks or so, watering in with powdered silica and humic acid

The second video is the coco francos (insane growth on these) EC .9 and ph drifts from 6.2-5.7
Currently under 450 watts hps

The growth rate is so fast I'll be ditching the big soil beds and going with 2 flood and drain tables next grow, which I've already made. The soil will be continued to be used for veggies and fruit though, I worked way too hard to build that ecosystem up

In the scond bed there are 2 francos in the back (can barely see them) triple cheese middle, gelato front left and eleven roses front right

An even canopy would have been nice but my main concern was searching for something with minimal stretch and a quick finisher. Time will tell but the triple cheese looks to be way further ahead, very lanky though unfortunately

These are under the dominator 2xxl turned to 600 watts, 24 inches above the highest buds

Co2 in tent is set at 1500 ppms and will be getting slowly reduced in the upcoming weeks along with temps and humidity

Last night I added a top dress of kelp, fish bone meal, neem cake (for gnat control) gypsum and a nice fresh layer of worm castings
Shouldn't really need it but I was bored

Video update in a couple days, flower is in full swing now

Looking spot on there Josh.

Dunno if it's a site issue, but I'm just seeing huge crops of your pictures, like some kinda online jigsaw puzzle!

(videos work good though!)

Cheers Marcus

Prbly just the usual tapatalk bullshit
I'll upload pics through the site from now on

Also, just a heads up to anyone running invisible sun boards. Do NOT have them closer than 18-20 inches!

Was lazy after the stretch and woke up the other morning to some crispy leaves on my coco plants. I know it's light burn because the tops under the hps (same height) look perfect

Barney's farm triple cheese looking amazing I've never had pink pistils before

[Josh]

last week, triple cheese
