The oldest is 22 days (right), the one on the left is 18 days and the smallest (center) is 15 days old. Color and growth are good but the medium keeps trying to go back to the 5.8 ph that it had in the bag, now 6.3 ph (first pic). I was wrong when I thought I could change that low ph with just feeding and ph adjustment. I will add some lime and a little more perlite to the medium next time. Today the oldest got 2 gallons of 15 ml big bloom and 5 ml each of grow big, microbe brew, kangaroots and kelp me per gallon at 6.8 ph. The tips of the new growth look a bit yellow but I think it's because of ph and not nute burn, we will see.

I have turned on the third led, Mars 100X3, and I hope this gets the two shorter girls to stretch a bit. The tall girl is 26 days, middle is 19 and the one on the left is 22 days old. The yellowing of the tips is a little worse so I guess I will need to back off a bit on the nutes. The branches will get some support so I can move the plant around. The Mars is about 160 watts actual (a few diodes out) and the bs240uv is less than 120 watts each so I will have to rotate the plants.

The plants are 29, 25 and 22 days old and 28, 19 and 13 inches tall with the tallest showing very little vertical growth and the shortest still displaying pale green color. The two smaller and younger plants are still growing about one inch per day. Yesterday the the two older plants were given two gallons of 15ml big bloom and 4ml each of kangaroots, grow big, microbe brew, kelp me per gallon and today the small girl got the same, all at 6.7ph. I also worked into the first 1 inch of medium in the smallest plant about a tablespoon of dolomatic lime. I checked before feeding and my medium was just over 6.2 so in a few days I hope to see a better color if nothing else. The tallest plant has been a real queen of the grow and her bud sites are starting to shape up.

Today I added a tablespoon of lime and watered with 2 gallons of 4ml cal/mag extra at 6.7ph the two oldest plants (center, right). The smallest, far left, seems to be getting a better color. The girl in the center has grown some long legs and is not done yet, now 31 inches. The other two plants are still growing less than an inch per day but growing. I started this 5 gallon airpot (3rd pic from last) about 10 days ago and added about 5 tablespoons of lime (well blended) and watered with a mix of 5ml microbe brew, kangaroots and kelp me each at 6.7ph. The meter reads about 6.3 and the medium in the bag was 5.8ph. I like the meter, works well in the garden and when I use it in a 5 or 3 gallon pot I feel like I am trying to assemble a picture frame with railroad spikes. In about three weeks I will be planting so if more lime is needed I guess now would be a good time. The last two pics are my latest attempt to make hash. A $1.79 plastic paint can, cut off bottom, and a 75 micron bubble bag. Small problem, I smoke it as fast as I make it. It gone before it can get pressed. I would try harder but I am just too stoned.

The tale of three sisters continues, oldest is 35 days (center) and 32 inches, next is 31 days (right) and 25 inches, far left is 28 days and 23 inches. The tallest has been defoliated to let more light get to the buds, not the best idea but maybe I can still get a few good buds yet. The other two are still looking OK and only the smallest seems to be growing taller. The tallest got cleaned with 10ml a gallon of sledgehammer and a round of bloom nutes, 10ml big bloom, 4ml each of tiger bloom, microbe brew, kelp me, kangaroots and 1/8 tsp beastie bloomz at 6.7ph. The other two plants have feed again before a shot of sledgehammer later this week or this weekend at the latest. Had to stop with the kief, things were getting out of hand. Wife asked if I was trying out for a part on the "walking dead".

I guess it is time to confess and plead the "first". The reason for all the drama this grow is that "I have been really stoned and must have screwed up", several times along the way. The tallest plant seems to be getting worse while the other two appear to be limping along. All the plants have now been cleaned with sledgehammer and are on bloom nutes. The lime that I added is helping but there is no effective way to get it to the lower roots in time to do much good except to water often. Resin is now visible and the pistols are looking well.

Week seven and not much has changed, the ph issues have stunted this grow and I will pull the plug in about two weeks. I have gotten another airpot ready and will try and grow a free trainwreck auto seed in my smaller tent. The medium for this next grow is at about 6.5ph and has more drainage. We will see.
