PowerpuffGirl's 1st Bubbles Grow

[PowerpuffGirl]

Duct tape and twine are currently my best friends

Sorry I've been so quiet about this grow and on the forums. My weekdays have been jam-packed. I'm getting up an extra hour early so I can take care of the young ladies. I say ladies, but I'm in the second week of bloom and both plants have shown their boobs! Yay, bud sites!

I'm uploading some photos now from today's res change, so another status post shortly.

2/20: Day 60, Day 54 out of rockwool for SLH and WC, Day 11 BLOOM!!!

The pH has been really stable since the last res change, staying between 5.8-6.0 for both plants. With the res change today, I targeted a little higher to allow for the different optimal pH ranges for nute absorption. The EC wound up a little low for the SLH, but I'll bump her up at the next replenish. Oh, had to edit in because I forgot before - I did 10 days of transitional nutes once I started blooming - FF Big Bloom, Grow Big and Open Sesame. Today is the first day of using bloom nutes - FF Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom and Open Sesame.

Now that I have all three T-5 lights in the closet, it really is like being outdoors in there! The SLH outdistanced the WC in growth this week, but I found one of the airstones had disconnected during the week on the WC while I was doing the res change, so that may have had something to do with it. I added some pink girly twine for support of the branches.

My camera's got a few years on it, and I can tell now that I want to take more detailed pics. Plus there's the skills of the camerawoman to consider! Oh well, a new camera just isn't in the budget.

Yeah, I'm using the solubles along with the regularly scheduled liquid nutes. I'm almost done with 3 weeks of Open Sesame. I started that the last week of the grow cycle. With my next res change on Saturday, I'll switch to @ a week and a half of Beastie Bloomz, then I'll switch to Cha-Ching until the end.

The buds are more developed on the White Castle at this point. The Super Lemon Haze has been crazy shooting up vertical growth, so I'm having to tilt her.

Plants look great! You definitely have things under control. Super Lemon Haze was the Cannabis Cup winner this year, congrats on growing an award winning strain!

Keep up the great work!

Plants look amazing! I also use Fox Farm and have good results with using those solubles. Good product for sure.

Can't wait to see that Lemon Haze fully bud. One killer strain for sure. A two time cup winner and a local favorite!

i was wondering about picking up those soluables but they are expensive....do they make a huge difference? power are u using them to?

Originally I thought I might do my first grow without solubles and the second with and see how much a difference it made, but then they arrived in the mail... all my good scientific intentions went out the window.

I ordered the FF solubles trio from Cheap Hydroponics. It saved me a few bucks compared to picking them up at HTGSupply locally.
