Thank you all!!!

Well after 10 years of not growing I feel it is safe to say I havn't missed a beat. These beautiful ladies are starting week 5 in flower. Mother Earth coco perlite mix in 3 gallon pots in a 3x3 tent. Mars Hydro FC 4800 led. Currently 80 degrees f, and 50% humidity. We have closeups of each plant.

Photo #2 is Crazy Cow. (Front right) This plant has no pistils visable, only calyxes. Smells like creamy fruity pebbles and has the most trichome production, but is smaller than the rest. Trichomes are mostly cloudy. Will probably finish first.

Photo #3 is Eden's Apples. (Center) This plant has been very vigerous, looks like I will get a nice yield off if her. She has a strong grow structure and smells like a sweet cheesy pastry and rotting fruit.

Photo #4 is Sundae Punch. (Front left) This girl also has great structure and looks to be a heavy yielder. Smell has fruity/gas smell to her. Will probably finish second.

Photos #5,6 are M2. (Back two) These are 100% sativa. Both phenos have a lemony fruity smells. Photo 5, (right back) seems to be a little ahead of the other M2. 14 weeks to flower. Looks like heavy yielders so far.

I have been feeding all the plants the same nutrient ppm and ph. My runoff is anywhere from 2500-4800 ppm with no deficiency. I have runoff when I feed every other day. I use general hydroponics flora series, big bud and overdrive will be added during the last few weeks. I plan on a 10 day flush minimum.

I want to thank everyone for your advice as I get back into this great hobby. I am hoping for close to 1/2 lb cured, but we shall see. I am very happy with what starting week 5 has produced so far.

People could learn from your technique.. just love the trimming job and lollipopping of every branch.
Trying my hand at it this time around, hope mine look this pretty..

Nice buds dude

I've seen that training technique, (or one very similar to it), called Mainlining. I thought I had a written copy of the exact process they used, but I'm not finding it. Of course, that doesn't mean I don't have it either though.

I tried a training technique many years ago.
But she wasn't having any of that and divorced me ....

I had great luck with mainlining a plant last year. Everyone was shocked when I posted this picture and said I never should have done it except my friend big who said not to worry the plant would do fine. Turns out, he was right it was a beautiful plant at the end. I just encouraged a circle around the stem and got a beautiful flat large plant with many large colas. I’m not encouraging this practice unless you are the experimental type tho. I’m gonna look for a picture at the end of her grow.

‘’edit found this picture early on after the butcher session…

Never mainlined,, but i have topped many times.

 

[SubmarineGirl]

I haven’t done it since but it did cover the net much better and nice and low than my regular plants. Would be a good way to train a tall grower if growing in a tent
i had to give this plant a booster chair to be as tall as my other plants in the tent at the time. Gives an additional 18” of head room.

For once in a million it’s hands off this crop!

Too bad it's all gone.....Just smoked the last of my M2 my ol lady found in a drawer.
Until the next harvest!!!!
