Alright people! Pretty big update today.
First I'd like to retract a statement I made about Barbara being at 29 inches, I was probably stoned (am now too), but Barbara has not grown, she is in fact still 28 inches and Lucy is still 25 inches tall. Today is day 85 for Lucy and day 75 for Barbara.
So first things first. I went out and got some goodies over the weekend. Picked up some Botanicare Hydroplex, Liquid Karma, and the Clearex (I may or may not use this but thought I'd have it around just in case). I also picked up a nice little hash box (so excited!), a soil ph/moisture stick, the wife picked up a pretty cool pipe, and I grabbed some real nice reading material!
So, I did my regular inspection. Still have yellowing, trying not to stress, I'm sure it's fine. Seems to be slowing down so that's good. Here's some pics of that:
So now on to some science!
Tried out my new soil ph stick, ph was at about 7ph for both plants before feeding. I thought this was a little high so I phed my water at 5.6 today. I decided to add the hydroplex and liquid karma and felt I should start off at low doses. Both plants got 8ml/gal of Bloom, 3ml/gal of CalMag, 3ml/gal Hydroplex, and 1ml/gal LiquidKarma and were fed a gallon each with good run-off. Water ppm was 200, after nutes was 734 (happy with this). Tested soil ph again and Lucy was at 5.8 and Barbara was at 6.2 (very happy with this).
They're both packing on the buds real nice and they're smell is very noticable once outside the tent. Some frostiness is also developing on most of the buds and some of the pistils have started turning full orange.
Not too many pictures today didn't want them out too long.
Images were taken before feed, so they make look a little hungry.
Pretty proud so far, and I couldn't have done it without a lot of all of your help! (The list is far too long)
As promised, here's one of our critters:
I know cats... and rats... I don't ask and nor should you!
Happy growing everyone!
Cheers,
Duke

Playing around with the manual settings on my phone's camera. Played around with some white balance and shutter speed but didn't get great results. The shots with my LED glasses weren't too bad though.

I smell a good Kickstarter campaign. Simple small lenses for smartphones that let you shoot under a LED lights.

It smells fantastic!!! :smoking: As you open the tent you are greeted by a wonderful aroma that quickly fades (that carbon filter is doing it's work). You can still get a nice whiff if you press your face up to the plants. After about 5 mins outside the tent the smell is very noticable.
Nice pics, they still look beautiful so keep it coming my man!
Thanks man! Appreciate the
That's probably a great idea!
