alltatup If you remember my post from quiet a ways back on "Holy fucking cola" that was the first plant I had with the funny colored leaves. So no I did not see it slow down at all.

 

[alltatup]

Redwasp You are asking an old stoner to remember a post from "quite a ways back"?? No way, man; I do not remember those leaves, if you wanna post a link....

 

[Redwasp]

alltatup Sorry about that. I doubt anyone remembers. I thought I had more pictures of the plant in that post "Holy ------- Cola. But here is the one I could find. It does not show the leaves very well. Sorry. But you can see it did not stunt its growth.

 

[alltatup]

Jesse H. James!!! That's a cola.

 

[LurkingInTheGrass]

...or a really small hand 😁

Just hope that I can grow one like that, eventually

That reminds me of the Mickeys 64oz. that came out early 90s.

 

[alltatup]

Californiakid What was that, a half-gallon beer they sold????? That's a lotta beer...

 

[Chefbjy]

They used to have a beer called crazy horse in the 90s that came in a 64oz jug. That's what I thought about Californiakid 😉

 

[Californiakid]

Yep I remember crazy horse as well. 👍 Old English #8 also had a 64. Seems like to sell malt liquor in the 90s you needed a jug.🤣

Yeah 64oz is a couple more ounces than a typical picher. Lol

alltatup. No no slower growth, funnily I must have two seeds from same mother as two of em have it, and it’s more likely they are from same mother rather than same phenome.

 

[alltatup]

Installed the T-5s today. This is the beginning of week 5 12/12, which is like week 4.5 flower. So we're peaking on nutes this week, and will slowly start lowering the dose.

 

[NAKEDGARDENER]

Underside lighting huh. Never thought of that.

 

[alltatup]

Yeah, I like it: it goes in after week three of flower.

 

[NAKEDGARDENER]

Sweet. Might look into that myself. Nearly tried sidelighting until I learned it was pointless.

 

[Chefbjy]

As I stated earlier could very well be ph fluctuation. If you went from one water source to another which I saw you said in another post NAKEDGARDENER. And if you're using gh ph up and down I've seem some crazy things happen with that stuff in good soil with good buffers. Just a thought ✌.

 

[NAKEDGARDENER]

Chefbjy no I don’t use the gl ph up/ down, just bicarbonate since it generally needs lifting rather than making it acidic but from time to time I did use small amounts of white distilled vinegar to lower ph. The bottled spring water that the plants only got most of their veg stage has a ph of 6.90. and I had never ph tested it during the first few weeks, then I switched to my well water which is tapped and that ph is just under 6.5. I tend to agree and suspect it is a ph fluctuation or since I know the seeds are from the same plant then it could be that they share this due to their genetics. So far though I haven’t noticed anything wrong with growth etc.

 

[9fingerleafs]

yeah im skeptic too, i think if the underside of the leave could process light the same as the top the leaves wouldn't turn and twist to "face" the light. but ive never tried it either so i dont really know

Weekend update: Starting week 6 12/12

I flushed the girls for two days when I saw a tiny bit of nute burn on some tips. We are coasting downhill now, and I've begun lowering nutes. Buds are growing and filling in the internode spaces. Triches are smelling awesome; got the humidity set at 45-40%.

And here's the small grow box which is like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin under... Everyone got way too tall for this stupid little box. The Blue OG in front is supposed to grow like an Indica. My foot, I had to supercrop it all over the place.

 

[Redwasp]

Very nice looking plants.

 

[alltatup]

Thanks, Redwasp tryna keep up with you!!!
