Ok got off my lazy ass and into the garden today. The photos were looking sad and droopy they needed water. Today everyone got tap water with fish fertilizer and Ful-Power. I am happy with how both of these tents are going, the photo's are begging for transplant but I need them to sex first as all but one are from seed. I do believe I spotted two today that will be girls we will see. I hope I'm right on one of them as she's my favorite plant so far. It's amazing where I am now compared to a year and a half ago. Once upon a time I was happy if I got a harvest, now I'm being picking with plants in veg and breeding it's wild. I am so grateful for those on here that have helped me as time has gone by. I have like 4 harvest now that have been really good quality bud and every grow there is improvement in some way it feels good to be on a constant state of progression and not making as many changes. I am finding my groove and what works for me. It's just really hard toi keep a perpetual going even this small it's a lot of work for one person to keep up on it. And that's with my grow not being difficult to maintain it's just a little labor intensive but as I settle in I will find more efficient ways to do things I am sure.

Here's a shot of the Skywalker Auto that's finishing up first in the Auto 3x3 (Center Plant)

Sorry having issues with my shaky hands and getting the cell to focus on these close ups.

Here's a shot of the Auto tent:

And a shot of the photo's vegging in the other 3x3, this was before watering and defoliation:

Hope everyone had a nice Turkey Day and thanks for checking in

brother, that last picture is really cool,, I dig the whole thing, your doing great,
Thanks brother just did a final trim on the remaining Hubba Bubba. I got 8.5 zips of solid bud and a zip of larf that's perfect for little snaps for the bong. So 3x3 tent, four plants in #3 pots, four 54 watt COB's, and about 65 days from seed. This is some of the best flower I have grown whether auto or photo period. I am very happy with the quality although I wish there would have e been more weight. But I did pull it a little early because I was dry and I still passed the 1gpw mark so o guess that's good?

We will see how this current run goes as the two strains in there are not big yielders but quality is great. I think I will be re arranging some things soon in the grow I got a crazy idea again lol so we will see............

It's like having the old crew together agian ! Need @Budzbuddha and @lukio in here !
Looking Pro @Evil-Mobo !
Good to see you brother and thanks for the kind words. I will be doing a final trim soon on the stuff that was in the 4x8 and then we can move on with a new run in there too. I want to try a couple of new things in the near future a SCROG with one big plant being one of those things we shall see.

You will pull some crazy numbers on a well done Scrog with LEDs! Make sure it's a strain you really like though !

Two is nice but diffrent pheno'can be a pita. If you can get two of simmiler structure it will take less veg time to fill the screen. One plant is like being able to grow a full mature tree in our spaces. It's work to get under the screen and clean everything below it but pays off in yealds. Good stocky stacking strains work better than leggy viney ones.

Perfect thanks for the advice :)

I think you'd like 1 plant scrogged I your 3x3.
I recommend putting a bushy plant under there, vegging it for 2 weeks under the net & use a double Trellis 8-14" apart depending on your technique & strain stretch.
I never get to veg into the net anymore but when I did, the yields were quite a bit more then I get now just bending tall ones under n hitting the switch.

a shot of both tents overall...
I love the cover crops! I wish I could grow perpetually, I'd love to keep lady bugs and all alive continuously.

I veged this one for 7 weeks and flowered for 9- 2x2.5
What strain is that? I'm finding it interesting to compare plants that have been "defoliated" from those that haven't. I've seen great bud come off of both techniques. I'm running 5 of the same strain this run (very rare for me) so I defoliated two and I'm going to see if the lower buds seem more mature than on the others in the end. At any rate, they look so healthy when we let them have their leaves... beautiful looking plants you have!

@Humanrob I was considering some lady bugs in the near future. Do they survive under the LED's ? Have never used them before on an indoor grow only for veggies outdoors.

Here's a midweek update. Putting in a lot of needed work the last few days. especially cleaning up in general. I vacuumed today the floor outside the tents (inside will be again soon was done recently), and I transplanted the photo's they were really starting to stress from not getting transplanted. Timing seems perfect roots looked great. I shit canned the SBA cut as she's been very finicky this time around to wet/dry cycles and just too much attention needed I have plenty of other plants and starting to be a picky grower I will only keep things that work well in this system for me and are not picky with the wet/dry spells. Just me. Anyways enough ramblings here's some pics.

Pics of the Auto tent right now, smells so good in here:

Here's a shot of the veg tent for the photo's. before and after transplant:

I know these girls look like shit but they should be fine in a day or so now that they got bigger homes. I dropped cover crop seeds in all the pots.

Thanks for checking in
