Just a thought @DirtyDogs446 but it looks like you are growing in builders buckets - did you remember to put drainage holes in the bottom?
Not saying you didn't, but sometimes problems are caused by something simple we have forgotten to do... I bet everybody on here has forgotten to do something at one point or another during a grow, I know I have!

Thank you for the thought yea I drilled them in the sides and bottoms because my last grow I slacked and dis not have enough holes I felt and this time I made sure I had a decent amount. This morning they seemed to be looking even better then yesterday I still wish I knew what the issue was so I did not make the mistake again I really think that verculimite stuff or however u spell it may be the issue because I feel like while they were younger it was absorbing to much water and possibly giving them an over watered effect idk just a guess

I can’t tell you the cause, but as long as they are looking better you are on the right track!
I could be something like I posted a few days ago, i have had plants that seemed to do nothing after about the two week mark, then after a week of doing nothing they exploded with growth. Other people reckoned they were putting all their energy into root growth rather than anything above soil.
You may end up with monsters!

WOOOOOOoooooo! These girls are blowing up! I must say, I was rather unimpressed when the larger plant went into flower. But she has at least tripled in size! And tthhe runt......... is no longer a runt. She's much larger than plant 2 was when she flowered. Also she has just started to flower, was beginning to think I'd have to put her on 12/12!

Day 82 - Chopped.

So just shy of 12 weeks, after having a good look all over both the plants I am growing in the comparative I decided to chop.Both were looking as though they were going downhill. Both had sugar leaves with a lot of amber, calyxes were cloudy with ambers, and it was an ideal day for me to stink up the garage as both neighbours were out.

Buds were not as dense as the Brooklyn sunrise, but there were a lot more of them.

I had very little to trim leaf wise off both plants, I took the big fans off but pretty much left the sugar leaves alone. I left a lot of stalk and hopefully this will help take a few more days in the drying stage. Garage is between 17C - 21C at moment so nowhere near as hot as it has been. Rh is about 40.

Ended up with 265g wet. Pretty happy with that considering they were not fed for the first 6 weeks due to me being in hospital, then growing in 30C+ (86F+) temps due to the UK having it's annual 3 weeks of summer.

Not yet. They have been hanging for a week, and are close, but I have just put them in brown paper bags for another couple of days slower drying. Hopefully by Sunday night they will be trimmed and weighed.

And thanks for the compliment! It is always nice to be told it looks like I am doing something right, especially as I am pretty much still a newbie and make life difficult for myself by not having a grow in a tent.

Well you did a damned fine job with the space you have! Seriously, look into the QB boards, more and better lighting will make that space work even better! And when they are back in stock, the QB 120 can be run with no heatsink! My two boards cost me less than $75 shipped and the same driver I use ( i got it from a going out of business sale ) can be had for around $30. The biggest advantage though is these boards are at least 2 times more efficient than those bulbs and put out 2-3 times more light., its why I ditched my light like this. A guy on the QB forum pulled over 200g DRY from about the same size space!

Just a suggestion though. And your DIY did a great job!

Qb boards or strips are something i am seriously considering. I have enough stash now to take a break over winter and grow again in spring, my wife won’t get anywhere near running out, so i will probably alter my cabinet during my grow break. Give me something to do during the dark nights!

I understand what you sre saying about more efficient lights. My own personal best is a total of 209 dry from 2x mephisto sour livers in the same cabinet, but i think that was more the strain than my setup. I still have a couple of those seeds left so it would be a good comparison if i upgrade. I have never grown the same strain twice in it yet.

My sour livers were from a previous comparative by The Vault. I posted twice on this page for the cut and at the bottom of thenext page (23) dry

IMG_20180813_132804.jpg IMG_20180817_163238.jpg not coming along too bad, but i think i stressed both autos when i transplanted them, and they didn't like the amendments in the medium when i transplanted. so i started two more, in their final pots, not going to add any amendments, just going to feed lightly when they look like they need it. this one smells good, and is developing better than the bsa
