If I can find a spot to put a GDP male then I would like to pollinate a branch of the blue mystic and a branch of one of the GDP as well. I hope I can figure something out that allows me to do that.

Don't know where you are, but, it's that time of year here to stick it outside somewhere. I've got a few small males started flowerin in one of those small tent style greenhouses. You don't have to flower em to finish, just long enough to collect a bit of pollen. The one that's been out there for over a month is well into flower, but filled the little tent, so I hacked it up and left a few branches on it. The others have only just gone in there but I expect em to be flowerin by the end of next week.

I'm in a place that it is not allowed. In the past I have used just a few CFL lights to get my male to flower just enough to collect. I'm just not sure where in my house i have space to set up something this time around

But I will definitely have to work something out. I gotta see how the GDP x blue mystic goes

So am I, LOL. My tent has a sort of green webbing in the polythene, which not only blocks out a little sun light, but also makes it impossible to tell what's actually in there, other than green plants. The smell did get out of control when that big plant filled the tent and it was a hot day, but now I've trimmed it down to size it's not noticeable now.

Another option would be to just go guerrilla somewhere. Try and find somewhere out of the way, where they wont be noticed for a few weeks. Should be enough time to collect some pollen and you're not to fussed if you lose a couple of male plants to thieves, cops, etc. As long as you don't leave anything near them traceable to you.

Today I will be tying the upper branches that were not quite long enough to get during my first round of LST. I will post pics of that later once I complete it

Now I have a question for any of you weed nerds out there. My fan leafs are absolutely massive. I'm on the fences as to whether I should remove some of them if not the majority of them. I have been weaving my branches in between them but it is pretty crowded. Any advise?

If anyone noticed I also moved the blue mystic directly under one of the lights since it is so short. That thing is pure indica. It's easy to spot in the group.

Only time I would remove fan leaves is if mold is an issue in late flower. Only way I take a fan leaf off is if I remove the branch there at the node with said fan leaf.

Also your plants are looking good. Glad that soil is working for you.

Thank you for your advise. I appreciate that. And I'm glad about the soil also. It is working out great so far. I'm not use to just watering. Other than the time it took to cook the mix it's really a time saver. I normally am mixing this and that and then PHing and adjusting accordingly. I wish I wasn't chasing the newest magical potion to feed with for as long as I did now

A little side note about my soil i am pretty proud of a couple of the ingredients i added because I sourced them personally. The sea shell flour I added was gathered from one of my fishing spots and the bat guano I damn near died in a cave to obtain.
