Had one hell of a time getting photos to upload today. Just wanted to hang every time I tried. But I got some from last Thursday uploaded. Will get some more for the current week. Everyone is doing fine and pushing pistils out. The harvested plants were a disappointing but expected 5grams average for just over 2oz. If that were over all 56 pots on the table it would be only .43g/w which is half of what my previous harvests have been so looking forward to getting that number up with this next batch.

Thanks everyone! I'm looking forward to these next few weeks! Get the production line back in production mode!
Here are some plant pics. Every one is being left to dry out. Few that drink faster have been lightly watered with plain water until next the others catch up for next batch of nutes. All got a quick foliar feeding. I aquired some fish emulsion fertilizer that claims to be deotorized to add to feedings but Holy freaking cow it was awful smelling, and I like the smell of fish and clean fish regularly, but this was downright terrible. I don't know if I'll be able to use it for the smell lol will see.
Of the five new seeds I put in the veg box to possibly be new moms, two of the clones off of the potential moms have showed me their balls. Bad luck I suppose, first two both males, waiting on the other three clones to show sex. This is the little boy. Unfortunately I have to kill him, has great looking leaves and structure.
And the new toy arrived. Checked the calibration and the squeezed some juice outta leaves. Needed a little more juice but still got a reading. Will get more tonight. I know the proper term but I'm calling it a brix-o-meter anyway becaus it's more fun than refractometer. The distilled water reading was right on 0 and the leaf juice from the mom was right round 11 or 12 which I feel good about. Looking forward to learning more about what the plants respond to favorably and not so much.

So quiet round the forum this morning.
Wanted to boast some excitement, got a new, first and only, grow shop opening in the area. Don't know if I'll even shop there but at least it will be available locally! 30 min from home and about two towns between gr and grow shop means I might be able to shop there comfortably.

Hey BW! Gotta love new toys! I like to have the complicated stuff for fun but truely believe keeping it simple and following tried and true methods are the best in the long run unless you have plenty of plants and time... Which I have both and I tend to get myself in trouble because of that lol.
High Brix is a complex science that I've been studying for a while now and still just scratching the surface. Here is a decent place to start if you want a lot of reading material
Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures
Doc bud is taking concepts that have been used in other industries for a long time and tweaking it to fit our specific crops.

Hey Ricky Bobby,
Yor plants look great and I know you will be a happy camper since I saw you got a nice little harvest in
Looks like you put your new toy right to work for you.
Shopping options are always a plus.

If only I could get the ole lady to do the same with the toys I buy for her lol
That last little harvest was very light weight but super potent. Won't complain about it for sure but def ready to step it up! The grow store will be a great resource now. Big box stores don't have all the stuff I need sometimes.

Haha I have carried some blocks up ladders before and I'm happy for you and I both to not be doing that anymore! Rough job!
Im lucky to have some understanding of Brix and why and how of the growing. Getting it into practice is a different story. Hints why Doc Bud uses extremely high tech labs and doctors/scientists to develop his line of nutes and soil amendments. Im trying to see what I can accomplish on my own then will be trying docs kit for comparison
Not gona touch the 1st part with a 10 foot pole my friendIf only I could get the ole lady to do the same with the toys I buy for her lol

It'll be fun to see what happens!
That's a lot of bricks brother! It was nice being in that good of shape back then though. Not the fit figure I used to be lol don't know how I had to run 12-16 hours a day in that line of work.
Gave all the girls a foliar feed tonight. Got water/feed last night. Just letting them do their thing for a day or two now.

I can't wait man.
So I've been thinking, which is never good, and sometimes it hurts, about breeding. I made my own seeds first run. That is what I have been growing from but lately I have been throwing away some beautiful male plants. Just amazing looking and strong healthy plants. I am thinking of building another small box that I'll keep outside of the current gr. Basically it would be a sealed box with very small vents filtered with a good filter to catch pollen particles so they don't get out and into my gr. Probaby only large enough to fit about four two liters, maybe four one gallon pots. Stick one amazing male in there with three of the strongest looking females and some cfls and let them get freaky. Then use those seeds for the next round of moms and dads and so on. I actually have two 4 ft t8. Fixtures laying around that I could stand on end vertically and make the box about 4 ft tall and maybe 12x12x48.
Ugh sometimes I wish my brain would shut off lol. I tend to be starting new projects before my current project is completed way too often. But you know, idle hands...
