Thanks for the sub. And yes scottyballs grow is inspiring, You also might want to check out OTTERMUNKY's Kandy kush waterfarm, My screen is 2"x 2", the screen is bout 9 " above the waterfarm, although the waterfarm is on a box which is 4" tall, for easy drainage. Plus what strain are you going to go with? Feel free to ask questions I'll try and help.

..Looking good. Screen height looks lots better! Now what you need to do is tuck in all the fan leaves. They call it a screen of GREEN because underneath the screen should be LOTS of leaves that will absorb all the light, and above the screen are where the fat ass colas grow from that thick thick green sea photosynthesis powerhouse... Get it?
That is awesome about what you say about the sour kush, i have clones and if everything goes right here i'll run it again until i find something better. I will tuck all the leaves i can tomorrow when lights are on, and post pics for your comments, plus your advice so far is invaluable and very much appreciated,you have given my dream of a grow like yours and others a realistic shot, plus knowledge I would have never otherwise received. I was wondering which plant mine reminds you of, 1 or 2?Anytime my friend
I think I flowered my sour kush around 7 or 8 inches, trained, and it grew to about 2-2.8ft or so?
Awesome that your rocking the 400w. I did like 5 runs with a 250w and finally just upgraded to the 400w, it's a little easier to get good light out of it, and as equally easy as a 250w to maximize your light. So far I'm loving it so congrats on yours
The smoke from the sour kush was phenominal, totally in my top 5, if not my top 3 or #1. Seriously. I'm actually vaping a bag of it now. 10 weeks cured.
The smell starts out like jungle diesel and stays that way til around day 50ish when I feel like the smell totally changes and it starts pumping out some really sweet smelling resin.. By the time it's finished, it smells like sweet sugary sweet kush, with some very plesant diesel overtones that definitely will stay in your mouth long after your done tasting it. Overall the smell is something you don't get quite used to, as in the taste/flavor doesn't get boring to me like other strains. And the high - oh the high... It's a very strong one, I notice it's like 30% stronger and lasts about 30-40% longer than some of the other strains I'm used to. Just keeps on going.. It's a very sedetative high, yet very stimulating to your mind. You get that sativa head high from the diesel - creative, interesting insightful thoughts. But your appeteit is still stimulated, your body no longer aches, it feels nice, but your not couch locked unless you *want to be* like after a long day at work.
I could literally grow the sour kush over and over again. I will be trying out some other strains, but I might realisticly look at running the reserva privada sour kush like 1/3 times of all my grows just so I can keep some on hand. That good brother!
Looking good. Screen height looks lots better! Now what you need to do is tuck in all the fan leaves. They call it a screen of GREEN because underneath the screen should be LOTS of leaves that will absorb all the light, and above the screen are where the fat ass colas grow from that thick thick green sea photosynthesis powerhouse... Get it?
Literally do this - Look at your plant stalks ABOVE the screen. Are there fan leaves visible ABOVE the screen? Is it low enough to push under the screen? If YES then PUSH the fan leaf under the screen. After about 10-15 minutes of tucking, you should be able to sit back and ask your self the same question again: "Are there any fan leaves above the screen? Am I able to force the leaf under the screen?"
After a few weeks, your stalks will grow long enough, and high enough above the screen that you can't tuck the fan leaves. Don't worry about the fan leaves high above the screen on the colas, the light will go around or scatter off other surfaces to reach that bud.
Tucking the fan leaves lets the light hit the top of developing tops, or just lets a stalk get more light on it which also helps it's development. Flower tops LOVE direct light, the fan leaves don't really care, the can be upside down under the screen with only light on 10% of the leaf will still grow in all parts. This is not true of the flower tops though, the flowers grow fatter, more equally, and more dense with the most direct light.
IF mine looks anything like this I wlill be flooredThese are from the reserva privada 250w hps grow:
First day of flower (1)
Last day of flower (72)
nugget from the less frosty plant, after 4 weeks of curing
Awh ya make me blush ;D. I haven't been doing this as long as some people my friend, my grows could be better and will be better! It's very likely yours will "look as good as mine".. All it takes is light, some decent temperatures, low humidity, the right plant food, ventilation and time... and you are growing the best herb you've smoked. Just paying attention to your plants and WANTING them to grow better the next run will make your crop better and better.
. What I'm saying is that, as good as the Sour Kush looks, I'm excited to see the Pineapple express this run because I know I will be growing them better than I could grow the sour kush .

Thanks for the sub and rep. Happy to have you along for the ride.
My tap water is 150 ppm and is 6.0 ph and yes i do take that into consideration when doing nutes. I use floranova bloom from start to finish. I used to use Ph up and down but i dont use any of that anymore. Never really had a problem yet, Figures crossed. And thanks for coming through, have anymore questions feel free to ask.
I haven't had any chunks, i just shake the jug and mix. What kind of chunks you have hard or soft? Maybe you can mix them up in a batch of water let them dissolve and test the ppm, probably going to be off the charts but then use that mixture and make up a couple of gallons of nute solution and still use the chunks, just a suggestion
