Hydro Grow: ICE & B52

Man I sooooo love that box.Great work FloridaBud.Them sure are some fatty leaves!Can't wait to see the results!:peace:
 
Thanks Minus, StonerGrower, appreciate the support, I have a total of 4 B52's, and 2 ice, But the best part is knowing that all the Males are out, and now I can say I have all girls, 6 out of 20 not bad. :p I hooked up Co2 yesterday, and did my flush today.
I have a schedule sheet from Fox Farm Nutes, it says during flowering after weeks of Tiger Bloom to go back to Grow Big on week 3, & 4? and then weeks 5-8 would be both, Has anyone heard of this?

Ive seen the schedule. Not sure why they do that, maybe it boosts the low N right in the middle of flowering to help stave off premature yellowing? Thats just a wild guess though.
 
its not an either / or thing, at least for soil- it's a cocktail. are you using any of their soluble line?

nice plants!
 
Thanks Notreallyhere, Andy, thanks also, I hav not had any algae problems, I am running 4 12" airstones, and do a flush changeout once a week, It is a little slimy in parts of tub, but most of it is Norml. Is all of your holes covered so No light will get through to bottom tub?

I will post pics later today, been out of town this last week, You guys will be surprised how much they grew, I come home and was like Holy Shiit!! I think I will have height issues, might have to chain them pitbulls down!! lol

Yeah man start LSTing them. It will give you head room AND open the plants up to let more light in. Looking great
 
Here is update I will be needing to tie down at least 1 of my girls, There growing like crazy! clones are starting to root, so will be placing in Veg. tomorrow, I need a better camera, or digital Microscope so I can zoom in on trichs.

Cool man. They are nearly at the top of the box! Imagine if they were all fems you wouldn't have any room in there. That last pic looks like the beginning of a calcium deficiency, those spots on the leaves. Not sure what to do about that in hydro though.
 
^I think I should've started flower at 6" . The last pic is of the Ice, she gave me problems 3 weeks ago, and was only one out of all to get sick, think it was in the genes of her. Seems to be healthier now, no problems on new growth of her.
 
Lookin good man.I wonder if you just let them do their thing what will happen.
 
Thanks Minus, I had to tie them down, it was starting to burn flower.
Harry Red Thanks for the support.
I'm at Day 30. I got a little yellowing on some of the girls leaves, I had PH to low, didnt check for few days. I did flush yesterday and did 28 tsp big bloom, and 14 Tiger Bloom.
I hooked up Co2 few weeks back, Gurls are loving the co2. Box is working good so far. clones are in Veg. looking good, I did 4 Ice, and 2 B52's. Here are some pics.

Hey looks good man, Nice box.
 
Well, I have been slacking at keeping up with my thread, At day 40 I am done watching football so I did my flush again today, again with 2tsp/gal. Grow Big, and 1tsp./gal. Tiger bloom. I have been pulling out some of the yellow leaves that died from my PH problem 3 weeks ago. I need to get a ph tester (digital) the way I check is the solution that you add 5 drops to see where it's at. Well after they harvest, I'll need to invest in a good one.
I decided to put my 4 ICE clones into Flowering today, as they are around 6" 1 maybe 4" but realized my height issue from earlier. I hope they are ready for these nutes! I have 2 B52's still in veg. doing great, will wait another week to put in flower.
The B52 has really impressed me, they are getting really juicy looking and accidently rubbed my arm across one of the buds, it felt sticky and really smelly for awhile. It kinda has like a coffee, or tea smell. The Ice is smelling kinda fruity, and like grape.
Thanks for tuning in. Anyways Yall are wanting some BUD PORN, well here ya go.

... I need to get a ph tester (digital) the way I check is the solution that you add 5 drops to see where it's at. Well after they harvest, I'll need to invest in a good one...

Check out the milwaukee 600. I got mine for 20 bucks on ebay and works a whole hell of a lot better then my $50 Hanna Champ. Hanna CHamp had to be recalibrated after every use and eventually the calibration screw bottomed out. Now it reads 8.4 ph in 7.01 calibration solution. It screwed up my last grow I hate hanna now. My 2 cents ...

Plants look great man. You're gonna have a nive harvest. Clones look perfectly healthy. Nice work.
 
Nice looking Set-Up you have going on their!!!

What type of yields do you project out of your Opp

I do not know how familiar you are w/ the whole hydrotone scene but for me I had lot's of issues w/ PH and stabalizing it off...

IMO when it comes to hydrotone as a medium it can be your best friend or worst enemy till you finally get it dialed in... Soak it for Min 24 Hrs w/ 1/2 Grow Solution and Balance Ph to 5.0 has always worked for me...

As far as testers I really like the Oaktons they are very simple and they do not beat you over the head price wise...

Nice grow and Good Luck
