That link has a super good rooter in it. I actually forgot about Al's setup.
his system uses 3 weeks rooting, 3 weeks vegging etc. for a 9-week harvest cycle.



7 days way too quick for any meaningful roots. The little stubs will change into roots.

Thanks and. I was a little worried lol. But all should be ok I think. I'm doing an 8 week veg because that's about how long it takes to flower. I leave plants vegging while the others are flowering. I don't think I would get the weight I want off a 3 or 4 week veg. But I'll do math here soon see if it's worth it! Appreciate the info tons!

So. I cleaned up some ladies and did some lollipop ping. I'll post pics. On a different note I can't figure out how to post new posts in my grow journal? Still a real news on this site. Any advice? I've seen many pre flowers on my plants but they are very tiny and it's day 5? Pretty sure it's all good still got a couple weeks of stretch I think. I think I might have found an aero/hydro cloner that I can make for cheap so I'll get pics if and when that happens. Thanks ANC!

So as promised I'm posting some pics. Day 6 of flower. Things are progressing nicely. Still a lot of trimming to do but waiting another week or 2 to make sure I don't chop any potential colas because the stretch is on going. Did some watering. Re arranged a tad. Getting ready to ditch the hydro tub. Sick of checking pH 2x a day. I want more freedom lol. So any tips appreciated. Posting pics then heading to bed. Happy growing all.

So it's day 10 of flower. I flushed today with 3x the volume of the pots. Plants clean and ready. No nutes for the next 10 days only water. Then I will start my flower nutes. GH Flora Nova 3 part as my base. Week 4-7 I will add some big nude. Weeks 5-8 I will add tiger bloom. Week 8 to finish I will flush. Took some pics with the lights off using the flash they look overeaters but I literally just finished flushing. They will be in dark for the next 12 hours as my schedule is off 8am to 8pm. Hope there is at least 1 person following! Happy Growing!

So I think it's day 10 of flower. Gotta check the calendar lol. About to head home from the grow room. So I don't think anyone is following lol. But here is an update. Hope it let's me upload if not you gotta watch till tomorrow for pics haha. It let me upload! Pretty excited. Have had the temp solid at 73 for the last 5 days straight. Did. Flush pre flower because o noticed just a tad of nitro tox starting. Everything went well and the ladies are loving it! So I am gonna run straight water untill the start of week 3 because I have no yellowing or signs of malnurishment. Then I'll be starting GH Flora 3 part. Week 5 start tiger bloom a week or 2 later depending on the plants start with big bus as well. Water one with nutes. Once plain water. Once with molasses at the right dose per plant. Once nutes and so forth. Not much left to do but sick back and enjoy the ride. Please comment like and follow if your bored cause good know I am. Thanks and happy growing

Ok so here we go. Day 12 of flower. Buds are at the very beginning of being formed I might be close to the end of stretch but who knows I have a couple really lanky hybrids so who knows lol. I'll post some pics. I watered with plain water for first time since the flush. Next watering will have GH Flora 3 part at half strength. 5ml of big bud and 5 ml bud candy. The run off was 6.1 pH and the ppms were around 400 with my tap water bieng at 250. So we are ready to start flower nites. Any comments are great and any help as always is needed! Cheers and Happy Growing!

Ok so here we are day 14 of flower.

All has been exciting as we all know. Stretch is over I'm pretty sure.

Haven't had to raise the light an inch or 2 a day every day like the last week or so.

Have not fed yet as my soil seems to be doing it's job. Plain water for the last 14 days.

At the end I will post results of 3 gallon pots vs 5 vs 2. Attempting to find the sweet spot so I can use the least amount of soil with the best results.

Carbon filters are doing great business in there. No smell what so ever. All exhaust is recycled in the heating vents to attempt to re use the warm air. Though I doubt the 450 cfm is enough when it's 1800sq feet but I try lol.

Posting pics now. Weather has been nice for the month so only running 1 5000 btu ac with lights on to keep the room at 77. Cheers all and Happy Growing!

Going well congrats. You may consider upgrading your 600W for 1000W at some point simply because of the area they cover means you're getting a relatively low light intensity per sq ft. That will also be effected by the open nature of some of your hoods which means some light is being lost on either side of the bulb. A more closed reflector will help concentrate that light downward onto your plants

Thanks bud. After harvest I'm installing some sliding white panda plastic and hanging it from the roof so I can slide it around 3 side of the area leaving 1 side open. For air flow. Kinda like a huge reflective shower curtain around 3/4 of the area.

I like to use the wing reflectors because I use 2 5000 btu acs. They keep it 72-77 depending on how cold I run them. With them and fans on the blowing on the fixtures I can get my 600s within about 12 inches and still spread the light towrads the edge of the grow area.

And hey thanks for following and dropping in. I think your the only one! Ha! +rep

So no pics tonight took enough in a pissing contest earlier! Lol! :)

Overstepped my mouth pretty good without some facts not straight. But a challenge has been made and I as a knight in shining armor will accept! Ha! ;)

So watered about half the crop tonight. Haven't used my TDS meter or my PH meter in so long I had to hunt for them.

You know when that happens and you check numbers. 6.5 pH in. 5.9 pH out after at least 3 days with no water. (Time gets away from a medicated farmer....:/).

Then you grab the TDS meter reads 750 ppm.

You know your on cruise control and things are going great. Still plain water. Noticed a few minor nute requirements. Next feeding most plants will get some 1/4 strength flower nutes. I will post what I'm using before I feed.

Cheers and Happy Growing!

Ok so I'll upload pics things are on cruise control. This pic will prove a lot of people wrong on how much soil is needed to grow a big plant. I have this plant in literally 1.5 gallons of dirt that is 5 inches deep at the edge. So much for a foot per gallon.

Also got into arguments over defoil.
It's working great so far. Here is my "test" on how much dirt you need to grow in. And if defoil works. Flipped on the 3rd of this month so day 1 of flower would be the 10th of this month making it around day 20 of flower? I think don't know the date to tired to care.
Happy Growing!!

So I don't even know if this is how I update my journal....but I'm going to keep posting lol.

So tomorrow is the start of week 3 of flower or 15 days from flip. Still at least a 2 months to go by the looks of things right now.

Stretching has stopped. Stems are very rugged more like a tree than a bush now. Crystals and smell has increased 2x in the last 7 days.

Posting pics. For myself and the nay Sayers. Also my followers!!! If I have any. Good luck and Happy Growing!
Nameste!

More updates. So all most start of week 4 flower. Somewhere around 25 or 26 days? Don't want to get up and look lol. So another 50 or so days to go. Defoil worked out great. Minimal crowding and minimal chance of mold under my 600s and 400s. Some plants look yellow skme blue. I run MH and HPS. Thats why. All Things are cruising. Being lazy as well. But it's no biggie. Happy Growing all.

Ol so week 3 flower allmost to week 4. June 3rd will be 1 month since flip. So with 2 weeks transition i guess thay puts me week 3 flower i think? Who knows lol.

Just started feeding nutes again after a good 21 days at least of just water. Wiyh the different strains i have going i should have paid a little more attention and adjusted for some more N with a couple.

It has just been easy to mix the nutrs the same for everything. Only 3 plants out of the lot are showing signs of lack of N and it shouldnt stop them from finishing with the rest.

Ill post some quick pics.

Happy Growing Everyone!!!!
