Hit the dgth with some T today training, twisting, tucking,
and tying 😉. Also took off some lower growth tips and left the fans. Gnats got to a couple plants but damage is superficial. Moving stuff out of my shop today to make room for a new grow area for the gc or whatever they are. I'm really only happy with one of these plants, and will post pics in some good light so you can all really see wtf I'm dealing with lol. I'm running lights out my arse for minimal return so not very happy. Maybe I'll start some more photos. Use the auto tent to veg and try to fill in any gaps now that I'm down 3 plants in my challenge tent. We'll see once I get out set up. Off to work on the misfits' grow area now. ðŸ»

Looking good! So you don't think your gc is right? What's your thought? Maybe seeds gotmixed up, or maybe a different breeders gc? I know something's up with the dgth seeds i got! Out of six only two made it an one of them fell over an died? Weirdest thing! But seedsmans made it right an I'm going to grow out the one that made it.. took a while but it's finally starting to grow normalish...

Trichomefarmer88 I got auto seeds somehow. I'm nut sure how, it was my very first purchase from them. I'm not sure what they are but they were in a bag with the expert seeds logo/label gorilla cookies. There's no auto gc so I'm stumped. Glad to hear they took care of you. I'm about to order a few seeds and get their black sugar strain and cbd cream and cheese strain. 😉
The dgth were kinda slow to get going but have made me a little happier about flip date. I can't say when these whatever auto flowers are going to finish. And I honestly have to say that one out of 3 are going to be worth anything, but guess I could still do a dark period and extended dark period when I decide to harvest to compare results. ✌

Chef compared to my autos that were mistreated at first how do your GC maybe autos compare? Mine were dropped the 7th. And they have started taking off. Still wont be my best grow but definitely worth growing. I'm not expecting much but they are really surprising me with there eager attitude.

Redwasp here they are at lights out. I smoked some of my Skywalker and slept for 4 hours 😆. Didn't get a chance to move them or set up the tent. After I cleaned out the shop I needed a joint break and should have went with my gg#4 instead rofl. The 2 will be almost worthless (make them into oil/hash.) One looks almost like your girls and I feel I should be running a couple more hours of light. Even if I keep them on 18/6 the dgth would end up shading them out before they get finished. They need their own little space.
Started germinating 2 mamma mia seeds will be hoping for all my clones to root and make a side grow comparison I figure I have 5-7 days left before they should actually be rooted (2weeks) and 3-5 days of germination for seeds. I have one gg#4 clone from my shop and 3 dgth. One dgth clone is a top off of the healthiest most vigorous plant and 2 are from the slow grower. My gg#4s have been healthy and free from diseases and deficiencies and very vigorous plants. I'll probably start another journal to share my experience of vigorous clones vs. the vigor of seeds 😉.

Clear cup method for cloning 😉. I definitely think they're taking using some recycled soil from my autos. I ran out of pellets and forgot to get more yesterday so mamma mia seeds are in roots organics original after showing tap roots this morning. I'll be setting up another seedling area shortly for the dgth clones.
Gnats were a bigger issue then I thought after inspecting my hood and seeing more leaf damage. Maybe they're getting in through the active intake...going to put a piece of filter on the end. I have to redo my window. Take out the ac unit since its getting cold and make another window board for intake and outtake. Dgth girls are shooting right up after daily training. I'm not going to lollipop but I will take off some growth tips as I go. Bottom nodes have caught up to upper canopy and the fim one has some crazy growth on top. Will get pics of them up before flip day 😉..
Giving up on what to do with my not gcs until I get my guy over here to wire up the helios. My meter was spinning like a top when I hooked up the extra light in the tent in the shop. Trying to get him over asap but he's gone on a mini vacation and won't be back till after the weekend. Excited to get a new veg/auto room up 😉. I have found a way to avoid light contamination but will have to do my work (water) and what not on my gg#4s light schedule..looking into air injection oldjarhead100. That will be a great addition to my plans in my shop. I've been thinking about the benefits a lot.
Hope you all have a great weekend I'm going to be hammered at work with a car show for child burn victims charity through the local fire department. And I'm going to have to work my ass off today and tomorrow. I haven't had a weekend off in almost a year 😥. But the boss knows he can count on me and nobody else can handle it when 💩 gets crazy. He knows he can leave and it won't turn into a 💩 show lmao. Happy growing all.

