New Grower Vegasbear's Noob Growing Adventures

Was super excited to put up Tent #2 but then I decided to go buy all of this:

Fastbuds Green Crack - Day 33
Day 33

Opened up the two bigger girls a little bit. I'd like them to stretch around the outside of the cage as much as possible to keep the centers open. We'll see.

Added another Autocob in the center. Ordered a 2200k for each tent to start mid flower through finish as the middle light. I really need to devise a better way to hang it, as its currently hanging off a strap across two ceiling support poles. Maybe a section of white painted steel mesh or something.

Fastbuds Green Crack - Day 36
Day 36

Fresh res, and opened them up a little more. Unfortunately I snapped the end off one of the front right girl's colas, because I waited a day too long to tuck her under the cage. No big deal. Removed only inward facing fan leaves for the most part.

Running sterile res with HTH Shock @ 3ppm, there has been almost zero ph fluctuation, though it is a 7gal res with a 5gal top off every fourth day.

Currently feeding with two 2gph drippers in each pot for a total of 18m a day beginning 2hrs after and ending 2hrs before lights off. Achieving ~20% runoff.

I've broken some branches during LST. Sucks when its the main cola like I did on my current white widow plant. No main. Just side colas. Shes a short plant too. Hoping buds are fat at least for like 2 oz. Lol

I always just take it as, "things happen." Mistakes are always going to be a part of things, and just add to the challenge. I enjoy that, it's kind of like, if it was perfect every time it would get boring for me. I finally had to bail on a grow last grow and it led me to entirely change directions which looks to be going well for me.

That's good. Glad it's working out now. I feel ya. When I started I lost my first 2 crops in dwc hydro. First to the dreaded pythium then I had plants with nanners so I chopped em all the 2nd time not knowing I shud of let em go and just dealt with the seeds. Hard lessons learned. Using old school 1000 watt magnetic ballast when I started. Wasted lots of money at first on my journey and failed hard. It was this great community that talked me into mor giving up. I stuck with it and from there I learned all the basics and what to do and what not to do and I started nailing my grows from then on. I transitioned to soil and coco now.
 
So, I have been trying my best to get the branches tucked under the cage so they grow outside of it before they get too big and stiff to bend. Had one that was cracking at the trunk and I didn't want to chance it so instead tried a little supercropping. Was pretty worried that I'd screwed it up but she was turned back upwards toward the light this morning.
