Budzbuddha’s House of HLG ( end of summer ) grow

Update - 99 problems

Well , the Tester A plant has really blown up to pretty much match the Tester B plant. This the reason i stick to lousy 2 gallon coco pots - couldn’t imagine the plant size if i ran them in 5 gallons.

I can still get pretty big plants from 2 gallons. But …..
Here we are .
I am running ( A ) plant in a fringe lighting location of the HLG BLACKBIRD. This rig has been a great light to use when i am up against a wall looking for “ grow space “. All of those free photons are definitely enough to keep this plant thriving. She is flowering nicely even if she is not under light directly.

I do plan to continue some kind of training on her to help control ( if possible - lol ) . She is on same type of feed as her “ sister “ - GH MAXIBLOOM @ 5.8 ph ( tap water ) and occasional Hydroguard. She sits a raised drip pan.

I have no spare tents or “ space “ for her but think she will be ok.

Devastation

Welp - have mold in 2 of my plants - banana blaze - those thick growing buds were just ripe for mold.

They are a dense leaf plants and its been rather chilly lately and now even raining. I thought i had good air flow in room but apparently not.

This is why i grow perpetually- never no if something may go sideways .

I am just going to toss buckets and all into a large contractor trash bag and sling into dumpster.

Since i am updating various threads - Here is the replacement plant for those 2 banana blaze plants that got the mold …. ( *Lord’s Prayer )

This is one of my go to strains - KKP S1 ( Durban Poison x GG4) that i sporadically run with grows. My wifey and cats prefer it over Blue Dream ( *shrugs )

She was flipped a few days ago.

Update - herm town

Well ran into my final issues with those original 8 plants ( solo cups ) that were part of the “ container grow thread “ .

3 of them ( hermied ) as was another “ tester “ strain -
( GG4 x SG sour grapes ) - not really a big deal since the other 5 plants are throwing their lady bits without any problems.

Unfortunately they were very vigorous plants but useless to me. If any were a full male then i would have harvested its pollen. But these were herm and better for a dumpster.

It actually helped make more space for the remaining 5 and no crowding .

Shit happens that is why i grow back up plants.

Tester B chop day -

This chunky gal got chopped and hung up today. She was ahead of Tester A plant. Normally i would just “ leave her in pot “ drying slowly but as here in cali are to expect rain and high humidity i figured time to chop and hang instead.

I just did a very basic trim on her for right now and will continue to clean her up as time goes on. I still need to find a spot for her to dry out over time.

Anyways - here is her root ball ( coco and maxibloom )

Sorry to hear you had hermie visit, but there's no guarantees here, right??

I don't know if this is a good place to mention to you that you must have friends in (get) high places, or what IDK - but maybe Stephen got on here; heard you were heartbroken over QB96's being gone and said throw Budzbuddha a bone!
Never say us HLG junkies don't stick together!
Check it....
