Very cool bro, let me take a seat and enjoy the show. This time I got front row seats.
Good luck!

Day 2 of 12/12 obviously no flowers yet, but got everyone topped, lolly poped, and cropped. Will slow their explosion in the two weeks of growth you normally receive when switching to 12-12. However I have grown four of these before and they really don't mind getting toped right before flowering. No popcorn for me only focusing on creating frosty tasty colas. Hung a light proof curtain in the clone room to block any chance of light escaping. Got some more colors of 2" neoprene covers today from amazon which will help to keep everyone organized. Each color represents a different plant. Moving some clones down under the mothers while I finish off the new NFT units switching up to more units with less holes. More like the one I built for my mothers.

Very nice, by looking at your set up I can tell you have invested a lot of time and work. Hopefully we will soon see a lot of mouth watering buds

 

[madscientist9]

The IP will be first and she is now 53 days from harvest and produces decent sized colas. Smoked myself close to dry so will be waiting on that one.

 

[madscientist9]

Did full res change bumped up to 1350 ppm with Advanced Nutrients + Rhino Skin + Bud Candy + Syszamine + Voodoo + Bud Igniter + Bud Factor X pretty much the full line for the grand master grow level minus tarantula and piranha.

 

[TheRoach]

That sounds like a killer formula Madscientist, I would love to have access to all of those nutrients!
Good luck brother.

When I grew smaller and wanted to use them I just went to ebay and you can by smaller portions of the nutes and have them shipped discreetly to your door. For me I am of the option garbage in garbage out so why use crap nutes when I can get the best

Well six days at 12/12 completed should be about another week till I see some flowers. They are looking great lots of growth this week the canopy is bouncing back nicely after the major trim. I know most prefer not to trim right before flower but with 8 types of bud it makes it easier to keep everyone on an even keel not to mention they only focus their energy on top shelf bud production and no wasted energy making popcorn bud.

Built two smaller units out of the second 23 holer, got some ideas coming up and think this design is going to work really well and can see it pumping out some weight in the near and dear future. Building the screen for these two this week and have a nice idea cant wait to see if it works. Using lots of the parts and pcs I have lying around

Also been working on tracking how much energy each part of my grow uses to maximize the amount of lighting I can get without creating red flags of energy usage. Had a leaky toilet for a little over a year lol and with it fixed and the amount of water consumption is actually down and that's with the making of a lot of RO/DI water. I must tell you I was surprised with how well the cfl's were working in the clone room for growth. Obviously its no hid or led but does well and keeps it on the cheap. My clone "room" cost me .13 a day 3.70 a month or about 1.2 KWH of electricity a day, and this is 3 cfls + 1 on 5 off water timer for cloner + ph monitor

 

[Hungaluz]

nice intro, subbed

 

[madscientist9]

Added three kush x diesel and three bubblegums into the smaller of the two new units

 

[madscientist9]

Day 10 of 12/12 and IP has her first flowers and the canopy has kinda blown the f up in the past few days. The stretch has begun .............

 

[madscientist9]

Well 10 days into 12/12 lighting and a few have begun to flower should see flowers on the rest by the end of the week. The canopy is FULL to say the least. Added another 10 in second set-up. Going to work on cleaning up the bottoms this week as there is not really any use for the growth.
