Pulling up a seat if I may.

Wow, what a great plan, setup, strains and training style! I love it all, really.

I throughly enjoy manipulating these amazingly resilient plants.

I'll be following along for sure.

I also have 3 tents, somewhat similar to yours.

4'x4'. - Bloom
2'x4' - Veg
3'x18" - Drying and Mothers/small clones while not drying

Hey thanks for checkin out my grow! Thanks for the compliments! But I think the direction your taking coco is absolute genius and the next build will have to be wicking like yours. I was already imagining cutting two more holes in the tent riser to drop in some tubs. It wont work with this one though due to the odd ball framing I did. Maybe I’ll turn my 3x3 into a one plant wicker at some point. With my current set up I do fear the day I go back to work. I’m definitely not going to want to spend my few night hours mixing nutes and the reg daily maintenance

The 2x blueberry autos are in wk 5. I was happier with these two about a week ago, I noticed a little elongation in the bud stems and Im really hoping they don’t go string of beads on me. I’ll dig up a pic of a Gelato OG auto that did the same thing but way worse. In that plant I saw alot of the same dark “chicken footed” leaves that the blades get very close together and stick out straight. Im led to believe the rust spots are from a calcium deficiency. Im hesitant to throw calmag at the blueberries because the look like they have excess nitro and they are in wk 5. Another possibility for these rust spots, I think, could be from using calmag with the AN sensi coco bloom and it caused a calcium excess that locked out other nutrients. Ive have many other theories too but I’ll just stop there. With growing issues it always feels like Im at hour six of a deep lsd experience, just too many possibilities to be actually able to know anything for real

The weird gelato (reference above) displaying the worst nugs Ive ever seen in my life. I heard somebody once describe a plant like this as string of pearls but that sounds a little too desirable too me. Next time this happens I think I’ll do a public execution for the others to watch, lol, it all went into edibles anyway. Ive seen/heard in a doc somewhere where at a commercial grow op, a grower was talking about what it means when the blades get close together and jet strait out. I wish I could find that clip somewhere, it was in a weed doc/show in like ‘06 or ‘07. I currently think this is what nitrogen retardation looks like, but naturally its not concrete. Both this plant and the blueberries were grown on AN Sensi Coco bloom. The gelato did not get calmag ever and the current blueberries did, but only at 2ml/G early on and here and there. So if anything adding a little calmag this run made overall coloring display worse. I didn’t have any rust spot until very late withe the gelatos. The gelatos were in 2.2G yellow base Air pots and the Blueberries are in 1G plastic pots so I haven’t ruled root bound but Ive seen some pretty big plants even in soil in small pots and it didn’t cause any nutritional problems. AN is high in N and I did read an article from a university (not a copy/paste ignorant misleading blogger) that showed you had to reel in nitrogen with multifeeds because it gets utilized by the plant right away but the other nutrients take time. Sounds good to me but then there is people out there running AN successfully in DWC so there is something I’m not getting

Everything is moving right along. Two blueberry autos are in flush. One for sure jumped on the foxtail express. Im hoping to get a little denser stuff on the bigger one but we’ll see. The Skywalker and Banner are flowering nicely. I did find some odd single spot forming on at the very tip of alot of the colas on the skywalker, I’m praying these don’t turn out to be pre nanners. Although the nanners I’ve seen in the past tend to bust out of a calyx, so Im hopefull its just an odd mutation. I trimmed the tops on the centers of the two up and coming Banners to hopefully get the two main tips to stretch out more this time around.
