Pinktiger's Next Adventure: Can She Double Her Yield With Two Tents?

[InTheShed]

I don't think I've seen specs for autos that just mention flowering time specifically. The ones I've seen say x number of days and that's total from sprouting. Fast autos run 50-65 days and the rest run from 70-110 days. A lot of growers who end up with ones that take a long time wish they had grown photos!

Ok that is good to know

So glad I checked my grow. The water pump quit - plants were drooping. I happened to have a new water pump, so we quickly changed it and gave my babies a drink.

 

[Pennywise]

Good save on the babies!

 

[Pinktiger777]

Oh, it is like this all the time! LOL. If it can happen, it will happen. I'm glad I had the pump already purchased and ready to go. It is a bigger pump and actually fills the tray in a minute.

That's my only beef with Rdwc is your dependent on electricity and components working properly

 

[Pinktiger777]

I was thinking the same thing. LOL. If I had been out of town for two days, I would have come back to carnage.

Here's what I found yesterday evening, as I opened the tent to do some defoliation. At first, I wondered why the plants seemed so droopy, but then when I tried to turn the water on manually, it wouldn't flow. The pump was shot.

We replaced the pump, a better one that fills it up faster.
This morning, the tent looked like this:

Usually underwatering will recover in a few hours, less is always more. Overwatering or over fertilizing will stress them to the point of death.

 

[Pinktiger777]

Oh, boy. The plants are looking crazy beautiful. Today I upped the nutes to normal range (in my water, that would be 1350 ppm), as they had fallen (naturally) to less than 1K ppm. Temps and humidity are stable, and I see no pests (knock on wood). Here's some photos: (Oh - I had to move one of my fans up to avoid the jungle.)

Looking fantastic

 

[Pennywise]

Absolutely gorgeous!

 

[Pinktiger777]

I’m absolutely blushing! Lol

 

[Pennywise]

Lol you earned it

 

[Pinktiger777]

Well, folks, today I noticed the growth on these plants is outpacing my expectations. I hope my tent is big enough to hold them. it's definitely a jungle. And I think the tigers and pythons are back.

I'm going to defoliate further, but I'm waiting; it seems the plant is still growing and filling out, and may need the fan leaves left on for awhile. I'll lollipop them before the end,but I think it is still too soon. Pennywise? In the Shed? Others? Ideas?
Thanks.

I usually uncover covered bud sites and or trim lower unit needed stuffs


Looking great

 

[Pennywise]

Usually around day 20-21 of flower is a good time to unblock Bud sites and lollipop the lower 1/3 of the plant. Stretch should be done by then.
