Hey Charles. I am not at all trying to be an ass here. And I see your new and that explains a lot. But this is a thread that is set up to do a history for his grow. I'm sure the OP would rather you post random photos somewhere else.
With that said nice looking buds. Possibly start a thread of your own. I love seeing other grows too. Welcome to RIU!

Don't sweat it for a second brother. I was new and had no idea about either. It's a great place to pick up information. People are open to sharing ideas etc. Good option to kinda try it before ya buy it. Do a search on just about any growing questions you got and more than likely you will get answers. GL

Great photo my man! Is this your current run? How far you plan on taking this? It's my first time running it but I've heard people going long with it.

Plants look great OP! Clean setup and well organized! Nice move with using the blumat water sensor. I've got a couple in my 4x8 grassroots No-Till and I love them. Definitely a very valuable tool in seeing how the plants are drinking. I never rely solely on my readings tho, the plants tell me what they like and how they like it. I can't find a single aspect to critique with your grow, your ON POINT BROTHER! Excited to see some bud porn!!!

The Bloom Oasis
Day 7 flower
That transition from veg to flower is always exciting and we just ended our first week. Slow increases with the light Intensity. I'm really digging this QB96 rig, just now hit 200 watts up from 180. Trimmed up the Cap Junky and will continue to as needed. Animal Face and Chimera2 are just shining and filling in thier space appropriately. These two will be selectively plucked until week 3, then get that proper defoliation. Very happy on where we are, I think the girls are too.

Thank you! I try to keep it in order. It was a gift from my wife so I better had used it lol. It's cool and provides insight. Reading your plants is critical especially in today's automation age. Lol if there was and I'm sure it's there I would have beat ya to it. Thanks for stopping, I'll be sure to post some extra flower shots for you.Plants look great OP! Clean setup and well organized!

Hey man, I was thinking around 70 / 75 days.
yes, flowering in real time. I was gifted same size clones of Cap Junky, Governmint Oasis and Cheese back in Autumn. Cap Junky is looking most developed.
im sure this plant is no more than 3 weeks from chop. It's thirsty af but pistil production is minimal.
How close does she look to you.

Awwww man I'm not good at this guess game with pictures. Do your research on the cut you have and take it there. Scope it even, but whatever you do don't rush it. Let it do its thing, she will let you know. Start your journal so we can all follow along with your grow.

When you know better, you do better. For me, garden husbandry goes beyond just 'growing bud.' The fruit is a true reflection of your effort, and with this plant, it's clear who puts in the work. I say this because I’m focused on keeping long-term plants, so I picked up two items to help with my prevention program: Plant Wash by Lost Coast and IPM by Athena. These will be incorporated into my regular prevention and maintenance routine.

Staying proactive is the way to go. Things can go south in a hurry. A lot of effort goes into growing top shelf flower.

I've never had to implement any form of IPM spray for indoor. But.... I'm happy to see that you chose to go the botanical route. Fungus gnats are easily managed with BT-i, and that's the only one I've had to combat indoors. (Knock on wood) I've never had PM indoors, and that shit is everywhere outside my home. I always aim to keep RH in check, especially during the respiration cycle. I've noticed that even if I hit nighttime lows of 58F, if my RH is managed to below 60% plants don't contract anything.
Also I aim for high brix and test sap weekly.
UV enrichment is also a powerful tool in IMP, as is activation of SAR with chitenase. But I'm strictly veganic No-Till so its probably easier for me to introduce biotic/abiotic stress inhibitors.
Eitherway, your on the right track!!!

One major update since the crash was the implementation of automated watering! I will never hand water again, except for Tribus once a week. The is V1, and after a few weeks of use I'm already working out V2. Currently I have this set at 10 seconds on every 2 hours during lights on.
