    Setup looks great - plants are Fabulastic - you're one busy dude, but cannabis plants do that to us. I was going to shut down for the winter, but my wife gave me the idea to upgrade, so i thank her for letting me. When I said about $800 she said okay.

      Cloth pots and coco I use binder clips on the edge with plant ties. Problem is with a smaller plant in a 5 gal smart pot the angle to the edge is 45° to 90° so your setup gives more, Straight down pull for a early start at training. I do use 12 gage wire but they don't really stay put unless they have roots binding the coco around them. I have multiple miscellaneous items like nuts, bolts washers I have used to weigh things down, but they get in the way. Something a little clearer and permanent.
      Soooooooo my brain has been turning for a little bit and I will reveal something soon.

    so, I bide my time and slink off to the garden and just r e l a x

    picture: top left

    she is mad at me, I don't blame her
    I took her out of her 5 gallon pot, and put her in a 3.5 gallon pot, downsizing, its happening everywhere
    cleaned out her middle - a very little bit - she needs a defoliation - still quite thick with leaf in the middle, no damp spots, just thick

    NL
    106 days from seed

    picture: bottom left

    also not happy with me - another downsizing
    while fitting her upper collar - I noticed a big thin patch (bad training), will fix that once she starts lifting the upper ring

    I downsized both of these girls, to manage the light for the space better

    just cruising along - I just removed the support I had on her, make sure she can carry her own weight
    putting out new growth
    she takes water (CALiMAGig and Armor Si) every 2-4 days (just let her dry out, and slowly water her in, just until run off, keeping what little goodness there is, in the solo)
    not seeing any roots at the bottom. soon

    she is doing great, despite all the things I have done to her

    I topped her, and missed - ended up with a fim?
    waiting for her to sort that out enough to actually see whats going on and how many tips

    started her at %25 GH schedule Nutes
    a couple of tips showed a burn, so I pulled some nutes out and replace with plain water - been good ever since
    RQS advised 'minimal nutrients' - so will go with %20 on next res change




    expecting a package, any day now, from Amazon - Fan Upgrade (from 4" to 8")
    really need it - daytime temps have started hitting 30-31 (depending on the thermometer I look at

    ok then - LOL. will post accordingly

      Lurking, wow, this is a real epic poem you got going on!! A few comments:

      a. Does the Latin mean, All of that dies in the garden???? Lousy translation, only had one semester of Latin in high school, way back when.

      b. "Too many people": Always a good idea to go lurk in the hortus and get high when too many humans are around.

      c. When you write, The Spinsters, I believe you mean the goddesses? Oh, and by the way, I'm a spinster, but I prefer the term crone, or wise elder woman. If those two goddesses didn't need 5 gals and you downsized them to 3.5, they aren't mad at you: they're snug. Surely you realize how much our plants love us when we care for them with love.

      d. "needs of the many, out weigh the needs of the few, etc etc": While I totally respect your communism, I gotta say, Survival of the fittest in the case of Cannabis. You don't want a bunch of mediocre plants who didn't get enough light or have enough room to reach their max. potential; you want the correct number of plants to thrive and grow you the phattest dankest buds you can get in your environment.

      For example, I'm keeping my eye on my White Widow plant, and I've already decided that if she doesn't flourish more as she grows, I'll remove her so that Jack Herer and Cindy99 have more space; they will get bigger if I have to do that, cuz I'll know long before flower and I'll be able to train them. Sometimes we have to do it to achieve the best harvest.

