California Buds Indoor Grow

This is only my second grow journal here but I remember last time I did it, keeping a log and updated pictures helped me during my grow.
I actually wanted to go with a full Blue Dream run this time but I ended up not being able to find any Blue Dream clones.
I did happen to find some Platinum Blue Dream clones that caught my eye and looked healthy so I'm going to veg them out and make them my moms for clones.

Setup
Phantom 1000W Digitial Ballast x2
Hortilux 1000W Super HPS Bulb x1
Hortilux 1000W HPS/MH Dual Bulb x1
Raptor Reflector x2
8 bulb T5 light system
I'm going to be watering everything by hand, and using Roots organic soil as my medium.
I plan on cloning the current Platinum Blue Dreams and cloning around 15-20 taking the best 8 then vegging and flowering them out.

Nutrients
I'm going to be using Advanced Nutrients this time around:
Sensi Grow A
Sensi Grow B
Sensi Bloom A
Sensi Bloom B
VooDoo Juice
Big Bud
B-52
Overdrive
Cal-Mag Plus

Strains
Platinum Blue Dream x2

Sour OG x1
OG Kush x1

Pictures
Reservoirs. Blue barrel is RO water and the black barrel is nutrient solution.


My noob shelfing


My electrical setup


My ballasts


My reflectors


Venting system. Currently not hooked up to the air cooled lights to produce heat.


My 2 current main moms.


OG Kush clone. Looks like shit but I don't have much to work with atm.


Sour OG clone. The better of the 3 clones I got but I still like to start with smaller clones.


Godfather clone. Not bad. Excited for the Godfather strain.


Platinum Blue Dream Top. A lot of upwards canoeing going on.
I moved these plants from a 8 bulb t5 setting to a 1000 watt hps setting without training them for it due to the weather.
Pretty sure either that stressed them out or the fact that I turned on the venting to cool the room down a little since it was at 89F.
Once I left the venting on the temp lowered to around 61F.
I dimmed down the 1000watt to 600watt and turned the fans off again. Hopefully this will help with the canoeing.
I will also be flushing them out next feeding in case it was something nutrient related.


I cut holes in the pot and tied down all the bottom branches to spread out the growth.










(more pictures to be added. feel free to post comments)

Nice cant wait to see this out , Good luck..


Happy Growing!

Thanks I plan on updating the pictures daily once decent production happens.

Your hand is a dolphin.

Gave the Platinum Blue Dreams a watered down nutrient solution to flush out the old watering.
The canoeing is already looking better. I think the ph wasn't where I needed it to be due to my digital ballast causing interference with my tri meter.
Temperature in the grow room was 70F which I don't mind. So I left the venting off still and kept the lights at 600Watt.

Went to check on them this morning and mostly everything is looking good.
Thinking I'm going to top the Platinum Blue Dreams soon.
Here are this mornings pictures.

Tonight's checkup:
They didn't need to be watered today so I just tied down the branches a little more to spread the growth even more.

Tonight's checkup:
The first temp pic is the temp when I first got in there and the second pic is the temp after I turned the vents on.
I have no AC for this grow so it's going to be all about venting for me.
Plants are looking good other then some burning. Not quite sure if it's nutrient burn or what.
I lowered the ppm in the feedings just in case. The stems are getting pretty thick now I love to see that.

This morning's checkup:

Tonight's checkup:
Also added a few strains to the garden. Grape Ape, Black Diminion, and Green Crack. Pictures of the Platinum Blue Dreams look like they want a feeding because they were dry.

This Morning's checkup:
Also added a few strains to the garden. Purple Kush, Wild Purple, and Grandaddy Purple.
I untied all the bottom branches of the Platinum Blue Dreams and cleaned up the foliage, then tied up the next tier of branches. I was able to water the Platinum Blue Dreams again. 5.9 PH 700PPM.

Tonight's checkup:
Nothing special. All I had to do was rotate the plants and walk back out lol.

This Morning's checkup:
Was able to water them again and decided to start taking a picture of the tri meter every time I water.
Got my nutrients in the mail. I've been using Foxfarm's grow big and Botanicare Cal-Mag plus for the time being.
Next watering I'm going to flush them and then start using the Advanced line.

Tonight's checkup:

This mornings checkup:
Flushed the rest of the nutrients in the reservoir through the plants. I guess Tomorrow I'll give them a real flush.

Tonight's checkup:
Cleaned up some of the bottom branches again and topped both the Platinum Blue Dreams.

This Morning's checkup:

Tonight's checkup:

This mornings checkup:
Cleaned the reservoirs and mixed up the first batch of nutrients. Also sprayed the plants with a foxfarms bug spray as a preventative.
