Locrian99s 2nd grow

[Locrian99]

Started doing a little supercropping in the big tent, just a few tips that were stretching above the rest into some canopy openings. Only on GSC1 and WW1 for now, couple candidates on WW2 but my alarm clock (17 month old) starting going off (waking up) so I’ll have to look at those tonight after lights on. They seemed to respond well to the 3/4 strength nutes so far no signs of tip burn etc about 60 hours after so if I don’t see any changes next feeding I may just do full strength. Couple pics.

Looks like you'll have a nice full tent, no light wasted

 

[Campesino]

There's no way to hit "snooze" on that alarm clock!
Looking good! Isn't supercropping fun?

 

[Locrian99]

Alright so I just have to share this. The pedal steel player has dreadlocks. Only in Portland.

 

[Chefbjy]

Not too far from me...we had Joe Dirt here lol.

 

[Locrian99]

He’s actually really good. Country isn’t my thing but wife digs it.

Cheers to Keeping Portland Weird !

Locrian99 if you ever have a chance to see the Darren Bessett band go hes a buddy of mine that just signed a record contract so he should be on tour soon

Also nothing wrong with dreadlocks when I was in my coma while coming out of it I talked to Jesus and he was a Jamaican with dread locks I know right

 

[Locrian99]

Oh I’ve got no problems with dreads. I try to go to at least 1 reggae show a year and anytime steel pulse comes to town. Just thought it was a funny mix, not an instrument I’d expect to see a guy with dreads down to his waist playing. I’ll kerp an eye out for your buddy I love going to small venue shows of up and comers. Never know what your in for and if they hit it big you get to be the guy saying I saw me back when... lol

Curious if adding silica with every nite feeding makes this super cropping more stressful on the plant and harder to get to give. My stalks are pretty solid and get woody pretty quick. On my AI’s I feel like I’m seeing so discoloration almost a browning at the bend. I don’t see a split in the stem though, thinking I’ll stick with just LST for the remainder.

 

[Campesino]

Browning and discoloration are normal - along with an increase in vigor - just sayin

 

[Locrian99]

Ok I just don’t remember seeing that in any pics. I have a couple that don’t seem to have turned up towards the light as well too.

 

[Campesino]

Yeah, they can look pretty gnarly and discolored, but mine always turn up toward the light (at least through the stretch).
I have been debating silica as I now feel the skywalkers might have benefited had I used it, your comment has given me more to think about. It may make doing the cropping harder, but shouldn't affect recovery (I wouldn't think).

 

[Locrian99]

They actually seem like the turned just had some canopy cover them. I got them above it now. I turned everything so much I got leaves shooting everywhere. Tomorrow is day 14 I might do a light defoliation before the big week 3 one. They could use it, and the humidity is getting higher in there.

I remember seeing Aerosmith in a night club before they hit it big good memory

 

[Locrian99]

Today was day 14 of 12/12, well last night was. So I figure an update is in order. Everything’s looking pretty good. Humidity I think may become an issue. PAC NW spring, it’s going to be wet. Currently sitting 60% humidity in there with the lights on. I was hoping to do a little defoliating last night but got stuck late at work. Tonight or tomorrow night, might help a bit with humidity. They seemed to have stopped stretching, I think they stretched about 5-7 inches total. And currently are about 20 inches tall. They are filling out the tent nicely. Also tossing in a pic of the big tent at day 11 of 12/12. GSC in front WW in back.

 

[UrbZ]

Looking good in there, nice training. I feel you on the spring humidity. It's kicking in here heavy too.

 

[Chefbjy]

Yeah pac nw here too have to keep my tent unzipped. 51% in the house 68% outside...but keeping it unzipped a bit it's sitting at 47% I didn't worry about all that stuff my first grow and it turned out great. But I want this grow to turn out better so rh and temp have been a constant concern now lol.

 

[Locrian99]

My tents are in the basement too which doesn’t help

 

[Chefbjy]

For sure. Temps must be good though huh? My space heater takes out some of the humidity. And I have a pellet stove on the other side of the house still cool enough to keep them going. I'm sure when it gets warmer your basement will stay cooler then my old ass doublewide. I know some of the good dehumidifiers aren't cheap.
