I'm gonna stick with the 3-gallon pots of coco to the end. I've grown some pretty big plants that way. Since I'm in coco and feeding til runoff every day it's basically poor-man's aquaculture.

I didnt realize you were in coco! Youll be fine!!

I think I am going to get the Autopots 4 plant 2.2 gallon pots.

I was going to go drip irrigation. But that seems like more work than I want atm. I was also looking at floraflex and the price seems right. I have been teetering on the brink of making a decision for what feels like a year. I think I am going to get the Autopots for ny 4x4 and see how it goes.

You will not be dissapointed mate! Really easy to use, fuss free growing method. I can highly recommend! If you would be able to use it with a Lightmix/Cocos mixture and some organic nutes, you would be golden for ease of growing.

The Lemon Z girlz are 33 days old. I'm thinking veg for one more week before flip the lights to 12/12:

Looking great! A few more days of VEG wouldn't hurt indeed ;-)

Cheers all and keep it going!

Day 36
My gals are starting to look better. I bumped up the feed to 675. I am a little behind some of the others but I am starting to catch up.

Im banking on 9wks to flower, just because thats been my experience with 8wk-9wk strains. I like them on the riper end of ripe. Anyway they do look way better! I havent noticed any sensitivities to any nutrients with this strain and have been running damn near 1000ppm since week2. Almost up to 1200 on occasion and have noticed no burning whatsoever, i am running silica molasses, kelp,PK booster, but no calmag because im using dechlorinated tap water and running soil. For what its worth

Yeah I wasn't feeding them enough. I should have been feeding them more. But they should be ready to flip in two weeks. That will give me 8 weeks to flower them.

very cool! I think your timing will be tight, but i have faith! There are tricks to speed up maturing with both light spectrums and extended dark periods in the late flowering phase. And even some nutrients tricks that will help the plants finish faster. If you have everything dialed by then you will have some killer ladies!!! Best of lucks Doobie!

Look at all those tops, pop-pop-poppity-popping!!! I count around 50 or so tops! I Cleaned up beneath the canopy and gave them their first feeding of plain water since they were babes ph’d to 5.9, and they are just chugging along! Green to the tips and shiny leaves! Just trying to stay on top of defoliation for airflow and keeping those bud-sites exposed! Temps are in low 80s and rh is hovering around 50%. Lots of pistils popping! They didnt stretch as much as i thought they would being so much sativa, but they stretched enough to fill out the canopy well and thats all that matters

 

[KingRatt]

After a quick lite defoliation! Gotta expose those bud-sites! Regular defol takes place every 2-3 days.
