Starting to look beastly. Resisting the urge to lick my monitor.

Really beautiful Pros! Your ladies are the picture of health, and I think you just made my monitor sticky with that front cola. Well it seems like your led was quite the intelligent investment for sure. Looks like the quality you'll have will be second to none. Really is looking amazing bro. It won't let me rep you, but I haven't seen pics in a while like yours, so it's definitely deserving. Have a great day man. Peace out.

I was just telling myco the weekend brought the frost fairies. Amazing how fast it happens.


#6 (bag seed) is showing some lighter green leaves on new growth. She might be a hungrier strain so I 1/4 dosed her with Jacks to bump the N. Light colored growth could also be the strain, don't know for sure with it being a bag seed. The rest are deep green and looking happy.



Thanks for following along. Just trying to make it to harvest.

Update: 31 DAYS into 12/12 flip. Nothing added but water and light. Temps are maintain 75 degrees with lights on. Flowers are filling in along stems.

I'm going to look into these leds for future use, cus its so hot here for much of the year. The girls are looking fantastic.

Thanks man. The days are flying by. I went into the grow this morning and saw some droop. Checked the container for weight, dry. Looked at my grow calendar, five days since last watering, right on the money. Felt like I just watered them a couple days ago.

LED is working well. It's one piece of equipment that doesn't require anything after firing up, well, other than height adjustments. How is your grow going? Mainlining still working well?

yeah bro its going much better and less stressful than my first grow and I think i'll yield more with the two than I did with my first four. but idk, it doesn't really matter as long as I keep improving im happy

It's amazing how they got so frosty so fast. Must be the led. Everything looks so good and healthy. Keep it up.

Great looking buds Pros. I like the water and light thing you have going. I tell everyone to cook their soil now no matter what it is. It's the "Tip of the year". I generally let my containers go 4 days between watering too.

General question for all tuning in......how much air hits your plants and at what force? I was observing that the leaves that are exposed to higher light intensity and higher air circulation are the ones that are showing my Ca deficiency in a more pronounced fashion. Perhaps this is due to a higher rate of photosynthesis within those particular leaves?

I am @33 days Pros, feeding more than yours though. I went minimal on feeding this time over last, but not quite down to only water and light

My fan is so close, touching some of my plant, that I cannot run it that fast. I have not noticed yellowing closer to the fan unless I occasionally get a leaf that get damaged by the fan.

Damn I keep missing all the good journals till right near the end. Need to be more vigilant lol... Good stuff here Pros. Really looking as healthy and sugary as I could ever dream of my plants looking. Some really kickass bud coming your way bro!!! Bet the smoke reports are going to be fantastic.

That's good to hear. I think that's the real sign of your personal improvement when you can take fewer plants and produce more bud. I will be following your lead next time with two plants, a LSD and either another Blue OG or Chem 4OG. I will be mainlining them in a cooked organic soil. I want to produce quality harvest with fewer plants. Maybe just one plant?

Thanks polo. Don't know if it's a LED thing or just happy plants that's creating the frosty goodness. As long as I can keep replicating this in the closet, I will be a happy camper.

I recall first reading about cooking soil in the Organics section. Wasn't ready to graduate to making my own recipe. Roots Organics potting soil was the next best thing in my opinion and I'm glad I went that route. I just added the thirty-day cook process to my method and haven't looked back since. I don't miss the stink from pouring organic bottled nutes into my soil, man that stuff is nasty. Cringe just thinking about it.

I have air flow coming from a passive intake vent system from my office. Since going to LED I pulled all the fans from the closet. I have a 4" 160 cfm in-line fan running at 30% power 24/7 hooked to a Phresh carbon scrubber and venting to the attic. Keeps a negative pressure in the room for odor. I see just a little bit of leaf movement here an there from the air flow but it's very minor. The LED has two fans pulling air the opposite direction from the plant canopy.

You might be on to something there regarding the Ca issue. Those HID lights are really intense and can cook a deficient leaf in no time. Obviously, so will wind burn. I think high-end LED panels have the punch of a HID system, but are delicate and precise.

Here is a pic of what's going on in there except there is no longer a floor fan.

33, just a few days ahead of me. Can't wait to hear about the smoke report on that Strawberry Dream. Here is my take on leaf damage, so what, the plant will grow another one. I have several scorched leaves on the fluros down below and I leave them as they are. If the plant doesn't want the leaf it will yellow and drop it. Instead what I am seeing is dark green leaves with scorch marks, lol. I just try to stay out of the plant's way. They have been doing very well without gardeners for a very long time.

Thanks Hamish. Your opinion means a lot bro. You have seen your share of pot plants! Here is a tip that worked for me on keeping track of all my peeps. I sub to the thread that I want to follow. Then I set a favorite on my Internet browser to load the "My Rollitup" page first. (https://www.rollitup.org/usercp.php) First thing I see when I load up RUI is the list of sub threads. Cool thing is, the list will only show me new posts. That way I know when someone has added to a thread I sub too. Makes my life easier. Later bro.

I never stress a couple damaged fan leaves, as long as the rest of the plant looks happy. I am switching from FFOF to RO this go around, but I don't think I will be cooking it, just no good place to do it.

Hope the RO performs well for you. Yeah it was hard for me to find a spot, but the cook bin ended up in my garage.

You probably caught this earlier, but just in case. Doesn't need to be big because you cook as you grow. I added more holes to this and slipped one inside the other for drainage.

Update: 32 Days from 12/12 flip. Plants are doing very well. Lots of frost on the leaves. No feed issues, drinking water every 5 days.

look great, sorry cant Rep you

cant wait to see em in 4 weeks time

Damn...I didn't know it snows in Texas this time of year!!!

Holy balls bro. Just beautiful. I really love the green. I am cooking my Rev soil right now wondering what the hell am I doing? This is a great example of how to grow in organic soil. Much respect.

I'm sure all the effort in a custom soil recipe is worth the effort. In the long run, super soils are the way to go, but for me, convenience wins out with pre-mixed bagged soils in smaller more manageable quantities.

And at $19 bag (one bag per plant), I can afford the convenience for limited amount of plants I grow. Probably too expensive for larger grows and that's why the super soil made by the growers is so popular.

I appreciate the feedback Gandalf. You have incredible grows and I enjoy following your thread. Keep at it bud, just like everything else, you will find what works best for you!
