Day 39

I spent another 1-2 hours clipping branches and tons of leafs off both pots, very very bushy strains but i like it compared to short non bushy plants but this is more work for sure lol

They sucked 13 gallons of megacrop down so i'll be mixing up another 13 gallons of megacrop at 600-750ppm and ph it to 6.0. They seem to love it so far

as you can see i took care of my height issue and bent the tallest branch and clipped it

How good are those Lst clips? I almost got some but I didn't pull the trigger.

They work great! If the plants get really big you need to watch them or the plant will break them but they are cheap so no worries if you forget.

Day 46

I think i gave Double Bubble her last defoliation and good I'm tired of taking leafs off her lol, Bubble Tricks needs a good defoliation too but that will be for tomorrow as doing 1 plant takes long enough.

I noticed the ppms and ph were a little off at 900ppm @ 6.7ph so i adjusted it back to 650ppm @5.8ph. It seems 1 plant took some spots on her leafs on Bubble Tricks 1 of the 3 plants in the pot but it is minor and i caught it early, only a few leafs were showing signs. The other 3 plants didn't seem to care lol

Of the 2 strains, it appears Double Bubble on the left is a little behind the bud development compared to the 3 Bubble Tricks on the right, 1 of the 3 Bubble Tricks plants is a bit shorter but looks to be building the same buds as the other 2 in the pot.

Today's pics will favor Double Bubble more because i gave her a big haircut, tomorrow I'll show off Bubble Tricks more

Day31......I'm calling Early Flower on Bubble Tricks......... Neither Double Bubble is there yet.
Bubble Tricks and Double Bubble shared a gallon of Mega Crop at 550 PPM I also added a dash of kelp and coconut water. I'm pretty happy with the way the volcanic fluff layer is working with these Rain Science bags. I think the only downside I can see at the moment, here's a little longer wait time for the top watering to soak in. If they continue to do this well, I'll be sure to dissect the root balls quickly as possible after the chop. With it not being organic in these little 3 gallon bags, I wonder how much of the silicon is being made available from the volcanic fluff. At this rate of feed with mega crop, it's not really adverse to microbial activity and I am doing other things to feed the microbes and keep them active. That's one of the reasons why I gave a little bit of coconut water to help with the roots. I don't know if it's genetics, but I can feel quite a bit of 'sturdiness' developing with our Miss Eager Beaver. Not a bit wispy at all even with her rapid growth. Double Bubble in the three gallon pot is more sturdy than her sister in the earth box.......... The total biomass is probably more also.......... Sorry I didn't get pictures of her when I had her sitting out soaking.

Day 43 for the Bubble Tricks. She is cruising along and still stretching. Bud sites are coming along nicely as is the canopy. I’ve been taking off a lot of lower nodes over the past two weeks. I also wasn’t getting ahead of the gnats. So I took off the top layer or soil, added a fresh layer of BuildaFlower and watered with mosquito bit tea. I also taped up the overflow hole cause they were coming outta there too. Seems to have done the trick.
Growing seems to be very easy when you’re only growing one plant. Can’t believe I would grow 3 plants at a time in this 2x2.

I do like Bubble Tricks structure! Fine example there @R Wayne !
I'm letting mine run as natural as possible. I'm looking at filling the whole tent full of three gallon bags. Mine is in a pretty tight area in this run . It should give a good representation of being packed in a tent.

Day 50 above soil today for our Bubble Tricks and the buds are developing nicely. Feeding 500ppm MegaCrop part A, and 200ppm Calmag.

Coast of Maine Stonington Blend is the healthiest looking with the fattest buds.

Roots Organic Lush, some fading lower down.

Fox Farm Happy Frog, Twin tops as the lowest branch took over while she recovered from the break

Coots kit soil, the tallest, with the most dying leaves

Plucked any dead/dying leaves, and a few fan leaves in the center of the plant then back to the tent.
