Bro she;s going to be a freakin monster in another 2 weeks ha ha. Go hard or go home son!!
Yeah i can't wait this will be the biggest plant i have even grown also i was lucky i went to check on her i wanted to know if the mesh was slowing down the return flow and it was the timer is set to water for 5mins and at 4 mins it started to over flow all over the ground so lucky i was there to turn that shit off but got me thinking it went off two times over night and i didn't check it..... but the ground was not wet so i don't know if it was flooding or what!

i slowed down the water pump so this doesn't happen again it also soaked the rockwool so that will slow things down a little in away that's kind of a good thing
Pain in the ass! but all good now after changing things i might set it to water for longer now as the pump is on slow!

Also bro got a Q? do you done the leafs your spraying with the colloidal silver go a little odd and show spots on the leafs... ?

Hmm shit bro, I'd remove the mesh. Dont stress man, just clip the roots if they get too long. I usually feed mine every 3 hours for 15 mins and its worked every time.
Yeah bro, the leaves on mine look like they are burnt. I put it down to a ridiculously low pH of the CS, it measured at 4.9 so i went with a 30ppm. I hear it is normal for them to look burnt. They will pick up once i stop the spraying :)

Yeah sweet ill go have a look the next time the water is set to go off and make sure its flowing fine if it happens again ill just remove the mesh and do the trim on that tail root i really can't wait to flower this girl!

also thanks yeah i was reading the leafs go a little funny sometimes but just wanted to make sure its all good in a few weeks once she shows me her balls....... i am sure she will recover did you find last time when you did it they gave you a lot of pollen... ? also in other news bubblegum is coming down today ill get some photos up later

Thanks for the help :weed:

Too easy bro, happy to help hey!
Last time I used CS, i found it depended on the size of the plant as to how much pollen they produced, my smaller clone didnt produce anywhere near the amount my larger one did. My clones now have been topped numerous times to get more branches, which hopefully will help produce more pollen. We'll soon find out hey lol

Day 52 Flower photos taken yesterday

Sorry i have been mainly uploading on the Vegging beast now its the flower tent turn well yesterday the two bubblegums come down and that was great gave me more room i don't mind having a tent packed from wall to wall but at the same time i should have done it with less plants and spread them out more and that's what ill do on the next run the girls are coming a long very nicely

The Blue dream is a stand out the buds are getting huge! every day i see them they are swelling more and more and now they are under better lighting thanks to moving the bubblegum out the buds are compact and very heavy she will be a great yielding lady

i just noticed some banana's on the super skunk...... so that's a pain in the ass as that's the strain i picked for the seed making project so it will have the risk of doing it again its only a test run on making seeds so i don't mind to much can always do it on another plant later if it works out

The black Russian has some really nice colas but they are very airy and light! shes meant to be a 50-56 day strain out of the two the one that got split down the middle is doing the best the other one Calcium Deficiency so that killed the yield... big time should still get 2 oz from her but she could of been a lot better i will know what to look at for next time they all got a touch of Calcium Deficiency but i picked it up faster on the others and fixed them right away

The bubblegum had some really nice heavy buds but shes not a big yielding plant so it looks to me around 5-6 oz not bad

Almost forgot about the mango shes doing okay shes really short i never boosted her like a should have shes still got some nice colas and smell is awesome very fruity mango :)

I manage to get a couple of photos of the blue dream before the lights turned on you will notices in the really shit HPS photo i tried to move one of the buds under the net to give her better lighting and the bud snapped so that might be my sample of the blue dream because if don't remove it the plant will put all its energy in to fixing the damage so better off removing

Thanks for looking and only a couple more weeks to go woohoo

Yeah thanks bro it was all a learning thing changing over to RO water and knowing how much cal-mag to give them plus not having my girls boosted like a normally do so i can get a good run off rookie mistake i should have known better but its all good wont happen again plus i should still have a nice yield to keep me happy for some time i can't wait to try the blue dream she is so sexy! its back to the hazey smell but once you pull the buds apart and put your noes in you can still smell the berry thanks for dropping in bro bongsmilie

Do you have some garden wire ties? Train that bitch down lol you don't need the screen in her yet but if you get some wire or string and start bringing her down you will be good. Try to make all the branches as even as possible. I learned some great pruning tips from @flowamasta thread and cutting some tips down 3-5 nodes helps keep things even and will make some nice colas once they flower. Remove all tiny puny growth and you should be good to go

Yeah i do my bro ill have to give her some more training only thing is i only have around 10cms each side left so its going to be a pain i want to put her in the flowering tent as its better that way i can spread her out if things keep going the way they are might chop next weekend in not 100% the week after yeah Flowa trimming was awesome i might need to go back and read that post for the 100th time lol just to refresh my mind

I'll be doing another trim for sure! i am looking forward to this next run i feel sorry for the blue dreams they are hidden below her not getting much light at all poor things are getting stretchy but once shes on her own ill start training the blue dream and they will recover

Thanks for the help bro

Yea you can def tell but I thought they would look worse than that so they actually don't look that bad. Nice lil test your doing to see if the whole plant will grow sacks along with the pasts you sprayed. Can't wait to see your results with this. Lots of people do it so I'm sure it will turn out good unless the strain is sterile.
