I'm glad to see you're still having a good season. Those are going to be beast by the end of the month.
I still have one Holy Grail that just is not as strong but I've done everything I can do to it at this point.

That's funny. My Holy Grail is my problem plant too. That's why I haven't posted pics of it all season. She tried to flower early but seemed like she would pull through so I kept her. She was vegging good for a while in peak summer but now she is yellowing early. She's just been funky from the beginning. Not a huge yielder indoors either. Good quality though which is why I kept her.

The first picture is the one I've been battling with and the second picture is of the other one that's been fine. They are monsters 10 feet plus, and there smell is a heavy thick skunk. Both are flowering but the healthy one is producing some nice flowers I haven't posted any because there nothing special yet but they are well on there way. I'm making some feminized seeds from the strong one, but it's been slow to respond to to the silver.

Thanks. I like to train them wide and short. The only ones I don't train are the late starts. I just let them grow straight up and fill in the spots the big plants didn't take up.

Those pics you posted of the trouble plant make most people's best plants look bad lol.
Lol thank you, your not the first person to tell me that I'm very picky. This was my first year doing all organics, or really really close to being all organic. That's why are started following your thread because I had seen some of your pics and new you where organic, always learning you know. I never used anything that would kill off any bacteria in the ground. If things stay on track I'll will have grown some of my largest colas this year. The pheno I Have of the MOB will produce some very big purple colas, I will post pictures of everything as there coming along.

3 lbs rock phosphate
4 lbs bone meal
4 cups neam meal
2 cups feather meal

and a few shovels of yard soil to add native soil life, and a bag of manure to top things off.

Or for smaller batches

Thanks! I've been working on this soil recipe for several years now. Every year I tweak it just a little. My big goal now is to move to all sustainable products. Kelp, alfalfa, rock dust etc are all very sustainable. Things like Guano and perlite are less Eco friendly. The fossilized guano has to be mined out of old caves and will eventually run out at the rate we're using it. And who knows how we are destroying nature and those caves. I want to go beyond organic. Also no factory farmed products like the bone meal either. I'm moving to things like barley, clover, comfrey, alfalfa that I can grow at home. My own castings and compost. And just a few natural products from the store.

So this is a neet little thing that you can add up to 16 sensors to. Now you know before someone rips you off. This gives me plenty of time to grab the shotgun, or to sneak out the back door and give them my own little surprise. You can find these on Amazon. I have 4 sensors with mine.

Wind and cats can set them off too. I would be a basket case.

My neighbor put in lights with those sensors and my bedroom would light up every 15 minutes all night long!
These are adjusted at a height where cats and small animals don't set them off, but not everyone has the same type of space I have. I also run a camera, and a separate alarm thats in my 7 foot tall enclosure that's 145 db. I've never had any problems it's more for my own piece of mind. Plus I have a couple of dogs and 4 flood lights. Lol so I guess if someone gets it they have put in some serious time and effort.
