Thanks I’ll give that a try…I have some square tomato cages that will work well with the milk crates too…

Some more LST and rearranged the order. Two ’leggy” plants on the ends, two bushy ones in the middle. I see the beginning of the big stretch coming on, that’ll be exciting. They are spending the day indoors so the branches I bent over can turn upwards toward the suspended LED. JFM…

I think I’m gonna skip the extreme horizontal training this time. That was a cool experiment, this year I’m going for maximum height, and have already pulled all the lowers out into the sun. I’m working my way up the stalk with LST clips to get the next nodes headed that direction, and will...

This is where they catch the last rays of the day; the setting sun also streams in thru some windows in my dining nook and bathes the indoor plants with light. the Stalks are strengthening and stretching, and I think I got all the lower branches with flower sites out in the open…should be...

I left them in for the day, was Just a bit in the cool side. as it turns out, the ends of all the branches I wrenched down this morning, which were running horizontal, have all made the 90 degree turn upwards. I know I can’t match the intensity of the sun in my grow space, but the side...

Some more LST with plastic clips and wire hoops. A couple lowers are at the edges of the crates where they’ll be affixed in their final position. They always look kinda uneven after the LST, but will fill in as usual. pretty sunny today, but won’t get to the mid 60s for another hour when I’ll...

900 ml of ph 6.3 water and 900 ml of full strength Recharge and Fish shit to start the day. I’ve started pretty heavy handed LST to get the lower branches headed toward the edge of the crate where I’ll tie them down, also pushed downward some fat fan leaves so the next node up gets sun, I’ll...

These have been in the most intense lighting cabinet I could devise, so they’re pretty hardened off already.

Thanks dude, I worked on a vertical trellis setup over a buddies house today. He uses milk crates too, go figure…I’ll rig mine up similarly in the next couple days. None of them are telling me they want to bent over 90 degrees as I did last year so we might be goin vertical…need another 6...

I grow autos exclusively too. Not possible to achieve total darkness inside; if I close the bathroom door it gets way to hot, and I have a ton of solar lights on my deck I don’t feel like pulling down. The thing about autos is ya can reasonably get two 4 plant harvests in the growing season...

I’m retired, so I am here all the time. I think I’m gonna run these outdoors in good daylight and indoors in full light in the tub enclosure at sundown until sunrise the next day. I can just keep them inside with full light in the tub enclosure on rainy days. i have a couple feet of headroom...

This is their spot at the end of the day…

Moved them outside for full sun yesterday, and put back in the tub enclosure with lights blaring overnight. Brought them back outside this morning and gave them 800 ml of ph 6.3 water, and 800 ml of ph 6.4 half strength bone meal. They held all that with no problem, later on today I’ll give...

Oh yeah, I’ll be tucking leaves for sure!

400 ml of full strength recharge and Fish Shit, wait an hour, and another 400ml. I’ve been pretty successful in gauging how much the pots can accept without runoff to avoid a mess. The daytime temps are hovering around the mid 60s/low 70s for the next few days so I might move outdoors for some...

Thanks - I normally buck them down a bit more before they go in the Cannatrol, but the central colas were so dense decided to just let them be. Cannatrol claims part of the dry/cure process is the development of a shellack on the surface of the buds that locks in the terpenes. We’ll validate...

These made it thru the 4-day dry and 4-day cure cycles earlier this week, and have been on the hold cycle for the last few days. The colas held a good deal of their volume, and the total weight is 8.3 oz. Not bad for indoor autos that were like little green fireplugs…dense and sticky as hell...

Yeah, gonna be sad in a way to see them go outside, but Mother Nature knows best… they are growing pretty rapidly now, and I juiced them with 600 ml each of FF Wk 2 at around 75% strength this morning…slow and steady wins the race…

No fans blowing directly on them, but there are 2 small fans and a large one blowing cool air from the floor into the enclosure. Theesnkeep the plants in a state of gentle vibration to and fro. I’ll get some air directly on them soon… they are thriving indoors, and I bet I’m gonna have...

Gave them 800 ml of Recharge yesterday in 2 feedings a couple hours apart. Since I don’t have drip pans under the milk crates, I’m going slow on the waterings for now; letting them sit for a while between waterings allows the first feeding to distribute a bit more evenly and find the dry edges...
