I chopped a plant the other day,well I had a mess up and broke it at the stem base, so
I chopped it, not too worried, she received a good flush......

Here is some bud porn, i recorded a video tonight....

This video is with only my T5's running, the HID's are just too bright for my shit camera.

Flower Video Week 8 Day 7

The Vid is still being processed as of now so it might take a little while to view it.

Yea the office in my apartment is dedicated to this 5x5 hut, it's not much smaller than
the room in all actuality, but I am able to to access 3 sides of the tent which is very convenient.

As for yields, they will be lower than originally planned... I had several problems with my grow.

1. I didnt properly flush my hydroton before I used it in my Soilless Mix, this has caused my TDS to be really out of sync,
2. Because of #1 I had a problem with pH for some of the plants, not all of them were as effected, my AK-47 suffered the worst.
3. Too many strains, I was growing 7 different strains and thought it'd be ok with the same nutrient
schedule, just over did it there. Next grow i'll be growing 2 strains, Sour Diesel from Reservoir, which is my favorite strain of all time.. and The Purps from BCBD, it's an IBL Mendocino Purps,
and it looks and smells amazing and has great yields from what I'm seeing, and since day, 8 of flowering I have
seen the most beautiful purple bud growth.
4. I went pretty soft on my P-K boosters and as a result have had problems with Potassium def.
5. I definitely should have been using A LOT more of my Humboldt Honey, this is also a contributor to
my salt build up, I wan't properly supplying carbohydrates to the micro organisms.


I was planning on 2 oz per plant, but if I get 1 per i'll be happy, definitely gettin 1.5 on some... I'm hoping
for 20oz total, so I can slang a P to the dispensery real easy, and keep a QP for personal medication..

Any noticable changes with the H2O2? I'm still curious :bigjoint:

and sorry to hear about all the problems!
Nothing I would call noticeable, I am seeing some bud growth, it would be
better if I had a control which I didn't feed the h2o2, but I'm not really expecting
anything crazy from it... It's only h2o2 :-P and I imagine half of it is doing great
things for the root system and half of it is killing my microorganisms, it's an
awkward test....

Yea, they are pretty stupid mistakes, easy to note and fix for next time, and it's
something to look forward to ;-)

Half the ladies are officialy chopped and drying, awaiting the trim job...

The other half still have a week left of ripening... This should work out great.

u trim after drying too! im tryin this next harvest.
Thats how it should be done...

Along with leaving the plants intact to dry as a whole.

Anything to prolong the drying process insures high quality taste and odor... As long
as you don't over humidify and end up with mold or mildew, 40% humidity is
quite ideal.

props my brother, seems like you have learned a lot this round. im very enthusiastic about your next round! two strains will help with your feeding schedule, know what their needs are, then it's just balls to the walls. you're doing great bro!

I don't think you're supposed to be usin the Humboldt Honey ES in a DWC hydro
system, they have Humboldt Honey Hydro for that....
