LST in real time

Looking good Giz

I don't see any problems there. You could probably give a tad more light through to the finish which is still a way off.

Day 73 - I guess this is as tall as it gets. 11.5 inches. Including trivet, 5 gal bag, 18" to the light and add on the light thickness then the total stack height is 44 inches... Although I have more space I think this grow would have worked on a 2x2x4' tent. Most of the pistals are golden but the trichomes are still many clear with none brown that I can see. There are a few white pistals at various heights so I don't think it's fox-tailing too much. (Please tell me if I'm wrong!) For me this is first grow where I've have green or greenish leaves at the end though there's still some time to go so good job Gizmo!

Day 68 - trichomes starting to get cloudy.

those colas look healthy, cal def always toward the end. shes nice

9 weeks - some plants are done in 9 weeks but this one is supposed to go 12-14. That would be great as she has 7 inch colas but they aren't thick yet. Introducing Canna-Cam. Image is horrible but it's a real time video feed. When you're stoned it's kind of fun to watch your marijuana grow when you're stoned.

She's getting wet and gushy so the humidifier is off and the fans are turned up a notch.
This is a good looking start.

Rusty looks great. There comes a point it seems that plants can live off of the sugar leaves so I don't worry about fan leaves so much.

[Bluey]

I just posted 'old rusty in time to show your grow..check out those leaves but she is still going strong.. has the biggest buds of the 4 plants I have this grow and is winning the frost race...probably will be first to harvest..who would have guessed

[90Gizmo]

Seriously, this looks so much like the best color I've ever had this far in. The only reason I'm not in a panic is that it's always been so much worse... I think I can prune some of those upper fan leaves because usually they are dead by now!

[Bluey]

Here we go....I did the same, upped to 6.3pH.but was slow to get cal mag into it and now I have a plant with so much rust I'm going to recycle it at the scrap metal yard.

Day 54 - She has a fairly flat canopy from the LST. Still pushing branches away from center to let the light in. Trying to end what looks like a calcium deficiency.

[Bluey]

Sounds like it might work well but electricity combined with water I stay well away from. I'll just clean out the tank and pump every 4 or 5 weeks with a bit of bleach and pump it to waste with a decent flush. I suspect a decent UVC light would kill most things with just a small exposure...Inc me...lol.

[90Gizmo]

How about a UV sanitizing light in the nute tank? I get algee in my filter cartridges... don't really know how to stop it.

[Bluey]

I almost lost them these past two weeks with something that was growing in my nute tank. Destroyed the pH stability and it got well away from me..7.11pH in coco before I could fix it...I have no doubt I won't stop learning new things. Love this hobby

IIRC I started with three nodes and the bottom two sets of branches are now the smallest ones. They were the largest ones when I started with five nodes. Perhaps I was too rough with them when they were too young. Every grow so far I've had problems starting when I transition to bloom nutes. Last grow seemed to help when I added a little grow nutes back in. I'm planning to keep 1/4 grow and work up tp 1/2 bloom at the end. Or at least until I see some reaction to tell me it doesn't like that.
