Couple of monsters there…
You are growing the POTG while I am growing the Alien Otto.
This Summer we will flip, and you will be the AO Guy, and I will be POTG.
Keep up the stellar growth!

Here they are this morning, drained the system the other day and did some housekeeping, put each one in a bucket of UC Roots and cleaned the roots off. It cleaned a TON of the seaweed mix I put in the water the water change before. They were stained brown from the seaweed. Cleaned them right up. Leaves are filling in fast from the super trim I did a few days ago. PH has finally stabilized for the moment. Holding around 5.9.
Twizzies are getting close to a foot tall and covered with hairs. Coco Planet of the Grapes has roots coming out the bottom of the Radicle grow bag everywhere (the new white Radicle pots I am trying) It’s getting warm life is good. Hope everyone is having a great week.

One thing I learned whne I grow many pots like you (same space also) is that I need to defoliate very offen to ensure good grow ON ALL plants - it’s a challage – looks like yu have it in check, Have 5 plants been in veg for 30+ days (didi one heavy defoliation ans a bunch of small one’s) NOW that I have the plant “shaped” goin to 12/12 ( somw remove all fan leaves before flip - this ensures that there is nothing blocking the light to bud sutes (More Light+More Buds !! ) Great looking plants

Another day another bit of growth…Trizzy #2 (far right side) once the runt is not any longer 14" tall this morning and well into pre flower, Trizzy #1 is hanging in there at 11.5" and is even more pre flower. The Hydro stayed stable yesterday and was at 6.1 this morning; added 2.5 gal. of double strength nutes didn’t PH the water @ 3.45 and it came down to 5.88. 2.5 gal. into 13 in the buckets. Water is just a tad high, but they will drink that up quick. POTG in coco (front left) is doing great as well a little pale in color, gonna up the nutes to full strength she is at 12.5" with 6 sets of branches so should be able to take the nutes.
Here they are, gonna have to defoliate again, room is getting crazy crowded with leaves…
Hope everyone is having a great weekend !

Great looking plants — and NO kidding my space is simmular, reason I mentioned is that I did a defoliation before 12/12 to open up bud sites , not too late to defoliate . BUT you will find that you will always be taking a few leaves as they grow, consider a heavy defoliation in week 4 of flower, which I always do. Healthy plants and a massive amount of green in that space !!!

Thanks!.. that was the third defoliation and it won’t be the last lol. Cut a bunch of lower limbs off this morning after this pic. Trying for some monster top buds this time. They biggest one won’t do that as I have topped it at least 6 times, it’s gonna be a bunch of little buds.

cut/pull the lower stuff (small buds,ect) because they are not getting any light anyway. here is waht was told to me about defoliation; the site/area you defoliate/prune has to be twice the size of the leaf you are removing- a goof reference

Well about a week since I took em down to sticks, they just passed second full week of 12/12, gonna have to start defoliating again, getting to thick to see anything and the poor Twizzler autos are getting buried in the corners.
The big POTG is now 42" from top of hydro bucket to the top bud. They are making lots of hairs, I think these buds are going to be pretty good sized.
Twizzler is getting frosty…

Well here we are at the three week mark since the flip. The one POTG in the back right continues to grow like a weed lol…the runt on the front right continues to be a runt. The other two center left are right inbetween and both the one in the front and the one behind are almost like identical twins. The tall one on the far left is the POTG in pure Canna coco. And I wanted to do a trial with the TPS nutrients because I had so much trouble with the TPS in the hydro buckets when I first started, so I decided to try the TPS out in pure coco. I also have to say that I don’t think it was the TPS nutes, but rather my boneheaded insistence on continuing with the rain water that was giving me so much trouble with wild swings in PH. My PH is pretty stable now with the RO water. I adjust it a couple times a day, and it holds for 6 hours or so. My system is small, so I think that it is because of the rapid uptake of the nutes in the water. In any event they don’t seem to mind the swings in PH they are healthy and dark green so …if they are happy I am happy lol.
You can see the two far red Rapid LED boards I mounted in the center between the two flower lights I hung a couple of weeks ago. Those things are INTENSE. The two Twizzler autos I will update on the Twenty20 auto thread. The pics are with and without the flash on the camera.
Hope all are having a wonderful day, great growing to all !!
