Bentsticks Growings

Agree with you there, they set nets in front of the river mouths leading to spawning grounds, been more than one net boat sink at the dock over time.
As far our Sturgeon goes now, Fish and Wildlife (Feds) are talking about putting them on the endagered spieces list, its just dumb how can come up with these assnine ideas, DNR nets more than 1500 fish in the spawning grounds to tag and take eggs for reintroduction out of the 1500 this yr 400 where untagged so in a 10,000 acre lake it dont seem to me they are endangered, but as you say “what do I know”

Another week gone by, did a feed on Wed and today a water only PHed to 6.4 they seem happy, did some trimming on Wed, and added some LST clips to the WW to bring her down to level of the GDP thats setting on booster seat, things keep going as they are may flip to flower after the next feed which I believe to be Tues-Wed the way they are eating and drying out. Ended up catching the crude starting Thursday eve, felt ok Fri am went to work till noon collected my pay check, turned right around and went back home, but still feel ok, snotlocker is like a water fall no aches or pains just heavy chested, any way hope all weekend is stellar.

Flipped to 12/12 on Sunday raised lights 2 more clicks and PPF to 480 ish, fed Growtime nutes yesterday for last time, will be PHed water in a few days once pots dry out, then on to flowertime until done.

Have come to the relization, One plant to my tent this WW is going to be a beast, did some LST clips on her to open her up and damn its getting wide, the GDP is well pics speak for themselves, but healthy.
Been talking to wife and looks like a 5x5 maybe in the works for fall along with autopots, and coco(have a one pot system coming to try for next indoor) will be here next week.
Once this grow is dried, will be getting ready for summertime outdoor grow and veggies, will keep one plant in tent to learn the autopot.

Yes outdoors, can’t wait. Hope the weather is better than last year though. :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:. As for the auto pot, should be fun. I’m going to be trying bubble buckets or totes as soon as I get all the parts.
And these 2 look very healthy, should make some beautiful buds.

Morning all, the crude is on its way out finally!!!

Week 7 day 5, Feed the WW her first taste of FlowerTime nutes at 1023 ppm’s phed to 6.5 yesterday eve, The GDP is a slow drinker and she only gets water/nutes every other time compared the WW, did flip to 12/12 last Sunday, turned up lights when I fed yesterday to 510 average all seems to be moving along. Have a 6" ocillating fan in the tent now the cheapy I had was not cutting it.
I did receive a autopot XL 3 gal x 2 this week and my coco coir, still awaiting the perlite and wave maker, this will be for next go around as a test to autopots and if it is well liked I have a 6 pot xxl in cart for our porch veggie and Herb grow, just trying to expand our ability here at the house, we do plant a big garden at Wife’s uncle’s farm shared with a few others (15 miles) away.

Sunday update!
Went to check on the GDP to see if she was ready for a feed and was lite, so feed time. Decided to check weight of the WW pot and damn she was just as lite, so feed for GDP and just water for the WW since was fed Fri. WW has grown 1.5-2" since Friday afternoon, WOW she is feed and water hog, she has had almost 7.5 liters since Friday.

Week 8 since seed drop
Week 1 since flip 12/12
GDP ppm in 900 out 226
Ph in 6.3 out 5.9

WW water only
Tap well water 385 ppm in 162 out
Ph 6.3 in 5.8 out
In my thinking everything should be up’ed a bit everything looks green and happy, pistals are starting to show a presence. If these ladies are this thirsty and hungry I can’t wait to get autopots going next round, have give to you fellas, and ladies thar do many plants at once and keep up and keep your grows at top notch conditions. :+1: :beers:

Its Tues and as I thought Fed both they seem to be in feeding frensy both where dry as, so mixed up 9 liters of flowertime fertilizer at 1000 ppm and 6.5 ph, not to concerned with numbers butbthis has me scratching my head out was 2.25 ppt wtf ph was 5.9 so I figure I have to ph a lil higher but still dont understand why run off is in ppt instead of ppm like in is just dumbfounded but plants are doing great so as said I am not fretting. 9 days since 12/12 switch and ppfd is 567 going to do alittle lst clips agian this weekendto lower the WW canopy a bit.

Good Sunday am, Welp into week 9 since seed and 2 weeks since flipping to 12/12, did a lil trim job on both girls they was a getting a lil thick also added some LST clips to flaten top out and bring canopies to sameish level, did a feeding this am,
WW received 4.5 liters of 1000 ppm/6.6 in and had 295 ppm/5.7 out, need to give more PH in I believe.
GDP received 3 liters of 1040 ppms/6.6 ph in and 200 ppms/6.0 ph out will also bump the ph up a lil.
They are doing well no issues that I can see as of yet, buds are getting noticeable on WW and just starting to show on GDP.
Last feed it was suggested I up the ppms and took advice, leave tips on some of the WW started to show limits but went back to green so I assume I am getting close on it.
PPF is in the 617-620 range for average.
Without further ado here is the weekend pics
