[who dat is]

Looking good in there. If you splinted and propper it back up, my money is on it pulling through just fine.

Looking GREAT, FE!

FE, whats the distance on those Gavitas from your canopy! They look pretty damn close! I cant get my Epaps within 36" without them bleachin/burnin

 

[FatherEarth]

Yea I know the glue just won't stay down. They are 18 -24" away. I have one cola that pushed beyond 18" that started to bleach under 1150w. It may have something to do wit being right next to the co2 generator and the use of photomag and friends. Those things push the plants natural limits maybe that's why it took so long to begin burning.? I'm going to remove the bleached top for the sake of keeping fungi off the dead material..

 

[FatherEarth]

Only the glue is that close everything else is beyond 36" umols in the overlap are @1500 I believe.. I'll doubble check..far edges that don't have a wall close umols drop off to 7-800. It's all about the overlap. Thanks to Yoda master "wassup" for schooling us...

Looks like they are gonna stack up nicely. Week4?

 

[thelaughingman]

aaawyeah I'm gunna stick around for this grow.. the ladies are looking great! keep up the good work FE..

 

[FatherEarth]

I've been playing with the light cycle a bit...got em on 11 on 13 off and will crescendo that to 14/ 10 by the last week. Seems to be stacking faster this way...I won't even go into the other things I've been twisting the dial on....yet

 

[FatherEarth]

Also culled the stunted glue. It wasn't doing much of anything and the other plants in the bed had overgrown her space. Not sure if that was the dudding thing or not... Nematodes def have been id'd in some cuts I made that wouldn't root, dif cultivar though...

 

[Luther Burbank]

Are those DEs or SE, FE?

 

[goldcountryguy2]

looks nice.....frost coverage on shnzeerlll is lovely....

 

[FatherEarth]

Confirmed by microscope the stunted glue was infected with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum aka hemp canker Maybe I can get Sam to check out some pics to confirm. Sclerotia is hard to miss in the white cottony mass inside the stem. I'll try and get some pics up today... The Room has turned into a monster. I can't water fast enough or keep up with the canopy management . Good problems I suppose. ..

The lights are DE

 

[b00m]

I swear I can see a herd of gorillas hiding in that jungle patch of glue
Looking awesome FE keep up the great work mate

 

[Diggaz]

Where did you find those 4' green floros, I have only found the compact ones? They work ok but a tube would be brighter.

 

[FatherEarth]

Diggs,

they are so bright at first they worried me. Took a couple years for me to actually use em regularly. Sunlight supply 2009. replacement bulbs 2012 same place...I think I paid 14$ each for the whole thing...

That god damn hemp canker is a bitch

 

[FatherEarth]

Yea it is a bitch. I lose a plant to it now and again. could have left the plant to finish but I cant stand a sickly plant in my garden. Kills me to grow out something thats not healthy. Here are some pics of what I diagnosed as hemp canker. The scab from the topping and the dissection under the microscope @ x4 and X10

The black balls are sclerotia forming, this is how the fungus reproduces and overwinters in the soil. If I allowed the plant to remain the scab would bust open exposing these scelrotia, setting them free...

The plant seemed as if it wasnt getting any water and was showing signs of nutrient deficiency between foliars. basically stopped growing as soon as I topped it.

Inside the scab

 

[FatherEarth]

The above pictures inside the scab were dried prior to examining...
