Now that I've seen your post, I think I'll drop a bean today. Happy sunday!Congrats on the new cross MG! Looking forward to seeing one of those in the future.
Don't let me looking forward mess with your timetable! 
Any luck with the automation stuff?

Been slow going although I have ordered new parts. I have to move in June so much of my work has been researching or ordering components

Happy Thursday everyone. Excuse the sloppiness of the grow and see the potential of this great light. Also, gotta say growing in hydro can really help reduce work during long periods as far as watering and what not.
My little to no effort grow... beans, tomatoes, peppers, cbd plants, and my first plant from seed that I pollen sprayed haha. It's a mess but I'm impressed with the little effort so far.
This pic was pre trimming and supercropping but I'll update. Thanks @Mars Hydro for this amazing light.
there's a cbd plant and tomato plant on the other side of the big lady
this is obviously not an ideal grow with so many plants so tight together. Also, many different plants all fed the same nutrients is not ideal. That said, I'm happy with this fun experiment.
Hope everyone is doing great! Much love 420 fam

Here's one of the buds from the mom somango plant that was grown under the Mars Hydro FC6500. I had two tents going and was gone quite a bit during the grow but it cured nice and is tasty sweet citrus hits all days
From March 26th to Happy Thursday LOL!
If you're happy I'm happy! Looks like a joyful mess in there.
Love the frost and the subway tile!

Happy Friday Four 20 Family! I ate some of my beans and they were tasty! On topic pic (auto cbd in the shot) anyway, very happy with the grow for what it is
Some random pics. About to add the special sauce to the reservoir for frost production during the rez change tonight. Needless to say trimming is in order!

That bean looks delish and excellent purple at the end!
Yes, trimming is definitely in order.

Little trimming while I changed out the reservoir. Still more to do, especially lower but I have tine this weekend. The smell is amazing! Very sweet. I am hoping we have some frosty pictures come next Friday

Happy almost Friday! I forgot my password and email but the light is still going strong and I'm in late flower with some of the seeds produced from my last grow.
actually had to put them into pure darkness for a few days in flower so what they are becoming is still pleasing to me. Temps are hot maybe 87F but i might tinker with that over the weekend plus cooler temps coming in forecast. There is one auto in the fabric pot. The 5 gallon buckets are all from the somango X GDP. I see two pheno types, the back corner is more GDP but very leafy indica. The back left is more hybrid and forms better nugs I think. It's in fade (I'm hoping haha) and will finish earlier than the darker green two on the right.

Even if you're rusty they still look like they're packing on some weight!
I've just got two growing this summer, and you can see the latest pics of them here. Drop in whenever you're in the mood.
