Indoor Copacabana, Muay Thai, Love Potion LED tent grow

Copacabana* is a monster:)
Sweet growing, I only feel there's too much N for MuayThai, looking very dark and thais generally don't like much N in flower.
Next weeks will be interesting for sure.

*I think if MuayThai was in that pot it would be even bigger and you'd need a new door:)

Hey Bala, thanks buddy, you're absolutely right all of the above and thanks for the advice about the Thai

She would be great in a bigger pot outside.

Making the scene with the neighbors over the fence but that's Oregon. Just don't want to smell-in any rippers.

As far as the N problem I've kind of noticed that with most of the five plants I started with.

There's no calcium in the Sea Grow base nutes, so I'm constantly adding CalMag, which is bringing in a steady supply of N.

Are there any recommendable calcium supplements that are not nitrate based? I was thinking of boiling some eggshells in water with a little vinegar to try and make a calcium tea like that but I'm worried about getting the dose right.

I appreciate any input about N-free calcium supplements that anybody might have out there.

In general, I'm starting to think that a 50/50 mix of veg and the 4-26-26 Bloom formula is probably better for the autos in my set-up; I would like to try mixing new plants next time rather than give the straight all-purpose 16-16-16 at the beginning. I never used these nutes before but was just following advice from the thread here about Sea Grow and overall I'm really pleased with the health of the plants but suffering a little with lack of experience. I know that @Waira here uses these nutes too with other supps and his garden looks awesome this year, I'm sure his way with his soil and set-up is working well.

As far as the Thai, it's a bit of a failed project here. I knew it was not really recommended for indoors, and especially with a little crampy tent like I've got but I just wanted to see what she'd do. I guess that's a success for trying but the overall disposition of the plant is not ideal because I've had to give space to the other 4 plants in the 2x4 tent. Long lanky branches with nowhere to bend to. She smells really great tho. I decided to go ahead and put her outside today, she got half an afternoon of sun and shade. I kind of feel bad for her going another two months in a cramped lonely tent inside. I've really enjoyed watching the plants push out under natural sun!

She's gonna stay in the laundry hamper for now because the branches are too long to support themselves. Will be giving silica blast to harden her up. You'll get a better idea of how greeened out on N she really is when you see her next to the others in natural light. I'll give some pics of her probably tomorrow.

I would like to pot her up as well, late as it kind of is. She would definitely be a killer outdoor tree grown the right way, she's a beast as advertised; I would like to see her grown out to her potential by somebody would grow it again if smokes well because she's been a hardy, compliant plant all the way under my less than ideal regimen.

Thanks again for stopping in, Bala, and looking forward to hearing how your LBH testers finish cure and smoke.
Kind regards,

I think I'm going to go ahead and cut the Thai out of the hamper this weekend and get some soil and a pot similar to the Copa, and bury in a bunch of stakes and keep her propped up.

Would have been better done 3-4 weeks ago (Captain Obvious) but I really wanted to finish her indoors. I'm not going to be disappointed by yield in the end either way unless it gets ripped which is possible.

The Love Potion on the other hand, I gave her a bit of sun today and flushed her pot out, but she has some decent small thick buds on her and it gets 65-75 % humidity outdoors here in the early pre-dawn. I changed my mind on putting her outside and letting her continue approaching ripening phase indoors and give some sunrays here and there the last couple days to help the finishing.

Transplanting at this stage would be a huge shock for the plant, are you sure it's worth the risk? Might reveg.
She looks well tamed indoors, just adjust the nutes and finish hed inside is what I'd do.

Cool. Did I say transplant, I meant pot up. I was going to just slip her fabric pot into a larger one so there shouldn't be any shock but yeah, maybe the new rootspace would stall the flowering out. Maybe I'll just bring her back in like you say and try to finish the track she's on. I do appreciate the advice.
 
Well I decided to stick with the plan and keep the Muay Thai indoors. She's been a good plant indoors and makes me nervous putting her out and risking losing her to weather or theft.

I bought some 5' bamboo canes and went about retying things down:

There's plenty of colas on her and I think this is going to help get the canopy back into a more even plane. I've got the timer set now for 16/8, and I'll drop to 14/10 at some point although she's been a trooper under 24/0. She did get one dark night already outside last night.

Here's a couple pics of the Love Potion:

Thanks again for lookin' in.

I found a new calcium supplement that is based on calcium chloride, from Down to Earth. I'm using that here out on the Thai, maybe toss a dash of epsom to supp.

The Thai looks happy with a much more even canopy:

Here's some more pics outside. Looks like some rain so they're tucked under the eave:
