Day 1. Just got the babes home from the dispensary. This place has solid genetics so im anxious to see how they do.

Feeding with 3 part GenHydro 50% and superthrive.

10 days later...

Feeding with 3 part GenHydro full strength and superthrive. Also the L.E.D. seems to produce numerous nodes... stoked.


and 10 more...

Now they're in Bubponics. Started top feeding RapidStart. RapidStart has willow bark, its got what plants crave. Hoping to get those roots to drop.

Just FIM'd all 12 of these broads. Should produce more and/or denser colas.

gettin tall:

Just got the recirculating DWC hooked up finally. WOW the rubber grommetts were a pain in the ass... should've had a 1/16" bigger drill bit but i struggled through.

Same FIM'd top 2 days later:

Once the roots hit water they blew up... just like weedlizard thought they would:

1 week until flowering so I Charlie Brown'd them. Here's some before and afters.
Before:

After:

FIM'd top on a Purple Voodoo...

Got some trellis netting. Quite handy:

Intake fan pulling in some fresh air bits:

Big Bud Blueberry a couple of days later:

Just shy of a week after trimming and they're looking full again:

So this concludes vegetative growth. Tomorrow we go to 12/12!

Thanks gramps. posting more pictures as we speak...

 

[WeedLizard]

Now for the fun part...

? could be due to a minor light fluctuation. not real sure.

Rootastic:

Day 7: Just to clarify, 6 Mr. Nice on the right, 3 BBB front left, 3 Purp Voodoo back left. They are in two separate systems for more precise feeding.

 

[WeedLizard]

Hooked up the carbon filter:

Day 14:

Day 19:

Day 29:

Day 30: Looks to be phosphorus def. Adding a little P seems to have remedied the situation. New growth looks healthy.

Had to exhaust hot air directly out of the bedroom window because it was getting to hot in my actual bedroom. Room temps holding steady now, 80 during lights on and 65 during lights off.

No one has a clue whats going on up in here. LOL.

Day 35: Looking good so far. The purple voodoo is a monster.

On Day 40 as of April 8th. I will be taking more pictures tonight if anyone is interested. Until then.......

 

[WeedLizard]

Day 41, getting pretty close now. upped the day temp to 84 and increased CO2 slightly. I'm curious to see if ill notice a substantial difference.

BBB/PV:

Mr.Nice:

I LST'd this guy.

Mr. Nice top nug

BBB top nug

Also one of the Xtrasun magnetic ballasts shit out a couple of days ago. So i borrowed a digital Phantom. At least it wasnt both sides..

Its been real...

 

[WeedLizard]

I think you are doing a great job lizard. I like how you aren't killing them or anything. Which one is your favorite???

Thanks alot weedlizard, i'm trying very hard. It's good to hear from another member. I think I would have to say that i'm most stoked on the big bud blueberry as far as chronic nug goes. Although the mr. nice are looking pretty heady...

 

[CronicHempHog]

lol
they are looking good

It's such a nice setup man I love that caption under the window pic.

rapid start is the shit I've heard that home and garden makes another good root starter but I think I'm hooked on the rapid start.

 

[WeedLizard]

ya man, that shit is pretty good. willow bark extract is supposed to be awesome for roots. I've tried humboldt root and that stuff rocks too, but for the price i think rapidstart is the way to go. I think the home and garden one is exceleratur? Havent heard much about it though.

Oh sheeze. Looking good my man. Are you using your home's air conditioner to keep the plants temp in check? Are you pushing or pulling your hot air out of your tent? Correct me if I'm wrong but won't some of your C02 be sucked up from your carbon filter vs having a carbon filter on the floor with its now dedicated inline fan attached to it?

Thank you sir.

No, i'm in CO so no air conditioning here. Heat is never a problem really, but more so the cold. You do bring up a good point though. I would've liked to run air straight through the hoods and out as not to waste CO2, but hooking up the inline fan to the ECU this way regulates temps almost perfectly. I dont think im wasting too much CO2... may reconfigure next time. And I do have the CO2 set slightly higher than it should be to compensate. Definitely more dialed in than last time though, lol.

 

[WeedLizard]

Any ideas????? This is on newER growth. Rust-ish colored spots. pH has been pretty on point..........

this is just an odd leaf, it has nothing to do with above pictures...

thanks for the help.
