Plants were looking healthy and growing strong, went ahead and clipped everything before the 4th node tonight. Got the 3rd and 4th plants shoots trained down as well. The 5th plant will probably need a couple days depending on how it responds.

The big girls are doing great!! Havent done any training, but the biggest plant is forming a pretty even canopy, only the main center bud site is above the rest. The smaller plant is doing it's own thing.

The smaller plants are doing good as well, should be able to start training the final plant tonight. Sorry for the shitty quality pictures. Busted the glass cover over the actual camera on my phone the other day, I reckon some moisture found it's way in there with this ridiculous humidity.

Looks like I might have a calcium deficiency beginning on a few. Gonna hit them with some calmag with their watering tonight.

If I put all 5 of these girls into flower at the same time, and use custom rectangle shaped cages for training, I would have about 5.5 sq inches per bud @8 tops per plant. Each plant would get a rectangle area that's 9.5" x 24". Will be tight, but it seems feasible.

Yeah it seems a little early, but my last plants went a little sideways at week 6, sounds about right :lol: The plant showing it the most has been the fastest grower and biggest plant since the beginning. Hopefully its feeding heavier than the rest and showing the first signs, and not some bugs that I'm not seeing.

Ive got 5 pitcher plants coming for the veg cabinet and 150 ladybugs for the flower cabinet. Ive noticed some bugs on the big girls, but haven't seen any damage. Maybe they're good bugs from the ewc's, but i figure better safe than sorry.

I gave them some fish fertilizer, calimagic, and algamic with their watering last night. Took a couple clones off the plant in the middle. I'm calling it the Captain America cut, its been the best looking and fastest growing plant out of my vast 7 plant experience :lol:

Took the big plastic tub out of the big cabinet. The ends swooped up so gradually there really wasn't a lot of space thats flat on the bottom. Gave me a lot more room to spread the plants out, and should give me better airflow.

Still waiting on the ladybugs. Looks like I've got thrips in the veg cabinet. Got some of the liquid Jack's Dead Bug concentrate and blasted them this morning. Hopefully one more treatment will knock them bastards out. Things seem okay in the flower cabinet, knock on wood.

Finally got my Sarracenia's in, got them in both cabinets for now. Once I get the ladybugs in the big cabinet, ill move the other two to the veg cabinet.
Did the final topping on my seedlings for mainlining. I think one or 2 are symmetrical, the other 3 are a little wonky. I'm definitely going on the 3rd node next time, hopefully I've got a good soil recipe now and can keep them healthy. Live and learn. Big plants are still looking okay. Bug problem hasn't gotten crazy, but I'll feel better after the ladybugs get in there and get fat.

So the mainline plants in the veg cabinet seem to be doing great. Ladybugs seem to be doing their thing. Im working on getting them trained into their rectangular shape so I can fit them all in their flower cabinet. I'm gonna have to order a qb288 r spec the replace the b spec in a couple weeks. Big plants still have about 6 weeks in the flower cabinet, and these guys will be huge by then. So I'll start them in flower in the small cabinet until the big cabinet opens up.

The big girls had a little bump in the road. I've been so busy working my regular job and finishing a side job, I forgot to water the girls for a couple days. I checked them on Saturday and they were not looking good. Very droopy, and lots of yellowing of lower and mid level leaves, even a few of the upper leaves. So I immediately mixed them up some water and nutrients. I trimmed the damaged and dying leaves and gave them a good foliar spray. Keeping my fingers crossed that they bounce back. Im hoping 6 weeks of flower left will give them time to bounce back and still make decent buds. Learning every day!
