(did my post work this time? Yes? Good!)
My keyboard works again!

Forgive me I'm trying to write this very fast.

Vacation was great left for two weeks. MIL watered the plants but tha is all she knew how to do so when the temp dropped she had no clue it was even a concern nevermind knew how to fix it. But all is well things are always behind anyways.

Here we go The outside monsters were in the flower room under 1 400w hps. They were a little stunted from the cold but are developing nicely. There were the 2 sativas in that bunch that auto flowered back and forth a few times. When we came back we harvested the very tops but they were so dense with leaves in a tight knot the buds were rather small. After that the rest of the remaining 2 stalks and all their branches filled out rather nicely and another section of them was ready for harvest. The other plants are doing well and look to be in about week 4. Some are doing better than others, and there are some pots(remmber a few have 2 plants per pot) where you can really see the competition for resourses. I fed them right before I left, and again just the other day. They aren't doing as well as they would have since I couldn't take all the roots when I dug them up but right now they are a blessing.

There were also the flowering plants in 1gl grow bags I was moving in/outdoors. I put them in the flower room when I left along the monsters. They barely grew while we were gone and we were lucky to get 1-2 grams off each. (just wait yes I have discovered another weak link and am dealing with it but I will get to that soon). The plants were left under their own 400hps.

We harvested them once we got back and I spread the monsters right out and trimmed out some undergrowth. We have so deficiency issues but we will make it to harvest. I also discovered a small case of mites which isn't spreading at all yet, I removed the most damaged brances and what little of the mites were left haven't made any advances yet, I'm watching closely.

The Mite thankfully eliminated a few choices to make. It doesn't make since to infect the whole cycle once I start it up again so I'm not putting any of my vegging plants in flower until, the monsters are harvested and the room is completely dissinfected. At the same time Buddy is coming in and installing thermostates and heaters and rearranging my existing ventilation system to get ready for winter. After that the vegging plants can move up.

I'll give you a chance to read while I type....

(pause)

Anyways the vegging plants. Remember they were living outside full time on flats. Just to be safe when we left we moved them up allong out back tree line(also the back of out neighbors behind it) It's thick with undergrowth and once we moved some tufts of grass around the flats and pots I couldn't find them all at first when I got home. But like I said it was a little chilly here and they weren't in the direct sunlight they were used to all day so they weren't to much bigger when we got back. They've only ever recieved one does of ferts and for the last 3-4 weeks have had nothing but strait water(remember this for later). The little clones in the 4" pots did well or at least stayed alive which is fine by me, they have never had ferts.

Of course the mothers grew a little but really not much at all. However my acocpolco gold mother is now back in veg, the shoots are small right now but as soon as they are ready they are going to be taken as clones, that poor plant has had it and should just be mericifully killed after I get this one last thing from it. She's treated me so well. The mothers are back inside the veg room under the 400wmh. In front of them are 18 vegging plants in growbags. Before I left I Attempted to fim them all when I left, didn't work again, I'll get it some day. Some of them kept growing some bushed out. But since I've been back I've been bending them all. All the topps get bent over in different directions just enough so that they stay curved over for a while, the longer the better so long as I don't dammage or kink the stalk. They are picking up a little now that they are warm and bushing out slowly, but not as fast as you would think being this long in veg they are between 10-14" and the biggest I've had in veg in a long time(H always rushed me to harvest, harvest, harvest, so yes I am guilty of cutting corners). Some are showing a few deficiencies specifically K which is often linked to an excess of salts, but they've only had water the last 3 weeks, and only been fed a 3/4 dose before(I rarely use full, with all my probles).

Anyways The mothers and vegging plants take up all 4 flats under the light and there is no room for clones. I had way to many to fit them all under my clone lights so I threw about 12 of the sadest ones out. But I still didn't have enough room, and couldn't stand to needlessly kill good plants. So I wen't searching the junk pile behind the garage and the dumpsters over at the trailer park.(No I do not live in a trailer park! We own a 4 Season house in cottage country 2 minutes from the lake.) I found 3 18" long sections of rain gutters and the pots fit perfect so I put them up on the walls above the vegging plants around the grow room under the mh bulb. They all fit now. I'm bending them as I can and have a few at about 8" don't worrky they aren't rrotbound, I know.

Now that you are caught up
