DJLoud3r,

Your girls are looking great. A little heat stress on a couple of those pics.

As for water, do you buy distilled water? I thought about that but met a professional grower that tells me (take this with a grain of salt) that the plants like and use the ppm in regular tap water. So to that end, this is how I handle my water. 5 gal buckets with an air pump. I aerate the water for 24 hrs. My city water has chlorine so the air helps evaporate the chlorine. I have 2 5 gal buckets of water on hand at all times. I am just too cheap to buy water. Just my 2 cents on the water.

Good job and will continue watching

He Maui, thanks for joining in! and sorry everyone else, been really busy with the new motorcycle, work and such, but will have photos up today! the ladies are looking insane, really feel i've got my room pretty dialed in, and for a newbie, kept mistakes to a minimum. Will definantly have to agree on the "leave them alone and let them grow" approach, so many times i've wanted to flush or do something drastic, to only wait a day or so to see that it wasn't even anything Just got a portable air conditioner, to help with temps, and so when the time comes i can drop it super low and get the blue color everyone talks about with the Raspberry. Cheers!

So the new portable A/C:

And what we all really want to see! those lovely ladies!

Thanks! Id like to think so! Had to move the air conditioner to a different circuit, it blew last night lol.

Thanks! Id like to think so! Had to move the air conditioner to a different circuit, it blew last night lol.

That happens to my air conditioner as well, thinking it needs its own timed surge protector... the girls look great, good job so far

What I had to do since I have both my Veg & Bloom tents in my bedroom was run a heavy duty extension cord from my bedroom AC to an outlet in the hallway. The hallway outlets are on a separate circuit breaker than our bedrooms. After a couple of trips to the kitchen to re-trip the circuit switch I knew what had to be done.

 

[BudBorer]

Great thread bro, just finished having a good gander at it. Those girls looks happy.

 

[StreetDweller]

Hey DJ,
Looks like a lovely forest you have a growing.
Great job!

 

[djloud3r]

Well thanks friend! Will be on top of uploading this time now that work has slowed down some!

 

[jg106256]

As i was reading through your journal all I could keep thinking as the plants got bigger was that I hope you didn't run out of space. We pot lovers tend to over plant.

 

[djloud3r]

Lol first indoor grow so height is probably going to be a challange with the two sativas. I think they are pure, because they have the slimmest leafs ive ever seen lol. Think im screwed? It's an 8ft tall bedroom, and I'd say the tallest is 3 feet as of now, and I'm 2 weeks and 3 days into flower. I can take the lights all the way up, one 600 one 1000w. Any ideas guys? Love to hear opinions

 

[jg106256]

Is there any chance you can ever so gently begin to bend it over and tie it down? If so, this can create the effect where each bud thinks it is the main cola and they all stand up and grow bigger than if they were not bent over. Same thing happens in a scrog setup.
