i think supp lighting saved my ass in one of the gardens this year...it kept everything steady in veg in july when other guys were having pre flower issues. my friends garden started preflowering in july and then reverted late july, and his plants are severely stunted. they barely grew at all in july whereas my supp lighting garden was stretching normally until the supp lights came off and then i had zero stretch...

either way youre killin it in your neck of the woods, plants on my side of the valley seem to be growing very weird this year. my blue dreams look totally different than last year, zero stretch just these big massive stacked colas....

My plants are all a lot like you described prop. During the time my ladies usually do their big stretch in August, we had unsafe smoke levels and nearly no sun. So even my more sativa aides plants just stayed short and are now stacking colas.

Similar pre-flower issues south of the Golden Gate into late June. Had to re-plant 10 indie dominates. Sativa dominates were uneffected. If I remember right, I think Mendo had a couple pre-flower issue as well? I'll be using seeds exclusively next season to help avoid future problems. Looking forward to Mendo's announcement.
 
Nice work Mendo. That last post ^ is great. Has it's own personality...

Diggin' your thread man. Would like to get setup with swimming pools of my own one day.

Hello all,

Well, Just checked the weather channel and for 10 days out it looks fine...

Temps are perfect so far. I am hoping for the 1st week of October. Buds are getting big but they will plump the last two weeks. They are starting to use up the N... pretty fast really...they are yellowing from the bottom up and only in the centers outward.

This has me concerned because of mold due to the dead leaves in the center. I have plastic trellis netting over them so reaching in to clear out the dead stuff is not practical.

Anyway thinking about giving them some N to slow the process some.

Going to prepare the trim area in the garage this coming week.

Good luck to us all.
