Looking great man, I can't wait to see that canopy full :)

The canopy is pretty well full and buds forming. No frost yet though. Day 15 of flower. The Z7 (back right corner of tent) is massive and a much lighter green shade. I've been feeding it., but not enough I don't think. Ima give her a big dose of a high N nute.... I believe you are supposed to taper N in bloom, but she looks hungry to me......

Did a hash run today with 2oz of the CBD Snow Goddess and 2 oz misc bud (all good from da treehouse).

I fed the Z7 and the sativa snow goddess heavy tea spiked with an AO high N supplement and guano. They liked it and look much better today. All on track now except for the high THC snow goddess which I over fed somehow and am trying to flush.

loving that canopy! I hope that snow goddess recovers for you.
Are you eating any of your CBD?
I haven't been lately and I've been having more discomfort which is why I'm making the tincture..... I must be disciplined and not just suck the whole bottle down lol. I follow Medsheds process in the sticky thread up top.

Hey Bubba your girls are looking good and I had to chuckle about you chugging down tincture, it is easy to do!

image.jpgIs anyone else having issues uploading multiple pictures?

Anyway, someone should take me out to the woodshed and whip my ass for what I allowed to happen to the Z7. She's dead I'm pretty sure. I left town on Tuesday.Before leaving, I watered her in real good. The pic below is what she's looked like since I got home on Thursday.... actually she looks worse now than then. Nothing to do with nutes this time, just a severe lack of water. In 48 hours time, she sucked the pot dry to the extent that the roots dried out. The blumat failed for some fucking reason. I have a theory on why, but what I should have done was kept 2 blumats in the pot - that way you have a backup. I've flushed the pot with 15 gallons of water and given a slight drink of tea, but the water just sits in the drain tray - she aint drinking.

So, any suggestions on what i should do? My inclination is to cut her out of there and hash her up. That would make more room for the Tora Bora....

The other 3 plants are looking nice.image.jpg

A moment of silence for the Z7.... that was an expensive lesson. Redundant Blumats in the future dammit. I am now growing in a 3'x4' area. The Z7 is in the freezer.... there was resin on the leaves, so i plan to try to hash what there is and we'll see.

The Indica snow goddess is still looking overfed, but I cant imagine how. I flushed her with 20 gallons of water again today. The initial run off through the 10th gallon or so was at a low PH... under 6. When I finished the runoff was at about 6-6.5. Gave her a small drink of Ca/Mg and hopefully she'll get with the program now.

The Tora Bora and sativa snow goddess are looking good.

I bought a 2'x5'x4'h HTG mother keeper tent to veg in. I'm trying to clone my plants which are in the 5th week of flowering..... I've read that it's possible thru the 3rd week of flower, we'll see.

My flower tent is in the same room as the veg tent.... it is around the corner though - the utility room oddly enough is shaped like an L. There is some light from the inlet vent of the veg tent, but it doesn't seem to turn the corner after lights out in the 12/12 tent..... I'm thinking that inside the tent should still be pitch black near enough.... hopefully it won't be an issue.

How much light is too much during the dark cycle? Surely some indirect light is ok?.... after all it ain't pitch black always outside at night

First off merry X-mas bubba...............hope your having a safe holiday

Cloning off of late flower keeps them short and bushy also known as monstercropping, growers have had great results doing it https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/346874-monster-cropping-increasing-yield.html

You want ZERO light entering your dark period, no light is acceptable===may hermie on you. FYI.. something as small as the power indicator on surge protectors have stalled flowering before.

good luck

Looking good. Can't wait. Keep up the awesome work. +rep

Zero light leakage like PSUAGRO mentioned above. You don't want to smoke a bowl of popcorn. ;)

Sorry to say the "indicator light" should not ever be enough to cause intersex traits. Your doing something else wrong if that's the case. Light intensity plays a major role in this. Of course you don't want a light on, if you are still using the cmh and led this may cause added sensitivity to light leaks given lower wattage, ie. Less lumens/strength. Good luck man.

I agree with homebrew on this one. I have done much worse than an indicator light and had no issues with almost all our stress tests. Often times there is a greater underlying issue if you are seeing herms. Have you ever been outside during a full moon? For photosynthesis to happen the photo-system 2 in the chloroplast must be struck with UV rays otherwise no photosynthesis is going on. This is why a full moon does not affect the flowering of light dependent plants. Source Botany classes and I just read through my book again to make sure.

Thanks for the input guys. We'll see. I blocked some more of the light. When I get around the corner I can't see my hand in front of my face, and I'm still outside the tent, which only has the 3 vents open, none of which directly face where the weak light is coming from. My gut tells me it's cool. Like I said, we'll see cause I'm too lazy to change it anymore.... would have to build a wall.... not that this is a problem , just more hassle than I want to go to.

I had a setup where a little light ftom a cfl in the next room leaked in around an exhaust blower duct that was down by the floor. The daily flipping on and off that light in that adjoining room for construction caused the plant nearest to the blower/light leak to drop pollen. Plants elsewhere in the room didn't have an issue, only the one by the light leak.
