Man busy day today definitely odd starting work at 1 pm and getting off at 10 pm used to being in at 6 or 7 but hey job change will do that however before I went in today roommate and went out and bought a new glass bong

@District_Flora wanted to let you know your testers have been swapped over into the flowering tent yesterday was the first day all 4 were all showing slight signs of sex at the end of veg pretty positive have one male going to let it run for a while longer to confirm they also got pretty sensitive to my hlg at the end was the main reason for putting them over into the flowering tent

Here they are the day 1 of flow

Yeahhh, that reminded me how the mother didn’t tolerate my LED light at 100% during flower and I had to go down to like maybe 65% or 70% before it got crisp. Legit forgot all about that, I’ll make note of it and try to weed out of phenos when I start testing them. I’m glad you noticed, that’s the kind of stuff I wanna know!

Niiice, I figured you’d have at least one male. Do ya thing if you’d like. Can’t wait until the terps start coming through!

Thank you both I do my best to give feedback on things and provide pics

the testers are still under a led 265 hlg rspec (almost couldn’t remember that) but are a good distance from it

So far all my plants have been loving going under it a bit of a distance away about 3 and half feet or so and it hasn’t caused any stretching issues even with the solo cups that are like 5 ft away from it lol :joy:

Transplanted and topped the Mac 1, the wet betty and banana kush this morning before lights out

Each plant is set to give two main colas each thinking about a little lst also as I have plenty of time to play around with them flowering tent is pretty much full so will use these as filler

Wet betty roots

All three together topped

Well it’s finally happening my blueberry butcher male is finally dropping pollen this poor guy is growing in tent with only a blurple light so he’s definitely taking on high temps poor feeding and he still managed to stay alive and drop me pollen also he has the 4 branch per node trait

Super excited to see how much I get from him

I always felt like it would be cool to build an automated system for watering solo cup plants. I really like your set up and variety.

What are your goals for growing out of curiosity – meds, fun, hobby, professional aspirations?

Well it all started off out of spite for dispensary weed to be completely honest over the last three years quality has continued to go down while prices go up at one point for about 6 months you could barely buy flower in my area of Colorado

that’s pretty much what started it from there as I learned about growing I grew more and more interested in it because I realized that the best way for me to get good quality weed was to do it my self and once I smoked first harvest I was sold on growing it wasn’t that my weed was better than dispensary potency wise but because it was fresh not dry and super handled i liked so much more

So I dove head first in full commitment spending all my extra money on equipment while giving a lot of my extra time to learning and on my grow with my overall goal simply being find or make then preserve what I think is the best weed and rosin making plant

Now when it comes to what is my favorite kind of weed well I like a variety of taste and smell but my preference is something sweet or a berry/citrus flavor that makes your mouth water but when it comes to the high I want that heavy high through the whole body that makes you float if that’s makes any sense to you

Overall I’m growing out of hobby and want to turn it into some medicine for a few people as well in the future @abazabaaa lol when you ask someone why they grow

Love this, I’ve been growing since legalization in Canada and have spent very little at the dispos because the quality doesn’t compare to my home grown and the price is staggering.
