Cool, I bought some hemp string for $1.50 and went to town, the big girl is safely tied up, now i'm wondering if i need support for the main stem. maybe a bamboo shoot tied to it.

Hey Turbo I found my way to your post of week 6 and those look just beutiful!!! How many weeks do you flower yours before harvest?

[TurboALLWD]

thanks man! wait till you see week 7. I'm going to lay off the nutes at the end of the week and use clearex on them for a couple weeks. ro water is giving me weird ph readings. I don't know if i have a bug problem or if my ph is off but i'm getting yellow spots on the tiny female.

I see you use hemp cord or string to tie your plants back. It has been a long standard practice in gardening to use no organic materials when tying or supporting any type of plant. Nylon stockings, plastic insulated wire or bare metal wire, for tying the branches rather than using cotton or sissal or hemp. For stakes I'd use metal or plastic pipe, trellis or other supports over wood. The organic materials can support harmful bacterias, virus, bugs etc. much better than plastics, metals and such materials. For example, Grandma used to cut nylon stockings into strips to tie plants.

I'll definitely take that suggestion into consideration! hehe I was higher than a kite when i bought that hemp string. I've got some spare stockings left over from the charcoal filter so that makes things easy. thanks man

I'll be updating the pic's in a few hours, the chocolope got big! haha and 2 more sprouted so that gives me 3 chocolopes and 5 bubblegums left! Although one bubblegum is scrawny as hell and most likely will never make it out of the bubble cloner. Tied down the 2 bubblegums in the 12/12 hydro, trying LST. I forgot to mention the runt tagging along with them, that would make 6 bubblegums. I won't count her because of how deformed and mutated she is.

Ph is 5.8 on both hydro setups, big one runs 900ppm and the small one is at 600 ppm I know, i'm forcing them to eat a lot.
