OK, here's some pics. Not much new to report. Watering every 4 days @ 75% nutes. The "Unknown" kind of has me puzzled. It was a purchased seed I lost track of, and looks real heavy toward sativa. New leaves are very narrow and droopy. I'll probably skip the nutes on her for a couple waterings, no burn but I'm not sure she needs much food, pretty dark.
Otherwise just plugging along. They are all 20" tall or less, and about 20" in diameter. Now touching both walls of my 5' wide space, about 1.5 sq meters of foliage and buds.
Wish I had something exciting to report. I don't know my runoff pH or PPM feedings since I don't own any meter gadgets so I can't tell you that. I haven't flushed and won't so that's not gonna be a topic of discussion either. Don't have any funky leaves or bugs or shit growing on my soil, so it's pretty boring actually. Haven't even had a new soil gnat on my sticky traps for a couple weeks.
Anyway cheers to all, pipe up with any comments if you wish. Peace to you and yours - AIM

I'll do that. You always got some interesting grows.

Beautiful plants. Keep them green until harvest which means no bloom foods and no flushing. Don't worry about pH. Cannabis is very tolerant regarding availability of nutrients....waste of time. Tap water is fine too unless your pH is wacked out or the TDS is thru the roof. Mine is HARD, like 800+ ppm. I mostly use rainwater, best stuff you can get.
When you upcan, bury deep which will induce root output. Let it go to about 4 nodes, yank off the cotyledons and pinch off the leaf petioles (leaf sets) at the trunk at least 1 maybe two nodes up. Let it callus over night and upcan the next day. I do this with maters too but don't bother letting them callous over. I just pinch 'em off and bury deep. If it's leggy I hand dig a trench and lay the trunk in it then backfill. If you do this don't bother with the fact that it's gonna be laying across the ground looking funky and all. Next day it will have turned itself upright - gravitropism.
2. At the time my seeds pop the soil's surface I give them full sun (with some wind protection) morning till night then supplement with HID.
Good luck......

That's the plan. Keep up on the grow, I'm using the cheap shit Dyna Gro FP & Peter's Citrus as you recommended. Got beat up over Miracle Gro this Spring. Like I could give a fuck. There are very few on this board that understand ferts as you do. I judge success by the acre as you do, and MJ is but a tiny portion of my garden. I grow on about 65 acres.
We PM'ed each other a couple times before you got canned, too bad, you are always a voice of reason in my opinion. Botany, biology, experience... it shows. CEC... what the fuck?

Well I'l probably throw us up a picture tomorrow. I agree I am whining a bit but it is actually kind of a pain in the Ass if you are not a good photographer to put up decent pics. Photosynthesis definitely occurring, I'll show some green tomorrow. Show me some love... otherwise I'll set you up with a bit of bud porn in about 10 hurs.

Here you go. Again not much of significance to report. A couple pics look yellow but they are not. Had some HPS light leak out on the floor shot. I take about a leaf/plant/day off the lower foliage as it's getting shaded out. Overall I'm happy with the situation and no problems.

Thanks Bak. I wish I knew what the unknown plant was. I suspect a freebie from SOS I lost track of. Very sativa looking with skinny drooping cola leaves. Real dark green. She may be around a while trying to get ripe.

Don't do that! Leave all leaves on.

Well by that, I meant they have turned yellow and fall off on their own or at the slightest touch. I have a fistful of leaves in a bowl that have been removed the entire grow frrom 6 plants. Not defolaition, just sanitation. Look close and you'll see I still have leaves touching the soil.
I have never cut off healthy green leaves. I'm not stupid, I just type that way sometimes.

Just got caught up on your grow, and finally got to the last page...I want more info so interested. I'm on my 2nd official grow used an old mini-fridge, white walls duh! 2-1/2 weeks into flowering. I can wait till we all finish, would post my pics but I feel it is not needed. I want to know if u plan on re-vegging after harvest? I do and I AIM...no play on words intended 
to bush my lady out next go around.

Hadn't really given it any thought. I might keep a couple plant bases in the buckets and see what they do, stick them in the room with some fresh seedlings I'll be starting. Sometime. Don't really have a game plan obviously, but I'm happy to just keep cycling from seed. I've seen some reveg's that look decent, but I think I can get plants the size I want from seed as quick.
