First Grow, Deep Water Culture, Northern Lights, Pics

Girls are doing well. The first two days of flowering they gained 2 inches. Now, on day 5, Beast is 24 in, the middle one is 20 and the runt is 12. Yesterday, I added a side 6500k light (4 26w bulbs) that is getting the undergrowth. Hanging up top I have 2 dual spectrum 42w bulbs and 4 26w 2700k bulbs.

On to the pics:

The side light, damage seen on those leaves is from the Mg deficiency before I began flowering. Leaves weren't more than 50% dead so I left them on:

And in anticipation for bud shots, I've been practicing my close up shot skills on the tops of my plants and stuff lol:

Lookin good girl, mine just came out of thier first 12/12 cycle and my biggest is 20in today and my baby 18in we should be harvestin around the same time. Ill be excited and waitin to see what you get and see what i get.

Right on. Are you doing 8-9 weeks of flowering?

Recovering Nice Good Gob . My grow was doing fine and then FUNK so i recovered
and added to much nutes . Forgot I had 2 Plants not 6 so they got a little burnt and now in recovery again . So you see all grows go thru pains

Yeah, I'm glad growing is a continual learning process. I think I'd get bored if it wasn't. :yummy:
 
Yeah im goin to go bout 8 to 9 this tuesday will put them at 8 and 9 weeks at a week and a half in flower. (Which is on my birthday Also 420 OH YEAH!) But anyways my spoiled one 24 in and my baby is 23 shes catchin up real nicely just not bushin out as much.
 
Remember the males will likely show earier than the females. With that close-up technique we won't have any problems identifying when the time comes. It usually takes about 2 weeks to tell for sure.

I'm about 2 weeks behind you. I have one batch that is two weeks ahead of the other batch and for the life of me I can't make those small ones catch up. LOL! I'm gonna wait until I know all plants are mature. Luckily the strain I'm growing with the head start are short and I'll have plenty of head room.

Just doing a little fimming and supercropping to keep their canopy even. The younger ones will be grown au natural. New strain for me anyway and I like to let them go to see how they act naturally so I can train them better on the next grow. Not saying I won't touch them but I won't do it much.

That's awesome your birthday is on 4/20. Mine's 4 days after 4/20. My parents just missed it. lol... Tall! You have a lil over 5 ft in your closet, right?

With the tank height (12.5 in), the crate the tub is sitting on (4 in), and their height (24 in) they take up 40.5 inches in my closet. The bar my lights are hanging on is 60 in above the ground. I know I'll probably have to remove the crate they're on here soon but I'm still worried about them running smack dab into the lights.

From your pics, it appears what your girls are in is a lil shorter than the Deep Water Culture tub from SH but are you worried about having height issues with your girls running into lights?

P.S. I expect some bad ass bud pics from you too since we have the same camera! :blalol:

Hopefully these feminized seeds will live up to their name. I know there is still a small chance of getting a male even with feminized seeds so I'm keeping an eye on them anyways. :bitingnails:

I'm having some height concerns. (wrote about them in the first part of this post) How tall are your plants from ground to top? How much space do you have in your closet?

I fimmed them 1-2 times in vegging but I didn't do any training. I dreaded adding another variable I could potentially fuck up. However, I have been reading up on training techniques for my next grow. Do you see a huge difference in yield in plants that have been trained (by tying/whatever) or supercropped vs those that haven't been?
 
Those plants are looking really good. Nice job with the close ups, you are bud porn ready! Most people have told me to expect up to an additional 10-12" of growth during flower. Keep up the good work!
 
I have about 33" total growing height if I pushed it. I flowered at 14-16" and it came close to maxing out. Expect at least double the veg height.

You would have wanted to supercrop while still in veg if doing it for the first time. I do it sometimes in flower but the stems get pretty thick and they don't have that big kick of N and lights to recover if I mess them up then so I'm very selective and very gentle. Tying is still an option.

So beast was around 22" when you started flower. Do you have about 4' total grow space height? You have to count the lights on top also and measure down from there.

There is a difference in yield but it may have been wise for you to let it go and work on the basics this grow.

yeah i love my birthday regardless of all the other bad shit that happened on that day lol, and for my birthday gift to myself i get to change the res on that day and makes em a week and a half into flower and 8&9 weeks old so i get to throw in the flower nutes yay. My birthday may be couple days before mine but your probably older hahaha, Anyways honestly my buckets are 14in and my girls are within an inch or 2 apart at 23 and 24 so thats 38in almost a full week into flower. I am pretty much at the point where i know im goin to have to move em but in denial cause i have no idea where im goin to put them probably in the spare room in the corner i guess. Just harder to garuntee complete darkness for 12/12.
 
yeah i noticed my baby (the one thats a week behind my spoiled one) has out stretched her she is now about an inch taller than my spoiled girl but baby drinks bout 1/2 a gal a day and and spoiled drinks close to a gal a day and of course way bushier
 
Hey girly any updates on what your girls are doin for you? How bout sex identification can you tell yet? I'm excited to see what you got goin and when things happen for you since our grows are so close together.
 
The girls are definitely shooting up in height. My tallest is 2.5 ft (30") tall now. I think I see some pistols on my biggest? IDK though... my eyes are untrained so I got a pic for the experts. :thumb:
