The mendo Breath leaves are purple now and it's smelling like sugar cookies kinda, the minty smell is mostly gone, really curious how this will turn out, it's coming out better than I expected and density is nice which I was super worried about, if she smokes good I'm keeping her and will run 2 different mendos :)

Thanks yall!! :D too funny we treat our plants the all the same! It's like a natural ganja instinct among us farmers, love it :)

Had my septic back up today, pretty nasty but luckily nothing flooded, got it fixed but had to delay all the stuff I had planned today :( missed an xray for my knee, was supposed to renew my medical reccomendation card and had tons of stuff to pick up from the hydro shop, so let's hope tomorrow goes smoothly!

Today marks 8 full weeks on the mendo Breath and black lime and 2 full weeks on the mendo Breath #1 and animal cookies. :)

Mendo / blr - very happy with how things have gotten thick in there! The smells are unreal omg, they have blown past my expectations totally, I'll definitely be keeping them around for the long run, they deserve a permanent spot in the garden for a little while! The mendo smells of sugar cookies or cookie dough now, the minty smell has subsided and the black lime just wreaks of lime just by looking at it lol

The mendo #1 and animal cookies have also exceeded my expectations since it's my first rockwool grow ever, I'm really impressed how healthy and thick they are! I won't have to cull anything and all 38 will stay. The stems are so damn thick I won't need to use a trellis and the amount of plants isn't causing any crowding, I really think this grow will pull some incredible numbers this round if they maintain thier stamina. God I miss doing real sea of green grows, it should be the easiest harvest I've had in years, no larf at all and just dense tops if all goes as planned. I definitely need it after being let down by the last harvest

Also the perfect cloning weather is in full effect! I'm back to getting roots in literally 3 days, it's incredible, I haven't had to stop a cloner for down time in a couple weeks and just keep pumping them out full steam, I'm loving it!

Everything that has been transplanted into the 3x3 cubes have rooted nicely and almost ready for transplant onto hydroton.

My mamas don't look the best but they are finally growing nicely and healthy on the new growth and growing new future clones daily it seems, I think they'll keep me busy for another month or so, and next clone session I'll be taking cuts for new mama plants

Thanks bro! That's great! Flood trays kick ass :) for veg I'm using veg+bloom at about 1.5ec and for flower I'm using calmag /maxibloom, my tap water is about .1ec and then I add about .1-.2ec of calmag and then add 50/50maxigrow and maxi bloom to 1.5ec for first 2 weeks then switch to the same amount of calmag and use just maxibloom at about 1.6-1.8ec for the rest of the grow, then I just lower ppm a week or so before harvest

Wow, that's heaps cool man, would pump out some serious light :-D
For sure bro! Regular hps 1000w bulbs light up about a 4x4 area effectively, the 1150w hps light up a 4x6 area effectively, so with 2 DE bulbs, you're getting a 4x12 area, which is equivalent to running X3 regular bulbs! Basically an extra pound of bud per light, it's totally worth it imo
