[alltatup]

I am spying some pre-flowers for the first time!!! How cool is that!!

[Redwasp]

Very nice. Always a pretty sight.

[Redwasp]

Is that black fingernail Polish? I like it.

[alltatup]

Redwasp The nail polish is Cannabis Green (I changed the name).

[Euroaznscotty]

alltatup seems you ladies and mine are pushing along the same timeline!

[alltatup]

Chefbjy I should have left mine for another week or so; they could have been a bit taller in the grow box. But yeah, you can tell when they are rarin to go!!

Euroaznscotty You're just a few days behind me!! ;-}

[oldjarhead100]

looking good ATU

[Mr.furley]

I played I spy preflower tonight with five of six plant. A little early, but it's there. I'll flip next week
😆

[SinsemillaScientist]

Im on my thrid week now in my flowering tent and budlets are literally everywhere! The only thing I dislike about this reveg clone is that she always throws off a plethora of side branches frkm her lowest stalks making almost a secondary understory canopy.

[Euroaznscotty]

SinsemillaScientist That's what mine did right off the bat also. High branching phenome!

[SinsemillaScientist]

Its quite interesting how each plant looks and acts a little different! Especially in her prime of the flowering stage♡

[alltatup]

A plethora of side branches is a good thing!!!

[alltatup]

The end of week 2 of 12/12:

They grew vigorously all week; I continued some gentle training and I plucked a leaf here and there to keep the shorter bud sites exposed.

Both Tangerine Dream and Northern Light put out a couple of long internodes, and now the top internodes are getting much closer together. The Tangerine grew about an inch every two days. Even the Afghan Kush has some stretch to her!! It's like the strongest colas are staking out their territory by getting there first.

I have dutifully filled in my grow space with bud sites. I am so worshipful of my girls right now. What goddesses they are.



Tangerine Dream Northern Light

[PaganRich]

They are looking picture perfect

[Redwasp]

Very nice growth spurt you have had there. Beautiful

[D.A.A.S.69]

alltatup, You ain't messin around this grow are you ? What an awesome looking canopy, they look great, extra large harvest coming your way .
Great job, beautiful pictures too !!!
How long were your lights out from the hurricane ?

[alltatup]

Redwasp Thanks!! We are trying!!

D.A.A.S.69 I ain't messin around no more!!!! I have a new aortic valve pumpin blood like crazy, so I have to step up my game. I did not lose power.

[Euroaznscotty]

They are exploding! Loving the extra growth. Looking like you'll be getting some awesome colas

[alltatup]

I am just hoping for NO crises during flowering!!! Then we'll be good!!

[Redwasp]

Alltatup that is just a beautiful site to see. Was so worried about you losing due to the storm. Makes my heart sing to see them doing so well.

[alltatup]

"Wild thing
You make my heart sing
you make everything
Groovy...."

Redwasp you're a little young to remember this song, but I love a singing heart!!!!

[Redwasp]

[Redwasp]

Omgosh yes. Have you seen some of my other songs I post? Many are pre 70s. My grown kids could even sing Wild thing for you.

[alltatup]

That is so groovy!!!!!!

[oldjarhead100]

nice looking girls ATU

ROUNDING OUT WEEK 3 12/12

This has been one vigorous grow. What am I doing differently, I ask myself.

1. Open door to grow box all the way through has kept the temp around 82F, which is good. Much better air circulation and heat control. 73 at night. I'm hoping that weather continues to cool down as my flowering progresses. Never can tell in the dirty south...
2. I put in a new HPS bulb that I hadn't used before, so that may account in part for their cooperative growth. Eye Hortilux 400w HPS.
3. More nutes.
4. Re-read and re-re-read the defol tutorial. I've missed a lot in the past; I think I've done better at following Neb's directions this time.
5. New aortic valve. I swear all that unimpeded blood pumping is having an impact on my growth, er, I mean the plants' growth...
6. I've done defoliation throughout flowering rather than all at once at the end of week 3. They have continued to throw out new leaves, but I know that's about to stop, thank the cannabis gods.

[Redwasp]

On which brand of light to order. Sorry

[alltatup]

Eye Hortilux 400w HPS.

Redwasp

[Agentbuckwold3]

You always have some of the healthiest looking DWC grows

[Redwasp]

Looking good. So are the horilux worth it? Have 2 hps and 2 mh to replace after this grow.

[Chefbjy]

Personally they have been solid bulbs. I've had one for a few grows now that I'm using in my 5x5. But I have a brand new one in my 4x4 and after I moved the auto flowers in there they blew up fat and are loving it. Plus it's made in the 🇺🇸 😉.

[Euroaznscotty]

alltatup looking good girl!
Personally I stand by the hortilux, plus they have a 1 year warranty. So if your bulb dies because you are dimming it, they will replace it during that year.

[alltatup]

I was using a standard hortilux before, but this one seemed to be so much better that it was worth the extra money. Nebula says the real food is LIGHT, so this seems like stronger food. I also really like that it's USA made.

[oldjarhead100]

I didn't relies there where more than one hortilux hps I always get the one with the flowers on it I'll have to check it out ,I am sold on the hortilux t5s power veg wow they work great

[alltatup]

I don't know if they stopped making the ones they used to, but this one is more expensive than the old one.

[Chefbjy]

They have some different varieties dual spectrum full spectrum blue red yellow spectrums etc. Double ended are usually the pricier ones.

[Tika]

alltatup
I am sorry I’m so self indulgently behind
you have the goddess in your green. That is 4Sure but then..of course you do😘❤️

[alltatup]

Tika You have your hands full! I WISH I could expand my operation--not quite as large as yours, but I would sure like to grow twice as much as I do now.

Yes, indeed: I know the goddess is present; I feel her all over the house right now because the plants' energies are so strong; they vibrate with growth. Such an amazing companion to us humans...

[alltatup]
