Lighting Duckster goes for seconds

[justintrudeau]

Yep I remember her she was a bushy beast. But then again, Linda was pretty bushy too. I just noticed the way you ran the string through the hole on the pot.

Ya..Linda was a beauty. Lol sigh...she has been greatly missed. As for the string..I was just trying something different and it worked out great. I use slip knots to tie all the branches soo the string can open up as the plant stems get thicker. Boy scouts was good for something after all. Lol

Your ladies are looking great bro...I wouldn't sweat the kink either. Can't wait too see them in bloom bro.

I went over my last journal and noticed that those girls went from 7-8" to 40+" in the 2-3 weeks after I flushed and switched to bloom nutes. I flushed 10 days earlier last time so I'm hoping that some of this stretching has happen already. They are already at 16" and I don't have room for another 30+" growth spurt. lol

Day 40
Ok so the girls got a good flush of 30l each. Let them drain for an hour or so and gave them their last dose of veg nutes. Had to rearrange the girls in the cab to use the space a bit better. Also had the raise the light again. With the pots being so wet from the flush there was quite a bit which raise the rh to 50%. The temps are lower - down to 82-84 - which is kind of odd since I also turned on the side lighting. Mixed up enough bloom nutes for the next few days. It's time to bulk up bitches.

Day 44
Went to feed the girls this morning a found that the TS was growing into the light - again. She was at 30" and the other two were 26". I'm trying to keep them about the same height so rather than raise the light, I gave her a good bending so she is now 25". Got a bit carried away and gave her a big kink, added a bit of sticky tape and no worries.

The girls - TBM on the right, AK in the middle, and TS on the left.

Hey Ducks,heres an old tutorial on bending,

Ok Red ya got me. Hair, clothes and Playboy bunny uniforms say early 60s. So I'm guessing an invasion era band but I've never heard of them. At the time I was jamming to the Herman's hermits, kinks, animals, stones, Gary and the pacemakers, troggs, and lots of other "invasion" bands. Also had a big helping of California surfer music. lol

Other than the TS getting a bit unruly, things seem to be going fine. Managing to keep the temps down to 81-86. Rh is running 40-50. The soil pH is still perfect. Have been feeding 750ml each with
1ml GH CaliMagic
1ml AN Voodoo Juice
1.75ml AN pH perfect Grow
1.75ml AN pH perfect Micro
1.75ml AN pH perfect Bloom
1ml AN Big Bud
1ml AN Rhino Skin
1ml AN Sensizym
1ml AN Liquid Carboload

The TBM is leading the pack in bud formation swelling her budding nubbins. The other two seem about a week behind in that dept. No smell so far and no signs of frosting.

Thanks for stopping by. Here's hoping that all is well with you and yours.

Jesus christ mate what is it with you and growing monsters that aint even supposed to be monsters, that TS has gone crazy again and the AK dont look far behind her, there goes my earlier prediction about them behaving in the height department this time round lol, they look fantastic though and are setting out the frame to give you a pretty decent haul.

 

[Duckster]

Don't know bro. Starting to think that I would have been better off getting a cab with only one chamber which would have given me an extra 15" in height. Then again the girls may just be opportunists, they will take whatever they can get lololol. Then again, it could have something to do with all the nutes they get. Whatever the reason, I'll deal with whatever I get as I'm a bit of an opportunist myself lol.

 

[Duckster]

Checked on the girls this morning and the AK was singing this to me. lol


So I was happy to oblige her. The TBM and TS are almost done stretching (I hope). They seem to be putting most their energy into flowering.
