Lots of activity in the grow room this week.
Early in the week I noticed a little bit of nutrient burning in the northern lights plants. This happened a couple days after feeding so I decided not to flush. I'll dial the nutrients back a little for the next feeding and switch to alternating nutrients and plain water.
Growth has been slowing down so I transplanted everything into 2 gallon bags. The bags are about 30 cents each and I needed to punch additional holes in them for drainage. They should make the final transplant into 5-7 gallon pots easier since I'll be able to cut the bags off. They were a little root bound but the roots were still very healthy. After transplanting each bag got about half a gallon of water.
The grow room also got a little bit of an emergency upgrade after I noticed some water was stuck underneath the plastic floor. So I tore it up and replaced it with a small tarp and taped around all the edges. The silver tarp will hopefully be a little more reflective too.
Sup Mynk, here to see how that Skunk works out for you. Best of luck on the grow!
Also, not sure how white the paint is on your growspace walls, but you can pick up some cheap mylar sheets or panda film to supplement, if you find it's not as reflective as you'd like. Just a head's up!

Thanks @beanbean! The skunk popped in 24h, really happy how well most of the seeds have started.
I was looking at that panda film, but the white paint made such a huge difference I think it will be ok for now.
@BigDaddyK, yeah I need to get that under control. Currently I'm moving my plants to a sink and have been letting them drain, but the 7 gallon bags took a lot longer to drain than I expected. Thanks for checking out my grow
@OldCoolSativa, yeah I've never seen this much weed in one place before. I showed my bro the harvest and he said it looked like something Cheech would pull out of a backpack
@OldCoolSativa, I'm looking forward to seeing how your White Widow grows. Mine is growing very differently from the other plants. Are the straight pistils a sativa trait?
Read your strain review haha. I rarely smoke. Like once or twice within 2 months and go through the same thing. I literally take 1 hit with my tolerance and get smashed with all this high thc stuff. Wifey loves it though! Keep growing man, I defiantly enjoy it and hope you keep growing. 👊
Clones can be funny , some strains are better than others , we found that the strawberry og was so difficult to clone and took ages to root,nearly a month , whereas the incredible bulk took two weeks. Roots are the key to growth , and we always used clonex . We kept them in a 40watt t 5 tent and had a 4 week cycle , ah those were the days 😏
Dude, you should've bought a reverse lottery ticket after you went 6/9 males. 😊 Too bad the PPP was a bust for both of us, but we both seem to be doing OK with the WW. We'll have to arrange a smoke report and comparison of soil and purple lights vs DWC and COBs!
I'm encouraged to see your plants were at 5" in week 4, because that's where mine are now and I'm wondering if they've been stunted by low temps. ALso, the fact that 3 plants are filling your room so well makes me think my planned 6 might be too crowded.
