Looking nice. How long before you start flowering?

looking really good . nice to see some led in action

Transplant Complete

The girls are looking great. I transplanted them yesterday, and so far they seem to be loving their new grow containers. I've went ahead and upgraded from 1.25" net pots to 5" net pots. I've also gone ahead and switched from peat moss pellets, and went with hydroton pebbles. Still using aeroponics, and nutes haven't been altered. After I transplanted, I gave the roots some Root 66 directly at the source, so that they wouldn't be shocked when I transplanted them. Let me know what you think.

Goooooo PATS!

They should like their new home

Quick Update

This is probably the last weekend I let the girls stay in veg stage. Probably on Sunday or Monday I will switch the ladies over to flowering. Hopefully they'll show sex sooner than later. I've uploaded pics. Enjoy. Merry Christmas everyone.

Lookin forward to seeing them flower, how long have they been veggin now?

I've been vegging them for a little over a month now, but technically its only been 2 weeks; reason being, the 1st two weeks I used the LED grow lights, but due to the low amount of heat it generated, the plants were growing slow in the winter.

That's the one big disadvantage I found with the LED. If you live in cold climate like I do, the low heat output on the LED isn't enough. I averages 70 degrees all day during LED usage. Now that I have switched, its 91 all day and 70 at night.

I will probably switch to flower mode on monday as long as the girls are looking ok. If not, I may go one more week longer before I flower.

nice setup! how much $ is all that equipment? estimate

91 is pretty high

I think its a false reading. Real quick question.....how high do you put your thermostat? Mine is up by the light. Should I put it down in the middle? I think that's why my digital is giving a false reading.

Ebay and craigslist. As far as price....its an expensive hobby, if you plan on cutting corners, then maybe this hobby is not for you. And also if you have to ask how much, then its too expensive for you bud. Good luck.

As far as my last comment to matatan...sorry for coming off as an a$$hole. You have to see where I'm coming from. This forum is for the grow community. Everyone helps everyone out, but also you have to go do your own research. When I started, I didn't know a thing about growing. With help from others like SICC, and 420, they gave me all the knowledge to get some decent looking plants. This is my 3rd grow. Nothing came easy. Nothing came without a price.

Asking me how much did my stuff cost, is not only vague, but sounds like you could be law enforcement coming off as someone that's clueless. All my grows are being documented for public knowledge. Not too many people put documented grows from start to finish. I want to be able to help new growers out there and ultimately help them problem solve, when there is no one to help them.

If you need help, message me. I can help you. Be specific with your questions. But to post on my journal how much for everything? Please don't disrespect me like that again. Don't hijack my thread. Start your own thread if you're curious as to how much the equipment will cost. Also if you do some reading, you may just know how much I spent. Sorry everyone, I just needed to vent, as this bothered me all day.

Mine was up towards the top of the tent. You can try and see if you notice any differences, but it should should read it the same tho.

Last Update Before Christmas

Hey Everyone,

This is my last update until after Christmas. The girls are looking fantastic. I've gone ahead and pruned the girls to make them look beautiful. I also went ahead and upgraded my fish pump.

I was using a 10 gallon air pump but it didn't have enough air bubbles when I transplanted them to 3 separate 2-gallon containers. I purchase a 100 gallon pump (yes I know, overkill, but it was on sale) for 15.99 at petco and it's fantastic.

You'll be able to see the differences from my last post up until today. Huge difference! Looks like the more bubbles, the more the girls love them. I've also gone ahead and moved my digital thermometer. HUGE DIFFERENCE! 86 deg F all day long baby! =) (Thanks SICC)

Everyone be safe this Xmas weekend. For those of you that don't celebrate Xmas, happy holidays to you and your family.

Nice man, they look good, cant wait to see them flower

yum yum and merry Xmass

While we're at homes with our loved ones celebrating this joyous day, let's not forget the homeless, the abused, the abonded, the forgotten, and the starving ones. God bless, and merry christmas everyone.

Last Day of Vegging

Girls are looking fantastic!! Lush vegetative growth currently, and within a couple of weeks, the start of some immense buds!! =) Starting tomorrow, I'll be switching it up to 12/12. For those of you that are curious, currently my dawn is 6am and dusk is midnight. I'll reduce dusk by 6 hours, and start my natural c02 next week as well. I've gone ahead and added more juicy pics.
