Here are a few close up pics. They are not the best. I have a reflection of the back of my phone in the lens I use to cleanup the led colors.

I hope everyone’s grows are looking good. & are coming your way.

Day 23

Just gave the girls a bath. I love my 1 gallon bug sprayer. It makes it so easy to spray the girls and coco down evenly. I spray them each 1 liter of TF Veg formula at 1/4 strength, pH down to 5.8. Then I let them rest for five and do it again with one liter each. By the time I’m done all of the trays will be showing some water. Going to leave them off the reservoir until next week. By then they may just be big enough to flip.

So I snapped a pic after the wet t-shirt contest and under natural light.

Again, don’t hesitate to ask questions, crack jokes, bs, or just call me out on something you think I might be doing incorrectly.
Hope everyone is have bumper harvests

So explain. This bath/spraying is done as their only feeding? What is TF? Do you spray the leaves also?

And ya, just looking so green. It puts a smile on my face. Thanks for the journal

That would be Technaflora nutrients. I hate to type it each time. LOL I posted their feeding schedule early in the journal. I spray everything just like rain, well if it moved in back and forth motions, but you get the idea. I find that the coco can hold about 1.5 liters of water. So I spray each with a liter and then repeat. This allows it to work all the way through and flush out the old a little as well into the trays, which I let it evaporate for a little added humidity. Takes about an hour to water the three of them this way and you could do it for the life cycle of the plant but that would be no fun. They will be on the reservoir by next week.

And yes this will be their only feeding until they go on the reservoir. I find once a week with coco keeps me from overwatering.

thanks for the clear explanation. I always go to the simple.

Anytime, that’s what this community is all about, sharing of information to better take care of our ladies.

Sometime during the next week I will take the tops off of all three girls. These are already 8 inches tall and will probably be close to a foot by the time I put them on the rez. Then if I feel it’s right I will flip the lights and let them start to flower, hopefully keeping the overall height down to three feet or so, they can bush out as much as they like. I always expect at least a doubling in height during stretch, if not triple. I’m have had a 3x3 tent full of foliage before and while it looks good, it’s a pain in the butt to keep under control.

Day 25

The girls are looking freaking marvelous.

I had moved the lights up another 5 inches and you could tell the difference in the top nodes in just two days of growth. They were all stretched a little more open than they had been. When I opened the tent tonight I could even smell them for the first time. I have a really good feeling about these three ladies. Depending on their size on day 30 I think I’m going to go ahead and flip them to 12/12 and let them flower. Tonight I went ahead and removed the very top node of each one. The pictures below show the before and after for each girl.

A few stats:
Temp 72-80f
Humidity 32-65%
Air domes are on, reservoir is off.
Juanita is 6 inches, Meggie is 7 inches, and Kaya is 8 inches tall.