      As for the rest of it: A+++++++

        LOL

        a.
        some time in the garden
        took me a while, playing with google translate to get me there. Im sure Latin Scholars are rolling in their graves, laughing and pointing at my conjugation. For some weird reason, I could remember hortus=garden (must have been in a book, or something I read, somewhere along the line)
        oooh, dating yourself Atu, Im oldish - but Latin wasn't taught

        b.
        humans are why we haven't REALLY seen any Aliens. They want nothing to do with us
        I don't mean Clem out on the mountain "the giant silver ship drove up to me, 2 legged critters got out, asked me if their hankie smelled like chloroform, when I woke up, they were gone and my behind is really sore" type of aliens. Those are equivalent to human drunken rednecks, out for a joyride, flipping turtles* onto their back and tipping cows*
        When the Aliens come, we are ALL going to know

        *no actual animals were hurt in this post

        c.
        a spinster is a Wise Elder Woman, of course
        the crass words society uses for women have no power here
        I saw a T-Shirt once (wish I owned it) "I met God, She is black"

        d.
        LOL - no communal drive here. Pure LAZINESS. I could raise 4 pots (means finding 4 blocks, lugging them into the garden, moving out the pot, move in the block ...), or lower 4 pots (remove 2 blocks, downsize 2 pots). I chose the path with the least amount of real work.

        LurkingInTheGrass My fears are put to rest. I was momentarily afraid that you had turned into a plant-restricting, older-woman-dissing, fluent-Latin-speaking, Karl-Marx-spouting hooligan,but then I remembered:

        That's not possible. He's Canadian. And everyone knows that Canadians are the nicest people on the planet. What was I thinking???!!!???

            Dang Lurking, you have some patience! My gorilla glue auto was 131 days old, and I was going crazy not taking it down (finally did though, as you know!) I can't wait to see how those plants look at harvest time!

            Funny that you are growing Light of Jah. When my buddy first decided to grow and become a millonaire (spoiler alert, did not happen), that was his very first plant. It was some good smoke too!

            All your stuff is coming along great!

              her final pot is a lined (landscape fabric) milk crate, containing 3 gallons of Coco and 3 Gallons of Perlite
              OMG - I worked with bagged coco (Canna), my previous coco was bricks (same brand) that I had to rehydrate. WOW!! night and day difference between the two products. this was beautiful stuff to mix up and work with.
              (must stop looking around for somewhere to put another pot, must stop looking....)

              Ok, so, she is getting a blend of organic amendments
              she will only get (love), regular watering (pHd water) and amended 1/month (top dressed and watered in)
              (feeding the dirt, not the plant)
              after a couple of grows like this, once I get the hang of it - I am thinking trying molasses

                I went with 3" squares (2.5 inches seemed small)

                Sallisawjim - yes I did! I was going through the email, saw the plant of the week and thought, "that looks really familiar..."

                Turned out it was familiar, because I grew it lol.

                I was honored to see that my plant made it in the newsletter. I guess I'm doing something right lol.

                Maybe my more recent plant will make it a few weeks down the line lol.

                Have a great day sallisawjim!

              So,

              I finally got around to putting up some panda film.
              i have a flower box, mostly finished.
              inside measurements: 5 x almost 4 (must have been medicated, it was supposed to be 4 😁) x 8 (HID about 7.5)

              after all the horrendous treatment they were subjected to, thr girls (LoJ and NL) have been in flower for 17ish days

              the NL got super huge and to make sure I had vertical space, I bound her up tight, her canopy is 2.5 x 5 and handy to 5ish feet tall (well, 3 feet from pot). She is taking 4+ liters of nutes every day.
              My only real regret, is that she is in a 5gallon bucket - she should have a large tote, with a much better access port for me 😁

              Took a good month to get her fully pulled down


              the LoJ is taking 2-3 liters per day, and doing great, she wasnt as huge, so no real binding. She is still a big girl 2 x 3 and is also right around 5 from the ground (3 feet from pot) but manageable compared to her room mate.

              Hello Lurking...I don't think I've ever seen such a large plant growing in a 5 gallon bucket. My EC and pH swing all over the map when my plants get half that big, how in the %$#@ did you pulled that off??

                I did not plan it -LOL - sheer luck and the plant really wanting to live

                They had a mighty long veg. Couple of months under MH. Another couple of months under HID. Some LST, nothing major
                They were growing with Autos, so I ran the lights at 20/4. Once the autos came down slowly stepped the lights down to 12/12 and started tieing her down

                When she popped from seed, she gave me 2 stems and I kept them both. 1 stem was normal (2 leafs/node) the other stem gave me 3 leafs/node (until I bumped the growth tip)
