Started Soaking the seeds this morning, looks like fishing (Except for inshore) is out for the year so might as well start the growing season. [TABLE="width: 195"]

Sorry about the fish report what else we going to do with our time

 

[RagWeedDWC]

They announced they will be opening Costa Rica next month, that is a good thing. Will have to wait until January to start the season, so might as well grow. Oh I can think of a few things to do in our time, just can not talk the bride into it

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Well we are chomping to get a nice road trip/camp trip in before winter at least for several days. I'm trapped by the garden at this time, too complicated for my neighbor LOL and i just love being here this time of year. Yes we are doing projects around the home but need to escape into the wild, our happy place.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

The bride did the best should could while I was away, we are going to grow them anyway....Per recomendations we are going to let these autos grow naturally with little trimming and bending as possible.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

I think we are over the hump and on the road to recovery.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

WOW amazing what a couple days will do. Those look twice as big to me now. It's crappy commercial fishing at the coast also, new regulations and weather issues. I guess Japan and China get the open waters without the regulations we must follow. All our old commercial friends ( some not around anymore got fed up with the BS ) are losing alot of income.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

I do not fish for a living but fish with those that do. Between climate change and regulations that seems to only apply to American commercial fishermen 2020 has been a suck year. Should of been on the Mayan calendar...

 

[RagWeedDWC]

SoOrbudgal Easy mistake, added chemicals to the auto top off tank but never turned pumps on. One took in harder then than the other, but did survive in the original seed start nutrients, I had the spittter going so even with the water going down the plant was still being "Fed". . Once I fed them correctly they jumped right back into the game.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Time to step up to my flowering feed, earlier than I thought it would be.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

12 Days later looks like a full recover for one and a still trying on the other. Plant on the left is flowering, pain in the you know what mixing two sets of nutes, but worth it.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Root rot, what a difference between the two plants. Root rot some how, currently treating it with Hydroguard.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Returned to a empty backup reservoir after 8 days away (Fishing), tanks were only about a quarter down. The were completely alone.

Root seems to have been arrest, taller plant is trying to grow its roots out of the container (Well not really, but close). Over all they looked pretty good.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Root rotted plant is passing the once healthier plant, hard to believe both seeds came out of same bag.
Roots look good, have a bit of a ph problem going on but marching along.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Little bud porn

 

[RagWeedDWC]

I do not think that autos growing naturally is how I will grow in the future, not at all happy with out its turning out. Next grow I will do something similar to @BU2B 's grow. and revert to my method that resulted in "Tumble Weeds"

 

[SoOrbudgal]

That dang Mango photo she is a mangled grow left to grow untrained outdoors if you want wild that and the Thai was no fun to trim LOL

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Longest I have had to leave the grow, wife would raise the lights. Amazing that these two plants came from the same bag of seeds. Looks like we are close on one, not sure on the other. Will be here for the rest of the year and into the spring so want to try training autos.

Lime's yellowed up due to the cold weather, but we harvest a ton of them this year. They were huge.

Porn shot series.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Some close ups. Getting close for one of the girls, need some ambers to show up
