[BRICH999]

Ladies hate me a lil less this morning and looking pretty good. Couple leaves still sagging a tad but all in all looks like a good recovery. Just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for all your help with all my questions. Couldnt do it without you all, trying to practice taking some bud porn so when the day comes I can share what youve all grown with me.

For now you get the amateur gallery :smoke:

Oh buckle in then, you are in for a treat. I wouldve started a journal on these but I thought they were all going to get pulled up after 3 weeks I did so much wrong in the beginning. Thanks to the afn community I think I have something going here! Do have one started for my 1.1st grow though its kinda boring with less going wrong:dunno:

Hope the ladies like their new light! If I notice a difference in buds on the side with the t5 ill surely be adding a 2nd to the other side! At 125 with bulbs im considering buying another now, I wasnt sure about the quality since they seem discontinued but no complaints other than the shipping box clearly stating it was a big ass grow light:Brain Fog..:

So this is going to be my impromptu journal on the end of these ladies. Spent some time tonight messing around and rearranging stuff because they are filling out very quickly. My jaw dropped when I noticed 4 days ago I took the pic in the OP. Last night I had to move the fan because plants were growing through it. Flushed 2 days ago and today the biggest one was bone dry!

Heres my plan tell me if it makes any sense: one is smallest and most advanced flowers, chop her first (hopefully 3 weeks?) When she is mostly cloudy and speed dry because im tired of buying bags. Around the same time if its all cloudy I want to chop the tallest and dry and cure it properly. Hope the other tall one and other short one go longer and will chop at different stages of amber to dry and cure.

My goal is to stop buying asap and try different levels of "ripeness" since its all the same strain and find what I like. Does this sound reasonable or do I need to sit back and enjoy the show and let them tell me?

You dry weed fairly quick if you need smoke.makes sense to me I would get one as big as possible cut all the nugs off of the branches and speed dry in paper bags and a fan. Another t5 will pore the light to them too looking great bro.

Thabks for the tip, I was planning on drying all of it in brown bags. Im considering another t5 for the other side but ill see if I notice much change. If they had a 2ft 4 bulb available i would have ordered it. Thoughts on bulbs? Think these said 6000k, will it make a huge difference if I swap 2 to flower bulbs?

So after spending some time checking on the ladies after adding the T5, I had to take a moment and say a lil something about my favorite girl. Of the 4 I have 2 are short and bushy and 2 are substantially taller with skinnier leaves. Between these taller 2, they are quite different with one being tallest and very straight and thick stemmed, very uniform xmas tree shape. Nice looking tree...

...But something about this one has always had my attention. She has always had the most colorful leaf stems and crazy lanky skinny branches gently flowing in the breeze. Her branches go out and up to a pretty even canopy, I think it would be perfectly even if they all held themselves up straight and I shut the fan off. Her leaves are so long and slender idk what It is but I cant keep my eyes off this one and am really looking forward to her progress. Not sure if any of this are good signs or not, I just love the look of this girl and would display her in my living room if I could

Here are a few in room pics, im gonna snap better ones of her outside the room next time I have them out(shes back left corner)
