Another quick one. Double posting these pics here so that I have this year's grow documented all in one spot.
The girls were eager to get into flower, they're starting to take off. Gonna pick up the fertigating frequency from every three days to daily, with less run off and slightly higher EC. They were fed at 1.8 EC, 6.1 pH today. 9.4 grams part A, 8.6 part B. This pic is to show the lighting configuration for a conversation in another thread.
It's been a while since I posted anything of the outdoors, so here's some shots from a moment ago. Put the Nothing girl under some heavy bondage. She was just getting too tall for my situation. Gonna have to plant some arborvitus or bamboo or something along that back fence if I do outdoor again. The nothing male (against the fence) shows about where she would've been if I hadn't been tying her down progressively for the past few weeks.
All of em got EWC tea yesterday, and fed today with the same strength as the indoor. Up till now they've basically been on a fish fertilizer and kelp extract diet. Wanting to try and boost some bushing as we head into flower in the next month (I'm guessing -- first year outdoor).

Three weeks since flip, things are starting to get interesting. I think we're through the bulk of the stretch at this point. We'll see though.
Good thing I pulled the males, the tent has filled in just fine with the Blackberry Moonshines.
I left the love stash's to just do their thing like xmas trees -- also probably a good thing.
Nothing has just bushed tf out -- she didn't get as tall as she has in the past. Probably due to the age of the starting seed. She's also been pretty neglected this run.
I'm thinking I need to kick up my feed numbers too. Already getting lower fan leaves yellowing. I defoliated a bunch on the bottom areas of the plants where light penetration isn't the best so hopefully the ladies will focus their energy up top. I'm still feeding at about 1.1 EC, letting the pH drift from 5.8 to 6.5, depending on the day and how OCD I am with the pH buffer.
Either way, things are moving along. Haven't seen flowers chunk up like this, this quickly, in all my previous grows. Not sure if it's the light source, or the media, or the nutrients, but I'm hoping these flowers will get a bit bigger over the next six to eight weeks or it's gonna be a disappointing pull. Suppose I can't bitch too much, everything about this run was new, and with new shit, comes new problems.
Anyways, here's some show and tell. Enjoy
Love Stash -- this girl towers over everyone else in the tent. Was super indica leaning in the early stages, but she's thinned out quite a bit now. Think this is the red pheno; will confirm with Dragon's flame.
Group shot. Front right is ^. Front left is Blackberry Moonshine. Left, behind the Blackberry Moonshine is the other Love Stash. Peeking in from the back is Nothing. Back right is Blackberry Moonshine.

Looking good there @coste . I almost jumped backwards on that forth shot down that that cord looked like a skinny black snake. LOLThree weeks since flip, things are starting to get interesting. I think we're through the bulk of the stretch at this point. We'll see though.

Can't get over one of these Love Stash's. She's already frosting up, getting bulky, and generally progressing like nothing I've grown before. Think I've found a definite keeper. She's the furthest along of all the plants, and the easiest going one I have in the tent.
This is her smaller sister. Not sure why she's so little, probably neglect, but she's also showing more trichome production than the Blackberry Moonshines and Nothing (this is to be expected -- Nothing requires patience).

Man she is a looker and those pistols must be a inch long or better. How far along is she from flip?

According to the post that mentions the transition (that's why i keep these logs haha) it's 17 days since flip. She was eager to get going for sure.
Wow she is fabulous for 17 days

That's what I'm saying!! Never in all the years I've done this off and on have I seen a plant just get right to business like this. I'm not that great of a grower but she makes me look like I half know what I'm doing lol
She looks like a special lady. Did you get a clone or doing a re-veg?

I have clones of everything in the tent, but depending how she finishes, I may reveg and keep her as a mother plant.

WARNING! These next few posts are pic heavy.
Not much to say right now. Girls are chuggin along. Looked back through this thread because @Jewels hearted some stuff and realized that my sense of time has gone along with my youth haha. Plants are lookin good for how long it's been since flip.
Anyways, pulled em out for some individual pics, and to rearrange em in the tent. Fed em as they went back in at 2.1 EC, 6.4 pH. The Love Stash are showing some burnt tips, where as the Blackberry Moonshine looks like it could probably take some more with some of the older water leaves fading and dropping off. Nothing is still being a finicky bitch. Forgot how temperamental she is. Oh well. Next round will be better. On to the pics.

Underside of the Love Stash's leaves. She's got some pretty colors showing up I can't get my phone to capture.

Looking for cues, I was traipsing the whole journal.
The path of least resistance also moves with the gradient.
WAF is huge in this hobby. Wives also determine their own level of participation.
My girl is happy to assume buds appear in the jar.
If I keep my gear from appearing on the bank statements, and from accumulating underfoot- she is happy.
I am not familiar with your climate or situation. Just remembered that you wish you had that space outside. Can you operate year round out there ?
If so, you really gotta sell the prime real estate that your grow is currently occupying.
I got yer back bro, You start composing a list of all the great things your wife could start doing in that space, with that garden removed. I will start on a list of why your grow should not be in your house.
Natural inertia.
Hit it from both fronts.

hahaha, I'm in the PNW, just not in the legal-to-grow-your-own-recreational state. The tent currently occupies a good chunk of the office I work in. Conference calls are always fun -- "why do you sound like you're in a wind turbine?"
As for operating year round, that's the plan. Outdoor is possible, I suppose, though I'm not wanting to try to combat the February temps. In the shed, I could definitely run year round. Keep the tent going in the house to veg stuff out, maybe do some more in-depth breeding work. Keep the bigger space for the money makers.
I like your style. Get her to purge shit she doesn't even know she has, get more room for more girlies, AND possibly free up the square footage I lost by setting up this bigger-than-anticipated tent right next to my workstation. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar, I don't care what @jaguarlax says about ya.

^^ that sexy bitch is growing bananas. Like, a lot. FML. Of course, the prettiest one yet is a chick with a dick. Too far gone to turn back, so gonna be castrating the male bits the rest of the run.
Any tips on ensuring the pollen is sterile? Don't really want to be spraying water and introducing PM or Bud Rot at this point.

If you see dust bag it remove from area spray/castrate, let dry. Assume the pollen is verile even if you dont see pistils receeding.
