Yeah, correct. My bad. Work is taking its toll, will update shortly.

Looking nice and healthy bud!

Looking great!

Looking a decent amount healthier this week. Cold week up ahead, but overall happier looking plants. The one that I re-topped is doing well and probably the best (back centre). But front right is also looking nice and bushy and healthy.

Thanks bud, really appreciate that. Its a pity as I prepped/bought and spent for some big growing plans, but all on hold/cancelled now for bigger LIFE plans which supersedes at this point

Hehe thanks bud, I also thought of that...two good samples there. But honestly I don't have the time for anything more right now. There is a lot going on in my mind and with work and life (looking/exploring at a major move) so the focus is just not there for my growing right now. Sadly it is what it is

And then the pics from this morning. Sadly, on opening the tent this morning, I saw my one plant (front left) had fallen over off the wooden stand, and was squished against the side of the tent...so I righted it as much as I could. They are not as far as I wanted them, but work has just been stupidly busy again and my priorities are just not able to cater for the grow right now. But I continue as much as I can Back centre - is the one whose 2 main stems I have removed. Front left - as you can see is the one that fell

So, the time has come for the flip I spent some time over the weekend transplanting the last 2 plants Roots were staring to spin a bit but were looking nice and healthy. I pruned them a bit (by plucking/pulling them outwards so that they are enticed to grow and not continue on their spinning path). I have been feeding with a reduced PH of around 5.7-5.8 now. They are looking a bit healthier. And then of course I went to bend the one main stem (out of the 2 from topping), and it snapped off...eish. So I decided to pluck the other one off, this late in the game, I know. Any who, that one does look better. I will post some pics from this morning in another post. Herewith the pics.

Some awesome looking plants Well done!

Try emailing this dude: info@splendidair.co.za Based in the cape I believe. I spoke to him a while back and he has a lot of recon units and new at generally better prices.

Update The two in the back are looking better and have resumed growth. The one in front is still struggling. The temps have been bitter cold this week though.

Yeah I am also not so happy with them the last week. Not looking as perky and growth not as good as the previous week. I have been hitting them harder than usual with nutes also, so I may just flush and see from there. Appreciate the concern though

So, these lovely ladies are on their way to recovery. One is doing a little worse than the other two (the smaller one). The topping seems to have gone well. Still dipping a little, but I have been watering a little more. Going to be backing off the next few days. But they are looking green and healthy. 2 photos from Wednesday, and the rest from today.

Sorry yes, did mean to mention this was 1 minute after lights on. Good spotting/thinking though Nice to hear people say my PH is spot on though! So many varying opinions always, and most don't understand that there are so many ranges for the different mediums/depending whats in the soil. But in all honesty, I have also not fed them until earlier tonight Bad grower, BAD! So they still look droopy. Realistically, they should have been fed on Sunday latest. Preferably Saturday evening. But anyways...things are a bit hectic this side. Will send updated pics tomorrow hopefully. They got a real nice feed of BioGrow Bloom and Grow + Molasses + Epsom Salts. So should be happy chappies soon

Usually around 5.8 - 6.2

So these lovely ladies were transplanted on Friday They had a nice feeding and then I topped them a day later. So some decent stress on them. I am going to give them a nice feeding again shortly. I transplanted two of them into the 2 odd litre pot. And then another into a 10l fabric. The roots looked great, bit of spinning already, but a healthy system none the less. The 2l pots I am hoping will last until it is time to flip. But it should work out nicely to transplant in 2 weeks, give a week to recover and then flip to flower. The reason for putting one in a different pot is purely experimental. I will most likely not repot it before flower (I usually ALWAYS repot before flower). It will be interesting to see the growth difference.

Thanks bud! I reckon so too. When I watered them yesterday I saw nice roots starting to poke out. That coupled with the growth and extension I have seen makes me want to transplant some time this week. I am thinking of going to what I would call a 2l plastic pot. Looks about that size anyway, maybe slightly larger. From there we will see based on growth, but I reckon into a 10l fabric for final as there is not that much time left.

1 Week later and the ladies are still looking nice and happy One feeding this week, same mix. Another feeding due now.

Thanks bud hehe I hope so, they do look happy though Thanks So...I was a little lazy yesterday Had a rich mix of BioBizz Grow for my others going (and possibly some bloom ...) And I just gave them a good squirt of that. Prior to this I gave them a solid dose of just the BB grow also. FF soil should be good for 3 weeks, but I figured I would try starting a little earlier, and as of today we are on the 3 week mark.

Update The three ladies are going strong. Albeit a bit slow with the cold weather. The temps have not ben grand this side, but we power on They got a nice feeding yesterday of some good nutes already and did not even flinch

Hehe thanks bud, was literally thinking of that an hour ago, already took pics, just transferring across and then will update after my next call

They are growing fast and nice sho! Well done

Looking good and strong! Onwards

So ladies and gents, one week later and this is the state of my 3 ladies. All looking healthy, drinking and growing nicely too. The second set of true leaves have just started poking out. I am spraying them with un-PH'd RO water day and night. Just a nice spritz on the soil and inevitably some on the leaves. I have moved them to the flower tent (which is still on veg lighting) for the time being to help with the cold nights we have had. That light is sitting at around 150w right now. Will be beefing it up over the weekend for the other 2 ladies in there. Not sure what to do there as I need to flip to flower in a week or so, so will have to move them out again, but by then they should be bigger. I am honestly just winging it at the moment as with work and everything else my grows are a bit mixd up. No stress though

Incredibly interesting to follow, I must say!
