[Greatstage]

Alright, it's time for a new update .. The ww/bb seed is now 17 days and the PK is 11 Days, trying to check if it's able to see some sex on the plants, but it's totaly impossible .. so i''ll give them some more Days.

Also filled up with 50L New fresh water and added some nutrients.

Cheers, myown are now 3 weeks and the PK is 15 Days, same size tho. So it's time for some top shoppi'n, build a new vegg room for the mothers,seeds and so on. and turn the timer to FLOWER 12/12 and as i said about the activitis in the house. I will go from 19:00 - 07:00 to avoid the light during the day time.

also recived a packet with some new hydro buckets, dunno why i bought the Square, was like 50c each so they were cheap, hehe ..

Also got a new water bucket, haven't decied yet if i shall use it for clones, mothers or just more vegg. How had you done peeps

Alright, let's fix some walls. it shall Always be easy to put up and easy to remove!

That should be enough, just som plastic over this now and we are ready to go!

alright, here we are .. x2 of 58w .. that would be enough for this plants, temp around 23C

So this is my first time of testing hydro .. So i hope Everything should work out untill the harvest .. i do like both, depends on what day it is ;-) .. but i Think sativa got the lead .. like the uplifting .. anyway, i don't have any specally expect of this grow, since it's my first time of using hydro .. im just going all in and hope for the best, im just happy if i get to the harvest stage with happy plants .. And all thanks to you and for your time to comment!

Alright, 3 day in bloom, 2nd day after they have being chopped and ofcourse the drippers had fell of 3 of the plants, so they looked really sad, but hopefully they repair untill tomorrow, except that the rest of the 50 potslooks good and healthy ..

[Greatstage]

Alright, 2 Days have past and here we are, the ww/bb is 25 Days and 3 Days in flower and the PK is 17 Days.

ehm, and the Pictures are still coming up side down ..

quite annoying .. have been here for nearly 4 weeks and only 2 have been showing that they are males .. never tho i would be this lucky if the other are Girls .. anyway, removing this 2 daddys and hope i get a Purple Kush male, if so i will save it for some produce ..

and as i said Before, 17 Days, 3 in bloom and the PK is still looking good, twi twi twi!

while the watering is pumping i need a new rolled by the last harvested OG Kush & Lemon Haze, Beautiful!

High GS,
You have a sweet grow and clone system going there. How long you been growing?
Is this your 1st journal?
From the tone of your post I can tell you are looking for more input from the forum.
Do you have any idea how many new journals are created in a given week? I gotta be subbed to at least 40 journals. It's hard to keep up with them all sometimes.
When I clicked on your profile I noticed all your posts were in your journal.
I encourage you to visit other grows and comment. When you make a comment in a post you are subbed or subscribed to it. Go to journals that interest you and comment. There are growers on the forum with huge followings. Go where the traffic is and share your comments.
When people see your comment, they can click on your signature link and visit your grow.
Another thing I suggest is to give likes and thanks freely.
Hope this helps. I once felt like that.

Alright! here we are, the myown has now been for 30 Days, the PK around 3 weeks and 5 Days flowering.
Everything seems to going on well, some drippers has fell of and i have removed around 2 plats coz they got to far behind.
and the Girls are starting to Wake up : )

also the PK are growing well as u can see, they have also covered up good from the toppi'n

this one was 2 beauti to top right now, i want some plants to get done faster in the flowing stage, so i will keep some of the plants for just one top and one big fat cola

Starting to look like something : )

also found and removed 3 more males today, still many left that haven't show their sex yet tho ...

Also the bubbling plants seems to be really happy and creating Amazing roots right now and get beautifull, it atleast hope these well turn out into Girls so i can top it and start with the clones, it's 6 PK and 5 MO right now ..

 

[Rifleman]

A couple of things that might help. You should light proof that clear reservoir before you start growing algae in it, and if you're using a cell phone to take photos make sure it is sideways with the volume buttons on top. That will insure your photos are upright when posted.

 

[Greatstage]

that info about the cellphone Pictures was awesome, it has been many times now i have wondered why they are upsidedown hehe ..
about the algae problem i Think it's np so far, i switch and water and Clean the table every week, and a air pump so i Think it's np.

Alright, 1 more day to go and finally u starting to see some females showing off : )

Also founded 2 more males .. that fast turned out to be around 10 of them .. so now there are around 26 pots left in flowering that seems to be greenie and happy ..

Also changed water today and cleaned off the table, also maked some Changes in the water system since it was 10 plants less, and the damn PK haven't showed their sex yet so i can't take any clones .. there is even no clones haha ..

ah just love the look of this 4 weeks old ww/bw with the big nice leaf and so strong tribe, just awesome.

also the bubble box are doing great, just love it! and the plants seems to do it too, have been in here for 1 week now, it's riddicoulos .. just the difference .. 1 week ago,

today, and i was afraid in the beginning that 116w isn't should be enough but they seems to be happy about it.
also the roots got progress, awesome!

and comeoooon PK, 3 weeks from seed now but no sex yet, or even clones, but they look greeeny and healthy and that's good enough for me using hydro for the first time, why have i been waiting so long .. hehe

i have forgot the new PK at all, so they have grown really tall .. and soon it's christmas so we will see how much time we will have for fixing this, but it will soon be done ..

 

[Greatstage]

Hello! now i come with a 2 Days old update since it has been christmas and so on, hopefully i get some new Pictures this evening, but i hope these works for now ..

Since the table was cleaned, new water and the nutrients was changed the pots got a nice boost

hehe, im taking the Pictures with my mobile phone at the right way now but it didn't mather, grrr .. anyway, MO is keeping to bushy
also keep remind that these pics are 2 Days old and alot have happend.

Also the PK that's in flower have starting to show the clones nicely for now, seems greenie and happy, i Think i got a prob THO .. i got 30 PK from seed and it looks like they have turned in to female all of em, and no male .. talking about a lucky in a unlucky situation haha .. and im not sure if i want to mix the pollen from MO male to the PK female ... hmm .. we'll see ..

and also in this loving box it's starting to get tight,the pot's looks really greenie and happy tho i need to move 5 of them into a new bucket for better space, get some clones and get it steady

 

[Greatstage]

BTW ... at the 3 th pic of the PK's in the corner .. u can see how the leaf's turning up .. why? is it for the light? for the heat?
have seen it on nearly every PK plant's .. just wonder if it's just a indica idea
