Not much to say, really. The grow is progressing well, all things considered. The weather is *still* giving me fits - we've barely had our first snowfall, which is like two months later than normal. Otherwise, the plants are healthy and happy.

One minor problem, it looks like this time around I've got a touch of algae in the reservoir. I've added some more hydroguard - it was time for it anyway - which should keep it in check. It doesn't seem to be hurting the plants at all, and isn't completely taking over, so I'm not going to worry about it now. And quite frankly, I'm not 100% certain it's algae. My nute isn't quite the same one I'm used to, so it may just be a bit darker than normal.

Oh, and for some reason my air stones are conking out already. I usually replace them after every grow, but for some reason they're just sort of puttering. I'll get some new ones this afternoon.

The garden: It's filled in quite a bit, but there's been almost NO vertical growth. I've never played with LST before at all, and it's kind of cool seeing how short the plants are. I've had problems in the past with them growing into the light at the end of the grow when I didn't have any room to raise it. Maybe I'll have to make the light LST I did part of my standard procedure.


Some bud porn. They're coming in nicely. If this grow mimics the last one, I'm two weeks and a few days away from harvest.
