Looking good man. I like your LED lights man. They look like the ones pros use.

I need to learn how to do the CO2 DIY thing. I think it might improve my yield. But that's not a problem right now. Because I am growing out males right now. Pollen collection time.

Love the piks man keep em coming. That is just amazing work you have done there.

The LEDs were a psuedo-gift. I get to use them for a while. Better than paying for them that's for sure. The CO2 thing is easy. 5 gallon bucket. 2 gallons of water. 2 cups of sugar and 3 TBS of turbo-yeast. I leave the lid off and stir every couple of days.

So, my results with the Bushmaster seem positive. I have heard mixed reviews about the stuff but I wanted to limit vertical growth in my tents.

The leaves remained unburned but a touch of rams horn-ing is happening on the new leaves coming from the buds. Just a touch but just a touch is more than I would like.

Drained the BM from my buckets and added a new nute mix. Used benneys as opposed to H2O2 and SM90...did I already journal that?...........

Hmmmmmm just watching the girls grow.

The ladies are looking fan-fucking-tastic

17 days into flower and a few nips and tucks here and there.

Nutrient solution is steady in pH 6.0-ish and staying cooler these days. Ppms are stable at around 1100 also.

Roots are looking stained from the BBs I added but the new root growth looks so lovely and crystal white. My biggest girl has a root ball that is filling her bucket. She is a thirsty bitch too. I have to watch her ass...

Bent a couple tops down a bit (weighted one down with a bag of pennies) to get the tallest tips more in line with my canopy. I have established my canopy buds and have cut everything below my canopy. Buds are slowly fattening up...

I see crystals!!! Some leaves look like they are going to be silly covered.

The LEDs are a nice supplement. I am not sure how mu HPS sight is getting to the edges of my tent but I can say that my entire 4x4 spot with my 5 girls in it is filled and all horizontal space is being used. Like I said, a nice canopy is formed....

Mostly upkeep at this point. Here are some photos. Damn I am excited! Right around 6 more weeks!

Good god man. That's looking sick for just week 6. That should fatten up very nicely.

Thanks Gom! I'm hopeful.
And I'm only a little over 2 weeks (maybe 3 now....days are funny lately and they are blending together...wouldn't know where I was at in my cycles without my calendar) into flowering??? 6 to go at most. They are getting lots of little trichs day by day...

Some bumps in the road with my roots early on but they are looking so healthy after the BBs. I'm convinced now and will never go without them in my buckets. The H2O2 and SM90 worked to solve my problem...the BBs keep my babies healthy. ZERO slime now-a-days.

I have roots on my clones now too! They all look so good. I'm giving them a couple of weeks longer in the box (just letting them veg there till these other girls get done) but I'm happy I actually got a set of clones to take.

Lots of time has passed...new photos!!! These ladies look nice. Heavy buds, lots of growth (maybe too much new leaf growth??? I'm thinking it may be a result of the BM but I will have to experiment with that...) and so many trichomes. The sugar leaves are coated and the photos do zero justice. Pistils are starting to turn a little darker...I'm approaching my final set of nutes and then my 2 week flushing process (metered down over a week with a spot of floral kleen then water only for the last week.) This moment is always a touch and go. Looking and planning far enough ahead so that everything comes out at the right time.

So, Here are the photos...gotta get back to work cause the babies I have have got to get moved out of the nursery a lot quicker than I anticipated...
