Thanx Harley,

They have stretched more than I wanted...but other than that, I haven't seen any real reason for concern...I'm just letting do their thing & trying to help em a little! Hoping my luck, and everything else can hold steady for about another 6-7 weeks...lol

I've decided that when my lights come on I am going to set up one of my home made tubs, with an air pump or two, at the end of the Aeroflo & hang one of my Magnums over it. I'm going to try and salvage something good from these little girls rather than let Mother Nature run her course....isn't that one of the benefits of indoor growing?? LOL

Happy 8-)


Yeah, your GFP is over you can mix lights all you want now, just make note of when you added it if you want to calculate g/w later If they're healthy, it'll add to your salvage. ;)

See why you want clones from one genetic source now? :P

Hahahaha, SME, as soon as I read that from you it made sense!! And when I look at my grow it makes even more sense! :lol: Being the newb, I figured seed from the same bud was going to produce the same result....maybe I shouldn't have been so stoned in Biology class way back when....lol

I know my obligation to the GFP has been fulfilled, but I've kinda gotten used to buggin you guys...lol Plus you teach me stuff! :lol:

Thanx!

OK...Day 34 of 12/12....and these things have grown to 30-34"!!! I have one lone 36"r... They have gone crazy!

For the most part these girls are looking good. Some of the lower fan leaves have turned color and wilted, plus I have trimmed some lower sprouts that wouldn't have a chance to even become popcorn. I am thinking if I can see across the grow, at the base of the plants, I should have good circulation through there...reducing the chance of any funk...

I went back to the grow journal for my last grow, just to compare pics....and WOW!!! Hope it's not just my wishful thinking, but I am thinking this grow is far ahead of where the last one was with the same number of days.. Already the buds look bigger and are growing closer & closer together....and there are still a lot of weeks left!!

SME, if the most bud growth takes place in the last 2-4 weeks, I'm hoping my luck holds to the finish.....I am hoping it will be closer to my aim... ;)

Check out the pics and tell me what you think.....

The seedlings are still in progress... I waited too long to add nutes, so the lowest set of leaves got nasty...but I think I caught it in time because the rest of the growth above that looks good.

Thanx Rky!! I think they look better than the last grow was at this point into flower....and better is one of my goals for this grow....along with more. Hahaha And yes, I have 5 more weeks on the calendar, which puts me at the 12th of Dec. But "somewhere along the way" I did learn NOT to count on the calendar... :lol: ...the hard way! Around here we never have a white Christmas...so it might as well be as green as it can be!!! I can see the Christmas card now.....Sitting on the floor in front of a blazing fireplace, dressed in our Christmas sweaters & attire, huddled around our Mason Jars full!!!! (Well, except what we are sampling..)

So I am hoping in the 5 or so calendar weeks they have left, the buds keep getting more trics and have a lot more growth....I do have my hopes growing along with these girls!!

I did make a few changes or more for this grow....so I don't know which might have benefited them the most, but I don't think anything I learned or implemented for this grow has hurt anything! ;)

Thanx again, you guys, for the advice!! And I am still accepting more... 8-)

Since getting these girls healthy this has been just the basic grow. I look at these buds and have to smile remembering that I am doing this grow just to salvage something....and it is out-doing the last one.

Other than Lucas Formula, 1:2, and tap water, the only things added have been Aquashield & Hygrozyme.... All the other additives that I have sit, unused, under my mixing table...even the Cal/Mag!! This round, instead of trying to keep my numbers pin-pointed, I have been letting them drift a little more before adjusting....another big plus....I haven't had any more equipment failures!!(Knock, knock, knock on wood!)

Well, my salvaged girls have made it to day 46!! And for the most part, they are doing pretty good! Especially considering the start they had...

Over the weekend my PPM started rising, but not coming back down....and my pH started slowly going down... So this evening I drained & refilled, using LF & a little Hygrozyme...being careful not to disturb the roots that have made their way into the reservoir....this time.

IF my luck holds for another 3 or so weeks, I think this will be good!!