Maybe you should remind your boss that being the competent person is worth more than the current paycheck and a pat on the back 😉😉

He's super cool. The only boss I've had that just throws me a Ben Franklin everytime I pull rabbits out of my hat 😆. He knows what I want but is unable to give it to me without losing an employee. Been hard to get people on board that are competent lmao. I already walked out and he had to call me back after he realized the mistake of letting me go.

We have that same problem in construction. What's worse is that in the union you are paid the same whether you are good at your job or not. They just don't keep their jobs long is all....they just go fuck up someone else's program with their stupidity Haha

Full disclosure... Stopped daily foliar, down to twice a week with kelplex, epson salt, liquid bone meal and well water.
Teas and solutions. Casting tea with neem kelp and molasses. Kelp oyster shell humic acids castings and oregonismsxl. Neem meal kelp meal epsom salt rock phosphate castings 1tbl used coffee grounds RO uprising formula.
Kelplex solution with epson salt. Kelplex solution. Kelplex solution with Oregonismxl. Oregonismxl solution.
Top dressed de, roots organics uprising and bti. Oregonismxl incorporated into soil. Top dressed rock phosphate, fish bone meal, kelp meal, epson salt, and langbeinite. Plain water three or four times. Minimal run off in final pots twice but only once with plain water.
Temps running at 68f low 83f high. Rh between 32-40% lights on and 58% lights off. No ph or ec testing diluting solutions and teas by 50%. Lighting 18/6 mh for 4weeks then switched to hps. Lst, minor defoliating, no lollipopping, topped and fim, bonding, and removing lower growth tips to promote upper growth.
Cloned 2 dgth successfully. And may take other clones if I feel I can get away with it when and after flip date.
Auto not gc are pulling out of a slump, still only one looks like it will be worthy of a challenge. Going to get them on another light schedule before flip date. Going to run them 20/4 with some clones and seedlings in the mix. Hoping to get some photos up to par to flip with the dgth, but no guarantees.
Pics of dgth at lights out so they look a little droopy 😉. Happy growing all and ✌ 💘 and mj grease!!

Looks good bro !
👠good job with the clones. I'm almost ready. I have a big training session coming up. I'll likely pick out my cuttings to clone then. They aren't quite long enough yet.

The clones took off from the bottom branches of the dgth that I fimed. Instead of wasting those 6inch branches I decided to try. They took really well, the top is still not quite rooted so hopefully I'll have 3 soon. Wish I could have gotten the right seeds to do the gc as well.

RosettaStoned I know it makes me feel less sensitive about it. Makes me realize we have to play the cards we're dealt or just fold. And I sir will never give up on a mj plant unless it's a male lmao.

New camera app still toying with it. I'm going to try editing or getting the settings down right. But it's much better then standard hps view and a little better then the sunglasses I use.
Took a few fans off and I have more potential clones to take from lower nodes. May as well get my money's worth from these $20 seeds 😆. Going to have to make a little investment but equipment will be easier with my new supplier.
Had to raise the light a bit the dgth seem a little sensitive to 14". Moving the not gc photos out in the next 24 hours and will have them set up in their own 4x4 tent with a 1000w hps. Not sure on what kind of bulb it is as it looks different from mine, but they're both hortilux.
Would love to get another few weeks to scrog these babies but I'm ready for Saturday. Topped dressed my special flower mix which can use some adjusting but happy how it's working on my girls in the shop.
Working on modifying my organics a little. It seems I get a titch of tip burn right as they transition. So I'm leaning towards compaction effecting ec in my soil Campesino. This time in my shop I used my soil mix to top dress about 2 inches of soil in a 15 gallon fabric pot. Plus I used a piece of cherry wood to poke holes in the soil and added mycorrhizae then inserted stakes in the soil after all said and done they aren't showing the same signs of tip burn. Granted it could be strain related but I think I'm going to add worms to help keep things loose. The added oxygen seems to help 😉. Ready for some flower power 🻠✌.
