Day 18 of 12/12

Ok update time. Things have filled out quite a bit, and I have continued to do daily pruning inside the screen. They haven't stretched nearly as much as I was hoping for. At least I took measurements so I'll know how long to veg next time. I will definitely get a screen in much earlier next time so I can do training a little less haphazardly. This being from seed, and my first experience with the strain, I am not too disappointed. I still think my yield will be pretty decent.

The pistils started pushing out a couple days ago, and they are putting out a little funkiness now. I can see the beginning of frost coming on, and my hands are starting to come away sticky after pruning. :)

Here's pics...

This one shows the bulb in position to try and promote stretch:

Thats it for now. I will measure them and report my stretch when I'm convinced they are done.

Keep it Green

Hey, I have been meaning to ask, what bulb is in that 600? Your pics are so white for HPS. My Horti is wayyyyy more yellow, I like your bulbs spectrum alot...

Nice work on the ladies, love that circle of buds..

Thanks Aero!

My bulb is just as red as anyone else's, I simply set a custom white balance in my camera to compensate and make things look more normal. Most cameras are capable of this. Dig into ur manual and see what u find!

They might`ve stretched considerably more without that initial cleanout Bro......You took buncha material off of em possibly shocking/stunting and taking this long in recovery mode.....

As you said above , get the screen in there sooner next run and see how far they`ll go without a cleanup till absolutely necessary toward end of stretch.....

They look good though.....Here`s hopin they stretch some more before swellage sets in.......Killer job MGT......

Peace....DHF.....:ying:.....

Could be right on that m8. I just spent an hour in there moving things around and looking at whats what, and I am satisfied. Despite the lack of overall vertical stretch, all the side branches have basically matched the height of the top, which has given me alot of weaving and tucking to do. It also means there will be plenty bud :) .

Next round will be a different story. It will be with clones from 1 mom, and the screen will definitely be in there from day 1. I expect the next round will be a much better yield.

Having said that, I still believe I'll pull over .5 gpw without a struggle this time round.

Thanks for droppin in bro, glad to know you're along for the ride.

Looks awesome. I love how you plumbed the 1/2" inlets. Everything looks great...although I think, IMO, you got a lil too scissor happy when you trimmed em. Eh, live and learn.
Keep up the good work

Day 25 of 12/12

Update time. So things have stretched as much as they are going to, and the buds are forming up nicely.

I definitely bit myself in the ass when i chopped so much material away right when flipping. It cost me in terms of stretch. Lesson learned for next time I guess. The plan for next round is to veg longer, run all one cut(cuts for round 2 are rooting now), and put in a screen immediately. The screen will be larger diameter, And it will be taller, since I'm going to add a 2nd lamp.

Having said that, I'm not unsatisfied with what's happening in the tent. Smellin lovely, and trichomes are forming. Given the schwag I've been smokin' for months, how could that make me anything but happy?

Ok these pics are right after I trimmed a ton of fans out that were blockin budsites and airflow. Any questions, ask.

Look at all those bud sites, this is going to turn out good. I bet those buds swell into boulders with that rdwc setup....

Hey MGT,

Really tidy setup :) Its always a bit of a challenge when growing from seed so from that point of view the grow is going great. As you mentioned the real benefit will be on the next run when you have a clone to run, and you know your system.

Anyway subscribed now so make sure you update your thread more often than I do mine! lol
