Beautiful work! Nice training.
Had the worst transplant of my life from the 3 gallon into the 10 gallon. She is PISSED. Also hungry. I top dressed some alfalfa meal and kelp meal. Not a whole lot (7 tablespoons) because there is a good bit in the mix. If she goes any lighter i will pick up some bone meal for faster delivery.

Beautiful job on them maters. They are that perfect shade. I hope that stressed plant gets it together sooner than later. Some can be so whiny. Nice looking grow though.
Bilbo bongingsFound it again! I knew there was a hobbit growing here. Looking good!
Hell yeah! On point!
OMG what a shit show. Got a lot done this morning, but my method was not pretty. Cant believe I didnt wake the kids up cussing.
I went ahead and transplanted the Euforias and one of the Pie faces into their 10 gallon forever homes. It was quite the struggle. Didnt realize until i was in the shit that i had never transplanted from a fabric pot…. Only to a fabric pot. Was difficult. Will not do that again.
Anyways, had 4 plants but only 3 10 gallon pots. So some poor bastard had to move into a lowes bucket. With that in mind, I chose the one that looked the most male. Much too early to tell, in fact these past few nights i added some dark in attempt to trick them into preflower so i could look up their skirts. No bueno. I gave a heavy watering to saturate the new media.
In unrelated news. The Pie Faces are starting to give off the nutmeg/cherry smells the last one did. The most unique and beautiful smell to ever grace my tents. A very welcome return.
Some changes to my water. Being that im going from a happy frog base to the promix hpcc base, i want to make damn sure that my ph is right. Im pretty sure its supposed to be ~6.2 in the peat/coir mix. If anyone knows better please feel free to jump in at any point.
Anyways. I will be aerating my water then ph’ing to 6.2 just BEFORE water. Up to this point i had been ph’ing to 6.2 before the bubbler, never adjusting after. So if my plants start going to shit with some suspected ph issues, someone remind me i should start there.
The tent is very crowded. I will be making some room in there once the wedding cake auto in the 10 gallon starts to flower. Then i will be kicking the other wedding cake in the 2x2 out to my back yard. Any of the pie faces that show me some balls will be getting the chop. Would like to collect some pollen but any chances of that went out the window when i started all my wedding cake autos. Perhaps i will move it outdoors to my inlaws land, where i dont have to worry about it pollenating any of my, or anyone elses plants.

It wont be easy kicking this one out. Shes nothing special but for some reason i have taken a liking to her. For those that have been following; i can say with 100% certainty that the seabird guano is getting her into gear.

I always do my transplants at night or super early in the morning, can’t tell you how many times I’ve woken everyone up dropping a bale of peat moss or some other dumb move I made and found myself yelling at myself
Plants are looking great though
I run 5 gallon buckets as well but I Swiss cheese the hell out of them lol
I do the same with every pot including nursery pots as soon as I buy them
I found this method with them makes for some really fast dry backs vs the grows I did without the holes, I keep screen on the bottom to reduce medium loss, with he screen I lose no media (minus a small bit from the side holes on the initial watering)
They are wrapped in gorilla tape to blackout the root zone. I recently found some black hydro 5gals that I’ll eventually buy, but these are working great for the time being, every root ball in these is SOLID top to bottom
