Got the tent prepped and set for the next one Smaller tent is flowering on. I've defoliated the Organic Tent™ and also pruned the smaller plants into their final forms. The tent itself is looking pretty stacked. The Wedding Cake just has that ultimate sweet smell of vanilla, I look forward to that fully flowering.

Feel the POWA

Looks like it's reveging to me

Tenazole But for real, you get WPM once then you do everything to prevent it in future. I even just today swapped out a 4 inch extractor to a 6 inch because since the beginning of Spring the little 4 inch hasn't been able to pull enough moisture out my one tent. I am also currently contemplating adding more plants to my space but again, with WPM in mind, I don't want to overload the amount of foliage and plant perspiration in the tent. Which leads to the next point, defoliate! You can get away with pretty much removing every big fan leaf from every major stem/branch of your plant, especially before the flip. Then ventilation, I now always have a top fan for the canopy and a bottom fan blowing just above pot level. Lastly, I try cleaning everything in my tents after harvest. The walls of the tent, the floor, the blades of every fan and the tops of the LEDs. You can have spores in your tent just waiting for the right conditions to hit, and they won't grow unless those conditions are met (high temp/humidity) but why risk it. Fresh start always feels good.

Top tier suggestion I've since raised the smaller plants up to canopy level.

Got another update lined up. Big tent is reset and already housing the potential clones for the next run. Transplant into the autopots is not too far along from here. The max number of plants I am going to go for is 12 plants on this run, so only need to chuck out two clones. I can already see which ones won't make the cut Smaller tent is on week 3 of flower and doing pretty well. The pH issue looks resolved. One plant in the corner is still a bit more faded than the rest but it's not terrible. When I look at this tent I wonder whether having more plants is necessary; four plants per 1.2m² has worked really well especially with the 99g per plant average I got last time. It does sound nice having a potential extra 180g+ to the harvest but looking at the below picture I can't see fitting in another two plants comfortably without risking a sharp rise in humidity and increased risk of PM, not without changing the grow style and decreasing the amount of toping to allow for horizontal space. Decreasing the toping will increase the bud size per plant, but also decrease the amount of veg time and overall plant size which if done correctly will output similar sized buds as now, but then the yield will also be similar. The only advantage would be less veg time, maybe. It'd really depend on how successfully timed the cloning is. Having a fast system or grow process doesn't really mean anything if the tent sits empty waiting for clones. Organic Tent™ is pumping, but also not pumping. It is on week 3 of flower and the Wedding Cake clones in the middle are doing very well. Most comparable to the Wedding Cake clone growth is OMG #4 in the back right corner. OMG #1 and #3 are both quite behind on any pistol development. They both fell behind in veg growth and I could not complete the intended shape of them and had to improvise. OMG #1 ended up with 6 main branches and OMG #3 has just a cluster of whatever the hell it's doing. I must try get in there and maybe chop the bottom branches off, but I want to see some more development first. Lastly OMG #2 is somewhere in-between. I managed to get the shape I wanted but it grew slow and overall is smaller than desired. I need to do a little more work on the shape just to spread it more slightly, then it should be finalised.

Seedlings are like private school kids; they are very sensitive and react to nearly everything. Those seedlings all look healthy to me. What I would suggest is next time pot up in smaller pots (~5L) first before going into the final bigger pots, unless you are doing auto flowering plants then potting up directly into the final pot is the way. Seeing as we are here in the bigger pots already, I would then also suggest to water lightly around the circumference of the plant instead of directly on top of where you planted. You don't want dry dry coco in your pot because it can be sometimes difficult to rehydrate, and you also want to promote the roots to work and seek out moisture around itself. Don't worry about the pH up until now, if you keep watering at 6.5 you'll be alright.

My man knows watt's up.

What watt are you running at the moment? Small possibility it could be light burn and not a deficiency.

Your veg time must be way shorter than mine. I'm actually thinking of adding another 4 plants to the tent, similar style, but less veg. So from 8 plants to 12 plants total.

