what size are those buckets? 1 gallon? guessing since it's hempy you will be finishing them in those buckets?

keep on rocking' dude

Welcome Goats: So far I'm enjoying the Hempys. The girls have been healthy since day one and it seems almost too easy. I guess that's why I keep looking over my shoulder waiting for the shoe to drop. Still adjusting to the fact that it can be this easy. The buckets are three gallons from the dollar store and the plants will remain in them through flower.

Peace,
starke

Looking good. That super lemon haze will bounce back pretty quick. The one I ran was a seed plant from green house seeds. Really healthy yield and made some fragrant bho.

Hope she makes it. She's a clone from a Green House fem seed. I don't have room to run pheno hunts at present and got lucky with the first girl I busted out of a 10 pack. Indica leaning, pyramid shaped hard buds. Good yield, great aroma and great buzz. Fortunately she clones easily and I have several backups waiting in case she doesn't make it.

Weekly update: The Super Lemon Haze recovered enough that I am going to try and flower her after all, because I really don't have room for her anywhere else. The other girls are looking good and I've decided to flip them into flower today. Going to run them on an 11 on 13 off light schedule.

Built a really nice 4x5 scrog screen this week but scrapped it after I put it in the tent. No room to work on the plants and my 60 year old ass is getting a little stiff to try and limbo underneath it. Looks like it's going to be strings and stakes from here on out.

Have kept the girls on about 800 ppm/.5 scale and they seem happy so I'm going to leave well enough alone while they transition to flower.

The misses and I are leaving this afternoon for an Alaskan cruise to celebrate my 60th birthday. Be back on the 14th. Hopefully the next pics will show some pistils.

Peace,
starke

Today (Day 1 11/13):

Just a quick update. Got home from the Alaskan adventure a few hours ago. Waited patiently for the lights to kick on at 9:00AM. Received a pleasant surprise when I unzipped the door. The young lady who house-sat for us did a tremendous job with the feed schedule. The girls have grown like crazy during the last 8 days and have begun showing pistils. Flowering has officially begun. Going to pull the girls out tomorrow and defoliate the bottoms again and do a little branch bending on the taller stalks. Will put up some more pics then. Going to crash now - been years since I've had jet lag.

Today:

Awesome man. I have been hearing tons of horror stories recently from people who left friends or family to care for their plants while on vacation.
nice to come home to healthy plants in flower

starke · 08-19-2017, 08:03 PM

Today marks two weeks since the ladies were flipped to 11/13. Bent over the taller tops on the 15th and did some more lower level defoliation. I'm happy with the number of bud sites that have popped up and I am glad I did not top each of the plants a second time when I was thinking about it. The LST has worked well.

Still keeping the Maxibloom at around 800ppm/.5 and the ladies seem to be groovin' on it so I'm going to leave well enough alone for now. Next update in a week unless something fucks up.

8/14:
