New Grower First indoor grow: LindaSeeds GG#4 and Gelato 33 under Mars SP3000

[WildBill]

I just top and tray watered the 2 7 gal pots and gave the 15 gal a little top watering.
Top water was the rainwater with a little molasses ppm to 245 with a starting ppm of 20 Ph to 6.5.
Bottom water was also rainwater with MegaCrop and .molasses with total ppm of 725.
The two 7gal pots took up a gallon and a quarter with the 15 gal taking a little less than a half gallon.

I probably shouldn't have watered this late into the daily cycle so close to lights out, but with 50% humidity and the good fresh air flow I have, I doubt I'll have a problem. In the future, I won't water that late any more. No need to push my luck.

Freshly watered ladies

seeing these plants fuels my passion for B.D.S.M.


they are looking fantastic!

its a trip how the plants just bounce right back like that. I still do it to my plants every now and then but its still cool to see how resilient they are to LST and other forms of training.

Well, the flower stretch is officially on......at least with the oldest GG4!
Last night, about an hour before lights out, I finished the watering and measured light height on the tallest part of the GG4 in the 7 gal pot. It was a little over 19 inches. Just a few min. ago, almost two hours after lights on, I checked the height again because she had obiously grown by a noticeable amount. How does a plant grow 3/4 of an inch overnight? LOL!

I moved up the lights a little bit after seeing a slight bit of alligatoring on the leaves. I know I was pushing them a bit by not moving up with the canopy with this SP3000 PPFD figures. I moved both lights up to 23in above the canopy.

They are drinking quite a bit. I'll check a probably plain water at the beginning of the cycle Sunday evening with a little top watering, but mainly bottom tray watering.
With the stupid heat I'm having, I'm gonna let the lights run and set the timer to 6PM to 12noon this evening.

Other than the above slight problem, the girls are growing great. The main "top" of each girl has a baby bud developing quite nicely. They are constantly stinking quite nicely too.

Plants look happy. This is the most enjoyable part of the grow for me. We can see in the next two weeks what these plants will look like from a structure standpoint, and then watching the buds develop and fatten! Nice work, so far!

Thanks!
Yeah, dat's a big "so far"! LOL! Still lot's of time for stuff to go wrong!
I'm happy so far. I just wish we could get a break from this damn heat!

Yeah, I always say I am not growing in August, but I can’t stand an empty cabinet. Plus, the plants always produce some good weed. Yield is not what it will be with the fall grow, but it is a lot more than if you didn’t grow. The plants are gonna produce, just keep doing what you are.

NICE!
I played RDR online instead of working outside. Way too much heat AND humidity. I felt like I was in Orlando at 4pm in the summer. It rains at 3pm daily there most days in the summer.
