YO MotAvation, whats good man .thanks for stopn thru. My bad on a late reply.

Anyways Just a QUICK UPDATE tell tonight . as for now im hedn to a fellow farmers to take down sum clones of THe Blue Cheese .as well as (i think) AK 48,bubblegum and OG Kush witch im pretty sure were all feminized seeds. So i just finished with a water change and am now feeding aggressive VEG nutes . The Blue CHeese seems to be a VERy strong strain and can handle a hell of a load, now on the other hand im not so sure about the Violator Kush.This is my first time flowering the VK ,so im not really sure what to expect(ANY INFO ON VIOLATOR KUSH IS WELCOME) i have had both of my mothers going from seed for about 7 months (and has supplied a lot of clones) WEll i gota get goin but FULL update TONIGHT WITH LOTS OF PHOTOS (cuz that what everyone really wants to see)

 

[BubbaDank]

Well everyone things are lookn beter every water change.I bumped up my Nutes to Aggressive GROW ,then in 7-10 days ill go to transition for another week. Havent had much ph movement at all either witch is wonderful (takes about 2 to 3 days to go from 5.8 to 6.2-6.3) well im way tired so im just gonna post sum pics of the my clones and a few of my mother plants.Then in the morning ill post the pics of my wonderful Blue Cheese trimming session i had earlier in my day and the pics are way nice

Below is a photos i took after my water change today

The next photo is one i took to show the bend were i pinched and bent the clone

(Below) OG-Kush

(Below)Bubblegum(Colorado? )

This photo is a plant that is got a few more weeks

EnJoY TonIght i will post updates on THe Blue Cheese &Violator Kush

 

[BubbaDank]

OK so ,I totally blame this late night update on my buddy ,one bowl of his blue cheese and here I am trying to type this out (SLOWLY)way STONED!!!!

So everything seems to be going as normal as i could hope for.The Blue cheese has never been a hard strain to maintain, it has always been a plant that can handle high doses of food,and loves to be bent and SLAPED around a lot..The Violator on the other hand has been a little slower on taking a liking to the nutes at the current strength (no burning tho) Yet i do see new growth so cant all be bad. (someone let me know what they think about the looks of the Violator kush)


A run-threw on how long they have been in VEG.
THe first 6 Blue Cheese are on day 17 of 18/6 lighting,and the Violator Kush is on day 4 of 18/6 lighting.

PH-6.14 I adjusted it back to 5.7
water/temp-23.8 c room/temp-79.1f humidity-37%
ppm-1240

Below are some Photos To EnJoY

OK so i decided id add my collection of feminized Seeds

P.S. i will not be Updating again tell the end of the week But i will be on daily for comments and replys Thanks And EnJoY

[BubbaDank]

Ok so i just took 6 Blue Cheese clones and 6 violator Kush clones .That i will be vegging for a week after they take root. Then their going in 1 gal grow bags. I will be feeding them all part fox farm ,and my medium is Sunshine Professional grow mix #4 (soil-less medium) Photos tomorrow

 

[BubbaDank]

ok so i think it to much NITROGEN am i on the right track SUM-ONE PLEASE TOSS SUM INFO MY WAY!!!!!!!!

 

[herbsnbuds]

If your temps and PH are constantly like you've described, it must be the nutes. I had a problem early on with too little Nitrates. Then I added some and my yellowing went away. Try reducing the veg nutes to a lighter concentration and see if the problem persists. Only way to tell is trial and error.

HEy man thanks for the insight ya i noticed my res has dropped about 3 gal so im just going to do what u stated and change the solution back to a lower strength and then add as needed . Trial and error is the only way to learn THANKs again herbsnbuds

Hello Bubba, I've been biting my tongue but that shit hurts. I'm just gonna come out and speak:
Why the cool tube with no ducts? And why is the light so high?
If it's only 400w, get it down there where the action's going to be.
A bare bulb is brighter, and light is what you pay for.

Lean nutes, bright light = rock 'n roll music!

Another thing: That plastic sheet over the grow medium has got to be slowing down,
if not stopping air exchange. Not good
Worried about algae with light on the rock? 2 or 3 days of strong light vegging will shade it out.
Strong light is the only way you will get bigger buds and cola development.
You can't do it with nurients alone, because they don't make much difference.
Not like light and air do.

Visit Gator's Cage , and see what I'm doing, how, and why.

whats up gator thanks for stopping in , and THank u For speaking up IM glad u did . my light is 18 inches away ,i must have just lifted it to work . and the plastic i have over my medium? I didnt know if it was good or bad but it sounds bad, and seems to make more sence to me now . I will be removing it asap . Now the reason i have no ducting hooked up at the moment is because its not needed my temps are 75-80. i do have all the ducting and will be venting when temps get high enough (why the cool tubes ITS ALL I GOT AT THE MOMENT MAN) anyways i got plenty of fresh air being blown in and plenty of air circulation


again THanks for speaking ur mind and setting me straight

 

[BubbaDank]

OH Yeah JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS THIS IS MY FIRST EBB AND FLOW SO ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE WELCOME THANKS

 

[Propa Gator]

I have 8 plants, all 10 to 12" away, in the sweet spot of a bare 400w HID.
When I asked "Why the cool tube", I meant hood, but it doesn't look hoody.
IMO, 18" is much too far, plus the glass absorbs light. Until your heat needs control, you could remove the socket/mount assembly and run it bare. Don't worry about lighting the ceiling, you'll still put more light on the plants.
Better yet, if you have two 400s, run them both over your table down low.
I'd like to see you grow some major, donkey dick size colas.

 

[herbsnbuds]

Actually the plastic will help with keeping the humidity away from the buds when you start to flower. Its not a bad idea, just may be a matter of opinion. If your pumping air into the nutes, keep it on. As long as there is some circulation underneath everything, you should be ok.
