thanks. If all I must do is add some nutrients and trim, that would be a relief. Wifey can keep that up too. Otherwise, they look really good. they only had around 1 1/2 hours from being really wilted from drying out. I expect today they will be even fuller. watering today, so i will add dilute solution including a little of the molasses, the biothrive bloom, and the Neptune organic seafood, since from what i have been told locally, they will feed the soil bacteria. wish they had grown more, but maybe they still will? 72F at night and 76 in the day is where the temps have balanced, and I am thinking of turning off the nighttime heater, which should let it go to 69F at night. from what I have read, the bigger differential enhances stretch (which I was trying to minimize- which apparently quite effective ). Boy = for an engineer, i have become a wordy regaler. sorry.

Morning Bootsy, very nice plants, a little wilting ain't never hurt none of mine, I think it does em some good when the soil dries out, as long as you don't wait to long .

What DAAS said, it's okay. You don't necessarily need to add nitrogen. I would do it only if you've been defoliating heavily, and think you might run out of leaves before you finish. Not really your case. And occasionally letting your soil dry out enough for a little wilt is a good thing.
This is a late posting, but I have been busy with job and relocation. this posting is basically from the morning of the 28th Jan. they were fed last night, with 1/3 dosage of Neptune Liquid Seaweed. i also added a cup or two of worm castings as well as a quarter cup of bat guano mixed into the surface of each pot. the shots are just after trimming. They haven't done the flowering stretch, so I am assuming that the day/night temperature inversion worked in controlling stretch , maybe too much. I thought i had disengaged the night time heater, but when I checked the night before, it was still on. night temp at 75.6, where day was only 74. Correct me, but the lack of height will limit production, eh. Darn. Comments please, even thought it's too late for this session , i am learning for next. Photos are: 1st two White Rhino, next three are Blueberry, followed by two of Cinderella 99, and final three of Critical Widow. When the tent is open for awhile, or the plants are taken out, the whole house smells. It is nice, but very noticeable.

another few days have gone by. nothing but water so far as my assistant has been busy. Photos are from last night. still dont seem like theyre growing any more. My wife had more nerve than me in trimming, which becomes more evident with these photos. they will be fed at next watering again. I will be home at the end of this month, likely somewhere around when they will be ready for harvest. With the space apparently okay, wondering if I should turn the light up to full 600W power? wish I was around. it was fun to see in person, and now I'm back to looking at photos.

Hey Bootsy, your plants look nice, your wife is great help, but as long as you got it high enough so it want burn them, yes turn on the 600, that will be just right.

Well maybe she can send you some. Sounds to me like it’s a good thing!
Well, I don't have too much to report on the grow except to say my wife has been very dilligent and accomodating, and they are all still going okay. now to post the latest photos from this afternoon. they are just a couple of days short of 6 weeks into the 12:12 lighting. the literature on these strains say anywhere from 67 to 10 weeks, depending on the strain, and there are 4 different plants. I wont be home for 2 weeks, so it will possibly be that harvest will be ascertained and completed by my wife and a keen but inexperienced friend. I have been checking as much as i can from daily HPS tinted photos so this was a treat for me. I really don't know what I'm looking for anyway, but these with the light out today seem okay. I do think I stunted them a little with the timer mix-up, but oh well. They were fed yesterday for first time in a week, with 1/3 dose of the Organics Bio Bloom stuff, 1/2 dose of the liquid seaweed, and 1 tbsp molasses in 3 gallons water. I think the pots are 12 inches in diameter , for size reference. From what I have read, it looks like one of them has maybe 25% pistils turning brown, but i hope for more experienced opinions. Do they look okay? any suggestions how often would we feed this stuff with the living soil? Bat guano and worm castings were mixed in as a top dressing a couple of weeks ago.

Hi. more photos. And I noticed the previous ones were so small that couldn't zoom much. These are a little better. The first two are of White Rhino, but I forget the rest. our questions from now on will be - 1. are we close to harvest, knowing there are 4 different strains? and 2. is there anything wrong that has to be addressed? I see yellow leaves, but most look like they should be removed anyway. thanks for looking. this is fun, even remotely. Ideally there will be harvest required in a couple of weekends for most or all of them so I can do it.
