Was thinking about rocking the boveda 62% packs after the buds are somewhat dry on the outside but moist on the inside, throw a hygrometer n a couple jars n watch em pretty close. Read like 15 tutorials on it, but I'm sure actually doing it and understanding how to do it are a little different lol.
I haven't used the bovida packs yet. I've been thinking about getting some for my wife. She grows blueberry and likes a long term cure with it so I think they would help her out a lot.

How are the girls this morning?
They look a lot better - I'll get some pics up here in about a half hour

Moved em around a little so they fit in the tent better. They were all perked up this morning after getting watered last night. Looks like a little nute burn on the tips of new growth (can see it in the 1st image)...still need to flush that compost tea through the solo cups but I'm going to wait a little longer so they can dry back out. Str8 water for a couple more waterings then I'll get them another dose of nutes (prob some more sensizym and root juice too).

Looking good in that tent. Getting full too. I'm glad to see they're doing better. Now you know what a thirsty plant looks like.
Are they starting it smell yet?

Yeah I've got a little problem w/ that lol...I woke up this morning and the whole house reaked of trees. I think during the 2 hours the exhaust fan was shut off during the dark period it all got out =\ GF was not real impressed. Probably gonna have to run it 24/7 and figure out a different solution for keeping them warmer w/ the lights out...

Definitely getting full...Getting bigger than I expected in 2 and 3 gallon pots. Might have been a good thing I had to pull those 2 herms lmao. The 2 gallon ones are definitely smaller than the ones in 3s. Might just order all 2 gallons so I can play around w/ more strains at a time in the tent...we'll see how it plays out soon enough lol. They either are gonna get too big for the tent real soon or start kicking into full flower production I think...

Nice! This stage is my favorite. I love it when they have thousands of bright white pistils standing straight up. It truly is a thing of beauty.

Yeah it's pretty amazing - Can't believe they were seeds 33-34 days ago :o

Looking great in there Ayr0n, not long to go now, keep those girls healthy and they will reward you ;)
Thanks GroErr. I'll try my best lol. Luckily no serious issues so far...fingers crossed

IMAG0778.jpg The girls are getting too big...not sure what to do. Thinking I shouldn't of planted those 2 new ones...they haven't sprouted yet so maybe they just wont germ...prob be better off. There won't be room for 7 in there =\ Got 7/7 germed the first time so it wouldn't be terrible if I lost 2 now... 7/9 is still like a C+ right?

Ever thought you would have too much weed?

How big is that led you were using? Maybe set up another area using led until some get done in tent then move them in there.

Is doing them outside an option? I always wanted to do a couple of autos in the sun.

Maybe use smaller pots, stuff them in there and maybe by the time they start getting big some of the others will be done to free up some room.

Never!

Only have this one ballast that can run MH or HPS (600w)...I just started the girls under it with the dimming switch set to 50% for the first couple weeks...was definitely overkill but they lived through the intensity lol.

Eventually I'd like to set up an area that's fenced off w/ tall enough fence to grow some autos in there but right now outdoors isn't an option. Got neighbors a stone throw away and most of em are the type to come steal a crop of weed -.- First day we were moving into our house the neighbors were outside trying to steal electricity or cable out the box lmao. We had to get ADT because our other neighbor saw someone trying to crawl in our fucking doggy door till she yelled at em :wall: shady

It's gonna take some training to keep all the ladies in the tent but i'll have to consider upgrading to something bigger real soon. Really want to play around with a bunch of strains n 32"x32" isn't gonna cut it lol. Hopefully this doesn't hurt my yield too much have them overlapping and stuffed in there. 5oz is the goal - think it's pretty reasonable / achievable.

Or maybe even about

Lmao

Hey ayr0n, I have extra cabinets to move plants around if I over-germ or clone now but when I didn't have options one thing I did that slowed them down a bit was flip the veg plants to 16/8. It definitely slows the growth rate imo and may gain you some time...

Hey groerr Thx for the tip. I'll def consider it when I start running photos next round. Got all autos right now on 22/2. Really think they'll stop growing soon n start filling out with bud sites. Seem to be slowing already on vertical growth and all the pistillates are swelling / buldging . New shoots of white pistols everywhere


Gotta work out a space for drying as well...still figuring it all out

They will stop vertical growth soon and that's as big as they will get. Except for the buds swelling, lol.

Looks like your just gonna have to stuff them in.

Here's an idea for the future, sell a half ounce of this crop and buy a bigger tent!
