Update photos.

Its crazy dark outside my house and in the shed, every time I open the tent and stick my head in, the fantastic yellow glow of the HPS and the jungle of plants make me feel like I'm ganna fall through and end up in Narnia or something haha.

I'm going to supercrop the 6 tops in the back left tomorrow night. They need a little discipline.

Outdoor plant. Topped like 8 of them again. Ganna do some LST. Local store was out of tomato rings so ill have to come up with something else.

Defoliation, trying to thin the jungle.

And here is a decent pic of one of the manifolds.

My plant had a few babies. Well a ton honestly, a few already rooted, and I have no idea what im going tondo with them since I have zero room.

 

[MrMotion]

Pretty pretty. Modified my program to drop the temp closer to 75-80 ish degrees. At the highest. Waiting on funds for a large dehumidifier.

Gorgeous! Thanks for the updates, enjoy seeing your photos as I am about 3 weeks behind you on the grow.

Thanks! I should have switched them like 2 weeks sooner honestly, they are still stretching and getting dangerously close to my light. Fortunately I havent seen any signs of light burn yet.

So this evening I did my 3 week defoliation. The other week I super cropped one of my ridiculously tall colas on my largest plant. It was painful to do it. However, its still alive and the buds are the same size and just as healthy as the rest of the plant. So I did it to 3 more (they were 2 inches from the light). Was a bit more gentle this time too. Im really hoping the stretch is about over.

No leaf discoloration or nutrient issues yet, still working on getting a large dehumidifier to get the humidity down to a comfortable level, ranges anywhere from 55% to 88%, weve had a lot of rain lately. I need to tinker with the program and the fans to figuee out the best set up.

Having issues removing the plants from the tent because of how tall they are, so im working on a solution to removed the excess water after watering (my current dilemma) so I dont have to take the plants out.

Otherwise. Pics!

Get a small shopvac to suck up excess water.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Yes or just wrap a big old towel around each base and remove when done draining. But investing in a shop vac is good also.

 

[MrMotion]

Have a hand water pump, used the towel (told my wife I needed a towel to sacrifice) for the excess, works good. Saves a ton of time not moving the plants!

 

[MrMotion]

I believe the stretch is over, closest top is about 3.5 inches from the glass bottom of the light.

Starting to thicken up.

 

[MrMotion]

Update: Day 34 of flower. Few issues, got a handful of leaves and very tips of 3 colas that are bleaching from light intensity. Already looked into solutions, and besides straight cutting the tops, not much I think ill be able to do. I waited too long to flip.

Two of the plants have leaves that are begining to pale, could also be light related.

Otherwise, they are doing good! Gathering materials for my upgrade for the next grow!

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Your trichomes are going to cook out if they bleach white.

 

[MrMotion]

Ladies are starting to get heavy.

Picked up a couple Mara Hydro LED quantum boards to help with the next grow.

Also I turnes the light down to 400w, some leaves were getting serious light burn. Light won't go any higher and its too late to do any serious super cropping.

 

[MrMotion]

Finally got a large dehumidifier, humidity levels were much higher than they should have been for flower. Ive had it plugged in for 15 minutes and already seen a DRASTIC decrease haha.

I had really good air circulation, no mold or rot, but it was still worrying. This is piece of mind.

 

[MrMotion]

Had to take a trip (wedding), came back and figured I'd update. They are getting thick! Had some bumps in the road but nothing crazy, mostly a waiting game at this point.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Oh boy those are looking like they are going to be a sticky harvest great job.

Hey MrMotion just wanted to tell ya we went for a drive for a few hrs yesterday needed to get out so drove south and up the mountains to a little town called Days Creek nothing hardly there anymore used to be a booming logging little town like the rest around here. Nope still only 1 wine vineyard but man the Hemp is growing in fields like crazy. Some are very well established since they allowed it but newer growers are still struggling to gain a foot in the business. Takes lots of money to begin with and alot more work than they thought, hell it's farming.
