Howzit. Got yourself a grow there in lockdown?
-
I was not ready.
-
I decided on doing the flip today Did another defoliation in preparation and there is good light penetration throughout the plants. I took a brix reading again, ladies are still sitting at around a brix level of 5. So far in veg I've only recorded a measurement of 5 throughout. I am expecting it to rise as the preflower stage begins. Before Defoliation After Defoliation

Got some more pics for you @PsyCLown. Leaving the switch to after the weekend. Also bumped the EC up to 1.1 and running the LED at just below 200W. It was suggested to me to run at 160W during grow and flower but I want to see what the extra oomph will do. Honestly just kinda playing around.

So we got an extension to the end of this month of April. How we doing? I personally just got mentally prepared for the last little bit until the extension. I am out of weed, sad. Busy re-vaping daft that I have luckily been collecting, but what a shit experience that is, basically just keeps the withdrawal away. Minor withdrawals though. Surprise tolerance break anyone? But that's light stuff in comparison to a lot of people's problems now. I am fortunate, I'm still a lighty with parents that can hold me up. This is a serious screwup and I hope government allows some relaxation for some work to be done. I am so stir crazy guys, jissis.

Thanks @PsyCLown, always appreciate the input Yeah no scrog net this time. Too much of a mission with a DWC and lid top. I'll do a scrog again when I build my RDWC system later on. I don't want to train anymore in terms of bending the plants. One undercover goal of this grow is to find out how the plants grow specifically with just the amount of training I have already done. The differences in height was an overlooked error and another lesson learnt. Not too fussed on yield this time around, so I might just flip early and make like a bonsai type deal The 250W Quantum Board LED is comparable to the 250W MH bulb I used to use, easily. The ability to also lower the wattage is great with seedlings too. Overall I would recommend the QB over a 250W MH any day. The real comparison will be in flower I rate. Super excited.

I am busy trying to decide when to make the flip. I can make the flip anytime from now and I'd be happy with the yield. Both plants are fully mature, however I foresee a potential problem and that is the heights of the to plants. The Royal Gorilla is much more short and stout than the GDP. My thinking is to maybe flip tomorrow to limit the amount of stretch the GDP will have over the Royal Gorilla. They will never be at level canopy height, so inevitably the GDP will get more light than the Royal Gorilla at the end. This may have convinced me to keep the same strain in small tents like this if one is going to do more than one plant. Going to think on it for the day then make the call tomorrow.

Definitely looks like that, just recently came off a spot of the 'ol N-toxicity myself with one of my plants. Came alright after a flush, so I am sure you have it under control

Took an opportunity to take a pic of the manifold of each plant so far. I am very happy with the initial structure. They will be expected to hold up 8 mighty colas each RQS GDP
-
Worked a bit on the reservoirs today. Keeping the GDP at it's current happy level of 0.4 EC and now that the Royal Gorilla has recovered I am going to raise the EC to match the GDP at 0.4 EC. Also took some big fan leaves off both plants which were blocking some growth nodes. Pictures below also give an idea of what it looks like when I need access to the reservoir water.

They probably have the luxury of a humidity controlled environment too. So for us small scales boys, from the above, it sounds like you would first look at climate like @Prom mentions and secondly look at the plant itself, to see whether the buds have many sugar leaves or not that would make a dry trim difficult, like @Bospatrollie2 says. Climate right now is still quite humid, so one would opt for a wet trim? But then risk less terpene profiles. If that is not desired, then dry trim. One could work a way to maybe dry the harvest at a lower humidity somehow? I usually just hang my harvest in the same tent it grew in with the exhaust system on low and a small fan blowing on low against the side at the bottom of the tent. Although I have always wet trimmed, which I am now considering changing

Too much time spent with the ladies Got everything locked in now so don't need to pay much attention at the moment. Just letting them do their thing. Which leaves me with even less to do. I am beginning to ponder how I personally could enter an industry of generating income at home. All of a sudden people are doing it in industries otherwise thought not possible. I want in. Are courier services even operating?

Then delete your thread and gtfo. Waste of time.

Post pics. I want to know what you consider "the latest and most proven brands and gear".

Pre-Training Got a good response from the Royal Gorilla and sufficient growth from both plants to do the toppings today and some defoliation. Post-Training Had to swap out the twisty ties on the Royal Gorilla with some sturdier coated wire to hold down the low stress training. The Royal Gorilla is developing some really thick beefy stems and growth points, shorter and thicker than the GDP, both training very well right. From here it's a matter of maintaining the spread and training of the plants as they get sturdier and bigger, occasional defoliation and keeping them happy. It's up from here! Royal Gorilla: GDP:
-
Dankie maijie Yes I do. I have modified the lids so that they easily and effortlessly pop off the top and just slide to the side without tipping or anything in order to check/adjust pH and such. I can remove the plant with the lid and it's roots entirely into another cooler box that I keep in order to do just this if need be. Only ever need to do this the few times I flush the res entirely. Not too much of a mission when they are bigger but definitely a big push to build the RDWC system the next run.

I am not liking what's going on with the Royal Gorilla. She isn't handling the rise in EC as well as the GDP. I believe she is suffering from an early onset of nitrogen toxicity which has developed into a minor case. I did a reservoir flush on both plants by first adding GHE FloraKleen to the reservoirs for 24hrs and then flushing and reseting them with new nutes and RO water. I have also dropped the EC on the Royal Gorilla. Sitting at an EC of 0,2 just until I feel it is ready again to rise the EC. GDP is sitting at an EC of 0.6 and is loving it. Plants should have enough growth by tomorrow or Sunday for the next topping and defoliation. Should also see a response from the Royal Gorilla in that time but I do not expect the current growth to recover. I will be mostly looking at the colour and speed of the new growth and then adapt from there. Once the old growth is defoliated at the time of topping the response should be a bit more clear.

That damn stretch not keen on a scrog net at all?
-
I decided to cut the first large fan leaves off tonight. They just looked so jutt. I believe I definitely pushed the EC on the seedlings a bit too high at first. The Royal Gorilla hasn't quite recovered as well as the GDP. I am getting slightly more stretch on the GDP, and some thick beefy joints on the Royal Gorilla. The manifold foundations are building up nicely, looking forward to the potential weight they will hold These leaves looked monstrous to me on such short plants. Otherwise, still on track to top at the end of the week.

I'm so far down the rabbit-hole of conspiracies that a part of me thinks this disease doesn't even exist and this is a world case of mass hysteria. Some peeps think this is related to 5G some believe that QAnon has been pretty spot on with regards to the deep state within the US administration. Bioweapon? Experiment gone wrong? US army releasing it in Wuhan? Maybe the Reptilians are playing games with us. F'ckin who knows

Sorry my dude. I know I suggested the EcoBuz and it's a shit one that it did not work as intended. Hoping the next season is kinder
