bb - did i see some blumat jr's in there? how are those workin out for you? sucks about that top. same thing almost happened to me last week with my og x bd, had to supercrop the top of the main stem, she stretched right in to the ceiling at like 2 weeks of flower. i thought i had overdone it, cause she was totally folded over, but she recovered well and the wound is well mended. do you think you'll get new shoots around the break or is it too late for that once she's flowering?

catcher- damn you were not kidding about that stretch!

HB- You saw correctly, they are Blumat Jrs. I LOVE them!! Probably the biggest factor to increased growth in my garden. It takes 7 plants about 2 days to drink 64oz of water and makes watering much easier. Not to mention there is an increase in growth, which i had experimented with to make sure I wasnt crazy.

Supercropping typically works great for me, but you have some plants with real hollow stems that dont hold up to well. I had done supercropping the same as usual and this one just snapped. The tops from all around are starting to grow more, but the ones from below are growing the quickest. It wont effect me to much since i was able to take 2 cuttings from where the stem broke.

Typically if a plant breaks during supercropping and has an exposed wound, I will make a paste from sea kelp powder and water and fill the wound in. It dries quickly and helps close the wound.

Well i'm in my new DR60 and I have also setup my exhaust properly. Heres some pics of the new mainfold and hookup. Ye its ghetto but works well. My room is atleast 2-3* cooler....



Heres the cab...



I finally realized that all my problems are not from too much biochar, but to a real bad infestation of springtails and fungus gnats. Screw compost from HD, its pretty much just bad shit. I'm still having bad nitrogen problems along with stunted and distorted growth.

here's a short update just to show how things are going. I finally got rid of my bug infestation which consisted of multiple soil level bugs. Things are greening up and getting good. Feel bad for some ancient Afghans who were casualties but are growing back now. Still showing some deficiencies, but will wait a couple of days before I add anything else since i've been using various things recently like ACT and fish hydroslate/kelp/humic acid.

shes seeding herself....... i guess im officially leaving the bagseed growers association. Few weeks from harvest bro and she did fillout beyond my expectations. but as i suspected from veg, i thought i saw some ballsacks and i pinched em off. Where there is somethere usually is many, or at least enough to fuck up my efforts. The cannabis is tip top, niceee resiny buds, im so proud of myself, i actually wana smoke this stuff, its just full of seeds, and they look premature too. FML. Ya live, ya learn.

She will make bomb full melt or bho. Everytime i grew bagseed it was outdoor and if need be the got the axe with little to no remorse. I was so stoked on the bean i found out of the connoisseur buds i was smoking, so i had to plant it, its a shame she hermed.But at least its not that big of a deal, or im not getting ulcers over it. being a hashlover, i consider myself a resin farmer not strictly a flower/bud grower, so im not too bummed.

I cant wait to get some real indoor going, not that i know i can avoid pests, molds and many other obstacles with little control. And i would say its all thanks to oranics, and compost teas. Everyone minor indoor attempt, i have had several issues but eversince converting to organics, everything is as happy as can be. There is nothing more forgiving for the noob.

Congrats on the harvest and seeds. I prefer to run seeds than clones, but thats because I like breeding. Here are some shots of my Prophet F2's. This is a bubba kush cross from Grindhouse seeds. The results are coming out real bubba dominant right now. I have clones of her and will also be doing a BX to the fathers side due to his vigor, aroma and super strong stems.


Some Dutchgrown Select mix in front. Followed by Caligula in the solos. Than the Ancient Afghans most affected by the bug infestation I had from store bought compost..


Flower Cabs getting full
