First indoor grow

[VAGUEtrain]

thanks guy, i appreciate all the kind words, comments, and help.
the nut burn is def something that happened im sure, i need to flush them... but were using a 15 gallon res... and its not the easiest to manuever. so i had an idea.... which would be to use two 5 gallon bucks.. put the drains into one 5 gl.. and pour one 5 gal slowly into the ebb n flow tray.. that way we dont have to mess with the res of nutes.. we change the res about once to twice a week now... feeding 3 times a day at 30 minutes frm fill to drain. and the Himalayas are grubbin down on it. every 3-4 days we need a new res worth.. i just have to sack it up and flush.. and takes the nutes down a notch.


truly thank you all. -vague

Good save on the AC vague, could have been a disaster. Good luck with the rest of your grow.

 

[StonerGrower]

Darnit...I was just about to give ya advice. Good thing ya got the new ac! is your light air cooled? Thats one way to lower temps. Got any new pics? Ya know we crave pictures now!

i may have been wrong on how old they are... 52 days old.

 

[Doctor Dread]

Look at those stigmas.... wow nice job man

 

[VAGUEtrain]

just a bit of an update for all of you guys, harvest will be taking place a week early at 9 weeks. we could easily go on, but weve started the flushing process, and our Himalaya Gold clones are fucking monsters!!!! huge ladies at 22" tall.. with an attempt to FIM the tops. The plants you see flowering. were topped and put in at 17" so well be getting more yeild from them. i got to work more on my growroom expansion today (finally a day off) so while im playing around ill take some pics. oh and by the way. theyve been flushing on 5.8ph water since sunday.

 

[VAGUEtrain]

hewy guys, harvest has come. we harvested both himalya golds at 8 weeks 6 days, on seven days of flushing. i named the pictures plant one and plant two... plant one was the HG that was overpowering the room, which led us to expand the rooms. so plant 1 was the heavy yeilder i beleive coming in near 12 ounces wet.. we didnt weigh the second plant wet because it was runty and had a lot of popcorn buds, that were thrown into the bags of shake. we got a 3 bag kit for bubble has so they will go to a good cause anyway heres the result...

Oh and as well.. in the drying room which you can obviously see... plant one was all hung on the top string, as the second runty plant was all hung on the second... and 3 trader joe paper bags containing all the shake. i will update on how much the dry wieght is. thanks for all help and such. curing will actually be taking place soon. again, thanks! CHEERS!!! vague

hey guys, final weight was about 4 and 3/4 ounces, and 4.5 ounces of trim. all in all i think its a good yeild for the first. thanks to all. this journal can be closed.
