Plants are looking great man, btw you can tell if your plant is mature by alternating nodes if they are alternating the plant should be mature.

UGH, my pump sucks... I got an Ecoplus 264 (I believe that's the number) figured it would be plenty to feed 8 1/4 lines to some buckets but I dunno... it runs for a little while with consistent flow and then I go check on it a minute or two later and it's puttering and barely spitting anything out of the lines... they are pretty long but I figured this was plenty big. I wonder if I need a much larger pump or if mine just sucks... doesn't appear to be clogged or anything that I can tell... I can't start hand watering out of nowhere I made this place pretty difficult to navigate around lol.

This blows, especially since I'll leave for several days soon and need a reliable daily feeding without anyone to depend on.

I can hand water them with a Funnel though, I have a nice large one generally intended for automotive purposes, that will make watering the SCROG much easier, I can just water straight down dead-center with the funel and not get anything wet that shouldn't be. Sucks but oh well, maybe I just have clogged lines although it seems strange that ALL of them would show the same sputtering problem and not just certain ones. This could turn out to be a bummer as I rather enjoyed just plugging my pump in 3-4 minutes a day.

Sorry to hear about your pump man... Ive never done Hempy yet but knew going away for a number of days, the plants would never survive with method...
Im loving the SCROG too...

Great work..

My house won't be empty or anything, my better half will be here but I don't really want to put the pressure on her to feel like she needs to take care of them so I am hoping I can get my pump issues worked out, kicking on for 5 minutes a day will handle it all... maybe I should just clean it all up real good the night before I leave and hope for the best. Going to get something figured out, I just don't want to leave the burden on anyone.

Got a new pump... exact replacement, hopefully this one holds up or does turn out to have been the problem, would like to have some reliable feeding going on when I'm not around.

Hey man glad to hear you got your pump issue cleared up, i hope you watched it a few times to make sure you would not come home to quite a few dead plants that would greatly sadden me, anyway way man best of luck to you hope all is well when you get back.

100% Females in here, even both Bag Seeds and to think I was about to cut one of them... it's just growing 'differently' the pistils are emerging more from what looks like new growth than pre-flowers, they skipped the pre-flower and jumped right into the flower it seems because I am finally starting to see them everywhere. I will be keeping a close look out for Hermies though, one of the bag seed plants had a much more severe powdery mildew problem than I had imagined because I finally moved it out and then really got a good look at it... HPS hides all, apparently.

Everything has been getting regularly sprayed with Peroxide solution though, I think we're good... I also have Dutch Master Reverse (gotta get saturator) so I can Attack the hermies to see if that actually works (if I get any signs of them) although just killing the plant is easier lol.

Day 15 Flower (Day 40 Total)

Have been experiencing some issues with powdery mildew, you will see one of the plants I have stripped most of the leaves from (kind of an experiment to see if it still yields ok) but the leaves were pretty infested and I haven't been keeping up on the spray enough. I have the issue on all plants to some degree, the horizontal SCROG I have not actually noticed on but I am sure it's everywhere since it's in the room. I am not going to resort to a Sulfer Burner or anything for some time unless necessary but will keep spraying with H202 and maybe get a Sulfer spray or Fungicide. I have a burner I can borrow from a friend but that's gonna be a last resort probably -- plants seem to be doing ok, other than that. This has been far from a perfect grow so far but I am sure if I keep up on that and give them a peroxide bath @ harvest it can fix anything I might not have full control of during the grow.

That one plant looks funny, I wonder if it will still grow without many leaves... I have no room to move around in here, real pain in the ass as I figured it would be. Definitely gonna have to start keeping the numbers down to maybe 4-5 plants instead of the 8 I have flowering right now, wish I had a bigger room.

They haven't gotten that tall either imo, it's over 2 weeks in I wonder if I am going to get any more stretch, it seemed WAY more milder than I anticipated, I was at least figuring they'd hit the top of the vertical screen, not even close... I don't think they even doubled in size, unless I have some severe problems with them I am unaware of they're pretty short and I expected at least another full foot out of them (some of them).

Glad the pump issue has been resolved and the plants are looking healthy!
Again, good work!
I need to get the pump on a timer though, I just left it running for 20 minutes on accident and used the entire nutrient reservoir I had mixed last night... I usually get 2-3 days out of it, whoops. At least the drain pans were large enough to contain it all

Are you saying I should edit the good work statement? LOL

Yeah today maybe! Actually I re-arranged all the plants, moved one outside of the vertical SCROG and did some general maintenance so other than the pump mishap it was overall pretty good LOL.

I think I am going to go down there and shoot some HQ HD video since it's been a while since I did a decent shot of everything. Nothing fancy, maybe not even any sound but at least I can do better than what my sports cam can do... wish I could swap in all metal halides for this but maybe if I crank the one up to 100% and the HPS's down to 50% it will work out ok.

Here's a quick couple of video shots... my fans are on at warp speed though so getting some nice steady shots was impossible for more than 1-2 second intervals, I like to abuse my plants with air. lol

Looking really good Dr. I am the same way, when running a scrog I don't think there is such a thing as too much air movement.
