Thanks for all your valuable support and contributions to this group @Antonio! And for sponsoring grows for the Cultivators’ Club. Maybe you could partner with a reliable, honest, efficient American re-seller like GasLampSeeds.com and they will help your brand rather than hurt it.

I don’t know Caitlin and Helene at GasLampSeeds.com personally, but I’ve enjoyed dealing with them for years. They ship out of California. They used to be called Hembra Genetics but had to change their name a few years ago. They only represent high quality breeders, and give high quality freebies.

I couldn’t move from the coach for hours yesterday - literally heavily coachlocked by just my dog sleeping on me…
Thx for all your input regarding seed pricing above the pond. Feeling the problem there, as it’s the same the other way round. Lots of interesting USA stuff only available by some “greedy” vendors. On top of that import not legal outside eu for my place. Makes things not easier for uk and usa imports and adding extra cost…
However, sometimes you’ve to bite the sour apple, go for that 10-20€ seed that’s only available as a 10 pack and get some true fire in return or to find that one outsstanding pheno to work with in the future.
With the limited drop, I really appriciated DP went with a three pack only this time and kept them somewhat affordable - at least to some of us - with the 30% off during 420.
Let’s check in again for a plant update:
Today it’s Day 42, sunny day of 11 1/2h of led light, luckily no clowds in the tent and the ladies couldn’t feel better. They got rid of some of the leaves again. It helps not just with the airflow and light penetration, but also to keep humidity in the tent between 42-47% at daytime, and around 54-55% during night. They are still only having Nova Bloom + Water, no boosters or other stuff added. DHL came today, so no feared food shortage for the rest of the grow.
@Antonio thx for your feedback! I’m adding new additional pics tomorrow.
It’s just too cool to see the daily progress of these beautiful flowers. Just the magic of past 2 days alone… Lovely colors on all 3 plants. that smell.
As usual tips and recommendations to make these tops even better are welcome…

Yeah bro, very nice to follow you along with this grow and big thanks for the support! 
I really appreciate it 
Regarding the grow, you have them in the sweet spot already and you are definitely doing proper canopy management as well, so not much to add from me!
Besides keep the canna-porn coming hehe

Here comes something different than the SMC - wife’s february seeded RTC Auto experiment doing crazy stuff, even the hugo dryed to the bone and she nearly lost the plant. Coco in a 1 gallon pot saved her (the plants…) live.
This RTC grew bigger than the first one , still very bushy.also 10x more sticky. Some early flower colorchanges towards soft purple on some buds. She took training like a champ, 1st top bend on day 18, flower started again around day 30-35. Wife left her mostly untouched besides taking out fan leaves, that showed later in branch spacing issues.since this one has no net, but lots of wiring, daily adjustments needed.
she’s not grown into the most perfect plant, but - and that’s why I’m sharing this one in the first place - she is damn forgiving. This one stinks like hell btw…
1st. Pic is for GasPlease, that’s the fucked up cube , i mentioned.
note on the above image that “clamp” used around two branches. one near entirely broke during the try to open her up carefully - just not careful enough, leaving only just a tiny little rest intact. the clamp is holding the branch back in position, the plant didn’t even react noticably bothered by that - instantly fixed - accident.
here she is in full sideview.

Thanks my friend for that kind words! Nice you enjoy following along and provide your feedback and insides. Canna porn incoming… opening the tent today felt like I’ve forgotten a box of overripe halfs of a honeymelon hidden somewhere in the tent since three days at 25C temp. That smell is porn and sadly I can’t take a picture of it…
Btw. Off topic, but you had this "Ask antonio anything " on dp’s social media. I really have a real question: what’s the name of your dog and can we please see that cutie in the show your pet section? Asking also for my Mini-Husky friend, that tends to coachlock me …

Yep that’s dry. Lol. Did you try poking something through the surface in a few spots?

Will try that over the next watering sessions. If it doesn’t work, she still has strong roots in the coco and it only keeps a little more frequent watering. plant also is a really thirsty lady.
anyway, thx bro!

So today I noticed one of the - not even 5 month old - fans stopped doing the swing move, instead it blasted straight onto a bud of pheno1. Kinda annoying reminder to not buy cheap china stuff - unless you’re in for spending a ton on replacement and / or love to mess around with no costumer support. That said, take this as my honest review of the spider farmer 6" fan:
Don’t buy it and thank me later.
Smcs doing great though today. Pheno 4 still shows the best overall performance to my liking. Frost on even the big leaves is insane amd beautiful to watch. Pheno 2 has some huge rows of dense and most fattest nuggets. Pheno1 is just a little late to the party - she will shine to the fullest when the other 2 left the stage already.
Lots of take aways from this run, even though it’s not done yet, already a good point in time to plan ahead for improvements and minimize downtime.

Pheno 4 at 20mins after lights on, Day 47. Sun is shiny, 51% RF 23 degree.
The ladies get their breakfast around 1-2h after lights on - most of the time. However, slight irregularities just adds tiny beneficial stressors in my expirience - there’s no 10 am rain in nature, it’s random, sometimes to the extremes, which we luckily can avoid in a tent. So instead setting a time in stone, lets just read the plants.
Pheno 1 adds still a lot of mass lately, Pheno 4 is really fun to see , as she loves that extra little bit of light under the canopy. Pheno 2 is just sitting inbetween 2 beautiful ladies while being the fattest. She feels a bit small yet she’s for sure gonna surprize taste wise.
Will add daily images till chopday.

Btw, something I’m really scared/worried about is the hop in our garden. I don’t have outdoor plants, so the hop never meets the weed plants but how evil can thing go? I removed most of the hop yet that shit is damn invasive, if there’s a gap inbetween soil , hop is top candidate to grow there without invitation… anyone an idea how to get rid of hop totally? That’s more of a general question - since it’s rooting as stupid and come out elsewhere, just to strangle other plants, ripping them all out is just impossible.

Hops grows from a rhizome, so you probably have to dig out all the rhizomes to stop it. That’s what I do to get rid of Bishops Weed, I don’t know how deep the hops rhizomes are. I dig out the Bishops Weed rhizomes down to 10" deep, but I never get them all, especially around the edges of my raised beds, so I have to keep digging them out every year.

I love that trait on phenos 2 and 4 where the trichomes grows in rows like white striped calyxes!!! Beautiful work bro, the force is strong in this one!!!
