Thanks for the props CL!

For training I really like using double hooked Yo-Yos, there are a few brands out there. You can easily change the tension when needed.

Plus it gives the plants something to do when the lights are off; they love playing with a yo-yo... ;)

Week 3 flowering, they're developing well and the scent is coming out. Per keeping this grow simple, I am just feeding them BioThrive Bloom, BioBud, CaMg+ and some molasses, all half strength.

I couldn't get all of the buds to focus in the closeup shots, so I uploaded both of them.

4 weeks flowering and going strong. Keeping it simple and hitting them with half strength BioBud, Bio Thrive Bloom and a tsp per gallon of
un-sulphured black strap molasses. Though in a week or so I will probably hit them with Bountea application.

They look like they're starting to develop faster, the trichome coverage is phenomenal and the density is impressive.

hey there MMC.

great to see that all is going well with the Mendo Sour Purps!!

they are really looking nice and the 2 plants, on the left, in the last pic are really starting to fill out for only 4 weeks. do you count the flowering time from right at the 12/12 flip? or do you start counting after the transitional period??
best of luck. keep posting. :D

Yes, you start counting when you flip although counting the days is more of a guide than a hard harvest date.

The two small Mendo Sour Purps are the only ones that look to finish within 9 weeks, I may start flushing here at the end of 6 weeks. The larger MSP that is pictured here in the two close ups, is looking like possibly 10 weeks they might just get some BioBud at 6 weeks. The other 3 are definitely going 10 weeks, maybe longer, per none of the pistils having changed color or resending into the flowers. They will get a good dosage of BioBud at the end of the week. I think they are going so slowly because it has been so cold when the light isn't on, with being in my basement here in Michigan.

You can see what appears to be a P and/or K def on most of those, that can slow down flower production too. :(

Make sure your pH is good... ;)

I completely agree that they have lock out. I have read that having major cold temps even just when the light are out can create lock out.

My PH is golden as I use a high quality PH meter, though will take them out of there tray, water them separately and test the run off more thoroughly.

The two Mendo Sour Purps in the back left and the MSP in the front left are ready for their flush so they will get what they want at 7 weeks which is on Thursday. The other three will get one more feeding. It looks like the MSP's will go ten weeks, per this lock out and the two Holy Waters and the Black Kush will go 11 or 12 weeks.

Regardless of time and yield I grow for medicine and the highest quality connoisseur cannabis. This easily the best quality, best smelling and the most trichome coverage I have grown in four years thanks to LED growing.
