Looking good man! Keep it up. The stretch is upon you now...
Going to be sweet in one month!

Just curious on how you water these girls. Move them around or do you have a set up for it.

I move them around, since they’re so short and bushy it’s pretty much impossible to feed them in the tent without getting water everywhere. I usually take them out 3 at a time and feed, takes about 2 hours(including mixing and pHing). Its a real pain in the ass as they need feeding every other day and probably every day in mid/late flower.
I have a plan for next grow to keep them in the drip trays at a slant so the water goes on one side and use a liquid vacuum to clean it up

We all eventually find a way to make the grows more efficient. You will figure it out for sure. I have it down to where it takes me about five minutes to is and feed the girls. I use to take over an hour and really didn't have an organized way of doing it. In time your grows and all the little details around the grow and your space will improve if you keep looking for ways to save time and energy.
Along the way there will be many sweet buds to smoke and enjoy. It's a hobby that even when it doesn't go perfect, it will still be better than not having anything.

Love the positive vibes! I’m happy enough with getting it down to 2 hours per feed, it took me about 3-4 hours everytime on my first grow. 5 minutes would be a dream come true

I have it down bro with feeding. I have buckets of RO and filtered water ready to go always, I mix them In another bucket 50/50, then add nutes, then feed direct to plants, I usually bottom feed and flush once at beginning of flower, that's it. Takes around 5 to 7 minutes each day.

Hey guys, little weekly update here, we’re on day 47 now. I did much needed round of defoliation and also lolipopped the lowest growths.
Here is a before and after
^ This pic was taken Wednesday so there was a little more stretch and leaf growth when I defoliated today
We’re on around week 2 of flower, I think I first started seeing pistils about 12 days ago.
Already seeing trichome production though! Not just on the sugar leaves but on those fan leaves as well
I just mixed their first batch of feed with bloom nutes that I’ll be feeding tomorrow, the girls have starting to get a bit high on N lately, changed the npk ratio down to around 1.5 - 1.8 - 2, I think it was around 1.8 - 1.2 - 2 before.
With a little burst of PK boosters in the few next feeds it should theoretically spark a chemical change in them to redirect all their energy to the ends of the stems where the buds are. Then it’s off to the races!
Here’s a photo without the LEDs if you guys are interested in how the leaves are looking, they’ve been starting to get a little metallic/glossy under the blurple in the last few days, but overall beautiful lush growth and otherwise healthy leaves. I believe one of the 3 Bears OG is a little more tolerant to the nitrogen, see if you can spot her out.
The one in the back middle with the brighter shade of green. I’m not sure if it’s the pheno or if she’s just been having problems but she’s noticeabley shorter and bushier than the rest of the girls
This is her during feeding on Wednesday before defoliation. She’s also a little bit behind the others judging from the pistil development. It’s interesting because the same thing happened to one of my GG4s from my first grow. Super short and bushy and looked almost the same! Turned out to be the breadwinner though only in terms of quantity but had to be cut short due to that nasty PM
I’ll try to lost more frequently on here, it’s so easy to forget! Thanks for reading!
