Farmbuck, your pots look awesome. Talking of winter conditions, how do you guys usually clean your area, all around backyard? Do you use ATVs for that? I'm just curious, because I've been a lot of resources like this here ( weblink: https://mygardenzone.com/best-atv-snow-plow/ ), and they have a lot of pretty nice blades for that cleaning up.

[Farmbuck]

Lolll nope we have snowblower to clean up the snow.

[Farmbuck]

Let the LST begin..!

[SoOrbudgal]

Good holiday day to you Farmbuck have you snapped any branches doing any of these yet? I just was doing one of mine yesterday and dang if one did'nt snap, did'nt break off just snapped. It's so short the branch can't tape it but i propped a stick up like a crutch till it heals. Boy yours look great i'll post my pics every 7 days.

[Farmbuck]

Joyeux NoëL SoOrbudgal, nope not yet I feel they are too little... Some don't even have 3 nodes lolll. I'm just using sticks to gently bend them and having the side branches exposed. I'll wait for a while before I get rough with them loll

You got yourself a beautiful set up Farmbuck! More of a indoor farm than a closet grow.
Hope you feel better. Happy new year!

[Farmbuck]

Thanks @ PLreef and have a Happy New Year !! And stay safe.

After 48hrs the girls are reacting well from their first feed of Ancient Earth. Next week it will be their first Alaskan Fish nutrient but just a half dosage.

[Farmbuck]

Calcium deficiency ?? I would say maybe it is. Right ? PH is good at 6.4, temp at 26.2C, HR at 35%. No nuts so far at week 4 except for a little Ancient Earth from Advanced Nutrients. Maybe they need some nitro sooner ?

[Canuck147]

Probably correct in your diagnosis Farmbuck - looks great so far - I dig your training methods.

[Farmbuck]

Thanks @Canuck147, she is the only one with a calcium deficiency so I will start feeding her some Cal-Mag beginning tomorrow.. Yeah I'm not gonna do much to them as severe LST just the "bamboo stick" technique because the "room" is already cramped with 21 girls and wife's veggies.

Hello my northern friend Farmbuck Happy New Year and a tropical trip in the future to you and wifey we are happy and eating many leftovers at our house hee hee. Sorry but i'm drinking Kentucky whisky this evening no Canadian oh........but i will splash some good ol Canada ginger ale it's the best

Lolll SoOrbudgal you crack me up dear western friend..! Same here Happy New year to you and your family, here it's just weird without the kids in count of the pandemic but thanks to the internet we are in touch.

[Farmbuck]

This morning a little bit of Cal-Mag for the girls. Some have a calcium deficiency not much but enough to be alarm. Next week it will be some Nitrogen nutrient for all of them.

For now they are drinking 225ml each per day.

[Farmbuck]

After 48hrs the girls are reacting well with Cal-Mag, calcium deficiency seems to be under control. This week a feeding of Ancient Earth and a bit of Alaskan fish

[SoOrbudgal]

Hi Farmbuck how far away from top of plant canopy are those lights?

[Farmbuck]

Bonjour SoOrbudgal , I've got 4 lights. 3 of them are 22-24 inches above the girls. The one on the far side of the wall it's just an experiment. It's on for just 6hrs a day at 36 inches above the room. The girls are almost 12 inches.

[Farmbuck]

So far so good... HR holding at 40%+, temp at 26C, girls have minor issues. Nothing to worry about.

[SoOrbudgal]

Morning Farmbuck. i to have 40% this a.m. an 80f. Those 2 autos i got in the red folgers are beginning to show signs of i believe root bound so now i'm watering more to runoff with those and i just gave them their first bloom food today. I think it's a couple of things size of container ( i knew this would be tight ) an they are pushing towards flowering so i gave them a treat. They are not as droopy now. Are you seeing any sweat on leaf?

[Farmbuck]

Afternoon SoOrbudgal. Not easy to maintain a good HR % during winter especially here in northeastern of the country hey ? Well at least I control the temp lolll My Kali girls needs at least 25C (77F) during the veg stage so I'm happy with it. Nope no sweat on them. As you know I water them everyday but I give them just enough like a 5-7 ounces per day. It work for me at least I know if they need more or less. I believe the calcium deficiency is over. Well for now lolll. This week I will begin feeding them with some Alaskan fish nutrient.

[SoOrbudgal]

Well that's good news. I removed several leaf off all do to touching an water on leaf. They will love that stinky fish. Mine is not as stinky as that brand must be the guano poo mixed in it. No smell in my catchment trays LOL my family was having a fit

[Farmbuck]

Just a Wednesday morning feed. Looks like the calcium deficiency is under control... 6 more weeks in veg. Oh yeah a pic of wife basil.

Don't worry I drop some water on my meter, the reason why it shows 71%.
