For the main garden, today is 27 days into flowering and still a long way from being finished. Had I known these were going to be so Sativa I would have done things a little differently. Heres today live.

Moving the outdoor plants every day sounds like a lot of work but I'm sure it'll be worth it. :greenstars: Please watch your back. The chances of me tipping and breaking a plant or pot would be so high in this scenario, I'd get cloth to cover them :biggrin:
It always fascinates me how a plant shows her needs or well-being, in soil we just have to wait a little bit longer 😁
Happy growing CP

I f__ked up my plants using a malfunctioning pH meter being cheap. Every time the meter started acting up I calibrated it and thought it was ok. Turns out it wasn’t and knocked my nutrient and pH sequence way out of range. When I was reading 5.7 it was 5.2 so I burned my plants. After testing the discharge with the new meter I found it had climbed to 7.5 way high. Too low going in and too high coming out. So now I have a brand new calibrated meter and checked the old one and it was way way off. So I have to get dialed in again and it may take a while.

I have had good luck with this meter and it lasted about 4 years. The main lesson here is when things seem like they are not normal always double-check with a new meter. I felt like things were funny and it cost me. I calibrated the new one and rinsed it between uses and it's kick-ass very fast and accurate.

So I'm into flowering now 30 days and have at least 40 more to go, maybe more since I messed up. Now is a good time to remove a few large fan leaves slowly from the plants. This has two benefits it will allow light to penetrate the canopy and the other is it will cause the plants to produce pheromones. Pheromones are a method a plant uses to keep intruders at bay. When slowly removing large fan leaves off the main stem the plant will feel threatened during flowering and produce stronger cannabinoids. Its whole function is to protect the flowers from the threat.

It's very important to remove only a few at a time so as not to shock the plant. I take maybe one or two on a watering day. It's best to always prune on watering day so the plant will have enough water in the broken stem to help heal and scab easily.
