The plants are set for me to leave them for 6 days. The 3 in the half gallon pots moved to 3 gal bags in auto pots.

The 4 in one gallon pots will be moved into 5 gallon bag auto pots when I get back, their roots will be in the bottom. In the mean time they will bottom feed from the tray. I love this thing, pretty handy. I could buy 2 more and do a SOG in a bunch of small pots , thinking on it for a future grow.

These are moving along, this was taken 11 days ago.

I have a plant sitter to check on res ph and levels. Made it easy for her, 2 buckets are ready if I run low.

Everyone is happy hope don’t get sad cause you’re leaving

[Bentstick]

You shall do well and don’t fret enjoy your time on vaca…

I think they like me leaving them alone. I have done this a few times now, but anxiety kicks in a bit leaving them for this long.

[Lightbrightt2010]

Yeah they are our babies lol but even they need a break

I moved the 1 gal pots into 5 gal auto pots bags. I will top in a few days, give them a day or 2 after transplant to recover.

The 3x3 plants were topped and spread out some. I have no room for clones so no saved cuttings.

The trip with the family was great. Learned about June Gloom in San Diego, I did not see the sun in 6 days there and no rain. The Marine layer was thick.

I gave the remaining 4 their turn at training. Going for 6 or 8 mains on each plant, that worked for me last grow, keeps the tent somewhat open. That gets me about 4 oz a plant. The window on switching to 12/12 for this grow off is Jul 5 thru Jul 19, I will be flipping on the 5th.

White Truffle update. A bit of a mixup in the grow off and some got autos, me included. I am good with it, they are doing really well. I gave them photo period style training with multiple up pots on 4 of them and topped and bent and they never slowed down. I am glad I got through that without causing a really early flower . When I realized they started to flower, I upped the lights and nutes. Just have to go with the flow.

Thanks @SeaOhAreWhy and @Dman1969 .
Weekend just about started.

Last night the wife and I went to the local cars n cones show. I decided to enter the Miata and see what happens. I won best import sports car, admittedly I was surrounded by Vettes, Mustangs and various other American muscle cars, so not many import, but the win was fun and a nice trophy.

The gull wing pictured is worth a few million. I was surprised to see one, really rare Mercedes. I did thank him for driving it and not hiding it in a garage .

The plants are growing inches per day, the stretch is on.

[Bentstick]

Nice going Patrick…

[SausageMahoney]

Nice car. Used to race some spec miatas. Wife had a 91 hardtop convertible. Nice clean grow as well.
