Man all I can say is amazing work bro. I know it's been rough for you but things are looking really good and healthy. Those buds are starting to swell now too and are very frosty so I think your doing just fine. I'm sure harvesting will be a challenge but should be a lil fun too lol. I think is been pretty successful so far going to be interesting to see the yield from this. Keep it up bro

Thanks man. Winter took so long to break but now that it has, Temps and RH will be perfect the rest of the way, so I'm hopeful. Most of the more advanced ones don't look to be very dense. They probably look more dense in the pictures than they really are. Because of that, I have decided to continue running the HPS and not mess around with the MH bulb...at least for a while longer.

Chapter 2 Update
Day 97
Flowering Day 54

I did blind shots with my camera by leaning into the tent to try and get some shots...they did not turn out great but I'm going to post them anyway. Getting some good frost starting to form.

Chapter 2 Update
Day 99
Flowering Day 56

This morning I put the Metal Halide in primarily so I get get a really good look at them. Don't see any signs of toxicity or deficiency so that's good. I am surprised to see that a lot of hairs of turning orange...I'm most concerned about this on the under developed plants.

Took some close-up pictures. Will put the HPS back in before lights on tomorrow. Most of the Skunk #1's are doing great. Most of the Chronic Thunders are not. There are a few CT gems but most suck. I'm thinking in Chapter 1 I must have gotten 2 good ones by blind luck.

I did another feed at 1/2 my normal strength. PPM going in was 475 and run-off was between 800 and 850 for each tub. Still pretty high...not sure what to make of that.

Looking amazing bro. Those blind shots came out pretty good to me. Looks like you got a few ambers too but nowhere near enough to chop. I think your ppms on runoff is high because you have so much medium you can never really truly flush it. It would take at least double the size of those tubs. Your medium is holding a lot of the nutes still even though you flush. I would keep doing what your doing by feeding half strength. Won't be long till you have some great buds. Sorry to hear those Chronic Thunders aren't looking so good in terms of production but hopefully they smoke will be ok. Sometimes some can really surprise you on looks.

Looking awesome bro i 2nd the size of your medium is large so its going to take a lot to flush her down if you don't want to waste so much nutrients flush with 50% like you have been and reuse the run off but water it down more so if its coming out at 800 flush add more water to bring that ppm down and flush again till its the level you want

or just make a huge mix up and keep flushing till it drops as your going a hempy style grow you might find the base below the taps is holding on to some of the nutrients that's why the reading is high and can't be flushed 100% i could be wrong as i have never done hempy before but i think the girls are looking awesome and you don't have to much longer if you want just drop it your feeding down to 25% as it seems like you have a lot of nutrients in your medium

looking forward to the next project keep up the great job bro

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm going to do what you suggest and just keep feeding with 50% of what I would otherwise be feeding. I'll keep tabs on run-off and only bump the nutes back up if the run-off comes way down closer to what's going in. Each tote is 54 gallons I believe and I have no interest in trying to run 100's of gallons of plain water thru them.

how much longer you figure youll take them?

I' guessing I have around 10 to 14 days before the 1st ones start coming down. Many of them will be longer than that. I don't see any signs of fan leaves starting to turn fall colors yet.

Who knows though. I look at them several times each day so we'll just have to wait and see I guess.

Chapter 2 Update
Day 103
Flowering Day 60

Left Tub - Chronic Thunder ~ 53 Plants
Right Tub - Skunk #1 ~ 57 Plants

Watered with a slight increase in nutes. 505 PPM (0.72 EC) going in and both tubs run-off was 736 PPM (1.05 EC).
Since we hit the big six o, I don't see much need in trying to ramp nute levels up any more. I'll start taking them down gradually.

This may be the final update while the HPS is being used. Plan on putting the MH in either Fri, Sat or Sun and let them finish with that. Hoping to get some extra sugar from it. A nice side benefit is the pictures are much better :)

Some of these might be damned near ready to cut...i'm just not sure. I can't even see 70% of them...lol
