Grandpa grow!

that coming from @Aqua Man and @MiGrampa gives me hope! lol Thanks guys :)
@Skinnypuppy80 - growing cannabis is a relatively straight forward process. However, growing world class cannabis is a different story and that is what we are teaching you how to grow ... world class weed! You're learning what its all about and you will be there sooner than you think.
 
Salutations all! Day 32 since in the system and only 4 days in the flip. Forgot to take pics today, but they r getting tall and bushy! I think I should probably do a water change tmrw or the next? I have yet to do one. Ppm dropped from 450 to 400 in 2 days, has never dropped like that b4. Probably cuz they r growing like a weed in the stretch lol Also, a little late in the grow, but how can I lst them in buckets? Just buy some of those plastic pieces that clip on the stems? Thanks for looking u beautiful ppl!

i use the coated wire, it works well. velcro also works great too as a second option or in combo with the wire.

@Stoneyluv So I have a roll of plant velcro already, but I guess my question I should've asked is, where/how to anchor down on?

ahh i got ya.. well if ya lift the lid to check the roots or other things you should tie down to that lid. maybe just glue some plastic hooks or zip ties to it.. Grumpazz put eye hooks in his lids and he really liked having them to use..

another option might be a wire table with legs that you lower over the plant like a scrog screen in a way.

a lot of times i just like to use a stronger branch to keep a weaker one to the side, thsi way the plant cans till be moved around while still holding its shape.

but honestly if you're just looking for something quick and easy and just want it for now and will remove later, then i would just duct tape something to the bucket or something like that.

Don't really wanna drill the lids at this stage of growth, so I'll try to gorilla tape something on the lids. These lids aren't cheap to replace and I don't want to risk getting strands of ppe into the system? I dunno... sounds like temporary structures r best till after harvest and then I'll put eye hooks in the lids. I have 3 trellis nets, but I waited to long to implement 1 for it to work on the shorter plants that need the lst. Thanks for the ideas!

then use "Command" hooks to make your anchor points. They are 100% removable.


You can also use pipe cleaners and tie the plant down to its own main stem.
 
Salutations all! Day 8 into the stretch. The gorilla roadkill remain to b the larger plants but still happy with the dantes inferno size. I think I'll throw up a net and start tucking the GR under it for a more uniformed canopy?
The GR

The DI... The first pic is of one that I snapped a lower branch. It didn't snap off so I tried tying it back but I'm assuming I'm wasting my time?

It's hard to believe how much they have grown since arriving in those bottles. Your grow is looking really good.

Keep up the good work!
All thanks to you! Appreciate ur kind gesture. Looking forward to my next harvest!!

You're welcome for the favor. However, the way the plants look today has been your work and it really does look good so far! Here's a hint on the Gorilla Roadkill. She will turn a lot of colors, especially purple as she matures. Don't rush your harvest on this one. She will be well worth your wait!
 
@MiGrampa It's a team effort in my mind. The gifts along w the advice were pretty important. Can't wait for the end result!

On the Dante's Inferno ... mine are reaching maturity faster than I expected. Its day 57 of flower. I will be harvesting them most likely next weekend. I was checking trichomes with my wifi digital microscope last night and we're getting really close. For me, in soil ... about 64 days is what its looking like. Yours might finish a few days sooner in hydro.

64 days in total or 64 since the flip/flowerr?

64 days of 12/12 light cycle is what I am guessing. We're at day 57 today. I didn't post pictures this morning because we had to leave to head to a birthday party in the neighboring state for a couple of my grandchildren. We were celebrating April birthdays today. We enjoyed that time! But I didn't take pictures before we left. Here's a couple of pictures from last weekend.

Salutations all! Into day 20 of flip and just been chugging along without problems yet if u don't count that I snapped a 2nd branch almost clear off and the height differences as I fucked up topping. Instead of just taking of the top of the growth, I straight up cut the stem just below the growth on 3 of em b4 I realized I was making a mistake lol
They are all showing bud sites though and leaves look good minus some light burn on the 2 taller ones

I can't remember all the environmental parameters I should have at this stage but they have fluctuating quite a bit since some days(outside) are like 75° and the next day could be 65°. Time to just vent outside, install the ac, and get a duey? Reminder, my tent is in my bedroom on a 2nd floor apartment 😀

For me the air conditioner also serves as a dehumidifier.
I haven't had a dehumidifier in 2 years I think.
