And lastly some pics that are a few days old to show you what ive been dealing with , caught the brown algae and since then i have been using some tea that is brewed at the local hydro shop and root growth has took off since i changed res and solution and added the compost tea. All of the white root new growth was not there 2 days prior and before i did the res change and added the tea and water is clear and smells fine and plants same happy so we will see..........Madden came out so lucky me i have something to help pass some time lol

ROOT ROT! Told ya to run some beanies. That root system (even if it didnt have root rot) is not sufficient to flower in my opinion. I almost would switch them back to vegging and let the roots recover and then flip them to 12/12.. But i dont know. Maybe someone with more experience can give you some ideas.

Im not for sure how those rocks you have are going to do. Hydroton and clay pebbles hold a certain amount of moisture and is perfect for using in hydro and root system. Good luck! Wish you the best.

Yeah the roots look dark in the pictures. That's not a good sign. You might want to jump over to the hydro section for advice on that, I really cant advise you on the best course of action.

Iam not going to go back to veg the plants they are random bag seeds and this is all just a learning exp. I have some seeds on the way from herbies , at this point iam most concerned about the sex of the remaining plants as i just discovered balls on one of my big outdoor plants which sucks but oh well. I just dont wanna waste time and materials on males so for now on i will just use ordered seeds and yes i did add some bennies and my roots look much better they grow almost 2'' a day

re: Guttamanes First Box Build & Grow Attempt 2014

Still here guys , my order from herbies came (10seeds) and I decided to grow the super silver freebie first solo in my veg box and I also ended up with 2 females out of 5 plants so I gave away my smaller female and kept my biggest one and cut 2 clones here she sits at about 3 weeks into flower and I am getting pistols everywhere. Iam excited about the super silver haze that i have germinated , its hard to see but it has sprouted fairly quick i put the seed in a glass of water thursday am and it sank so i put it in the rock wool later that day before it even cracked and she is on her way now. I am contemplating on how i want to grow it out so far iam stuck between another dwc and getting some fox farms soil. I would love to do a single plant dwc but if my clones pull through it will be tight for space in my veg box and soil pots are much easier to move around and utilize the space i have , not really pressed about the supposed faster vegative growth in dwc because my flower box is occupied anyway so the slower veg growth may help give extra time to finish up whats in my flower box now before i run out of space in my veg box.

Damn this thing is stretching , it was about 7 inches when i flipped it to flower and has outgrown my box and is near 3 ft ,so i had to move my light rig and put the plant outside my box but she is doing well and pistils are stacking up nicely. I couldnt help my self i ordered some northern lights and lowryder autos that should be here tuesday.

This is a pic from 8/15 the girl iam finishing up is in front right of this pic and this was one day before i flipped to flower it was approx 6.5 inches.

re: Guttamanes First Box Build & Grow Attempt 2014

She is getting BIG! Congrats!

re: Guttamanes First Box Build & Grow Attempt 2014

yeah man , she has surprised me big time how much it has grown in the last 30 days its amazing. First few weeks of flower have been boring but now its seems things have picked up and its drinking about a gallon of water every other day or so. That compost tea is amazing in Dwc.

re: Guttamanes First Box Build & Grow Attempt 2014

Here is a few pics guys , first I have my female super silver haze and lemon kush begging alongside a few healthy clones then I have 2 northern lights autos in 3 gallon geo pots in some fox farms soil that just sprouted and are on 20/4 under a mix spectrum of 6500/2700k CFLs and last is my flower girl which is around week 5 since flip and 3 weeks since first pistil its under a 150w hps and 4 2700k cfls.

re: Guttamanes First Box Build & Grow Attempt 2014

Yeah man its an awesome hobby , I decided to get a hps light so hopefully it will fill out those budsites I have been ordering up autos so hopefully I will have some homegrown meds soon.
