[WalterW]

Looking good man, keep up the good grow!

Nice looking plants man! Don't know what rock I've been sleeping under but better late to the party than never

Lucy and Barbara, huh? Classic stuff....

So where's Dr Gonzo at?
Best movie ever. I almost want to leave my old lady because she doesn't care for it. I'm always quoting the movie and she just looks at me with that glare.....LOL

Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

You're right, it shouldn't be too big a deal. Thanks for the tip about the photos. I'll have to play around a little more with them.

I just looked in on them after waking up and Lucy's leaves are drooping. I normally always see them doing this right before lights out, but there's still an hour and a half of light and Barabara still looks fine. Probably nothing, but my gardening senses are tingling... Any thoughts?

Cheers

she could be just going to sleep early, my dinafem white cheese did that around 2-3 hrs before lights off when she was on 20/4. I've slowly been changing the time to 18/6 and I now don't see her doing it. Recently I heard that our plants don't all sleep for the same amount of time and at the same time like at night especially when on 20/4. 4hrs is not enough for some, it could take 2 hrs just to go to sleep and 2 hrs to wake up. Its something I'm playing with, the word on the street is that they do more growing when asleep... but that's only an opinion, take look at @jingo's grows he run 24hrs light and has monsters

I actually got 17 cups ready and it's a good thing cuz she drank it all(with 20% run-off). Here's some quick pics while she was out stretching her roots.

The one in these pics is 50 days from popping out the soil. The other one in the tent is 60 days. They both got a bit stunted so their both a bit behind.

I grow so many sativa dominant plants that when I walk in my grow room in the morning I can hear them whisper "sleep we don't need no stink'in sleep"

@Slater I figured out how to stay in my own threads, I just keep a list in my sig.

Check out this Zambeza WW XL, about 40 inches tall on about day 56.

Should be noticeably bigger every week from here on out.

Hey thanks for chiming in. I checked this morning and they were both doing it this time, so I'm not too worried about it. I have them on 18/6 already but it's still an interesting topic that I will eventually dig into. I'll have to take a look at his grows sometime. Hope all is well.

Cheers

Hello all! Time for an update.

We're chuggin along here. Today is Lucy's birthday. She is 9 weeks old(63 days). She got a good aggressive feeding today of 16 cups (1 gallon) with 17ml of Botanicare Bloom and 5ml of calmag. She's about 51cm (20 inches) and doing well despite the heat stress.

Bardbara is 53 days old today. She should get a feeding tomorrow. She is 52cm (just above 20 inches) so she has officially overtaken her older sister. Barbara is exhibiting the same heat stress as her sister but other than that she looks good I think.

As I mentioned they're both a little too close to their lights since I'm only working with 4feet total vertical space.

As you can see (sort of; sorry wife definitely does not have steady hands; next time ask the cats) the lights are less than a foot away. Opinions as to whether it's too late to supercrop? Do i even need to? You can kind of see the cupping gradually getting less and less as you go down the plant. What do you guys think? Should I just bend them? There's not much room to work with in there. Are they okay like this? I don't think they'll grow much more. But what the hell do I know. Also new growth at the top is twisting which I assume is also a result of the heat stress. I think they sort of grow out of it though as they mature.

Anyway, I think that's all for today. Thanks for listening to me ramble and I hope you're all doing well.

Cheers,
Raoul Duke
