Yeah, I got it. I'll throw up a couple of pics of my setup asap but I'm gonna have to put off starting a grow until I make a trip to visit my mother. I'm hoping to be there for her next chemo treatment and possibly stay with her for 2-3 weeks. But I have everything set and ready to rock when I return!

Thank you, babe. That means a lot. She needs all the positive energy she can get.

so I went out of town for the weekend, gave my babies a good watering/ feeding and hoping everything will be ok when i get back, i dont like relying on my roomate but i got to do what i got to do. lights are still 24/0 and will switch to 12/12 when i get home, first lady i see i switch back to 24/0 and te rest go bye bye, like i said i have a suprise for you all i did multiple plants on my last grow so this time im gunna see what 2ft t5s are capable of doin wiht a big plant

Sexing Tip

Increased PK tells the plants 'it's time' without changing the light cycle. I read this some time ago, and forgot all about it.

Once my current grow had sufficient leaf sets I automatically increased from 400 ppms to ~ 550, and within 7 days all 6 plants sexed. I'm like WTF?

As soon as I figured out what happened I lowered the ppms < 400 as I wanted a little more veg before sending to flower. They all reverted to veg. Later, when I was ready I did the same thing (no light change, though I veg under 14/10) sexing started again.

isnt ppms for hydro only, the only way i would know to measure ppms is water and runoff?

Damn well better

Even if you you are using nute enriched soil, by the time you want to sex, those nutes should be depleted.

Let's say the soil ppm started out ~ 400ppms. Assuming you have good root and plant growth, the ppms will be much lower.

By increasing ppms above 500 you should see sex within 7-10 days.

Hydro is so much easier to control. All you need is a TDS meter and pH meter (and an awareness of how/when to adjust).

Would of beer thought about that good looking sir

Been buy haven't had much time but I got around to transplanting tonight. Been havin heat problems but I mean it's been 106 outside 82 inside and then 88 peak at the end of a 12 hr. switched out to a 3000k flora sun 3000k 3000k . My roommate is getting a 12,000 btu portable ac for the livingeoom so hopefully when it hits my room it will drop maybe 6 degree.

Man those plants are the picture of good health right now.

Nice tits!

Oh, also a friend has hooked me up with some Strawberry Cheesecake beans so they are hitting the tent as soon as I make it back home.

Well the tent and the 8tube went up for this grow, decided to make a cab and use my 4 bulb, I'm gunna either at 2 more single tube t5 or an led not sure yet, I just set it up it's all metal, I just need to fix the light leaks which is easy but my high ass forgot to get it at lowes.

That's a nice cab.

Plants look great........your gonna rock that t5 panel again, did you clean your tubes and reflectors? sorry if said already.......be safe and happy growing

yea man im a clean freak, most people mess up because of sanitation reasons, i am gunna rock the t5 panel again, but i have some sspending money and am instore for an LED , any suggestions, depending on power and size id run both the led and t5 or just the t5 for veg and led for flower

any particular led panel your looking at?......

im open for suggestions i was looking at the kessil a350 magenta but i have 35 inches in height to work with so im still looking but i got around 450$ to spend
