The Bloom Boom Room (Back to Basics)

I forgot to add that I transplanted the WWxBB and the Snowcap plants in a mix of coco and Pro Mix HP. I didn't have any perlite so I used the pro mix. I am sure it will be fine.

Well the droopy plant didn't make it and got replaced. This is the start of week 3 and we have a bit of bud porn.

The plants are drinking damn near 10 gallons of water a week. I will be changing the rez and snapping more pics this weekend. Do you think it will be a good time to start the powdered Kool Bloom?

This is the start of week 4 bloom. Everything is looking great. I am running Dyna Gro Foliage Pro all the way through. I upped the ppm to 1000 and added 2 tsp of Kool bloom powder. I only used it because I had it from my first grow. Any questions feel free to ask. Also I added some pics of the new mother plants.

No major updates for the room yet. The room is starting to stink though!

Looking good. Sub'd.

I am going to be tucking a few big fan leaves back tonight. Will post pictures after I am done.

Here are a few bud shots.

Wow Im interested in how it turns out. Im going to do my first vertical soon after my plants get too big for the cfl. You're plants look sativa dominant. Are only sativas really any good for vertical?

I like a plant that stretches a bit. On my first grow I did about 5 different strains. I love the wifi but I don't think it is good in my grow situation for a monocrop grow situation. It is very sativa dom. Too dom for my taste. I hope they swell in the upcoming weeks though. I'm ready doe my next strains also.

New clones and topped WWxBB and Snowcap.

I just decided that I need to up the lighting in the veg cabinet. The horrible 108w from 2 4 foot t5 bulbs are not going to cut it. I am going to put a MH bulb in there dimmed down to 400w and see what it does. If the plants are growing so well in vegg given the weak lighting they are given I would love to see them under some actual power. I just need them to grow faster if I am going to start up my 3 week perpetual grow/harvest. Any suggestions or comments?

I just put a 400w mh in the veg tent. I think my digital thermometer does not like it. LOL it is reading 88f but it feels cooler than my flower room with a ton of air movement. Not to mention I have a 8" inline fan exhausting the tent.

This is My next round.

One thing that I noticed is the clones from the mother plant are flowering faster than the mother plant in the same grow. It seems as if they are going to produce more as well if you were to compare the size. I shall post pics later of what I mean.

from my experience. Clones almost always finish a week sooner the mother seed. Veg faster and produce more. The seed is more symetrical

happy growing

That is exactly what I am seeing.

Well one of my UC buckets are leaking pretty bad and I'm having a horrible time trying to seal our up. Next time I Will use thick wall square totes instead of crappy 5 gallon buckets. I'm going to put them in individual DWC buckets to finish up these next 3 weeks while I do the UC system over.

PVC glue and PVC sealant. You have to let each dry and cure for a day without getting wet. I used that back in the day when I made fill and drain x ebben flow x film kits. They were those white plastic poly what ever fence posts. I uses the glue on the end caps. So they wouldn't .
leak. The smell and from the glue and sealant is pretty strong and over bearing. So do it outside or open a window.

I was tired of the buckets leaking so I put them in individual DWC buckets. This is starting week 7.
