If it says unknown you're good. But I took pictures once at the spot and it said the city I was in, must not of had that strong of service to give the street name.

But I work in a city and every picture I take there has the street name and some range of numbers like 20-55 blahblah street.

Truly? Even if you upload onto a website... say photobucket via email?

If you want a quick easy way to remove it, simply open the screenshots in paint or w.e and print screen then reopen a new paint and paste it then crop out the windows and save as new file. it can lower the quality a bit, but without gps infos.

Good lookin out guys!

Day 36:


Fruity Chronic Juice - Foam came back, tiny so far. Still a beautiful lady.


Bubba 76 - Looking a bit better today. Foam also back in this one and was there since yesterday. No good picture of it, but same amount as the FCJ picture.


Veneno - First picture is 2nd set of 3 leaves, 3rd picture is the first set of single bladed, 4th is 1st set of three-leaves, last picture is other side of first set of singles.


Pineapple Express - Looking all happy. Given about 60ppm of nutes. .13EC with .11EC tap to .24EC. Going to go back to .2 for a little, I was just lazy and didn't make a new batch of water. But I see roots today 3 sticking out, its a week old today. Seeing trichs all over the leaves already, mmmm. Damn I gotta clean that humidome.

Just curious what are all those hoses and sock thing in your bucket?

I have (1) 2" airstone in bucket thats it. No drips, no feeders just simple. Not saying anything bad, just wondering what is all that and what is the reasoning to use it?

If you can get rid of those fishtank blue shit stones, order some online or at hydro store some cylinder stones by Waterfarm or other manufacturer. They are heavy and diffuse a lot better then that cheap blue shit, they come in 1 or 2 inches. I use 1 inchers in my 2 gallon buckets and 2 inchers in my 3.5 gallons just one per bucket and I have to dial down my pumps as I am afraid they will rip my roots with all the air water they move.

There's. 2 stones in there...you're probably seeing the end that's sticking out the pots. There's only 2 hoses going to each bucket. I know on one of the pics it looks like more.

As for the sock thing I have no idea what your talking about. Could it be the water turbulence you're seeing reflected by the light s above? I told y'all my buckets had tons of surface movement. Its like a fountain almost spitting out haha.

I have 2 micro pore XL diffusers for when I had my flood tables going and I didn't notice a huge difference. There's a us3er that posted a thread it might of been legallyflying. It was called the difinitive air stone test. He basically used a dissolved oxygen meter to take readings and he concluded micropore and the like don't perform that much better. Thought the blue ones need to be replaced but they're 2 dollars so no biggie. My m micro pores are standing the test of time lol. Way better made.

in the 2nd pick there is a pouch looking thing that looks attached to the bucket. could just be the angle.

this one looks like its waiting for a sperm count.

What else goes on in your grow room?

Yeah the angle is a bit screwy.

Lokie whatchu talking about with the sperm count haha? I took that picture to show the white foam on the side. I think its a colony of bacteria? Doesn't smell and isn't slimey, its just like the foam I had before I changed res.

Nothing else really for right now. I have tons of equipment for something major, but it's not running yet.

Lets see...

I have (1) 3x3 flood table in the open room that I rigged with channels to support (35) 5.5" netpots. Has a tarp over it that has cutouts for the netpots that block out the light. That is connected to a 40gal res. I had a stand made from mahogany(really sturdy) so the res is off the ground and the tray is raised above it a tad and i'm going to make a permanent drain bucket that has a submersible pump in that runs out the house parallel with the waterline. I have a permanent water line in the room made from 3/4" cpvc. I put in a 20AMP circuit and the room had a 15AMP already, so 35 AMPS total. I have a 600w phantom ballast and 600w ushio MH conv. and HPS in a 6" xtrasun reflector thats over the flood table. And a 4ft 6 tube 324w HO T5 in a Secret Jardin DR120.

I have a Soler & Palau TD-200 variable speed 484/538CFM connected to a Phresh 6"x24" carbon filter thats insulated flex ducted outside and I have it hard ducted in the room and hung to the joists above with metal hanger type things. I have a tent in the corner of the room, a 72pint dehumidifier(which I don't use cause its winter).

I have a 2 outlet and a 4 outlet active aqua air pumps and 2 general hydro dual diaphragm air pumps. 48 fem seeds from 18 different strains plus the 4 I got going now. Enough buckets to run 6 DWC's.

I think thats about it. Lotta shit in an 8x10 room. Oh and a table and shelves that hold my nutrients and extra equipment and shit.

I still need to get a submersible pump and possibly a portable AC depending on how the room is when summer comes.

As you can see I have big dreams, hahaha.

Once I get some moms going i'm going to use the tent to clone/veg/mom area and the tables to flower SoG style. I want a jungle in there. So much weeds you need a machete to walk thru.

Day 37 from germ:


Veneno - 5.8/.72EC - Do these look like deficiencies or nute burn?

Bubba 76 - 5.7/.84EC

Fruity Chronic Juice - 5.9/.75EC - These leaves are getting huge.

I haven't had to add any extra water really I am going to add a cup of bennies today, is this bad that they're not drinking much or is it just later on that they drink alot?

in other systems alot of the water evaporates. in dwc buckets it doesnt as much. however plants this size will not drink alot anyway.

Yellowing of middle of leaves spreading outwards sounds like a def to me. What ratios you running n-p-k wise?

Hungry on the first 2. The FCJ looks great tho. Overall I think your doing pretty good. Couple more weeks prob be flower ready. if that pe has roots poking through you should start hardening it off (ie slowly opening vents) and then get it in a bucket asap. The faster you do, the less it will root in that terrible RW and the less headaches you will have lol

First pic looks like cal def. 2nd plant looks pretty good, just a lil droopy some are just finicky at this size.