After three days of trim jail, I weighed the latest harvest of the ZxP. 8 plants, 1.2x2.4 tent, 880W total LED power. 567g juicy nugs, 229g popcorn, 796g total. Which makes it about 99.5g per plant. So close to triple digits Not a bad increase from 37g per plant from earlier this year. I also decided to split the juicy nugs from the popcorn nugs because the popcorn nugs were big enough not to throw straight into the trim, but I wouldn't consider them... juicy. I think I might end up pressing all the popcorn. I'm also going to attempt to collect some kief from the trim and press that as well. I have some collected kief already sitting in the trim bin I used for the latest harvest, I'll post an example of it below. I have my trim sitting in the fridge and I am going to run it through the trim bin again by just rubbing a handful at a time on the top sift. I should be able to get at least one press worth, I think.

I have a feeling you're probably further than two weeks into flower if you're worried about residue on already developed flowers, so maybe just do the soil drench.

Truth. He'd have to flower up to almost 9-10 weeks total flower if he applies it immediately now. The specific active ingredient is imidacloprid (chloro-nicotinyl), as @Totemic also mentioned. With any of these nuclear level methods I would also go with a 1/2 - 3/4 dose in general.

Indoors right? Most guys would say if you couldn't prevent the problem then just blast some Complete 350SC on the leaves and also do a soil drench with like a 100ml solution ASAP. Many others will also say don't do it, because it's poison. Personally, it's saved a previous grow from a bad aphid infestation, and I can still see straight, so ja. Only had to use it once.

Bleak day, but they are likely to appeal so there's another 3 year stretch. Supreme court is likely to say the same though, this is a legislature problem, not an interpretation problem. Government needs to legislate the laws now. However, if they appeal again to the Constitutional court, we might just come full circle again. For anyone who'd like the official judgement I'll upload it here below. Lol they are using the same picture of what they called a "dagga lab" from a bust not too long ago to represent grow clubs bunch of muppets. 768129391_TheHazeClubvMinisterofPolice20222101-2021(WCC).pdf

I've disassembled every one I've owned at least once during their individual lifetime in attempts to extend their use. I also find that the motor builds up a lot of fine particles along the drive shaft between the motor and the blades, which increases friction on the motor and eventually wearing it out. I had the wire issue once with a fan, and sorted that out with some new wire and some soldering. I then ended up buying into RAM fans and I have found they work as long as you don't use the oscillation function at all...or so I thought! One of them died after maybe 3 months of just stationary work. Luckily all the RAM products come with I think 6 month warranties so I'll just keep getting them replaced until one lasts longer than the warranty

I've gone through so many of those clip fans

Entering week 9 of the ZxP, I have just chopped the plants and hung them in the tent. I have also flipped the other two tents into flower. The one ZxP tent is suffering what appears to be the same issue as the big tent ZxP did with regards to a nute lockout. The runoff was also again very high pH. I've already flushed and refed fresh nutes and the new growth looks greener than the established growth, so I said yolo and flipped to flower. Organic Tent™ powering on.

Following!

I think that sums it up nicely and the topic here is exhausted. I feel we've reached as much of a constructive point as possible before it really jumps off the rails. Everyone has had their say here, no need to try force ideological shifts at this point. If anyone actually gets their hands on some Hitler, you can open up another thread and we talk about just the strain.

Bruh you might be on to something here

You can either do two separate threads in the Grow Diaries section for your outdoor and indoor grows respectively, or throw them both into one thread.

Could maybe try hang an old curtain and add some velcro to stick it closed against the wall if needed. I remember they used to sell single tent walls with a zipper in the middle. That could've maybe worked too.

I live in South Africa, I know this feeling very well with regards to our ANC who have killed many millions of people through their inept and backward racial policies. As a German and as someone whose grandfather participated in the war, I give you all permission to make as many jokes about the war and Hitler as you want This "protect everyone's feelings" rubbish is really getting out of hand.
