Rifleman's - Multi-Strain Auto Grow - 600W - Hydro

Day 30.

Although everyone gained height overnight again, I felt like Q1 looked rough today. She had that I'm okay just a little hungover look. She also drank as much as BK, 2.5 quarts. My theory is she was taking the brunt of the fan action so I moved her and the fan a bit. We'll see how she responds. Water Added tonight had a PH of 5.7, all buckets topped off. Data and photos below. Last cannaporn until Friday or Sunday, unless I walk in tomorrow and BK is 42", then I'll have to post a pic or burst. :)


Q1 down 2.5quarts, PH 5.9, grew 1.25", now 25.75"

Q2 down 2.0 quarts, PH 6.0, grew 2.5", now 32.5"

ST down 1.0 quarts, PH 5.9, grew 1.75", now 16.75"

BK down 2.5 quarts, PH 5.9, grew 3.5", now 38"

Really loved reading your journal, great looking plants there. I'm onto day 29 of my first ever grow, so its real nice to see other peoples pics and how their plants are doing.
And after reading all of this i've realized i haven't thought that i need to change the water in my hydros eek. Still, learn something new each day as they say
 
Day 31

I took a look at the girls tonight after I got the hogs slopped for a quick check of water levels and PH. YES you must do these things nearly daily to keep them looking nice, but it's a lot easier with the AN PH Perfect nutrients. I usually only adjust down two days after a water change now instead of every day with another brand I've tried. I took a few minutes to wrap some extra long gas tube cleaning pipe cleaners around BK's main stalk and out to her arms. Experience has taught me she is going to get top heavy and her delicate little joints might snap.

I know this sounds Insane:goof: but there were height gains again. In 24 hours they grew between 1.25" and 2.75" I raised the light... again. It has been averaging ~9" above BK. I spread everyone out so I could get good solo photos and now I'm worried about BK and Q2. They seem so long and leggy. Almost bare compared to Q1 and ST. I'll post them Sunday evening so everyone can see what I mean. I'll also take new ones Sunday so if there is a drastic difference we can compare them. I'll be adding 5.8 PH water to everyone in the morning after the chickens are fed, along with some ppm and ph readings just for my peace of mind.

Enough of my ramblings, tonight's data dump is below, enjoy.

Late to the show but really excited for Sweettooth, one of my all time favorites! On the recliner watching, footrest extended!

My first experience with ST. I still have two seeds. The only auto seeds I have left. Boooooo! Did you grow one or just partake? Review?

You sir are a life saver!
She who must be obeyed told me today we are going camping for 3 days, leaving tomorrow around 2. I have my grow taken care of but completely forgot I am going to need to change out their water and get at least 3 days of food out for my "other" girls. On the bright side when we get home we should have over a dozen eggs waiting on us:circle-of-love: Love those fresh organic eggs.
 
Around 1978 we had what was claimed to be Panama Red. Not sure what it was but it was Not the Mexican commercial weed we were used to. One or two hits was it. Was only around that one Fall. It was about then that I sent away to Holland for a seed catalog. Was about 6x8 maybe 6 pages, looked like it had put together with a copy machine and an old Swingline stapler. It had things in it like Skunk #1, NL, etc. I carried it with me through my time in the Army, wishing and waiting. Many years later I am finally growing my own and yet long for the giggly days of the dirt weed making me lose time. Let me throw this out here while I'm at it. Does anyone else fell like today's cannabis has less of a punch than that of our youth? I remember laughing so hard I couldn't breathe, but have not found that in the five or six years I've been smoking again.
 
I seem to be meaner to my seeds. I started with 6 seeds from cali connection.
Put them in top soil in a try outside and let natural selection pick a winner.
Four germinated three weeks later one was left.
She got transplanted into a 5 gal pot and has been happy ever since outside.
Get some bud let the rest seed and I know I got some premium genetics going for me there.
This just comes from my experience as a gardener, but trying to keep weak plants alive is annoying.
Let nature choose show you the winners from the start and crop after crop will be worry free.
I get the feeling that is an uncommon sentiment here though.
