Ok, finally getting around to posting some new pics. But first, some catch up..

A week ago I did 1 final "super prune", as I like to call it (exception being cuttings that I plan to clip around Tuesday). Basically I was just being very aggressive and clipped nearly all fan leaves except those surrounding "tops", around every 10 days. No more of that from here out, gotta get mass bushy to prepare for flowering.

So anyways, just after pruning I watered and fed my girls about a week ago with chemically ph'd water, Cal-Mag+, and superthrive. And... something went horribly wrong...

Well, not "something" because I know now what it was. Instead of using organic methods to pH the water, I went straight to chemical pH down. Dropped it from 8.2 to 6.1. From a couple of recent threads and various grow sites/blogs, I'm pretty certain the chem. pH down is to blame as it apparently shouldn't be used in any non-hydro growing method.

Anyhow, I had some leaves start turning colors (some were showing signs of cal deficiency others showing signs very similar to potassium deficiency, maybe some mag as well). Nevertheless, I didn't flush right away, these girls are strong, I knew they could ride it out until next watering. Despite the discoloration, the plants certainly wasted no time bushin' up!

So then, on Wednesday evening I watered my girls again, but I treated them all to purified distilled water this time. No cal-mag+, no thrive, no pH uppers or downers (neither chemical nor organic), but I did give a LOT OF VERBAL LOVE to the girls. :)

Well they have responded brilliantly, although the damage that was done to some leaves won't ever be normal again, most of the leaves ARE coming back into correct color.

DEC. 8 - (cut, water + feed):


DEC. 12 - (second day after most recent watering):


Some OG Dutch Treat #5 I b smokin' on righ'cheer - seriously the STICKIEST shit I've ever smoked, the pictures don't even show half the real story here:



I'd flip today if I could ... gotta wait until after the 23rd though, besides I don't have my remodel the grow "hut" completed yet. All I know is I can't wait to c my babies grow up and start budding flowers!

Cheers all. Hope everyone is doing great!

Lol. I'm slacking fukkin bad huh guys? You will like the video when I upload it, but it's fucking LONG. Too long to upload to YT from my gah damn phone. Well too big I should say. And I just haven't got around to putting the video on my laptop yet.

BUT, that said I took new pictures last night right after watering my very neglected ladies (they got pretty dried out, needed a drink for sure).

In the pics you can see the new grow hut, lights, venting, etc. The scrog netting i set up that you will see in the pictures is too large (the hole size) so before you say anything... I already know ;-)







Oh, also check out my new bong Dumbo :) Dumbo's AWWWEEESOME!! :bongsmile:

I'll just end up getting different material for my scrog. I was looking for plastic "construction" fencing but could find anywhere. Might have to settle for chicken wire and enlarge the holes on own
