Finished cleaning up and feeding these girls week 6. Wondering when GP1 will get to flower lol. I guess time will tell.
I have a question though. I know you may not know but @Newt might.
I know you said to use flowers kiss up UNTIL flower. But it shows on the chart to use through week 12. Should I continue using this every week until harvest?

Greetings, son.
I would not use this after buds start forming as to get any near my buds that I would smoke. The smell and all I say no way. Sorry that my opinion. I donāt trust to inhale, thats why I grow my own.
Take care.

Got you my man!
Would you say to turn my lights up to 100% not that they are in flower? Trying to stick to recommendations of the lights!

Another question I have is should I keep the yarn thatās pulling the branches down until harvest ? Or when can I pull those off? Itāll make it so much easier to water her tooš

Greetings, son.
Sorry I had to feed my girls this a.m. man they drink a 1/2 gallon of nutrients a day. Big as can be, twice that of soil for the age.
To answer your questions.
The lights measure your lux with your meter you can gave 15,000 to 50,000 lumins at veg. Watch your light height for burn. Your light may not put out that much some donāt, so whatever you can do measurements are you best advice.
As far as removing your yarn. They havenāt done the stretch yet, so I would becareful with your height, as you know of burning from the last time. I donāt know your tent so you have to decide. Most streching can be 1/4 the height, when they let loose.
I just use my little watering can for plants it takes a little more time but in soil you want a slow application so it just doesnāt run off with out getting the soil wet. This soil repells water very bad. Slow is better.
Take care.

I donāt ever spray anything on my flowers. They say you can, but I donāt want to take chances with potency, or flavor.

Hey man! How are you doing? Things are sort of looking up for me! I have an interview at a in town construction/roofing company. Not my expertise but canāt get a welding job here right now to save my life.
My girls are doing very well. GP1s leaves are slowly becoming more green. You know those little strips on the leaves of darker green when sheās overcoming the overwatering? Thatās what she is going through Iām pretty sure.
Fed GP2 her second feeding of week 6.
I accidentally followed the wrong damn chart again (the one in the book I have). Not a big deal but added the extra 1 tsp of tiger bloom I missed.
Sheās smelling very mature right now lol. Turned up the light to 100% and is about 17ā away from the top of the highest cola. Took away the stand GP1 was on because she doesnāt need as much light as GP2 right now.

Greetings son.
I will continue to keep you in prayer for your work health and salvation. I am very happy for you. Are you getting unemployment insurance?
Your plants are beautiful and coming along nice. Donāt worry about the extra nutrients but be careful with that tiger bloom it is the most powerful stuff in the foxfarm nutrients. You are adding Probably Beastie Bloom by now and along with the tiger bloom is a good bud building nutrients.
Yeah over watering can be harmful for a period of time and sometimes the plant canāt recover. The 1 inch method along with lifting the pot is a gold standard.
You have wonderful bud development going on. You should as I said previously should have a nice harvest.
My 2 hydroponics girls are eating me out of house and home. They are consuming 1/2 gallon a piece a day. I when and bought 20 gallons of distilled water this morning for the next week. They are huge and the one called Froot by the Foot has big flowers on it at 6 weeks. The Tricross is just now forming hers, but are average count. The runt in the soil is playing catch up but is finally going to make it, we shall see. I have 4 other seedlings started and they have 2 nodes developed.
I really love growing cannabis it occupies my time in between Drās appointments. Keeps my mind off of my issues. I wish I could use it again, but I had a piss test on Thursday for hospice which they monitor.
Take care.

Okay this all makes sense. And yes I will be adding beastie bloom next feeding.
Any idea why your plants are eating so much?

Greetings, son.
Hydroponics is my first go around. However they have a masive root ball just taking up nutrients and water non stop and with all of the plant veg above emissions of moisture into the air as it grows is the reason I feel. The plant for 6.5 weeks is huge compared to one that would be in soil. I as you saw in some previous pics have grown so big girls in soil but strain has alot to do with it. Think this was a fish in a tank can only grow as big as its environment same as a plant. You grow a cannabis plant in a 10 gallon pot now you have something to see, check out this clip.
Take care son prayers.

Greetings, son.
I wanted to give you a up date on my girls. 2 in hydroponics at 6.5 wks. and others in dirt. My runt as I said @ 5 weeks is finally taking its path to a small but mighty plant. Others in seedling starting 2 nodes.
Tomorrow is a big feed day for all. I will burn thru 12 gallons of distilled water.
Here are my girls up date pics.
Take care. HAPPY EASTER!

Checking on my girls this morning and yet giving more nutrient water, 1/2 gallon each per day as I said previously. My soil grows which I thought were fast are slow to hydroponics, I canāt believe the speed of growth. One I will show a pic is just truning 7 weeks old and is streching and developed nice buds already. I am hopeful of a 10 week plant as far as harvesting. I have had several of my strains projects come in at 10 weeks before but I never grew this one so I donāt know waht to expect.
Take care son let me know about your interview, remember the Lord is good he will provide.

Thank you I really appreciate it! It went good in my opinion but heās said that heās still interviewing people. In my opinion Employers here in van wert donāt seem to like young people Iām not sure why. It goes well until they see I graduated in 23.
Anyways your plants look really good! That was a lot of watering you did lol. Thatās insane. I hope all is well for you and your health!

Follow up with a phone call thanking him of taking his time to see you.
Also send a letter thanking your old employer for allowing you to have worked there even saying sorry for your and his not seeing eye to eye.
When you get the job always be early and itās yes sir and no sir. Yes mam and no mam. This has kept me employed and allowed me to be trusted for more positions.
It is ruff being young I was there myself married at 17 and in the service at 17 got out and still could not buy a beer in Pennsylvania at 21. I was in during the Vietnam era and at the cold war over in Europe. I came home in a small town and had a child and had a very hard time even surviving building house repairs and keep my family fed. The Lord takes care of us.
Take care son I understand.

Thank you! I always make sure to use my manners. That is really crazy. Thank you for your serviceš
When I got out of high school I had a plan of going into the marine corps. I had recruiter and everything. Went to the ASVAB. Then I got denied because I had broken my collarbone and I have a metal screw in my shoulder. Even had my head all buzzed down for a good year lol.
Anyways I did follow up with a phone call!
Called an old employer I did have that I know is very found of me. It was a high school employer for a concrete/hot rubber crack filling company. They are looking for help and he said he will get ahold of me when he gets back into town. Itās a travel job so Iām hoping my girls will be alright. Or I may take a break from growing if Iām out for a while. Pretty sure if all fails at the roofing place I will get the job there.
Take care!

Thank you for trying to go in the service.
I know what youāre going thru but yesterday I was 18 trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up you never know where life takes you. I never turned down work and always watched people work learning and knowing I could do what they were doing.
Prayers for you. Travel isnāt bad I didnāt mind to bad but had a wife. I spent my last 20 years living out of a suitcase, but the money enabled me to be able to rest and retire which is much needed now in bad health. The girls will always be there.
Take care rest easy.

How are you this a.m.?
I been thinking about your girls snd travel. You may be able to get away with doing this. Water well like you do a normal feeding on Friday evening, say you are leaving Monday morning, mix up your gallon jugs on Sunday night and feed them before you leave. Then feed again on Friday night and keep this going this way.
This should be fine for 4 to mature plants.
With seedling just on Sunday nights. It takes a long time for a seedling to suck up a 5 gallon pot of nutrients.
Pray all is well.
Take care
