The family is lookin good Prosperian. Very happy girls, and it's cool to hear NO NUTES. Gotta love that. The Sour Kush is really trying to stretch on you brother, have you thought about pinching or working with her some to slow some of that. Thanks for the 4th of july freedom report. LOL Take it easy bro, and enjoy your holiday. Peace out.

Yeah, looking at the pics, the Sour Kush and the OG #18 has too much spacing between nodes and that will cause problems later with my lights.

LST'd both of them this morning...

Looking good bro.. ;) hey, I just did an update myself on the last 2 to 3 pg's. Both sets of all the girls, and also a shot of all the babies coming up. Would like if you could drop in if you have a spare to or 3 minutes. Let me know what you think buddy... Thanks, Dank.

Results of the https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/685734-more-pots-bigger-pots.html thread, decided to go with four, 5gal Geopots and try to squeeze the flowering auto diesel into the middle with the 3-gal size. I can put the auto outside or the veg cabinet for the last couple weeks of flowering. I will determine the sex of the bag seed and veg her in the cabinet until after harvest. So that way I don't lose any plants and still have the potential for six different strains.



I think I will go with two plants on my next grow. Think it will be a good challenge for me to try to match my past multi-container harvests with fewer plants. Learning a lot as I grow indoors. So far, I've grown four plants naturally with no trimming in base organic soil and plastic containers using bottle organic nutes. Now I'm growing six plants using organic amended bag soil, no bottle nutes, early topping, LST-ing, and Geopots.

I like how we can grow many different ways and for me, this keeps things challenging and interesting. :leaf:

55 DAYS from dropping seeds. Remaining plants were LST-d this morning. No signs of deficiency or burn and I have given nothing but tap water to the Roots Organics potting soil. I think the key to this type of feeding is to transplant often and replace the soil with fresh. I think I have about another week or two before final transplant and a week later to flower. Getting tight in the room.

Great decision man, I like the no kill method. I'm not sure of your grow cab configuration, lights, size, and so on. I think letting the auto finis in there would be a really smart decision though letting her go full term, and also clearing up space for the photo strains is kind of win win. It's easy enough to pop in some 2700K cfl's or whatever you need. I found some 300W equivalent's that put out 4200 lumens @ 68W with the 2700K. I think they were at the big box store for $15 or something, and they're bright, and surprisingly cool for the size. I'm glad you were able to make up your mind so easily, and feel good about your decision. I've seen people anguish over this crap for a week or so and end up behind cause of it. No room for indecisiveness in this game. Take it easy bro. Peace out.

Hey myco, thanks for the feedback. I agree with you, peeps need to look at the info and make a decision, good or bad and learn from it. Everything I do is recorded in my calendar so I can look back and see my errors and successes.

There is a risk in making a bad decision but you can't beat yourself up about, just chalk it up as a learning experience. Those that have never grown are missing the fun and challenges of gardening not to mention the personal satisfaction and the amazing reward of the harvest! Smokin' the bud and saying to yourself, "I grew this" nothing is sweeter.

Here's my grow cabinet. It's located right next to the closet and shares the same ventilation.


I can replace the sprout cfls with the 2700k bulbs, no problem. My only concern is the heat because I was running close to 80 in there and that same air feeds the grow closet. May not work unless I can keep the heat down in both locations. Another challenge, yay!

man the girls are looking great. I will be sticking with a single plant in a big container again this grow. Next run will be from seeds, so will need to see how many females I get.

Yup, everyone is happy. Have to call this my "lazy man's grow" other than a small hiccup at the seedling stage, things have progressed smoothly with the plants. They have needed very little attention partly because I've worked really hard to make the environment as close to ideal as possible. Hope it continues this way!

Eyeball this chart before planting the seeds. It will give you better odds at females from the feedback I've read.

I have seen that chart before. Totally forgot about it though. I will actually test it and see if it hold out buy planting one that "looks male"

Yeah, that's a good idea. I've always bought feminized so the issue hasn't come up for me.

Things are going well in the garden. Weird not giving these plants anything but water. I'm having to restrain myself from adding any supplemental nutrients, but the plants are not showing any signs of lacking or receiving excessive nutes. Believe me, I don't want to create any problems, so I sit back and watch these babies grow. And they're doing quite a bit of growing right now!

Watered yesterday just over 1/2 gal. per plant, seven days between watering. Geopots and Roots Organics soil are working well together keeping the soil moisture in check. I don't see any drainage or root issues. Plant side branches are starting to grow into each other and giving me reason to think about the final transplant to five gallon Geopots. Starting third week of being transplanted in the 3 gal containers.

Have a great week!

Sounds like things are coming right along. The leafs will grow together, and seem like they're not getting any light, but as long as you do your rotations everyday they'll be just fine. Glad to see the topping is working out for you as well, I really think you'll be happy with the results. The way you like to grow smaller plants, the topping will essentially provide you with almost twice the meds per plant when you veg them properly like you do. It's all about how long they have to veg after the topping was done, and if she'll have enough time to put on the height she'll need to make it effective, and worthwhile. I'm basically in the same boat as you, I don't like big tall plants, and with the space restrictions I have I want to get as much out of each plant as possible in the time she's in the flower tent. Yield divided by the time and space being taken, always equals maximum amount of meds if taken seriously and every variable is accounted for before hand. I know alot of things can come up during a grow, but if you plan ahead as much as possible you can not only save a ton of cash, but also equip yourself for the best possible outcome and help take alot of stress out of your grow. Preparation is the key to success my grandpa would always say when planning his garden out for the year. He was always so meticulous about arranging, and rotating everything and now I understand why all the careful planning. The earth can't give what she doesn't have. The garden is really coming along bro, nice to see your success with the organics. Makes life alot easier I think. Enjoy your day. Peace out.

On the road for the next couple of weeks, hopefully my seeds will come in from sea of seeds while I am gone. In the mean time I am considering taking some bag seed that was gifted to me and trying out a couple that look male according to the chart before I start the paid ones :). I have separated out a couple that clearly look like they should be female according to the image.

I have been working with clones so far, but seeds are interesting since I could keep some strains to run in the future).

Getting crowded. One nice thing about letting them grow natural is you can keep everything narrow and growing up. Cropping and LST-ing is creating a wider plant and that's not a good thing when you have limited shelf space and too many plants. I will pull the bag seed and probably the flowering diesel very soon to give the other plants room to spread out.




Blue OG. Lighter colors are from the light and flash. Leaves are a deep green.





Sour Kush has too much spread between nodes. Really having to LST her to keep her away from light.



White Lavender. Nice plant growing very fast.

If you pinch the stalks very lightly at first to gently break the fibers inside the stems it will slow growth, and also build up the strength. Just a suggestion. Lookin good bro. Peace out.
