ya killing it,everything looks great:bigjoint:
thanks thumper60, truth is i been struggling learning to get nutes right with the coco/perlite mix, being a newbie to this method, lots of casualties not pictured & with the ones surviving having badly formed buds, but now this batch is finally getting the right balance & buds are forming properly, whats happening with your grows? coming along ok?

the batch pictured above are GDP x C99a

the bud pictured below is a GDP x C99b group(had 2 GDP females pollinated by same C99 male)

the GDP x C99b is a much more denser & colorful bud type but...she molds up at the slightest hint of moisture, wont be growing that type out any more compared to the much more mold resistant GDP x C99a group

wow so you wheel them in & out of a barn in that buggy everyday? lot of work bro, i use blackout covers on my frames, got the alarm set @ 6am & 6pm, and do it all be hand manually pulling over or off everyday, its worth it cos i get much more than if left to natural cycles for sure!, nice chunky buds you have there, what strains you got going?

for sure gardening is a great way to get some exercise! looks like yours are healthy plants, appreciate the compliment, though im not showing the sickly ones(too depressing lol)
below a comparison of the GDP x C99 purp pheno compared to the plain janes, about 10% are the more colorful type

very nice those depoed?iam going all out on the depo this yr strong sun dry nights:hump:
do you mean light deprivation? this batch is in natural light cycle of 10hrs 35mins atm, during peak summer here i use light deprivation to ensure a batch are budding for an early harvest, these are at day 51 of their flowering and some have been harvested in the last few days, you're lucky you have the dry climate to enable growing those denser buds than the coastal people

after a series of failures with experimentation of combining organic nutes with standard coco formula finally followed the instructions which resulted in a much better outcome, these plants(GDP x C99) grown in 70% coco/30% perlite have shown a much stronger terpine profile, more resin production & denser bud formation than any other method used in growing them before(amended ground soil, standard potting mix, compost/perlite/coco blends, they are so different as to be almost unrecognizable from previous grows.. a big step forward for this grower!
