The killer is that I kinda lost my mojo. I only grow cause it's enjoyable and somewhat relaxing. I don't smoke much and don't need the money. I couldn't let these girls go without some love but as for the next crop I'm still debating what I'm going to do.
Well let me know if you need anything bro. I will help anyway I can for sure! :mrgreen:

Well I still managed a pound from the few branches left behind. Chopped, jarred and hidden. IMG_4076.JPG
These were about 3 inches tall when the others were chopped 2 1/2 weeks ago. Again the auto love. To many plants in the trays and really need to add more light and rearrange. Lst before it's to late too. They are growing fast as fuck and not slowing down. I have been spraying with overdrive from optic foliar twice a week and increased the calmag to 100% the recommended and feeding every other day. These bitches can eat and drink considering the 2 gallons of 1200ppm hardly lasts 40 hours. The plant in the floor had a single tiny branch left and I wanted to let her go. It is still growing and starting to produce buds crazy as it sounds being an auto way past the due date.

Don't let it get you down. Don't let those assholes get to you. I'm sure they will get what they deserve.
It took awhile but I'm past it. I spent another day reinforcing so it's even apocalypse safe. image.jpg
Some deep cheese from dinafem. Getting big and still haven't hit the preflower stretch yet. With recent success on dinafem I'd say these may break some records. Within the next 2 weeks they will be double this size.

Sorry guys and gals things have been kinda nuts lately. Lots of sheit going on. 14 hour day today and then home to feed the girls and built a few lights.

I'm concerned about these deep cheese from dinafem. They are probably day 60and continue to grow with no preflowers . Might be a phauto..hmmmm. 2 of these are under an amare pro4 450 watts, 3 Cree 3590's @100w each and the amare signature monos so they are being bathed in light. IMG_0080.JPG

The rest are the same as last time 11 more hubbabubba smelloscope. This time 8 are in the trays vs 6 last time and they are getting tight.

So I ran into an issue last run and couldn't figure it out. Plants under the lights were yellowing and looking pretty poor. I figured light stress but I also had them jacked 40 inches which is just nuts. Typical calmag issues don't affect just the tops like this either. I though low N but not really an issue in flower. I tried foliar spraying, organic soil additives, different nutes with no luck.

The solution came as a stupid error on my part but soon realized I needed waaaay more calmag. So now I'm adding 2 types of calmag since they are derived from different things. Also went from 1/4-1/2 tsp to 3-4 tsp per gallon and the plants look absolutely AMAZING! They are drying up 7 gallon pots in 30 hours and I'm feeding every time with rich nutrients. 100% recommended on the bottle program and 6 more additives at full strength.IMG_0083.PNG
My dates are all messed up as I have tons of plants at different ages. I think these are around day 40-45 from seed. Scrog is set to my max height and they are close to filling it up again.

Well after today I finally feel confident in growing again. I had 2 access doors to get in and I eliminated one today, boarded it up with siding. Installed a new door in the other spot with a key pad, deadbolt and metal plates so you can't pry it open. Best part is that's the second door you would have to go through, the first one is bolted with an extreme lock on it that would need a plasma cutter to open. 2 cameras outside and one inside each room that alert my phone with motion detectors. Screwed the air conditioner in to the wall. Finally installed 3 security lights, 2 on motion and 1 by the front door that's bright as fuck. lol it's powered by a Cree cob so no wonder. At this point I feel it would be easier for a scumbag to get s job than rob me again. Once the motion is set off I have a direct shot from my house with my Ar-15. Oh best part I bought an inferred camera with a 300 foot range that again I have access to what's going on outside from my house. It's cost me around 2grand to become secure, just wish I had done it before the fact.

Sorry for the delays guys and gals.

The increased calmag is still fairing well with the plants. Couldn't be happier with the growth and condition of the plants. Hopefully I should be in for an epic harvest. image.jpg

Hey Big, my clones had long wispy branches, but most have gotten considerably stronger since adding CaMg to my nute mix

You don't usually add it in? I always added a little from the deficiency scare under leds. I just realized now like a dope that I did 2 things differently before they changed. 1 was the amount of calmag and the other was optic foliar overdrive spray. That foliar spray is said to cure many deficiencies as well so I'm really not sure what it was. I will continue the calmag and stop the spray to see which it was.

You would be surprised how effective Foliar feedings can be, they have made all the difference in my grow this round for me.

Have you looked into optic foliar, it's not a typical nute feed. Transport increases nute uptake, watts opens the outer leaf layer to increase light absorption, reverse helps prevent and stop hermies, overgrown is a nutrient foliar with transport in it to help with deficiencies. Pretty neat stuff

I had them in veg way too long, and was not adding it then, as it was only 60w

I won't make that mistake again

I do foliar
