Sad is a nice word, but I was thinking the plant is closer to the word pathetic. Another cool thing I'm seeing with these plants is how closely they conform to their environment and size of medium base that they're in. If I remember correctly, the CK site mentioned that these Jack Herer's prefer lots of room for the root system. I figure that, combined with my missteps for the nutrient needs of a smaller base, probably didn't help her cause. But the last one I grew took 12 weeks in flower, so I'm assuming there is lots of time to go.

Oh I was meaning my obsession with the hairs not your plant that’s sad lol I’ve seen a lot worse!

Aye she’ll bud just fine if given enough food

Sorry for misconstruing your post. I've been paying attention to the pistils in all of my plants too. It's fascinating to me how much they differ depending on strain type. I still consider my current plant kind of pathetic with it's crew cut on top though.

I hope she can limp along another month or so. Starting to eat herself up because I can't water enough times in a day.

I'm not giving up on her though. Good test, can't wait to grow a big version.

I've been super busy with work the past couple of days myself, and haven't even been able to peek in on my babies at all. I'm not too worried though, because that's the beauty of an auto-water system. Lights are off right now. We'll see how they are doing later on..

This one is shoved in my closet, even if I had auto watering, it's not in my main grow room, not sure I'd risk getting all my pajamas wet!
What kind of system do you use? I am scared of leaks, lol

I've used just a basic drip system for years. I use an 18-gallon roughneck tote with a couple of small recirc pumps, and then a larger pump connected to 1/4" tubing. I then use inexpensive pressure-compensating drip emitters from the local hardware store, and typically us 4-emitters per pot (just one emitter for a party cup). Then the runoff drains into drainaway trays, which are plumbed into a condensate pump, which sends the runoff out of the tent to a collection bucket (or you can recirc and go back into the main res).





I also just set up a separate flood and drain system in a small 2x2 tent, which I'm trying out on the purple kush now, and it's been working great.

Slick stuff! Nice and neat.

 

[J. Rocket]

nice set up.
simpler is better IMO.
dont overthink, its not required.

Finally turned the corner and on our way to a healthy plant ready for flower 2 months later…

I am scared of leaks, lol

no worries...nearly foolproof!

I got to peek in on my plants this morning, after not seeing them for three days. They looking pretty good for such neglect.

other end of that is over 56" up
who knew rockwool would rock this well!

You're making me wanna go upturn my little plant and see her tootsies. I bet it's not that packed

Maybe next week I'll give a root shot, just to check...

Love it when the paper method goes well. She is a happy one, I am excited. It will have the dank box all to self and it will get its own journal. It will have auto feed (my first system ever.) Replacement bean not ready yet.

 

[Nutty sKunK]

Overfed it a few days ago. It’s hard to measure feed for 150ml of water in the dark lol

Slight iron deficiency as well which I think I’ve gotten on top with some molasses and a calmag containing iron.

Still vegging I think, how it flowers soon otherwise it’s going outside

All the best

 

[PJ Diaz]

It's amazing how fast these plants grow in the right conditions. You all might remember that I did a hatchet job on my Purple Kush a few weeks ago. If you look at the plants today, you'd never suspect it. Here's some before and after pics, definitely got three different phenos going.

Day 63
They look like they are starting to put on a little weight. For the most part, I am hitting them both morning and evening with the maxibloom.
