Update Day 33:
Things have been going a lot smoother now. I'm not seeing anymore flies, I've got my temps dialed in, and I'm starting to get my nutrient scheduled dialed in as well.
I did have a little hiccup LST'ng one of my plants where I broke the top stalk. I was able to duct tape it back together and it's growing strong!
I'm noticing a big difference between my plants. I've got 3 that are shorter, bushier, and just starting to flower. These 3 were much smaller when I started LST'ng them vs the others. The 3 larger plants are much taller, more spacing between nodes, and already growing mini buds lol. They are all the same age, same conditions, and some are even the same strain so I'm a little confused on the difference. The only thing I can think of is different phenotype or maybe my light isn't dispersing? I'm quite baffled really. Also, I've noticed some of the smaller plants, like my Mazar for example, the leaves seem droopy. I'm wondering if these plants need bloom nutes and that's why they're not flowering as much as the others because they need more flowering nutes than the others? Just a wild guess though. Any opinions would be welcome.
None the less they are all looking extremely healthy. There are a few brown spots here or there on some of the lower leaves due to water splashing up when I feed them. I haven't trimmed any leaves yet and am reluctant to do so. Also, have accidentally tore a few leaves trying to move the pots around.
My only concern at this point is space and time. Now that I'm growing 2 photo seedlings and the one bagseed in a 2 liter coke bottle it's going to get pretty crowded. Im trying to keep the photos as small as possible by stunting them in smaller containers. My hope is as soon as the autos are done I can clone off the photos and have another harvest 2 months later. That of course ties into time. Most of my seeds are supposed to be done between 60-70 days. I realize this is probably not accurate though. I'm hoping to be able to start harvesting by 9/15. That would be approximately 70 days for my 60 day plants. I realize some autos can actually take up to a full 12 weeks but I need some good weed and even the leaves from these plants would be 10 times better than the shit you get around these parts lol. Ultimately I will rely on the plants to tell me because I'd much rather wait a few weeks for a better product if its necessary.
Finally, THE SMELL!!! These girls are smelling amazing! You can easily smell the difference between each strain. My favorite is of course the berry Ryder followed by the critical jack. Unfortunately the increasing smell is a bad thing too. It's usually only strong when the tent first turns on after being in the dark for 6 hours. I literally stand outside the exhaust vent and inhale it The smell literally creeps up from my basement to the main floor of my house. It does only last about an hour and then we get it under control with spray and air wick plug ins. I can't imagine how intense it will get over the next few weeks. I just need to hold it off until 8/15 and then I can finally order my filter and fan speed controller. Until then ill just have to buy more plug ins and spray lol
I did water/feed them all today. I increased from 2 cups to 4 cups of water each. I'm finally getting some runoff now. I did have to mix 2 gallons of feed which was a lot more time consuming. I see a 5 gallon water jug in my near future. I included the following per gal in my feed today:
1tblspn molasses
1tsp epsom salt
1tblspn big bloom
1tblsln grow big
As you can see I've bumped my Grow Big up to full strength this week. I'm trying to go for one more big growth spurt before I switch to flower nutes. I'm planning to give them straight water in Friday and then feed them again on Sunday with Tiger Bloom included. I will also switch from my Mh to Hps bulb on Sunday too. Any suggestions on my schedule would be appreciated.
Last question..would you guys suggest running a separate journal for my 2 photo seedlings or should I just run them on this same journal?
And here's the pics....
Berry Ryder 1
Berry Ryder 2 (the runt with a duct tape splint)
Berry Ryder 3 ( my biggest and furthest)
Blue Cheese (sometimes the leaves look slightly blue under the MH compared to the others. Not sure if I'm seeing things or if this is a trait of this strand)
Mazar ( the droopy bush)
Critical Jack (the stretchiest one must be the sativa in her?)
And the group

Hey man everything looks great, Mazars look a little bit droopy all the time from my last experience with them its just there big leaves on those little stems is all, if you get me.
I ment earlier that if you find a purple stem the leaf it tends to look droopy compared to a normal stem in my experience, sorry for the lack of explaination there.
Your saying some are behind compared to others and they are mostly the same age? Do you reckon you might have stuned any at the start?
I only ask because i stunned my Mazars last grow and they stayed small for a long time i thought i was going to get a small like 33g yield., then they shot up and were the biggest plants at the end.

Thanks!
I think I understood what you meant about the purple stems. I didn't really notice any purple stems. They just seem like they're a little behind the other plants. I did stunt the Berry Ryder 1 from the beginning. Plus I broke the stalk on it lol. The Mazar might just take a bit longer like you said. The Berry Ryder 2 seems a bit behind the Berry Ryder 3 for no apparent reason though. Eh either way they're looking amazing! I can't stop drooling over them
And I'd be stoked for 33g off 1 plant lol
very nice bro
Thanks! I can't believe how well everything's coming together. Invested about $500 so far but 6 plants will easily return that
Looking good man, time to start packing on the weight now. :stylez rasta smoke:
