Mars FC 6500 Rack Shot
Mars FC 6500 Rack Shot
I hope people are following I dumped a lot of photos lol
I thought at first I was going to get some great fade shots
it did happen but first there was another Mars Hydro Rack shot to do.
Did it and noticed that the logo on the rack does not pop.
Not even done in black. I notice it in the reviewed photos
then went back to re-shoot with stickers on the rack.

The Fade
The Fade
I found these colas on the left side of my tent, Bucks 1 & 3
Each showing signs of fade, bringing out the beautiful colors.
I know I had to hold back, so that in another week the larger colas will catch up with these.
week 13 now, week 14 is where we need a definitive decision.
I am willing to entertain any suggestions on how long one can let these go.

Thank you Palindrome
It is cramped in there because of the table to lift, so all these girls are at nearly
60 degrees before the vertical growth.
Most autos could be done this way.
This time it was a problem solved with a thin bar rack light by Mars Hydro
The Rack can go all the way to the top.
Rachet them up in all 4 corners,
then use some small cord and tie a couple of knots all around the rack
to secure it right to the top, and your polls will allow airflow.
Gaining 4 to 5 inches of headroom lost to all other LED lights tested.
So that is why I had not chopped much, to save it as it grew.
Now with a week left.
It seems to enjoy the light at 80%

A lovely forest of colas you have. How's it smell in there?

the smell, how can I describe, lemony to the point but not too pungent, like a little weakened lemon pledge, a slight mix of lemon and homey I think .. I love the smell and I hear a nice waterfall and I just want to relax with the girls.
Wish we had smellavision so I could make a 6-second video for all to enjoy as I do.

ok, I had not received any message on cull the ripe one(s) now or not.
So at lights out I will ninja inside under green light.
To remove all wires so at before lights on, I remove the one bucket lid & plant.
Maybe get some clean shots of the whole plant before I cut her up.
The rest in a week maybe.
