I had to lay low for a bit but I'm back with my 400 watt hps.
Planted 6 bag seeds 2 days ago. 1 is about to break soil.
The seeds I'm using are from a buddy and they are old. Funds have been tight so I'm just trying to get started again.
I've finished 2 runs in the past. 1st was my best. Not sure on what I yielded as I did not scale it but I will be scaling it this time if I get a girl anyways. I'll post some pics when they emerge from the soil.
Ordering some seeds for the next run just not sure what yet.

Day 11 of 12/12 8/20/16

A little Saturday morning update, just cut a couple of fans that I had tucked thru the screen last week, and tucked a few more back behind the screen. Also moved and tied some branches to give more light exposure.


BC3










I am now a very big fan of low dosage feeding with the Blumats, been running 500 to 600 ppm, trying to keep it around the 550 mark. No burned tips, good steady growth, no overly deep green leaves but do have some purple stems, not too worried about that. Making sure I test the rez before I make up a batch to I try and balance the feed to keep it around 550 ppm. pH has not been a problem to date with this grow, I am trying to keep my pH around 6.0 as that seems to be the right number.
The adjustments I made to the heights of the plants with the wire stands is working fine, I am keeping the bulb where the bottom is level with the tops of the plants. I may have to drop it some to reduce stretch or do some bending, CK2 is about 40" so damn near the top of that screen. Ever other plant has been adjusted with the stands to equal that same height as CK2.
Left to right:
BC1 34" + 6" stand
CK2 40" no stand
CK1 30" + 6" stand
BC2 30" + 10" stand
BC3 32" + 8" stand

They are drinking about 2 gallons a day, that's a constant drip from the Blumats with the lights on. Slows down to almost a stop just before the lights come back on, so I think the Blumats are working great.

Thanks. I've been keeping it very simple this go and it's paying off so far.
She actually just started flowering a few days ago. But she's been 12/12 for 10 now.
I'm trying to figure out if she's a indica leaner or sativa . So far this random bag seed looks sativa Dom.

It really started growing fast when i gave her some nutes. Ive only grown 2 other times and neither grew this fast.
Its really starting to stink up my basement.

Day 70 of 12/12 Harvest day!

I harvested BC1 last week, my mutant plant, it went into a jar today, 30 g's, and I don't think it's going to be that good either.

So today I harvested the other four ladies, BC2 & 3 and CK1 & 2. Did more trimming than I normally do for the 1st hang, also hung them as full plant instead of stems or nuggets. First time doing that also.

Wanted to show the back of the screen on BC2
