Its just one gal atm, two turned out male butone was so resinous and skunky that I just put it on my back porch to get pollen from it. The one lady is mainlined and lstd so I got a 8top canopy but my lighting is only 4 23w and one 46w CFL. I have an obsessive amount of pictures cause its so exciting watching the plants development for the first time, especially when true "vegetative" growth kicks in, mine didn't stretch much though, hopefully due to an indica dominance. However my phone is obsolete and I can't upload to this site. I posted at the beginning of my grow for someone to post pics for me lol. Been so excited through this whole experience man. Not the most efficient grow but a huge learnin process

What about the phone won't allow you to upload a picture?
Are you going to polinate that female?
How do the buds look for 3 weeks in? The stretch is over basically and you can just watch now as she starts to beef up. I've asked my plants if they even lift before (yes quite high at the time) her answer: two hours later was a loud snap and I opened the tent to see she had broken off one of th e strings holding her branches down for LST. I had made that knot way earlier in the grow and I forgot to untie it so it was extremely tight as her stem grew. She fucking snapped the damnstring and it was pretty friggen loud. So I knew from then on, my plants lift.

thats awesome man. Yeah I just had bread ties in holes of the 3ltr pop bottle she's in lol the lil bit of stretch that did happen pulled two up out of the notch holdin them in. Between that and mynovice defoliation and other mistakes I've learned how tough these plants can be. Wish I could show ya pics man I'm kinda proud of the wee lass but idk it just wont do anything when I click on the browse/upload buttons. Literally nothing happens like it doesn't recognize it as clickable

This Blueberry is such a sensitive pheno. It aggravates the hell out of me.I've been noticing a slight Iron deficiency in all the plants I've been getting yellow new growth, seeing this ever since the flip. My assumption is that iron is getting locked out because of a ph imbalance. Today was their scheduled flush day anyway so I PHed straight water and Clearex to 6.1. What I was getting at about the Blueberry is that she is showing the deficiency much more than the others. She also couldn't handle the feedings that the rest of the plants were loving in veg. I just gotta baby her I guess. What a brat. Well anyways its an easy fix and I'm 99% sure that the problem will be fixed within a week. Just have to give the early flower flush a week earlier in the future and I will completely avoid it altogether. It's my first time using the whole Botanicare line so I am learning them as well. The fe def. Isn't doing much damper on the explosive growth the plants have been in. I can only imagine though if it wasn't there how fast they would be shooting up.
I also gave th em all a nice haircut. Beginning the process of defoliating all the under growth that will never amount for anything anyways and allow the plants to focus everything on the colas.
Well here we go all pictires are Pre Haircut

Will your phone let you upload to facebook? If so I know a way you can post pics to here. (not by using FB btw) It's tough to picture grows without pics lol. What kind of lighting are you using again? Is it in a tent? Closet? Man its just hard to mentally picture everything out without at least one pic to base off for future posts and updates.

Ok good news this morning. So you know when your plants are all perky and pointed up towards the lights? Its one of those times that the plant is telling you its happy. Well upon opening the tent this morning I found the plants are the happiest they have been in two weeks. Almost shouting it at me. I've been almost pushing this Botanicare line to the limit with waterings at 1400 ppms and I know salts were building up in my medium. Gave the early flower end of full strength veg nutes start of flower nutes flush and so glad I did. I will post pics in a few. I'll also be doing more and more defoliation as time goes on from here to the finish. I've found that done properly it really increases yields

We are gonna figure this out.
Thanks bro
I've been growing indoors since I was 15. (Yes my first grow was crazy, trying to hide it at first, then it grew to 7' in my closet but i was told i could keep it lol)I'm in my late twenties now. I got my own place as soon as I had enough money to move out when I was 18. I'm in my late twenties now. I've been involved in everything from very large scale to going stealth. All of my equipment is in Florida so I basically had to start new when I moved up here. I love outdoor growing too. My outdoor journal is in my signature below.

It's awesome because the Hps is 9" from the top of the canopy and Temps at the top of the canopy are 77 degrees. Perfect. I love aircooled hoods

Ok here are some pictures, more defoliation done today. Lol some people may look at me crazy for it, but the proof is in the yields and there is a specific process in doing it the right way. Not just going and chopping some shit off just cause.
