Yes!! Photos like this make my mouth water. Thanks for sharing bud, they look amazing.
Loose double SCROG? HHT?

Very tasty.

I like the idea of cages, with coco I used to enjoy the candelabra style, tying branches to pots... a cage would be easier.
I can't wait to see more shots of yours.

Fuck Bro, I didn't even realize they were fist size!
If my little flutter with RDWC has results like that I'll be in tears of joy...
This is what has been going on here, lots of training in veg, just for fun really.
New trellis to spread and support in flower, things were out of control and varied in height by 27inch plus... too much.
All ad-hock, few branch breaks but will bounce back stronger as always.
Here ya go....
I'll do a res change soon as drinking has slowed, but I did de-leaf a bucket plus so need to bounce back. Compared to some growers, I abuse my plants. But I know they can take it and taunt me for more.

Mmmm, not easy to answer. Had some accidental breeding a couple of runs back.
I'd say yes, seeds made with fem but with exception to the "nl5xhaze mist" part of it.
Pollen came from unknown 'sour diesel' which hermied due to grower error (lights left on), she pollinated dinafem diesels and the nl5. I tried to germ out the seeds from the nlxd as they looked different, but could well be dxd.
I have 2 clones and two seeds here away, all same family but different phenos for sure.
I'm going with 'northern diesel f1 fem' best answer I got

also,the small one in veg on right is OG Kush

Good enough for me =), I did tear up when I saw the before and after pictures of the "LST".

Looks dope as shit bro
What you feeding those beasts?
You don't worry about mildew/mold with all those leaves?

am i correct in saying that those buds are "fox tailing"

TBH i have never had a issue with mold
TBH i have never worried about about mold or mildew when keeping everything in check,,,
water temps , ph and most importantly VPD i even foiliar spray plants with zinc, iron 5 - 6 th week in flower the nutrient line i use is Optimum Hydroponix.
the key in not having mold n mildew is strong healthy plants to begin with Also with added C02 levels keeps area in a sense sterile Cause molds need 02 to provide energy and growth

Yeah they are fox tailing

I meant nutrient strength. I hear you can run hotter mixes in UC.
Thinking if making the move myself.

VPD dude?

Vapor pressure deficit.....
The VPD is currently regarded of how plants really 'feel' and react to the humidity in the growing environment. From a plant's perspective the VPD is the difference between the vapor pressure inside the leaf compared to the vapor pressure of the air. If we look at it with an RH hat on; the water in the leaf and the water and air mixture leaving the stomata is (more often than not) completely saturated -100% RH. If the air outside the leaf is less than 100% RH there is potential for water vapor to enter the air because gasses and liquids like to move from areas of high concentration (in this example the leaf) into areas of lower concentration (the air). So, in terms of growing plants, the VPD can be thought of as the shortage of vapor pressure in the air compared to within the leaf itself.
Another way of thinking about VPD is the atmospheric demand for water or the 'drying power' of the air. VPD is usually measured in pressure units, most commonly millibars or kilopascals, and is essentially a combination of temperature and relative humidity in a single value. VPD values run in the opposite way to RH vales, so when RH is high VPD is low. The higher the VPD value, the greater the potential the air has for sucking moisture out of the plant. As mentioned above, VPD provides a more accurate picture of how plants feel their environment in relation to temperature and humidity which gives us growers a better platform for environmental control. The only problem with VPD is it's difficult to determine accurately because you need to know the leaf temperature. This is quite a complex issue as leaf temperature can vary from leaf to leaf depending on many factors such as if a leaf is in direct light, partial shade or full shade. The most practical approach that most environmental control companies use to assess VPD is to take measurements of air temperature within the crop canopy. For humidity control purposes it's not necessary to measure the actual leaf VPD to within strict guidelines, what we want is to gain insight into is how the current temperature and humidity surrounding the crop is affecting the plants. A well positioned sensor measuring the air temperature and humidity close to, or just below, the crop canopy is adequate for providing a good indication of actual leaf conditions.
