And titania, neptune, titan.

traveling by telephone.

Good looking grow. The leaves on those plants are huge. Very nice job. thanks for sharing.

 

[Natagonnaworrie]

love the attention to detail..

 

[Maj.Cottonmouth]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments, my garden only looks as good as it does because of the wonderful people here on IC.

I borrowed my daughters Nikon D60 and took some pics tonight, here is my favorite.

Great setup, plants and journal. I read lots too and still struggled early with application. You took like a fish to water bro.

 

[Hank Hemp]

Excuse but did I count 8 ferts and additives when you fert? They look great.

 

[Maj.Cottonmouth]

Thanks DiscoBiscuit, I still feel like a noob

HH, yes you did count correctly, at one point I was using 8 different ones but I am down to "only" 6 now that I am in full flower. The sick thing is I am only using 1/3 of what is recommended on the Roots Organics feeding schedule

Thanks, this last 4 weeks feels like it will never pass, so scared I am going f something up.

NO, you are not going to screw up this grow. It's going well, just watch for pests.
