bumpie bump! DepoView attachment 4623127 day 46 honey trail.
Very nice! Not familiar with the term “depo” but I’m guessing it means a plant that’s been triggered early through light deprivation? Interesting technique and very pretty buds. Seems like deprivation could be useful for getting earlier crops. I’ll have to read more into it. Do you just have to tarp them for a few hours before dark or is there more to it?

The plants look really good! My only comment would be that while Advanced Nutrients makes fine products, they're really too expensive for what they are.

My sense is that especially for a home grower, it's probably cheaper and equally effective to use something like Jack's nutrients and Epsom salts, or mega crop's 1-part with a pk booster, or their 2 part.

But it certainly doesn't look like you're doing anything wrong! Good luck with the grow!
Thanks to your input, now trying Mega Crop 2 part. I’m mixing 5gallons at a time, and it takes a bit to get the powders to dissolve, but after first week, everything looking good with no burned tips. I use 1/2 strength nutes 3 days, clear water, nutes 3 days, pattern. With fabric pots, the heat in SoCal, and the massive root ball in these outdoor beasts, daily watering is required. Daily nutes with AN products for an entire summer would be over $100, easy. Great tip, Joe!

Wow. Lol... I’m a piker with my 15 and 10 g pots. What size bags and what kind of yields do you get with buckets that big? Awesome job!

I was able to pull 22oz of of one Cannatonic in a 10g last summer, so I can only imagine what your girls will look like come September/October...

Interesting this summer in SoCal..,I popped 5 seeds at same time (mid April), yet the supposedly “quick” Indica Kosur Kush and Purple Punch are barely in Pre-flower; the supposedly “late” Maui Waui Sativa already with white gum ball flower heads; both hybrid Cannatonic CBD also pretty developed. Learning every season...spraying Monterey BT weekly now to help deal with inevitable moths/caterpillars later...We’ll see if the Indicas finish in October or into November, and the Maui Waui finishes in September/early Oct...

Wow--and still 2 more weeks to go in July. You're gonna be yelling "Tim-ber!" when you fell those mommas. Gonna need a chainsaw!

I'm away from my garden for the first time this year...4 days. Have to admit I'm kind of like a nervous mother away from her children for the first time. May need to hit you up for pruning advice when I get back. Figure I have a couple weeks to set them up for max. airflow.

I feel you...once they are thriving we love them...

I cleared the bottom 1/4 of my girls a few weeks ago, as well as thinning the little stems trying to make it to the top, and it is super dense again. How often do veteran outdoor growers (I’m on my 4th outdoor grow) defoliate? My girls are dense and healthy with 20+ tops, but there is a lot of greenery in the center of their 5’ wide canopies. All the main tops are beefy and I see no need to thin the number, but how much trimming do you guys do between now and Fall harvest?
