There's a Black Dog in my Jardin: mc130p's horticultural adventure

Thanks, I like that I don't use very much dirt and that by the time they're finished, the root balls on the girls (lol) fill the entire pot so I just grab the stem and toss the tiny bit of dirt on the top and a giant pot-shaped mass of roots.

Hi everyone, wow it's been a busy time for me. The girls are still doing well, and maintaining a surprisingly even canopy. . I haven't done anything to them but top them, other than that I have been really too busy to develop a good strategy for training. Here's a quick pic from the cam (I've got to say that camera photos with the light on make it look much more pink than it does to my eye):

There are nine tops for the 4 plants: 6 on the 1024 in the front right, 2 on the Liberty Haze in the back right, one on the Lost coast OG on the back left, and 2 on the Desert Diesel :)

Hi everyone, here's a midweek pic of the girls from the cam:

The desert diesel in the front left is a bit short, so she's got a 3 inch lift. It looks like I'll have to raise the light again in a day or two, but everyone is frosting up and doing well:) I think I over-did the nutes a tad on the LH, as I think I see some tips on the leaves, but it's hard to tell without a look under white light. Overall, I'd say this is the best run I've done so far:)

sorry for the lack of a weekend update....I was pretty busy and I missed the lights-on time. Here's a pic of the sleeping girls:

It seems like the cam takes better pics with the light off, haha. The calcium deficiency on the Desert Diesel got worse before it got better...she's got some kind of bad looking leaves. My bad on that one. Regardless, she's fattening up very nicely, you can see her there in the front left. If I were to bet money, I'd say she will be done first:) I usually never touch a bud, but I gave one of the DD tops a slight squeeze and they feel super dense, so that makes me really happy.

Overall, all the girls look really nice, with lots of frost, and they are really stinking up the tent. The DD is the only one with any nasty leaves, though the Liberty Haze got some small tips. She's kind of picky on the nutes, imo. The Lost Coast OG is loving life, with big fat leaves and nice frosty buds forming.

It's already starting to get hot, so I had to break out the air conditioner...I hate how much power that thing uses. Hopefully nighttime temps stay low so I can kill that thing and just open some windows...

Hi everyone, I hope you had a good weekend. I work pretty much every day, so it doesn't really matter, but it's still a symbolic thing, lol. I tried to mess around with the white balance on the camera, idk, it's not so red, but it's still a bit off, at least the color of the pots looks close. The girls are getting bigger and frostier every day:

I thought this was a neat pic of the Liberty Haze, I'm not sure why it's sideways though. I rotated it and saved it as upright before I uploaded it, oh well:

I added CO2 supplementation today. I wanted to do it a lot earlier, but I just didn't have time...but the 20lb tank should last this last month of flowering. Unfortunately, I have to go out of town in the end of June, so they all have to come down around then, at the latest.

Thanks man. Yeah, it's looking that way. I haven't cut down the nutes, so either that or I should up it a little...but I'm on the higher side of things, so I was leaning toward a natural leaf fade as the plants are maturing. Haha, either that or I'm killing them o_O

Edit: though I did just add CO2, so maybe I should up the feeding a bit....
