Room looks awful. My "caretaker couldn't remember the fert ratio so they got water for a month. I dosed the shit out of them going to repot today and hit them with a real heavy dose again tommorow. I'll post some pics when the airline finds my 2 lost suitcases. Always put electronics in your carry on.

I think that's the most important part, and if there's a little bud come harvest, I'm stoked

Pics:

#1- flat topp purp
#2- master kush
#3- grapefruit kush
#4&5- group shots

I fed them some Great White mychorrizae fungi, a little molasses, and a half cap full of some FF grow big two days before this picture so I'd say they took nicely to the cocktail I mixed up for them
think I'll veg two or three more weeks. hopefully only need to go 2 more. enjoy

Looking nice B!

thanks man everything's definitely going a lot smoother than my last run. last run at this point, I was dealing with mites and summer heat and little growth each day but this round I see new healthy growth every time I open my closet so Id say things are lookin up so far for this one.

I will admit tho, I found a couple leaves that were starting to get a little dusting of powder mildew but I think that was due to the fact that I didnt have a fan running inside my closet during lights off cuz I was using a stand up oscillating fan outside of the closet to blow in at first but I added a fan above the light that blows down and keeps all the ladies dancing throughout the night so no more signs of PM. I also read that neem helps control PM so I sprayed them with some Mite Rid that's a super concentrated neem (90% azadirachtin concentrate) and that shouldve taken care of ANY mites or their larvae too

Looking great NB, you got some great strains going there. They're all from clone right?

Hey the best thing to keep PM at bay is very low humidity. So maybe pick up a dehumidifier soon and throw it in your closet, on at 'night' at least. If you can keep your RH below 50% most of the time I don't think you'll have anymore PM issues. I run a portable a/c unit all the time in my room, so this is already taken care of for me. Oh and cut those PM affected leaves off asap!

yea humidity is at 48-50% now constant with the fans blowing around so I dont think it should really be an issue any more. haha and i cut those leaves off so quick! Im glad I caught it soon but I dont know how people let it get so bad...I was reading up on PM and guys were posting pics of plants completely polka dotted in PM and wondering if there was still a way to get rid of it lol....

but yea all are from clone but I grew out the grapefruit diesel from seed then took some clones. I havent seen any of the finished master kush yet from the same mother as my clones but I know that this flat topp is ridiculous indoors. imo it makes gdp look like some mexi hay

really looking nice this round! cant wait to see you dial it in this round bro!

For sure man, those plants look very healthy and happy Bro!!

Man they are looking ircredible dude. Keep it up, can't wait to see the finished product.

thanks for all the nice words guys

everything's still growing nice and green here. the flat topp's are branching nicely after I supercropped them a little without making the kink to let the bottom branches catch up for a day. the mk's are too indica to supercrop so Im just letting them go and they're starting to branch a little more now from the rotating nodes so probably 2 more weeks of veg. maybe 3 and do the last one under hps to get them ready for the flip

so this week is week 3 of veg and I decided to move them under to my bloom room to get used to the hps before the flip to cut down on any stress. I was running them at 20/4 under my T5 but am now running them 18/6 for a week or two to get them ready for the flip. gonna try the 36 hours of darkness before 12/12 too.

I'll take pics a little later once theyve had their nap

Hey NB, I am excited to see you do the 36 hour off trick..I am very curious to see the difference. Jason from Bloom said this really works, but he did say it can't be 35 or 37 hours, has to be exactly 36.
