Cheers brother and thank you.
Im really looking forward to this grow.

Because of my water quality where I am I use RO water.....my first 3 indoor grows because I had been using a under sink RO system it took forever to fill 5 gallon buckets and because of that fact I would just give nute-water-nute-water because I had no runoff from only giving them 3 litres each and didn't want to burn them with buildup.
So i finally got a HYDROLOGIC BIG BOY whole house catalytic carbon filter that puts something like 6 gallons a minute.
With nothing holding me back I can finally give the girls enough water for 10% runoff each time. I mean i still grew amazing frosty bud and had good yeilds but the runoff ph when I flushed every month was up to 2.4 ec and 1700ppm so even tho they produced well that root zone PH and TDS had to be affecting the overall performance id think.
I also went a little too heavy on the potassium silicate which locked out a bit of cal-mag on a few of my plants. So will definately be halfing that dose.

But I'm just glad the sulphur burner i used got rid of the WPM for good from the 2nd grow and never saw it back in the 3rd.

Every grow I've been learning something new or faced with a new set of operational concerns its definately never a dull moment. Its seems to getting easier though and less stressfull.

Got em under a 240 watt (at half power) 3500k quantum board.

Watered the whole cup and gave em a few drops of micro. They finally starting to get some roots built and top leaves coming along.

Wife almost killed them while I was away‍♂.......she was adding a 3 in 1 nute as the grow........PLUS micro, bloom, and calmag and potasium silicate.........
Got em sorted. Definately slowed em down a but. They good now. Transplanted

2 in the middle are OG autos why they bigger.

Didn't defoliate my plants heavy like I usually do. Trying to leave them solar panels on see how they do.

I did cut 6-8 of the lowest branches off and left the top ones.

JUst trying new things. TRIMMING WAS SUCH A CUNT last grow. The lower buds were fully developed and as potent but took SO LONG TO TRIM.

Trying to have bigger fuller buds rather than fuck with the popcorn

Cheers brother. She usually does pretty good..Im gone 20 days a month so give her the recipe. Got a Milwaukee 3 in 1 ph ec tds reader which works like a charm for her....its kind of my fault i bought the 3 in 1 nute for vegging plants and left it beside the 3 part grow bottle. Oh well live and learn.
Like yours mine can't stand to be anywhere near my girls but she grudgingly helps me out

Flipped to a 12/12 today.

(Accept for the mothers of course)

(Vivosons fixture has amazing coverage.....but they put the blast on one side so even if you set your retractable ropes its always uneven.....the heavy candle balances it out

I'm a little behind on my posting. Life been crazy
Here's a pic of one of the Gorilla Skittlze. Them and my cirtical orange punch by far the frostiest.

So the yellow plants were like 2 " from my quantum board. And they got hella bleached. I was at work for 35 days and wife failed to mention that. Mind you ive never had plants stretch 3 times. Barely ever had plants stretch 2 times their height. Was a wet summer could of been all the humidity I guess.

49 days since first pistils
You can see the gorilla skittlze and the critical orange punch changing some good fall colors.

There's 3 plants that have super yellow crispy leaves with alot of brown spots.
Those were the 3 plants that got bleached under my quantum. I ended up moving them Around the room due to height.
The plant looks to be in rough shape but the buds are beautiful
