Our water is very high in Manganese and Calcium, so I flushed with regular tap water , then re flushed with purified water then added Dyna-Gro Bloom 3-12-6 using purified water..I hope this helps.

Nah southern. I usually air them each afternoon but all indoors with a bit of sun thrown in for electricity bill $avings sake.

I have another one which is smaller but fatter plus two massive clones the mother being the one in the pics.

I have 5 seedlings which popped last week and all from high yielding strains which i am going to mainline..i love this method..patience and timing is the key to a good mainline grow.

What strain is that? I would leave some longer to see what it does. I have seen buds get massive!
Crazy Miss Hyde. I have had the beads for a while and they were my last batch before new ones. She is a big yeilder and fast finsiher. I am going to go one more week.

I discovered on one of plants, the one i main lined first but kinda stuffed it up, to my horror one of the fat colas was turning brown as opposed to the others..so closer inspection i opened the bud to see inside it..and there it was one big batch of grey mold in the centre..destroyed one big cola.

So now in a panic thinking the spores have spread I am going to have to do an emergency chop. :(

The rest of my girls look healthy except this one cola..damn it annoyed me cause that was one big fat cola.

Hey guys do you think this clone is ready to be mainlined? after topping a couple times I believe I got two equal tops to start the main line. Although I am fighting the right side a little bit because it is the main stem so it is a tad thicker than the other branch. Or should I let the two tops stretch a little before I Mainline?
Thanks for any advice.Clone.jpg

Let it grow more and establish a robust root system first. Leave the fans on until you get cage on and then you can defoliate her. It works much better and does not slow growth down as much!

Hi fellow growers.
This is my first ever grow,4 white widow xtrm feminized plants which all are mainlined. One of em actually has 7 not 8 mains cuz I killed the growth tip toppin the main :(. I didnt have the possibility to get tomato rings so the plants aint perfectly round. I got em under 600w hps and Im using the autopot system and Biotabs which is an organic slow fertiliser kit. Lookin pretty good so far

Looking good Zeke. Just out of curiosity, how big is your tent?

Hi ayron,

My tent is 3'28ft x 3'28ft x 6'56ft. Not that big but I think its perfect for 4 plants to fill it up.
Oh alright cool. I was trying to get a rough idea of how many plants I should throw in my tent, which is about the same size as yours...I was thinking 3-4 three gallon pots, or maybe trying to squeeze 5-6 2 gallon pots in there (gonna be working w/ an auto strain that stays relatively small..) After looking at your grow I think four 3 gallon smart pots are probably gonna be my best bet.

No mainlining this run :( Definitely gonna run it on some regular seeds next round though.
