Day 46
All looking really healthy
The Blueberry started flowering a few days ago and the Diesel Drift wasn't far behind. The Zkittlez looks like it'll start in the next couple of days, but the Nicole Cream Auto on the other hand, that doesn't even look close to flowering any time soon
The DD has really stretched as well the last few days, she's only 30in, but so much so that I had to double over the wire hangers on the light, that gave me another couple of inches or so, but if she stretches any more, I'll have to find another way of hanging the bugger. But apart from that no other changes as yet, but I'll start the 2 flowering girls on more of a bloom feed next time.

Do Si Dos (Day 27)

Auto Cookies (Day 57) is still plodding along nicely and starting to get a little frosty.

It's getting like a jigsaw trying now to fit em in and take em out without breaking anything, I can definitely see a few broken colas by the time I'm done

Till the next episode? Peace and Good Grows to All

Day 49 (unless specified)
I tied a bit of string round each of them today and I should, fingers crossed, just have enough space to fit in a couple of 2ltr bottles and a solo cup on the 1st It's gonna b tight and I'm probably going to have to prop them up on something, so they're closer to the light, but hopefully It'll be ok
The DD and Blueberry are fully into flower mode and the Zkittlez has started putting out those wispy pistil things (pre-flowers), so she should start properly any day now, but still waiting on the Nicole Cream Auto, it's day 39 and still not started The DD had a couple of branches that were a few inches taller than the rest, so I super cropped them, or super broke them we'll find out in a few days which. I've never done it before so I don't know what to expect, but 8hrs later the buds have sprung back upright but the branches are still bent over. I haven't tied them down, so we'll see how they are tomorrow. I'll try and get a better picture then

Are those plants ever happy and healthy! You should be fine on the super crop if they are growing up so fast again. I have tried super cropping, and the bud sites took so long to start up again I stopped doing it, but in a pinch it's a great method (like your scenario).
It is supposed to boost yield, and can also help by slowing the extra vigorous branches down.

Thanks RG, so far so good It wasn't till after I'd done it, I read you are supposed to do it before they start flowering, oops
Oh well, we live and learn I suppose we'll find out together if it works or not, but I'm hopeful she'll be ok. I've snapped branches almost completely off before and after sticking back together they were fine, so we'll see

@The Mugwamp This looks to be the best grow I’ve seen yet of yours. Your plants are off to a great start and definitely structured well and healthy. I’d say you’re in for a banner harvest if you keep them on the rails. If it gets real tight in there be sure to give them a haircut and some good air movement. Well done amigo

That's it mate, what's the worst that can happen have a Happy New Year

Haha, I always try and give them more room, but then I cram my tents full. I managed to get my 4x8 full and I got more plants that need to be flipped. Seemed like a good idea to get a bigger tent so a human could work in it

I've seen people supercrop lots in flower, that's when you usually get surprised by a branch taking off. I'm sure she will be fine
In any case, I have killed and messed up so many plants but I learned the most that way. Still not proud

Day 53 (unless specified)
All looking good still, which is lucky as I only realised yesterday when feeding, that I've been giving them a full strength feed I usually just give them half of what it says on bottle, but I must of forgotten, as it's the first grow where I've been making up 10ltr at a time but so far they look ok apart from 1 that has a bit of tip burn, so I might just dial it down a bit and see how they get on.
The Nicole Cream is finally getting round to flowering, just about. I couldn't be arsed waiting for her, so she's been on a bloom feed for the last few days
Nicole Cream Auto (Day 42)

The DD is still the tallest and widest and the two branches I cropped, are slowly trying to get upright again, so I may tie them down a bit tomorrow. Starting to get a little frosty too
Diesel Drift

The Zkittlez is looking ok and has started flowering, a little behind the DD and Blueberry but not as far as the auto, that should of started before the photos
Zkittlez

The Blueberry is coming along pretty well, considering she was topped at the 1st node she doesn't look to much different to the rest, well apart from being smaller and a nice triangular shape, which makes it a bit easier to fit in tight spaces and it's getting pretty tight in there now
Blueberry

Do Si Dos is doing alright, getting pretty wide, but still quite short, for now. I'm going to have to tie her up soon, before she gets any wider.
Do Si Dos (Day 34)

Auto Cookies is not to far off now, it's a shame I had to put her on a 12/12 cycle, as she probably would of filled out a bit better on a normal 18/6, oh well, it's still a nice candelabra of buds
Auto Cookies (Day 64)

The first 2 out of the 3 seeds I started germing, for the battles that started on the 1st, had fair sized tails today so they have been planted in there new homes, a 2ltr milk bottle and a solo cup and the 3rd seed had just popped out a tiny weiner before I went to bed, so I'll stick her in her 2ltr milk bottle tomorrow and try and shoehorn her in with the rest, should b fun and I may b moving even sooner than I hoped, 2 or 3 weeks time, so that should be interesting trying to move this lot, especially with most in flower oh well, what will be will be

Till the next time, peace and good grows to all
