Today was sort of busy and I forgot to pick up batteries for my camera so I'll have some photo's for tomorrow. I checked the soil and the ladies are about due for a good feeding so I started bubbling their feeding for possibly tomorrow or the following day...The Rh today was back to within my comfort zone at 43% so I knew that the plants should be picking up their pace a little after going thru completely dry air for a week...

In 4.5 gallons of distilled water I mixed up:

Earthjuice:
Grow 120ml
Bloome 60ml
Micro 40ml
Catalyst 40ml
MetaK 35ml

Advanced Nutrients:
H2 Humic acid 40ml
F1 Fulvic acid 30ml
Liquid carboload: 10ml

General Organics:
Cal/Mag 40ml

Unsulfured Molasses about 2 tbsp...eyeballed as usual

I also switched out my 400w MH back over to the 400w HPS Ushio because after taking a good look at the growth of the tent it seemed that the Hps side was much thicker buds with the same amount of trichome production... So I will most likely run the dual HPS for a good 2-3 weeks and then when the ladies are getting closer to finish time, I will throw the MH back in... I know that I've switched back and forth a ton this grow, but I haven't quite been happy with my setup... Ideally I would like another lumatek 600 dial a watt with a hps so i could run both of the 600s in the flower, and use the 400 for a veg tent...but that will hopefully be soon...

Today the ladies got a good feeding...

fed them the bubbled Earthjuice tea today and the temps and humidity were perfect for the ladies to get back to normal for growing.. temps were in the low 70s and RH was at 40% today...

Other than that nothing was done to the ladies besides sitting back and admiring them...

Here are the photo's for today, Day 31 Flowering..

Buds are looking great Ice! Some nute burn not too bad. Love your new bong it's massive. You'll need it for the up coming harvest of these ladies, add ice and you're good to go!

Yes icemud, ladies look like they are enjoying more moisture in the air.

Going to be a big harvest, need a hand chopping it down and sampling?

Today is Day 35 of flowering, Dec 13th.

A few day's ago I placed an order for a Phillips Mastercolor 400w Ceramic Metal Halide bulb and it should arrive within this week. I decided that I wanted a MH bulb with a more even output, with UV output as well as High in the red area and this bulb seemed to be the key for a well rounded spectrum. My ushio 400wMH conversion has superior blue end of the spectrum compared to all other bulbs I researched and I will continue to use the Ushio for veg, however for flower it was a bit weak on the red spectrum....so for flowering I will use the CMH and for veg the MH Ushio...

Here is the spectrum chart for the Ushio MH

and as you can see the Phillips CMH has a more even sunlight spectrum...similar in the blue region but much fuller in the red..
(left photo is CMH)

Other than the lighting, temps have been pretty cool as well as the humidity sitting between 28%-35% which for flowering I couldn't be happier.

The girls are really filling out and thickening up as well as displaying tons of trichomes...

Should be giving them a good feeding within the next few days, seems that they are uptaking water pretty quickly now...

Day 37 of flowering!! Dec, 15th....

Today I fed the ladies some pre bubbled nutrients...

The mix was bubbled for over 24 hours..

4.5 gallons of distilled water with

Earthjuice:
Grow 120ml
Bloom 65ml
catalyst 40ml
metak 35ml
microblast 40ml

General Organics:
Cal/Mag... I read that you can 2x the doses with calmag so I used 1.5 times at 60ml

Advanced Nutrients:
H2 Humic acid 40ml
F1 Fulvic acid 30ml
Im out of liquid carbo load or I would have added it

Unsulfured molasses about 1 tbsp
Naked Brand fruit smoothy, Blue machine... about 30ml

My ladies are looking pretty healthy, but my front right OG101 and my back left XJ-13 are showing a lot of yellowing fan leaves which looks kind of like a N deficiency, however I have been using very large doses of Earthjuice grow so I am not quite sure what is causing the yellowing. I checked the soil with my soil probe and all pots were sitting under 7ph...generally around 7.6-7.8. I will have to keep a close eye on the ladies and see what happens...

Otherwise things are looking really good.

Today is Day 38 of Flowering and things are looking pretty good.

I received my Ceramic Metal Halide by mail today and it really seems to be about the same brightness as my Ushio 400w MH, but has a much fuller red end of the spectrum, rivals and even surpasses that of a HPS, as well has an extended UV end for helping to increase trichome production. I have high hopes for this light, as many have happily stated that it makes a significant difference.

I also did a very heavy defoliation to the girls, (you will see in the photos with HPS ON) to help the light reach the lower bud sites as well as help focus most of the energy to the buds. A grower buddie of my suggested to remove all fan leaves lower than 4 counts down....so I removed all large fans, leaving only the top ones, along with the lower sugar leafs...

Much better airflow now thru the tent, more even tempeture between the top of the tent and below the canopy.

Other than that, the plants seem to be doing great today!!

Looking great Ice. Just jammed full of nice buds. Kind of like a Where's Waldo picture.

Day 41 flowering, Dec 19th....

Wow, what a difference with this new Ceramic metal halide bulb....after just a few days running I already notice a significant difference in the amount of trichomes forming as well as a huge difference in the amount of bud swelling taking place on that side of the tent, vs before, where growth under the Ushio MH was much slower in the flowering state...

Other than that not much has been done the last few days besides admiring there beauty, they really are starting to stink quite a bit and with my carbon scrubbers and makeshift DIY odor box, the smell seems to remain in the tent unless its opened.

My XJ-13 still seems to be showing quite a bit of yellowing in the mid to lower fan leaves and I find it hard to believe its a N deficiency because of the high regiment of earthjuice Ive been feeding, as well as the soil sitting within the healthy 6.8ph range...not too sure whats wrong with her...will just have to keep nursing her and see what happens...

This has been fun to watch. You update pics frequently and it has been interesting seeing the buds grow.

Thanks 70sG!!

I eventally want to make a slideshow/video of the photos all quick so it looks like they grow before your eyes... I try to take the same photos daily so it will look good when done...lets hope so

Today is Day 42 of flowering, can't believe how thick and frosty the girls are getting. Each time I open my tent I am reminded how strong these og's are, litereally the smell slaps me in the face!! I love there stink!!

Mixed up 5 gallons of distilled water today to put on bubble for 48 hours. The ladies are getting pretty dry, but not yet showing wilting leaves, so I figure 2 days from now they will be nice and thirsty. I purposely am letting the soil dry out more than usually because I have been read that constant but low impact stress on the ladies in flower will increase resin flow, therefore helping to increase potency.

My mix..

5 gallons of distilled water:

Earthjuice:
Grow 140ml
Bloom 70ml
Metak, 50ml
catalyst 50ml
micro 40ml

Advanced Nutrients
H2 humic acid, 50ml
F1 fulvic acid, 40ml

General Organics
Cal/Mag, 60ml

Naked Blue machine fruit smoothy, approx 20ml (sugars, b-vitamins)
Green Coconut water, approx 20 ml... (sugars, potassium, lots of macro/micro nutrients)

Thats a hell of a good idea. I would definitely watch that. That some "rug of nugs" you got there. A time lapse movie of that would be a keeper for sure.
