Thanks man

It’s never too late to buy another tent. What are you talking about? :laughing:

I currently have a 4x4 that is unused, but in 2 weeks my photos will be in there. I have no issue buying another tent, but that means more lights more fans another inline fan/filter lol

Yeah the “I don’t have enough outlets in the room” problem is what’s getting me right now. Only 2 outlets with 2 plugs each, so I’m running everything on 4 power strips. It feels very sketch. I don’t have enough electrical room for another tent. Even though I need one. :rofl:

I had the same issue, but I went to lowes and bought a $40 power strip that has 10 outlets on it. Pretty heavy dude one. I bought one for each tent.

Add up your Max Amp Draw on the stuff plugged in, check the breaker that feeds, most residential are 15 or 20A circuits for convenience power.
The LED lights help at 5-6A per 600W, the old HPS/BMH 1000W pulled almost 10A alone with a good spike when the transformer had to heat up those lamps.

Yeah I have an 8 outlet strip that’s full with the fans, exhaust, air pump, water pump. :rofl: other strip is a 6 outlet but it’s only got 4 used (for my lights) and that’s how I know I must need more light. :laughing:

Yeah I have no clue. I sort of suspect both outlets are on two different breakers because I haven’t tripped anything yet and the location of one of the outlets is suspiciously close to the upgraded electrical box out back. But I’ll find out when I trip a breaker. Chances are higher that I’ll end up taking over another room before I add that much power to a single outlet. I’m wary of too many extension cords/Power strips.

Everything is looking good this morning. @Pet_de_Chien do you think I should do some more defoliation or wait? Here’s some top shots for visual.

Looks pretty damn good from my perspective. I’d let them go for a while, unless you see anything down low that is is full shade, then its really not doing anything. You can do the tuck move for a while if some fans shoot up and block a budsites…you are in a few days of cruise and watch. Looking great!

Ok I have been tucking as much as I can. This morning I removed 3 leaves total from the tent because they were causing moisture build up from resting on top of other leaves.

You can always take fan leaves if they are blocking the light or air flow.

Well I had to remove all of the red LST clips I had on because they were starting to choke out the stalks. I could barely get them off that’s how thick the stalks have gotten since I put them on. I did a pot weight check on 6 or 7 of them and they were very light so it looks like I’ll be feeding tomorrow again. A couple of them won’t get watered for another couple days because they are pretty heavy and have had droopy leaves since last watering. I knew they weren’t ready to be watered yet, but I still did it. My cola with the splint on it didn’t make it. The leaves all shriveled up and started turning brown and the stalk was completely brown. I didn’t want it to cause any damage to the plant so I just removed it.

Let the stacking begin! This is the exciting part of the grow. They are doing their night time droop 30 min before lights out.


The cola I broke and had to remove. It sucks because it had 3 fat tops on it. Oh well.

Don’t you love the drama of these ladies?

I have one plant who always makes me feel so horrid when I forget to water her on time. So droopy.

They’re looking lovely, can’t believe how far they’ve gotten already!

That does suck but hey! Better to sacrifice the one to save the many. You’re right if she was turning for the worse, better to just save the energy for bud production.

How is quarantine going?

They are definitely dramatic!! Lol they have crazy mood swings.

Thanks man. I can’t believe it either. They seem to be progressing so fast, but its my first grow so I’m sure this is just a normal progression haha.

Yeah I figured it can stop stressing over that top and spread positive vibes to the rest of the buds.

Quarantine is going alright I guess. It’s hard to stay away from the tent because I am stuck here. I actually left them alone for 12 hours today though haha. I went and got a covid test yesterday and I was negative thankfully, but since I’m not vaccinated I have to Quarantine for 10 days (was around someone who tested positive).

Oh that’s insane. I know state employees need to get tested once a week if they’re not vaccinated but I don’t think they have to quarantine if they’re negative.

It gets old doesn’t it? I’ve had 3 in the last couple of weeks - I don’t think my nostrils can take another one without bleeding copious amounts by now :sweat_smile:

I can’t even do that when I’m not stuck at home :rofl: I check em every morning and every night.

It may or may not be. I mean everything sort of operates between 8 and 12 weeks I think but it can definitely be the faster or slower end of that spread. Seems like yours are eager to be on the faster end.

Yeah man led lights and USB fans has sure changed the game :rofl:.

So I snapped the main stalk on 2 of my autos, one healed and the other didn’t, both plants are smaller then the others in overall size right…
But, they are way ahead of the rest and have some good looking buds!
The Gorilla glue that healed.



It’s odd because the GG that broke is way ahead of the 2 GG I got that didn’t. The other two are huge compared to it. And they are just barely starting to flower. The one that broke is well into flower :man_shrugging:

Here’s the Girl scout cookie extreme that didn’t heal it.
It has the fattest nugs of all 7 so far (this one is 3 days older then the other one so it does got a little time on it but just 3 days)



Here’s the rest if you’re interested.

They are looking great!! I wonder if one of the phenotypes of the GG is shorter and more compact. I have the same thing happening. My one GG is way smaller than the rest, but is further ahead in the flowering process than the others. The buds are over double the size of all the other GG. @1HappyPappy what week of flower are you in? How’s the Bruce Banners doing compared to the others 2 strains?

Really not sure what week exactly, all of them showed sex by like 3 weeks so being autos idk how to figure it :man_shrugging:

But Bruce is right in the middle I guess, just starting to kinda stack up. Size wise it’s about the same as the GSCE and sorta small compared to the GG
