Yea I just pulled a very sativa jakes dream @ 9 weeks. She needed another 3 but man, definitely a racey heady high. Have 2 phenos of her in the next round :)

I scored an original pack of Blue pit I need to dig into as well at some point

looking lovely lad, when there are no pistils there is now way left to grow lol. i don't see why your so upset personally i love it when they finish fast!
I don't mind a fast finish but the buds are only half the size the they should be

i don't understand how adding ph up or down would make the plant behave any differently so long as the ph is what it should be.
you honestly think that's what has caused them to finish up so quickly?

they look lovely to me, keep us posted if they do get any bigger

I've always been told not to mix them and that's the only "mistake" I've made. It may not be that but it started three days after I did it also there is some leaf damage. I'll just keep going and see where it ends up. Admittedly it's not too bad a problem but I still don't like it lol

i've done it before today and never noticed problem but usually i never use ph up cause silica,bloombastic,pk13/14 and rhizo all raise ph quite a lot so i would rather us one of them depending on what stage the plants are in than use actual alkaline.

you looking at a new years harvest too then? gonna go and check on my babies tonight, i'll be like santa sneaking round the house in the dead of the night lol

they were some great beans, you will need to keep a few of them to run multiple times, something i am regretting not doing because the phenos were pretty much all keeper quality.
my two favourites both had nanners on the flowers but no seeds, i had a couple of minor problems during the grow that could have caused them but i decided not to keep them and opted for the bullet proof diesel pheno that had yielded the most out of all 12 girls.

look out for the powdered latex glove, raspberry pavlova pheno. it was violet in colour and didn't taste anything like it smelled but the bag appeal was through the roof!

i'm a lazy cunt i just do what works.

that said, i also have a lot of ambition and think i could always do a lot better than i am, this stops me getting too lazy.

i'll see if i can step things up a bit next year, i have been eyeing the gavitas for a couple of years now, but have done nothing about it. i have been dreaming up the perfect grow room and it would need to have at least 10ft ceilings for me to consider those lights, i feel they would be wasted in my less than 8ft room.

i am setting up a new one but it's in a place i wouldn't feel safe leaving a ten grand set up, thats what i feel it would cost for 4-6 of those lights, the controller and co2/ac setup etc. for now the 1 grand 4k set up will suffice lol

That's one of the problems with NFT. It doesn't give you much scope for mistakes. A broken pump can totally wreck your plants in four hours. That's why I use two pumps, belt and braces lol
A soil/coco plant can last days and can still recover but in NFT with the lights on your roots will end up like a big packet of uncooked super noodles.

re gravitas they run well at full W in a 1.2 with good air exchange but the cunt is bolted to the ceiling and stays there
