First grow and DID NOT make it easy on myself.

Ok so my computer crashed not to long ago cleaning my computer out so I lost my log and just have a few pictures from my phone. Bare with me.

Strain is LA Women (freebie offer from attitude) I'm using the GH 3 part Flora nutes along with a few additives in a drip/bubble bucket hydro closet. Now I have been on the forums a little talking about this ol girl, here is the story. I started from seed raised her up to about 1 month old under my little 2 bulb 2 foot florescent and she did great. I then took off from cali to Washington to visit my best friend who will be on the plane for Iraq in less then a week. Needless to say I got a little distracted smoking myself retarded with him (yes I said smoking, only person I ever knew that smoke like that and is a sargent in the military) when next thing you know its 2 months down the road. So this whole time I have been gone I taught my lil bro how to change the res and mix up some food. He took care of them while I was out. I give him a c+ because the lived. They were not in the best shape when I got home.
Now this is my first grow and I have been buying new equipment as I go along. While away i bought a 600w Hps ballast and hood and had it shipped. She loved that. I have been home now for about 2 weeks and since took clones along with fighting to figure out HOW or IF I can even flower this giant in my house (mind you it has been in veg for 3 months my ceilings are 8 foot didn't plan or mean for this to get so big). I have been all over trying to figure out ways to keep this thing under my light without burning her up. So i get her out of the closet and into the back room. More air, room, great place so she can breath. After looking around a little I looked into "Humboldt counties Bushmaster" I have since purchased the product and ran it as I should. I think that along with some bending and tying I'll be smoking in no time.

Now if you remember me I was calling this thing "lemon skunk" and I'll admit I'm a dipshit sometimes but this was a real long blonde moment. I got to looking at it and the lemon skunk is a dominant. sativa and my plant didn't look the part. I looked up my order review and sure enough "LA Woman" (so that's cleared up, less confusion)

So as I sit now I'm at the start of day 3 into flower. I still have height issues (hope that bushmaster kicks ass) and its going to be very interesting how this all pans out, like I said its my first grow and I'm already in some shit.

So feel free to comment all you want. DON'T BE SHY WITH ADVICE please. Ask questions all ya want.

here are the pics I do have from when she was a baby till today. Wish me luck. might start a poll if I make it or not lol.

That last pic is this morning start of day 3 in flower. I'm liking this bushmaster stuff it does kick start flower FAST.

Ok so I'm having a problem my plant just isn't happy. I was gone and to make a long story short she was running on water only for a week and a half. When I got back I messed up and put in a full strength mix and she flipped out twisting leaves and curling real bad, so I flushed her with water then sent it into flower with the mix that GH chart says to for the Flora 3 part series. 6ml gro, 6ml micro, 10 ml bloom along with the bushmaster. I ran that for 2 days and changed it (to get out the bushmaster). She just doesnt look happy, Looks like she is deprived then I step it up and its too much? should I just keep going as I am and let her adjust or do something now, or am I just freaking out?

after the flush maybe start the nutes at 1/4 or 1/2 strength...bring it back up but your probably shocking the shit out her i know hydro set ups are super sensitive...

Still having issues with nute burn. She has been running on straight water since last night but still has the rams horn effect. Hoping she chills out soon then put in a light mix. Showing nicely, today is day 5 of flower.

Ok so I doubled checked my ph meter and it was way off and from what I have read im getting symptoms of uneven ph levels. Any tips on how to fix this or anything I should look out for? For now I have flushed it with correct ph water and got the run off to where I want it also, and I'm just going to run it at the right ph for now.

Feel free to post in here all you want. I just want to learn and get better anything helps. Thanks.

Ok so the reason for the bad curling was the air stone in the bottom of the bucket was clogged and no air was getting to the roots, turned them brown a little bit. I have a new air stone in there and am doing my best to get the roots dried out. Is this the best idea or whats a good fix to get her happy cause she looks bad all the new growth has curled even worse then the pics before.

Feel free to post in here.

My plant has collected it's self and is back on track. I'm now into day 11 going on 12 of flower and she is looking great besides the wounds suffered from the clogged air stone. The buds are forming nicely and look great. I'll post pics tomorrow when the light comes back on. Thanks

On day 15 she is still reaching a little to much. i have 12" till I get the light with 6 to 7 more weeks left. One bad thing is lots burnt crusty leaf tips from that nute and air stone problem.

SO I SupperCropped her. Here are some pics let me know what ya think.

Don't try anything either my guard dog will get ya, ahah not.

My PPM jumped up 200 on it's own in the past few days. I know I have read about this but can't remember. What's that usually mean?
