Every time that I’ve decluttered I’ve thrown out things that I later needed so I’m pro hoarder/pack rat. :peace::wall:
I held onto an old pair of guitar speakers for 20 years where the voice coils had to be replaced. I moved so I had to toss stuff, always wannted to fix them, though if you have not used it yet you never will. Ten years late I wish I has them.

Too close to the lights and some leaves got crispy.

What do you think?
Day 28 of flower, tomorrow will start week 5
Started really looking worse yesterday.
Measured runoff for the first time in a while - ppm at 950, been feeding 700-750 or so daily (with every water I feed). pH is always 5.8-6.2. Runoff ph was 6.1
I always water to >25% runoff so I don't think salt buildup but is it possible? Or too much calcium? I've been supplementing with calcium with good results through veg. (1.5ml / L) time to quit? Scale back?
Temps 24°C. Rh is lower than it should be at 50% but there's another plant in final flower in the same cabinet.
Oh yeah and so today I just gave water to 50% runoff at pH of 6 and runoff was 6.1 and 222 ppm. Should I do another water only? I think I'll at least start alternating feed with waterings.

Brown roots. :sad: on flower week 5 day 1

The media has been washing out of the bottom of my cup bit by bit leaving roots exposed and offering gnats a backdoor so I closed the door with landscape fabric, put a new dusting of promix hp and promix root stimulator on the bottom and gently replaced the little princess and gave her another water-only at 6.2 pH to 50% runoff which weighed in at 303 ppm. That is higher than yesterday so imma assume, yes I did!, that it's due to the tablespoon or two of new promix hp plus the root stim.

Then I split the main stalk rejigging the LST.

SO I'm looking forward to a week of recovery with little growth if any. Stay tuned!

My outdoor solo adventure is nowhere close to what you guys have and it won’t finish by 9/31. These pics posted above are awesome.

I think the end date is flexible. @Rckola wants 2 weeks to vote with a winner declared by halloween (remember the decorated cups).
But I'm not sure how the contest is judged. It's generally a popularity contest, right? lol
But seriously, just a battle pic? (prettiest girl? fattest girl? tallest girl? girl with the most resinous nugs? girl with the nicest cups? the girl with the stinkiest flower will be tough to judge online)
Do we also need to be dried, trimmed and weighed by the end date?
