UPDATE :

Well , decided to change things up …. I pulled the XS1500 PRO ( worked beautifully up to this point :mrgreen: ) and bumped up light to my QB 225 rig.
This is one of my workhorse lights and like running it when I can. Unfortunately, this light rig has no dimmer ( driver has tiny potentiometers ) but I am not going to remove driver off of risers just to get to it …… screw that.

Canopy distance is the name of the game with this rig. I was always a fan of the QB 96 light module and wish they still sold them.

So , Maximus Eurethrus will run under it , plus I am adding the Tester B plant . That plant is getting some legs and roped her with some LST for a flower flip starting today. I have to do plant shuffling from grow space to grow space occasionally .

The Wonder Pie plant is in later flower and will probably come down in a couple weeks which perfectly works out for tester B , as I can squeeze her in under Blackbird where the wonder pie now sits.

Tester B will still get trained to help keep her shape as it moves forward. She is still on Maxigrow @800 ppm and will switch her to bloom mix after she final stretches and sets up buds . She is still getting her twice weekly PEEarmor SI foliar until she flips. :bigjoint:

Blackbird :

Continuing the flower on these girls ….. Wonder Pie in corner is a nose assassin ( spicy / garlicky / sweet ) and can’t wait to bong that lady up.

Minor Defoliation on the others .

Merry PISSmas :weed: :mrgreen:

Original Christmas Carol ( AI )
Thanks ChatGPT ( LOL ) :bigjoint:

(Verse 1)
In a bathroom stall, so snug and tight,
A jolly soul with all his might,
He lifted the lid with cheer so clear,
To spread some joy and holiday cheer.

(Chorus)
Pee the night away, let it flow,
In the bathroom, to and fro,
Merry tinkles, one and all,
Christmas joy in every stall.

(Verse 2)
The porcelain throne, oh, how it gleams,
Reflecting dreams of festive streams,
Tidings of comfort and liquid delight,
A carol of pee on this joyous night.

(Chorus)
Pee the night away, let it flow,
In the bathroom, to and fro,
Merry tinkles, one and all,
Christmas joy in every stall.

(Bridge)
Snowflakes fall in the restroom air,
Echoes of laughter, without a care,
Golden streams like tinsel bright,
A yuletide song on this sacred night.

(Verse 3)
Santa’s on the roof, but down below,
A symphony of streams in the afterglow,
Cascading joy in liquid sound,
Christmas spirit all around.

(Chorus)
Pee the night away, let it flow,
In the bathroom, to and fro,
Merry tinkles, one and all,
Christmas joy in every stall.

(Outro)
So let it flow, this holiday tune,
Underneath the silvery moon,
A Christmas carol, strange but true,
Peeing joy to me and you!

UPDATE : LST / SUPERCROP

This is the Tester B plant - she is growing pretty big for a simple 2 gallon coco plant. I had to finish shaping her structure like the lowers.
Upper branches were growing higher but needed to “ rope this wild child “.

AFTER

Mid branch sites are now going vertical :bigjoint:

Plant took the training like a champ.

This one also got the supercrop / LST treatment…. And is also got a more level top.

Friday Maintenance ( feed ) - Tester A and B


Today was another feed day for these to crazy COCO girls ( Tester plants A and B )

Maxibloom 850 ppm @5.8 ( tap water ) - Calmag 1/2 capful - HYDROGUARD ( 1 capful ) per gallon water.

‘Tester B plant is the bigger girl and is setup kind of wide. Her size is good for a simple 2 gallon pot. I tend not to run 5 gallon sizes anymore ( personal preference) as it challenges me to grow as big as I can with smaller containers. I would rather have multiple strains in tent than one massive plant hogging up space.

They are getting their “ lady whiskers “ coming in. :bigjoint:

Plant rub produces a rather muted earthy smell but no worries at this stage.

Tester A plant :

Not discounting her as she is doing well also. Structure and growth is similar to other.

Wonder Pie

She was was drying in pot for about a week - then cut to hang for a little while longer before final jarring.

Smell has a garlicky pepper like stink :bigjoint:

Once i actually cut everything loose i will use my Cannabrush to finish up cleanup of flowers.

Well - looks like i will run this thread thru 2024 and beyond. :mrgreen:

Here are the 2 Banana Blaze plants i am running in coco besides the “ tester plants “.

NOTE : These two were supposed to be autos - but never flowered on its own. They ran like straight regulars ( under 12/12 flip ) - I normally don’t really bitch to much about the “ breeder “ involved as plants are looking good.

Anyways, these are 2 coco ( mother earth coco ) in 2 gallon buckets running on GH Maxibloom and Tap water with a smidge of calmag . Occasional Hydroguard in mix.
PH 5.8 @ 975 ppm

No sweetners , No hairspray , No pancake syrup or other candy bullshit. I guess i like my weed flavors as they come - not by artificial means :bigjoint:

They have a caramel / milky ? like smell when up close. Hoping its not some beauty queen plant and have weak sauce high - so we will see. I am not counting weeks or whatever . They get done when they get done.

Update - 99 problems :bigjoint:

Well , the Tester A plant has really blown up to pretty much match the Tester B plant. This the reason i stick to lousy 2 gallon coco pots - couldn’t imagine the plant size if i ran them in 5 gallons.

I can still get pretty big plants from 2 gallons. But …..
Here we are :( .

I am running ( A ) plant in a fringe lighting location of the HLG BLACKBIRD. This rig has been a great light to use when i am up against a wall looking for “ grow space “. All of those free photons are definitely enough to keep this plant thriving. She is flowering nicely even if she is not under light directly.

I do plan to continue some kind of training on her to help control ( if possible - lol :mrgreen: ) . She is on same type of feed as her “ sister “ - GH MAXIBLOOM @ 5.8 ph ( tap water ) and occasional Hydroguard. She sits a raised drip pan.

I have no spare tents or “ space “ for her but think she will be ok.
