Thanks man. Good to see you around

Bout 70-75% of the grow is done. Definitly getting harder and harder to look at these things and not want to chop them down

Very fruity smelling aroma when you smell them up close but other than that my house just smells like I picked up a really dank sack or something. You know the smell when you pickup a sack and your whole car reeks? yeah thats my house , even with the 400CFM fan/scrubber combo in the tent. Its pretty gnarly.

Day 61​

Plants are looking super sexy today. First time I've checked on them in about 4 days and the size increase is noticeable to say the least. Plus the smell is overwhelming.

Still on track to harvest around day 80-85 - I plan on adding the "gravity" around the middle or end of this week and running it all the way to harvest (minus the flush of course)

Thanks for the major compliments man. Even if one person ends up having a better grow from this journal my mission will be complete.

Right now the only nutrients i'm using are advanceds' Sensi Bloom A+B and Big Bud. I just add 4ml per gallon of big bud and then equal amounts of A+B until my desired PPMs are reached. During the veg phase I only used Sensi Grow A+B . Also I add 1 tsp of bleach per 15 gallons of tap water and it seems to have really helped with my slimy roots and foam inside of my smelly res. Now my water is just clean smelling and clear, no root rot here.

Thanks for the input man... Looks like I'm off to the store in the morning for some big bud... What's your take on bud candy by AN? Wouldn't mind seeing some root action in the next photo updates either dude. Keep on keeping on buddy!

I wouldn't waste my money on the bud candy man. I'm getting amazing results with just the A&B and Big Bud, no sense wasting money imo.

About that root action? I'm not sure what you mean. I can show pics of the roots when I harvest but until then I can't pull the plants out or else they'll die so... yeah no root action lol

LGM,
Thought u had 10" bucket lids they sat in... Didn't realize your buckets wer fill with hydroton. So another question for you about the big bud, do u run it the whole flower time minus the flush?

Yeah this time I ran big bud all the way through flowering. This is my first grow using the big bud liquid and I am really a fan. Just did a res change and added the gravity and even now I'm still using about 2ml big bud / L of H2o.

 

[lilgreenman]

No pictures because I've misplaced my camera charger . grr.

However, its day 69 and the plants are looking fantastic. I'm happy to report that the gravity is working very noticeably; the fan leaves are all turning yellow a little bit but the nugs are getting rock hard and white hairs quickly turning to brown. Even though the crop looks about the same size as the last i'd be willing to bet its at least 25% more because the nugs are so damn dense.

Been having a problem with ppms rising and ph dropping and i'm attributing it to the shock from the gravity. I plan on diluting the res with 15 gals of fresh water to drop the ppms to about 1100 and we'll see what happens from there.

How much longer do you figure?

How much longer do you figure?

15-20 days. who knows. they are looking pretty done now but i'll let them ripen up and flush for a couple weeks before I chop. I'm guessing day 80-90.
