After reading all the AG threads over the past few months. I tried it myself:

3 WW & 3 Big Bud from Nirvana. Cracked in wet paper towels in 2 days and put in an AG Pro200 on Nov 1st. ..Vegged 25 days on Fox Farm nutes and put into flower under 1 -150 w hps 5 days ago (Nov 25). The AG front cover was raised for the pix to show the roots. They are 29 days old in the attached thumbnails.

I know it's getting crowded but, when I sex them, there should be a little more room.

Special thanks for sharing their skills & knowledge to Korvette, S.I.C.C., PurpDaddy and the RollitUp Faq pages.

Since the leaves are getting very dense and I have topped them before. Should I cut off some top fan leaves to let light get to the lower branches or what? I dont want to pull any plants out until I can sex them. I dont want to uproot any ladies. Any ideas?

Thanks! I've read lots of posts on an AG grow so I hope I can get 3 females and a couple ounces out of my first grow....so I'm learning how to do it indoors so if anyone has suggestions, I'm open to them..

VEG
I vegged with the 2 cfl's and the AG 3 light hood & 6" fan on Strawberries settin. Also lights were on 18/6 and the pump on 24/7. I used 1 AG starter tab the 3rd day, then started a low dose of Grow Big and Big Bloom. I increased the ppm from 200 to 400 and then 800 for final vegging week. (24 days)







MY GROW SETTINGS FOR FLOWERING:
  1. Lighting - 150 w hps, 2 100w cfl's and the AG 3 light hood all set on 12/12 timers. I use 2.
  2. AG Pro200 - set now on Tomatoes
  3. 4" airstone running 24/7
  4. 6" fan running when lights are on.
  5. Air temp- 71 - 85
  6. Humidifier - 38% -45%
  7. Water temp - 69-70
  8. Ph - 5.2-5.5
  9. ppm - 1100-1200 (adjusted for tap water of 300). I'm going to bump this to 1400 in another 2 weeks. That's like 1100ppm plus the ppm of my tap water.
  10. Organic nutes - Fox Farm: Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom... and I just ordered the other 3: Sesame, Cha Ching & Beastie Bloom
I am flushing the res every 2 weeks.

Added 1/2 tsp of Fox Farm OPEN SESAME today. I syphoned off a cup of soup from the AG res. and desolved the nute in the water and dumped it back into to res. it doesnt seem like much but these are weeds so we'll see what it does.

I'll upload new pix on Sunday.

One thing that's bothering me is that I did add 1 tsp of 3% H2O2 to the res when I flushed it last Sunday. The plants look okay but I hope I didn't hurt the organic soup mix in my res.

You think I messed up doing that?

Dont cut the top leaves!! They are solar panels and provide the plant with energy. Your side lights will provide the lower shelves with light if you aimed em properly.. Toping the plant is fine but dont remove leaves to give other ones light, the more the light travels to the lower branches it looses its intensity(or effect)

My link is now at the bottom of my sig btw.. check it out and lemme know what u think. Ill get some new pics tomorrow if I have the time.

Also my nutrients recomend to change every week and just top water and adjust PH in between. Yours may be different but check how much nutes your loosing in those 2 weeks.
Have your roots rotted, Why are you adding H202?
