Omg I was thinking of starting my germ station yesterday as well!! But I think I'm going to wait, let my first grow finish then swap bulbs to perpetually grow all in one tent. I want to be able to harvest at least an ounce to two every week or so.Well on to the next one, 2 more lights and 12 more babies coming soon

Ok so I think I know why my plants r showing the random nute deficiency when I'm using good nutes. I believe it's because I haven't been adjusting or checking my ph at all, I really didn't even know it was important so just stopped at the store and picked up some general hydroponics ph up and down probably too late on the ones that are already almost done but will be using on bubbles and new batch coming soon

I at least make sure my pH going in is about 6.0-6.5ish.
I finally checked my run off on one of my plants after weeks of not wanting too. Me and my neighbor agreed on as long as you pH your good. But I feel you will need to start checking towards the end of the grow thanks to salt build up and will need the final flushing anyway.

Well here's some update pics guys, a few of the plants I think are almost ready another week or 2 on the rest but looking good i think, They are staring to turn yellow a bit but I hear that's normal for autos late in there life. also the bubblegum plants that I put on like 16 off 8 on for 4 or 5 days and I don't know own if it helped but I do believe the bubbles are starting to bud finally.you can see how big they r in the pics around 4 feet tall

Did you do any cutting on the lower stuff? Or remove any of the dead stuff? I found when I waited an extra day on watering the plants that the lower stuff could almost just fall off from the touch!
That is looking like some really good smoke!! Looks like we both are in the same boat on half the crop flowering behind the rest. How do you feel on having to harvest a few plants instead of the whole thing? I was thinking it might be a good thing since it's my first time growing.
Have you squeezed the buds yet to see how thick they are? Crazyyyyyy chucky lookin!

Didn't do any defoliating if leaves were dying I'd just let nature take its course, I don't mind doing harvest every week of just a few plants because I just grow for head smoke so yeah I don't mind it and as far as the buds I try to refrain from touching them as much as possible but yeah they r nice and dense with a really good fruity smell

I was in that mode up until this last week or so and I started to mess with them more. I took some of the dead stuff on the bottom that got in the way when I was watering LOL ... but I pretty much took off anything that was just brown and hanging by a tiny bit to keep it all clean and nice. I also didn't want any leaves touching the soil ....I believe some OCD is going into my grow LOL

Man they look ready to smoke off the plant! Omg I wish computers had a way to smell what's on the other side! That purp that you got going on looks really really good, some amazing bag appeal! lol
So when it comes time to trim are you leaving all foxtails with the trics on the bud and just removing those pointy leaves?

I will probably leave alot of the inner leaves only because I am just smoking it so no point in wasting all them trichomes full of thc I will trim all bigger leaves and even the tips of inner leaves till I hit alot of crystals. If I was selling u would want to remove all leaf matter for better bag appeal but either way u can make hash with bubble bags that's what I am doing with all my trimmings
