Both of my grows this happened and the 2nd pistil growth was a lot compared to the first; even if my first pistil sprout was amazing.

Also do you have any pictures that show the whole set up + nugget formation. Like a picture of all the nugz + setup or each individually? I'm about to do this same set up and it was be very helpful. Answer a lot of my questions about my yeild and what not.
check my journal, theres thousands of pics.
Just harvested today....sorry not trying to jack here, just letting you know what's going on in my neck of the woods!!LOL!!!:bigjoint:

I grow DWC, under HPS and MH
I have tried (first grow) GH 3 part Flora Series along with some Diamond Nectar and Liquid KoolBloom.

I have no comparison but have considered going organic for the next DWC run.

What would be my best choice for organic nutes?
What would be my best choice for non-organic?
What nutrients blow GH Flora away?

I dunno bro, i dont think there is anything more economical than that GH 3 part...

i just get the micro and bloom, and use the lucas formula - then you only need 2 bottles.

i went all out last time and spent $800 on advanced nutrients... they are OK, but i dont think there was THAT much of an improvement...

I think you did really well last grow, with the space you have - until you get anything else, i would just keep repeating what you did over and over...

you'd be better off putting any extra money into something like side lighting - or UVB bulbs or something that the plant would notice...different nutrients will not make it grow much differently than you saw.

hope that helps...

Thanks for all the replies and help, it was a great experience and an even better hobby.

I have 3 Purple and 1 Bubba Kush in my current run and have just switched to flowering 12/12. I have begun to induce the flowering much sooner than my previous grow in hopes of leaving more void space (thanks Mystery), allowing for fewer but larger nuggs.

I have also begun using the light height and to casue the desired stretch or fatten effect desired while filling the screen. Raising the light caused the ranches to stretch/grow thru the screen, but every few days i would tuck the fan leaves under firstly, then (carefully) the growing shoots. The point is to not let the fan leaves block/shade any of bud bud sights. I have removed very minimal amounts of grenn this time and VERY, very little brown.

I allowed the gurls to rest in 23 hours of darkness before switching on HPS at 10" from screen and will lower it to 9" tomorrow. I will continue to lower light until I see or feel trouble. This time I will continue tucking until I see the white of the flowers and end tucking at that time.

I have filled rez with RO and will add nutes in the AM, using the Lucas Formula with additives.

Pics and more info to follow.

Yeah man! I am still flushing with RO since 10PM last night but will add nutes in just a bit.

From my last/first run I got over 12 OZ (13.9 according to photos) of wet untrimmed, which became about 2.0 OZ (I think 2.5 really). It was DAMN good smoke. I will have a side by side comparison with my LPS (Local Pot Shop/Store) when this batch is complete, choosing from their best ranking. It was delicious, and not just because it was mine.

Thanks for all the props peeps, I am glad to help, even if by bad example.

bikeskill, right on, I gotta check your setup out, is it posted here?

Hulk Nugs, No sir, I am coming on strong, like Donkey Kong. I want to pull 12OZ. out of this lil' bitch this time.

BloodShot420, I am going to try the Lucas Formula and carefully mix additives in. I now have FloraNectar Sweetener (not pinapple), Diamond Nectar, and Liquid KoolBloom.

Jigs, see next paragraph

BTW - I ruined the other plants I had in the box last run. I think I over CO2'd em, or just over nuted them. I was so focused on the purple plants that I fooked up the other. When I realized how burnt they had become, it was too late, they had already turned hermie (I think). I have pics that I will upload later. But, I did smoke some of the Jah in desperate times, and the high was reall strong and dream-like. I would smoke a bit and a few hours later I would wonder if I ever got high from the bit I smoked, but I couldn't remember if I was high or what I did for the past 2 hours. That means I was really high...

But, There was even more buds than the purple on the Jah (about 12 OZ. wet). No more mixing different strains that are so different. I am now growing Bubba and Purple together because they are both Kush and flowering times are and nute levels are very similar I believe.

Pics soon...

Jigs, I will be bringing you some of this grow. It will finish just about the time tim go biking in your backyard. If I bring some, do I get to sit and smoke on that amazing deck you have?

Not only that, but I'll either bbq or have the wife whip up one of her amazing dishes... dude you won't want to leave (especially becuase my Hindu Skunk is going to have us couch locked like a mother). Hope you aren't allergic to cats, skunks, racoons, squirrells, or birds... they are everywhere, haha.

I have some extra Liquid Light and Penetrator as well if you ever want to try some spray. The whole grow I only used about 100mL or each. So rustle up 2 light proof bottles... maybe save some old hydro nute bottles of stuff you ran out of. (if you want to take any that is).

And yeah... I know I'm really high when I can't remember if I smoked or not... "Am I high right now?.... I was going to smoke before and I don't remember what happened?" I've learned that the answers are YES... and YOU SMOKED ALREADY YOU POTHEAD

Hahaha!! Cannot wait. If she is going to cook or if we are bbq'ing, I'm bringing something too. I cook whenever I can, especially new stuff. You might be a guinea pig, so to speak.

I looked at your Poppy photos and what a difference. I need to find out when those crops off 101 are in bloom, very similar carpet of color, but more colors.

great shots too!
