Hi all! Happy Tuesday. The girls are still plugging along. Dosidos is still a runt, Dark Devil is still being a Devil, and Purple Lemonade is doing her thing. I feel like they are kinda just sitting there.... I'm sure it's because of the big up pot but, it's still a little boring. I fed them all 4 g/gallon of MC today. Not sure if they needed it since I'm also having trouble adjusting to the fabric bags and also the size of 4 gallons vice 3 sooooo yeah, there's all that! 
. Here is a pic of all three. Along with the feeding today they are sitting at 25k LUX right now. I wish PL and Dosidos would start to stretch...
Oops. I have a little crossover neighbor in there. I'm rearranging things in the Playhouse and she snuck in there to get some good light!
. Hope everyone is doing well. 
Do you find it hard to water small plants in those really tall cloth pots?
Also, have you considered bumping the lux? Some additional light might get their juices flowing!

Those are 4 gallon pots? I kinda like the tall look of them. How tall are they?

Well, yeah, especially the Dosidos. I got the fabric pots from my baby girl for my birthday (something I wanted to try). @Grand Daddy Black is also using 4 gallons. I believe we were both thinking that 5 gallons are a little heavy and the 3 gallon seemed like we might get more bud from something bigger so 4 gallon seemed good. And I think they are totally fine, just something new to get used to. Though, I’m not sure that pot size indoors has a huge effect on that. A tidbit from my current perpetual grow that I will mention at harvest. Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about the fabric in general. But I have a shit ton of them so I’m gonna use them. I just need to get used to it I think.
I did bump the light this evening and also bumped the MC by a gram/gallon.
Yep! I will measure them in the morning and let you know! I also like the tallness of them. My thought was deep and circular. Hopefully that makes sense....

It does. You would have less volume of soil in perched water than in a shorter, wider pot, which is a good thing in my book.My thought was deep and circular. Hopefully that makes sense....
I agree. That is quite an achievement!Congrats on getting a trainable DDA! Another milestone in the Boogrow.

Good evening, Boo.
If it's not too much trouble, could you please show me close-ups of the way you LST? Since I'm still learning how to do this, the more examples I see will help me. I learn way better with pictures rather than just words.

I'm liking those 4 gallon pots. I have the same ones you have. They seem to help with moisture retention.

Hi HashGirl! I’d be happy to. Right now I don’t have a lot of LST-ing going on but I will gladly get some close ups!Good evening, Boo.

Happy Sunday evening all! The gals in the Atreum tent are chugging along. Here are some pics. First up is Dark Devil #4:
She has continued her weird ways, although she is the BIGGEST one I've grown so far. Whatever.
Next up is Purple Lemonade this gal has been a good grower from the beginning. She is pale, but very happy. I was able to pull the tiny little nodes down that formed when I topped her and she has pushed her lower nodes up past the upper ones. She's really a beautiful plant, just small so far.
Finally, Dosidos. I have to say, I am a little disappointed by this gal. She's a Barney's farm seed so I thought she would be more robust.
I'm thinking about this grow and the one thing I've noticed is how SLOW it seems to be going. Maybe I sabotaged myself? I normally do autos in 3 gallon plastic pots. These gals are in 4 gallon fabric pots, and they are tall pots. Plus....I think I may have mistakenly filled those pots with recharged FFOF instead of the recharged ProMix HP. Ooooof! So.
I'm wondering how this is gonna play out.

They all look nice n healthy, I don't think it's anything you did...just autos being autos
* Even the tiny DDA looks healthy...a little mutant-ish, but healthy
I'm with double H...autos gonna auto! Though the pots may play a part being tough to get the watering down in a pot that tall. Might be better suited for a final upcan for a photo.

Looks great, Boo! They’re probably just finding their footing in those pots, at what would it be now roughly 3-3.5 weeks above soil? They’ll have lots of room to build up a nice root ball as they finish their stretch.

Thanks Carcass. Autos being autos! I should know that by now!
I think you have a good point there.
Hi DAB! Yes, they are at 4 weeks above soil. Waiting for a bigger stretch.
In the meantime, Purple Lemonade is starting to show her colors under the power of the Atreum Hydra...
Happy Monday!
Pretty! Amy collects those bracts that stick out from the nodes and packs them in a bowl by themselves. Some weird Australian ritual? Who knows!

Every time I see them I think of @Amy Gardner LOL. No more wasting those things!

It's amazing the difference a week makes.

I think they are stretching. They are really digging the Atreum Hydra, and it is keeping them snug and warm over the cold nights here.
Dark Devil really stretched! I need to bump the light up a bit.
I’m in love with the Purple Lemonade. She so pretty. She’s getting color in her bud sites now too.
Stay safe out there!
