unfortunately, holiday commitments mean I have to either trigger them earlier than i'd like or chop them earlier than i'd planned. I planned on giving them 9 weeks bloom, the last lot took 9 but were from seed, these are all clones of those and if im right, then they will be ready a few days quicker than their parents... yes??? plants from seed take about a week longer to reach maturity than a clone?? I should be able to get away with a few days but 10 is cutting it fine. I don't flush also, so I have to give extra drying time, again further complicating the timing of the flip.. I could always flush this lot freeing up 4 or 5 days for vegging or finishing off.... decisions, decisions.......
Thats too bad Dr. maybe a nice midpoint between giving them a bit more veg and harvesting a couple days early. You'll have to throw those girls in some hempy buckets next time and they be plenty big in no time.
Your chop-sticks are good mate!!! I used mine primarily to keep the leaves out of moist soil, not for support. As the heads have to be in a hook-ish shape, they are more prone to sit in solution for day or so ... hence why I posted to edit on dry medium with the first train downwards. You`re on top of it brother, you have the growing instincts, you`ll be just fine
. Glad I could be of some assistance,

Thanks KC, the perlite dries in the top layer almost immediately so the hempy should be winning there. Man I am really going all out with this mainline thing...more on that in a bit.
Just for you Stoney, i'll post some pics as i get them
they will be pretty sporadic though as it will be at my mates house!
The C99 is a real nice looking girl easty, appreciate anything you can give no worries. Is your mate using the same system you are? Either way I'm sure she'll be knockout.
I tell you I really love these rapid rooters. In fact I have nothing bad to say about the whole GH line so far in my trials with it. I've been thinking about maybe trying another nute line after I use up the 3 part I have left. I might have to borrow a page out of SOuP's book and email some companies for samples. My bud uses botanicare and he loves it, my other bud uses Roots organic and one my hempy buddy uses GH like me. I don't know just rambling here wondering if some of the prices I see on certain brands of nutes could ever be worth it. I guess I won't know till I try it.
As I was saying
I love these rapid rooters. Transplanted 3 of the best looking and the 2nd worst looking seedlings into their hempy homes today. These are the homemade G13 Pineapple Express beans my bud made.
I don't know the first thing about making seeds and I'm pretty sure he doesn't either, so I am maybe a bit worried about them. He took a consistent mother, no cases of herm, nice smoke and yield, and used c-silver on a clone of it. Then he harvested pollen and seeded a different PE mother that he was putting into flower. What can I expect from these seeds would you guys think? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Edit: I believe these should be feminized for the most part? Hopefully lol
Here are the 4 new girls. I will keep the 3 that I like the most and run these along with hopefully one clone each of the 3 big girls in a 2-head mainline sog off to the side. Not sure how well this will work but I will find out. This grow is for experimental purposes only, I told myself I wasn't even going to attempt another summer grow.
Temps hit 88 in the cab for a hot minute there today, and it's not even really hot yet. Can't wait to cut them down to 11hrs that should help alot.
The auto is loving her hempy and is bouncing back. Man I cost this girl some valuable veg time hope she will end up okay.
I must have fed the girls too strongly at half strength and all 3 show tip burn. They get plain water tonight and I'll back the strength down a bit more maybe. Looking for a solid bit more growth so I can trim them up and start training heads.
Peace all
I am going to attempt a mainline trial here with Black Russian from Delicious Seeds, and Northern Lights x Skunk, Mazar x Great White Shark, both from World of Seeds. I am also running a few G13 Pineapple Express beans my bro made. ATB Who!
