Looking good !! That tent's going to be full.

Everything looks great! 2 autos and 1 photo? I know what I would do with them if they were mine.

 

[Colombo]

I am all EARS LOL, this is how you learn from those with real experience!

 

[Colombo]

Thank you ! Second grow in the tent, Learned a lot from the first grow! Training is the key to whatever you grow in !

 

[Canuck147]

Cuz of your tent height - either top and train - or start bending over - you can't have a 4 footer.

 

[Eliot Pryor]

Acapulco Gold is one of my personal favorites. It makes lots of tight dense buds. Photo-periods do anyway. Interested to see if they are auto's how they do. Good Growing !!

 

[Colombo]

I agree, I learned this from my first grow! They grew into the lights! LST and toping are my interest right now based on research. Thanks, I appreciate your feedback!!

 

[Mr.furley]

Soooooooo, those don't look like lemon cucumbers😆
a.k.a. I'm studded in.

 

[LurkingInTheGrass]

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

too true LOL

 

[Colombo]

The Gold is just feminised and it is an old time favorite from my teens (60's/70's) and kicked in some "good memories" when I saw them! Looking forward to more LOL!

 

[Colombo]

My first grow grew into the lights and after that I researched training to size and found a lot on this forum and elsewere in training. I hope to fill the tent with "BUD'S" this time and not bushes ! LOL

 

[Colombo]

LMAO Mr.furley ! I still plan to pick up those lemon cucumber seeds! I am Hoping the buds will look like cucumbers at harvest. LOL!

First time LST attempt to open canopy and position bud sites ! Seams to be an easy process, only time will tell !

 

[Colombo]

I Apologize for not updating as I am attending to family in FLA. My care taker advised me that things are good and the plants are happy. Won't see them till Wed Night, getting anxiety separation !!! Nerve racking!!

Hello All ! Just an update on my grow. Just returned today from being away for 5 days. I found the girls in a slight stress do to watering need (end of week). SOOOOOO, Not sure if it was right thing to do, I decided to trim some leaves to allow light in and continue LST for bud placement while they were slightly stressed so it happened all at the same time. 2 autos, gorilla glue & White cheez. The Acapulco Gold Photo I did a bend over as advised by Canuck147 to control hight. The girls were watered/fed and started to take up real quick. Temps 73* humidity 34% They were Fed, Alaska Fish emulsion, Cal-Mag, Grandmas Sulfur free molasses as per directions. Watered all 3 with 2 gal's of water/feed mix until runoff, less than 1/4 gal. Ph 6.4 after mix. Attached are Wed. 2/7 evening photos. All feed back is appreciated !! Hope it's not a photo overload ! The grow is at 5 weeks.

Checked the girls today and they are Happy ! Trimming does not appear to have had any effect on the recovery. I trimed some fan leaves from Acapulco Gold and adjusted some more bud sites to open her up. Attached are todays adjustments and a group. White cheez is looking real nice and the Glue is building up more sites.

 

[Mr.furley]

All your plants have a nice color of green.🖒

 

[Colombo]

Thanks Mr.furley, I appreciate that !! I have never done the things I am learning from here, especially trimming. If you see anything I can improve or add please let me know. While I have you, the plants are at 5 weeks and wondered if I could go to 7weeks before I go 12/12 to give the Acapulco Gold (Photo) an extra week. Is my trimming in the right direction? Thanks for your time!
