How about stretch KJC?

I measured the height of all the plants again.

AK48 #3 are from 37 1/4" to 39"
Hindu Kush #3 is 34"
Hindu Kush #2 is 15 1/4"
AK47x Alaskan Thunder 17 1/4"

How large of size of pots are your plants in? How tall are your plants and how many nodes of growth do they have? Are you watering with full strength 7.5 ml per 1 litre of nutrient mixture? The goal is to water your plant every few days. You should water your medium in your pot until you see runoff water just begin to flow from the bottom of the pot then allow the plant several days to dry until they require watering again.

I have not experimented with air injection into soil. How often are you finding your pots are going dry with the air injection? You may also want to cover your clear pots with tape as roots do not like light.

Street light thing is bogus? If you mean you can grow and flower a plant outdoors near a street light, and it won't hermie that's correct if that's the plants home. But if you move a plant there as it's started flowering that has been getting uninterrupted dark, then I know for sure that this will create a hermie. I've done this on afew occasions.

I grow outside and my girls have never hermied in the same spot for 3 grows in direct streetlight, the closer HID street light is about 24 paces/ 70 feet to the pole, plus the 30 vertical, feet, up.

the plant is in unobstructed line of view, as the plant grows, it gets hit by a second streetlight, about 80 feet away,

from the opposite side. my 2 cents

Great shares Gris & King

Great Journal King John! I find running only a 4-5 week veg time a 3 gallon pot works best for nutrient delivery and soil recovery after watering. less pot; less medium, less to ph. less problems. If soil conditions arise I have that option to jump to 5 gallon.

What is your take on these Bloom additives the promise huge returns? Do you recommend? Just a shot of Phos I believe. I run a basic grow with the FF usual suspects and find the tiger bloom and big bloom combo to be rewarding under the 600 watt HID at 900ppm topping off at 12-1400.

Thanks man!

Good morning King and friends.

We have a newbie from from the islands that could use some help with his first grow. Soil and MarsII. Would be great if you soil guys could pop over and give him a hand.

The bloom additives that I use are Liquid KoolBloom, KoolBloom dry and Snow Storm Ultra, I have found that all 3 add something more then the base nutrients and are worth the cost. Most bloom additives are a combination of phosphorous and potassium.

Very nice King John! I can't wait to see how they finish!

I don't think I need to even ask how your liking the lights... They really look amazing. do you think you are seeing better growth with the LEDs than the lights you were previously using?......

re: KingJohnC's Lush Lighting LED Dominator 2x Soil Indoor Grow Journal & Review

I am convinced that the Lush Lighting Dominator 2x can vegetate a plant as well as a Metal Halide Light, the plants have had tremendous growth that resulted in a lush and dense foliage on the plants. When I defoliated before flower I removed some 10" and 11" leaves from the plants. I am also seeing a good early flower response in my plants by how fast they are now producing pistils from the growing tops.

Wow that's quite the approval for them coming from you Sir... Your grow does look beautiful...

re: KingJohnC's Lush Lighting LED Dominator 2x Soil Indoor Grow Journal & Review

Yes, it appears that your LED is indeed growing some beauties. I saw those tomato cages you have on the plants in Big Lots today for 4.50 US. Is that a good price for those?

I am curious to see how much you harvest with no training. Any predictions?

re: KingJohnC's Lush Lighting LED Dominator 2x Soil Indoor Grow Journal & Review

The collapsible triangular tomato cages I purchased I payed $2 each at a dollar store but I am guessing you may not have another retailer close to you that caries the tomato cages at a better price. I have not made a harvest prediction yet, I am really curious what the gram per watt efficiency will be. When I was contemplating how best to make this grow journal so the results would be directly applicable to someone else I decided to grow my plants without training so that they may serve as a better group to base results on for average people who wish to grow a few plants without the heavy training I would normally do.

Hello John. Your innocent by-stander has a request. Your pics are so vivid that I was wondering if it's possible to take a few in white light. I can only imagine what they look like naturally.

Unfortunately I had to take down the Florescent light fixture I had mounted in the room to accommodate the location where the Lush Lighting Dominator 2x is hung from so I do not have another light source to use as alternate lighting.

Shucks, knowing you I should have known there was a good reason.
