You know....I have taken advantage of that in my tent too.

I needed to water everything in the tent but did not have a lot
of time and so I just dumped 4-5 gallons of water directly onto
the floor of my tent. It made maybe 1-1.5 inches in the tent
at first but this dropped just a quarter inch or so after just a short
while and the next morning it was long gone.

I added an extra lining layer when I switched back to soil, to allow
just this to happen. :0)

Lol, that's taking it to the next level, They do seem to wick well, this little cup test got me thinking since I grow in fabric exclusively, maybe a hempy style fabric rig?.... To be continued :)

Day 34 for the 10gal Blue Ripper clone, Day 16 for the 9x Blue Ripper F2's. The 10gal is doing well but noticed it drooping a bit in the dark, will be checking it tonight with lights on, could be dry but that would be sucking up 3gal's in 1 1/2 days, hoping she's just a thirsty beatch. There's a cola sitting at almost 90 degrees on the right about 1/2 way down, that's the one I pollinated with the Fireballs male, definitely a few seeds coming in there to have that sort of weight at 5 weeks. I have 3x of those bamboo trellises in that 10gal pot but those colas will need more support very soon, will add some bamboo poles to support them soon. Not a terrible problem to have :)

The Blue Ripper F2's continued to stretch once they got under CMH, they're now 22" - 25" from the soil and taking up 36" x 40", lights are sitting at 19"-22" from the canopy and should remain there now. There are 4x tall/lanky/stretchy phenos and 5x shorter/branchy phenos. The "red-dot" phenos are all the shorter/branchy phenos, node spacing is tighter and more bud sites coming in on those, looking like a potential winner if all other aspects like smell, flavour and potency come through, they'll definitely produce more. If they hold true to the F1's should be seeing some early frost in a few days. Sample shots of a red-dot pheno, it's the one bottom-right in the first pic.

Blue Ripper F2's, 9x 2gal at Day 21. Flowers are starting to throw off some terps. Smells are holding true to the stem rubs through veg, basically a fruity/blueberry pheno, mostly from the tall/lanky phenos. Then a more skunky version for the shorter phenos including the "red-dot" phenos. Really liking the look and smell of the one shorter/branchy red-dot pheno so far, looking for some frost to show up by end of this week, not much of anything showing yet.

Some seeds in the making at Day 37 in the LED tent. Harlequin in 1gal (left) and Blue Ripper indi-dom pheno in 2gal. Both were hit by the very smelly Blue Ripper male using open pollination. Will try and time the fems like I did with these whenever I can, the open pollination worked very well, wholly seed stash coming up! As a bonus, after raining pollen on these gals, I also collected enough pollen for a few more chucks.

The Harlequin normally finishes in 49 days under CMH, will run it 53-54 days under the LED's, Blue Ripper will go 56-60 days under the LED's so about 3 weeks left. Harlequin is now showing some swollen seed pods. The Blue Ripper has been showing them for over a week and every single bud on that plant (right) is full of seeds :D

Ha, ha, perfect timing on that comment, when I fuck up I fuck up big time. Newbie move and some bad timing on the 10gal plant. Was out last week when it started sucking back 1.5 gal's a day, couldn't get back fast enough and it got fried after being under the lights bone dry for 1/2 the lights on cycle. Trying to see if I can even save it or at least get it to week 7, mainly I want the seeds on one branch, other than that I don't care as it'll just go into the hash bin, not exactly prime bud coming off this thing now :( Here's what a (once) beautiful plant looks like when you fry it under CMH, can you say instant defoliation? lol $%#^! Fucking newbie #$%@^

Hey Mo, trying, but it stopped drinking, it's been a few days and may be ready to water again tonight. At 5 1/2 weeks into flowering I'm just hoping to keep it alive for a couple of weeks to get my seeds off it and throw what's left into the hash bin. I've recovered vegging plants but this far into flowering al I can do is keep it going as long as it can. Will be looking for bananas, wouldn't be surprised after that shock.

I left my cloner off after taking some clones....for a full day...the little
puddles of green slowly inflated and lifted back up to be plants again.

Good luck!

Cheers JD, I've had similar issues when I can' get to them and they bounce back but not as bad as this one. Every single leaf on the top half of the plants dried to a crisp :( That cola with the seeds is solid with seeds and heavy though, just passed 6 weeks so they've been pollinated for 3 1/2 weeks or so. It dried up enough to water again so it should make it another week, at least for the seeds to finish. Really don't care about the buds, they'll make some meds and I'm never short on my bud stash :)

Lol, I'm sure you've had a couple ;) We're done here, short season, it's been in the 40-50's and last couple of days it hit 60F. Will have to see about a trip out west if I want to get any skiing in :)

Enjoy Bob, I've skied Whistler into early June but here it's mid-March and it's over, just a very weird winter here though, terrible for ski conditions all winter.

Those seeds are the Blue Ripper x Fireballs, let's hope they make it, that cola's leaning against the party cup tray, pretty sure they'll be fine :)

looks good as always. ive noticed my plants suck down water like no other under these lec's, too. causing me to only run 500 ppm to not get any tip burn. although im in my second run in hempy's, so thats probably a given.

what kind of shades do you wear in your room? between the hps, mh, and led shades, not sure which to go with under the lec's8-)

you fellas must be in GREAT shape. went skiing again a couple weeks ago, for my second time, and I was sore as hell the next few days, and im in pretty good shape myself. also, a pretty good skier for only my second time, if i may say so myself. played a lot of hockey, so that probably helps. :leaf:
