k so this is my fourth grow i am going to be changing up almost everything from my last grow which i just harvested most of on monday final cut thursday. my last where northen lights x og haze clones from a buddy of mine. i would have got them again but he packed up for right now and i found out to late to get more. i used 3 gallon grow bags with ffof soil this time i am switching to 2 1/2 gallon dwc buckets. i plan on fimming after the 4-5th leaf set and lst. i wanna try to keep them short and bushy this time. my lighting will also be a little different. i am going to start my seeds off under my 4 cfls listed above for a week or two. before i turn on my 250w mh
i will start germinating my 5 feminized snow white seeds tonite so they should be ready to go into the rockwool when i finish my harvest thursday. I plan on leaving them in the rw till they show a good amount of roots then directly into their final home my dwc buckets. pics will be coming soon. k thats about it for tonite you can check ut my last grow in my sig and post only if you have any advise or just wanna watch so PLEASE if your gonna be a dick stay off my journal thanks oh any ?'s just ask

k so its almost end of week one i have my 3 surviving snow white seedlings in the buckets with plain ph'd water. 2 of my babies died on me i think my friend let the rock wool get dry but oh well they are sprouting their first true leave set so for one just needs 2 more before i top. i placed 2 buckets directly under my 125w cfl and the third is under my other ghetto cfl hood. will be posting pics tommorow

hey man do you have pics and what size dwc you doing?

i'll try and get some pics in the next few days. i think i might have overkilled the dwc, i have two big 14 gallon tubs that i'm putting about 10 gallon of water/nutrient solution in each. i'm deffinately gonna have nice harvest but i think i could have done it without wasteing as much money on nutes due to the size of the res. i gotta a 4'x4'x6' grow tent and im running 400 watt phillips metal ceramic on hps ballast:bigjoint::bigjoint:

k heres an update
im at 3 weeks veg my girls its been two weeks since i checked on them. i was shocked when i opened the tent and saw them they have at least 6-8 leaf sets already. starting to look like a bush. i wish i could have gone over there last week to start my lst because my stems where already stiff. i cut the top of of one to leave the two bottom branches to start training them around. the other 2 i am growing exactly the same so i can run i test with this new nutrient my buddy found called "SPARKLES" made by a man who owns a hydroponics store in columbia sc. it is basically a powdered molasses along with other nutes. here are a couple of crappy phone pics my came broke will have better ones soon

i know its been awhile since i updated so heres a few pics. i up'd the nutes to half strenght and started adding super b+. i started my lst last week and went in today and monday to tie them down good. it looks like i will be getting well over 15+ tops off each of the 2 i did like that. the third i toped after the second true leaf set to produce 4 main stems and i have tied them down and around as well. thy started to get a little to bushey so i trimmed back a few of the fan leaves to let more light penetrate. i plan on switching to flower in about 2 maybe 3 weeks to give them a little over a moth and a half in veg
