The Biggest Grow Battle in the World 2019 First Leg. FINISHED

[Recycled]

Morning Mossy.[emoji481][emoji482]

Well the reason I'm not taking this plant down in one shot
She's only had one light covering her for the last 2 weeks.
She's a 5'×5' plant. So underneath of this plant needs more time.
You could tell from this pic.
See that there's a lot of underdeveloped buds. Another week or two and they'll be fatter and danker.
I really don't take plants in stages like this but I've been in a pickle recently with the last two harvests... Mayhem... has come out and nothing has went to plan over the last 6 months.
At leastways not Weight Wise.
Every little bit counts right now I can't afford to waste none. My other flower crops not going to come out as well as I anticipated. I made my soil little bit too rich in nitrogen. As we discussed last week. In making custom soils.
I had intended on vegging these plants for at least 4 weeks longer than I did.. and Mayhem struck and I forgot all about all the extra blood meal that I put in my custom soil.

"Murphy's law says if it can happen it will happen"

I've been growing good for years this is actually the first time I've ever had a mess up like this.

At a 100% bad time for me.

I guess go figure you got to have a couple of bad ones out of every hundred though right...
I can't always have good crops. Sometimes you got to take the bad with the good[emoji482]

I’m sure everything tastes better in a Yorkie! Or on it. Gravy comes to mind.

Onion gravy..oodles of sweet onion and a bit of stock..yum........

Totally agree I never take mine down at once ,,one bud at a time :smoking:

@hairyman ...you don't see many people that do though do you...?...

Sometimes i take the top colas off and get lazy let her go another 2 wks. Thats when i realized id been chopping to early for first couple years. Them buds can really swell up

Yup @faded187 ......

Good morning all you mind benders

Afternoon @E Grower ..sharing one..having a good sunday...?

Will the next Battle Grow have a Longest Growing Autoflower competition?

If we put up the perpetual Indoor Battle up..6 monthly poll dates......you Can.....

splittage(?)....here are some pics..

Lady Crack..........poor girl...I feel like her gynocologist........

 

[Rev. Green Genes]

Heres a selection of photos before and after a foliar feed. She's in a growth spurt.

friendly week 7 over here.

no flowers, she gonna go for a long ride it looks like.

Woop Woop

 

[Mossy]

I do also & they are said to be 55 60 day autos

What Vendor @E Grower @hairyman ...?

You must be treating them too well and they sticking around for some more love :smoking:

Hello @Mossy. I think alot of people are confused about the may 1st battle end date, or maybe its me but im not chopping my plant on may 1st if shes not done. Some people think u have to have them done and chopped. I took it as best plant by end date not have to be finished.

No-one said she had to be chopped @faded187 ......

Well the reason I'm not taking this plant down in one shot
She's only had one light covering her for the last 2 weeks.

Strangely...you are not alone..some of our really Good growers have had nightmares these last couple of rounds.

Mmmm Mmmmm good

Drink to go with it....?.......

 

[Mossy]

Some more "Spider Mite Predators" added,

Damn @Frogster ..still having problems....?......I Hate the Borg...I got them outdoor on the patio...took some doing to get rid of them..

The tent is pretty full now, some plants almost touching the roof.
Weather is wet & windy so difficult to get them out for good photos.

Nop poit knocking them into shock to get a couple of photos...but it would probably kill the red spider off...hot & dry makes them thrive...

For those who wonder what "Spider Mites" look like, I took this little video...

Love the vid...

Week 7 update
@TheMongol Dinafem cheese xxl day 53. Was feeding 3/4 strength gmb but shes still hungry so going to full strength. My starting water is rain ppm 6 Supplements will be rhino skin, big bud, carboload, bud factor x. Now i alternate feeds, next feed will be 6 ml gallon cal mag, 2 tbsp fox farm big bloom phd to 7. I alternate from 5.8 feed to 7 feed to better absorb mag its just how i do some will prolly disagree but look my results. my dry soil ph is 6.6, but accurate 8 says 6.4 I also dont follow feed schedules i read the plants so these feeds could change daily. Thanks for looking.

don't know how that flipped but oh well. Herez a bud shot off her.

I was Thinking Gin and Botanicals......citrus and borage...

We trimmed the lemon tree...cut a lot of the cross over branches out...so they are premature lemons...
She has a nice open center now...better for spraying...even with a regular neem spray there was quite a bit aphid settling in on her underside leaves...so they will be getting burned...

Yep i knew @Mossy some other members were asking in other threads.

If you see anyone asking..let them know for us @faded187 ...
