**August 24th Edit** Decided not to do another update on PSK or GDPB and will go directly to their Harvest entries w/ all pictures of their final days included👍. Thanks folks! See you next week with these girls final update😀
Howdy folks! So, I wasn't going to do another update and just wait till harvest, but plans have changed and both GDPB and PSK harvests have been postponed to allow more time for them to ripen up and fade furher. This'll be quick and dirty. The Deets:
The Good:
-She is starting to fade quite well and that's why I'm leaving her be. She was holding on to a lot of color but now we're starting to see the "P" in GDPurple...
-Trich dev is in full swing still, and though mass has halted somewhat, she is still moving.
The Meh:
-Starting to fall apart a little bit. Even though it's natural and such, I was hoping she would hold up a bit better at the end. Oh well!
-Just the postponement. I had it allll planned out but expectations are a son of gun, haha. Need patience😦
Notes of the Week:
-Dutch Dragon was also postponed but she will not be getting an update. She is being taken down on the 16th, GDPB on the 19th and PSK on the 20th. There won't be a postponement this time. They will assuredly be finished.
-Space Cookies is allll dry and I'm shocked... Thinking I would be luck to get 2 ounce, but this dense chick put out about 3 ounce of solid product. Frigging Sweet👌
-Next grow will start up pretty quick but the first update probably won't come down for two weeks. I did decide on a proxy location to keep er legal. Will have full access to them, it'll all be okay.
Stopping there. Won't take too much of your time. Will update her final day, pictures and chop next time I pop on. Cheers folks! Have a gooder and I'll catch you on the flip side✊👋
@JinksyGrows, I am also considering buying a small Electric Hoist to raise and lower the units too and use "yo-yo hangers" on each corner to keep from the units from spinning. Might sound excessive, but having the ability to quickly and easily raise and lower the lights would be well worth the investment. I have been eyeing one with 110lb capacity and it only weighs a little over 12lbs. Anyhow, if you have questions or if I can help in anyway, please let me know. Happy growing!
Oveerwatering Issues=?. I feel you- To me the watering Regime is the hardest one to learn in indoor growing. It took me a good number of grows.
I ended in watering daily, and smaller amounts. and Always to look for the plant before i water^^.
If you have tiny plants, use tiny buckets to water them. ( a small glass )etc. You may take longer, but you cant overdo it.
Or take a small plasticbottle and do some markings onto the bottle. so you see how much you want to give to one plant. and can Control how much they already got.
@Mrs_Larimar, This is exactly what I've started to do as of yesterday, haha. I can't be trusted with the 100mL syringe, so I'm back to bottle feeds. Going waaay better, haha.
Thanks👍. I'll stop drowning them😅
Man how did we experience the exact same thing at the same time!? Reading the comments I’m so glad to hear they’re bouncing back!! I just had 5 nodes when I overwatered and had 0 growth for 7 days and lost the 3 lower nodes on all my girls. Since reporting in fabric pots they’ve bounced back and are growing as good as ever! Can’t wait to see how yours bounce back man, good luck!!
@ButtersStotch, Funny eh? Haha. Well, not a that funny, but crap does happen. And we're in the same boat, but it a good way this time🙂. I moved mine to 3 gallon fabrics too and they're moving surprisingly really well now. Woot! Congrats on the recovery man. Onwards 😀👍

Alibaba is like the Chinese Version Of Amazon https://www.alibaba.com/ they have some of the best prices on lights - you can get lights of better quality at much less than you would pay locally
I was going to buy a spider farmer for my 4x4 but went instead with this light and can not be any happier.

🙌🙌👏Please Check Out My Newest Diary's🙌🙌👏
@MrJones, I did ask😀 and thank you for the response👍. I've been on alibaba before, but you're correct. I should hop over there and check specs and options before buying a name! Cheers Jones, I'm on the hunt👌
oha,,,, that was really short ( for you)😜
most time if i say .. well theywill need 10-12 Days... they are suddenly done 5 Days later... my Plants tend to change from clear to milky,,,"overnight"
@Mrs_Larimar, That's a good point. I was looking at last week's pictures and trich development and she is moving very quick. The purple and fade only started 4 days ago too and that's going really fast. May have to cut down sooner, but I'll let her tell me😉. Just keeping a real close eye on them now.
@Med_in_Tropic, Still a little bit to go, but I feel we're close👌. Not dead or crispy! I have faith🙂. Moved forward with my test feed on DD and we shall see how this goes. Been 8 hrs and she's perked right up ... I'll take what I can get! Haha. So far so good.
Thanks med!
Good to know about the benefit of ticking analog as nice programable digital. Come to think of it, these household timers, are usually design for fence light or even night light. They are not rated for the wattage for grow room at all.
@Med_in_Tropic, You've got it, 100%. Residential timers being used for commercial lighting. Danger😮. With LED, the wattage is nice and constant without a spike👍. Thanks for reading man!
@Huggomadd,No doubt man. I learned a big lesson from this, and maybe it was necessary (?). I was taking people's word at face value, but they could have literally know nothing in the first place.
I test everything now, lol! And only buy mediums that the seller has proof of using and/or testing before use👍.
Live and learn! But this one hurt. Oof.
@JinksyGrows,
The standard should be that garden centers/shops stand behind their products because they've tried them out previously themselves. Like tried and true. Hard to say; "Yeah this product works great and gives you a huge/great harvest. You should pay the $ and try it." When they truly haven't got a clue about the product.
@Ga4rd2en0er, Non name brand, locally sourced soil, sold at a gardening greenhouse, not a hydro shop. I've had words with the greenhouse already... Haha. Not happy, and told them to pull the product, less they have another 40 of me coming to crap on them. I asked if they ever test their substrates before selling them, too. They said no... So, won't ever trust them again.
Edit 1: The soil was sold to me as 5.5pH seeding soil, btw. Higher N to PK volume. Should be standard stuff... Not sure how or where it got turned sour.
Edit 2: And things are looking good, right now. I will not be kiboshing the project 👍. Lost time, but they're moving very well, now, in their new home
Well that is a beautifully growing plant - stunning leaves and very healthy looking. Nice job mate 👌
A few more weeks and it will be hard for you to find your way inside that space :)
@HazeyBobby, I sure hope so🙂. Did a bunch of LST on 3 of 4 today and really starting to see exponential, daily growth. Slow and steady wins the race, but fast vegging plants is a beauty sight👌☺️
@Buddha2, Thanks Buddah! Going to take a page out of your book and keep it simple this time around👌. Let them go a little more natural 😊
Cheers and happy grows this week!
