Left side clones at 5 days in:

Showin a little yellow on some. Maybe they would like the transition feeding schedule better the first week rather than straight to bloom... I'll try it out next batch.

looking good man.


Im hoping to have my ebb and gro up and running in the next month. I have been going through yours and pitvipers posts.
first, as of now im planning on going with GH 3 Part, Floralicicous plus hygrozyme
and Sweet from Botanicare, what all are you using?

also im gunna ask you the same question i just asked pit if you don't mind, and im planning on going with The GH nutes like you.
i want to try and use my well water, but i havn't bought a ec meter yet, and when i go to the store i may need to get the hardwater micro nutes.
How do i know if ive got to much mag. cal. iron sulfer ect?

Hope im not jacking your journal

thanks
 
DDAAAAAMMNNN BBBBBB!

those things really filled out quickly! did I miss a set of pics, or did they suddenly just fill out into long top colas? that shit is looking bomb dude, I can't wait to see them juice up bro. they are gonna be huge. I love your system.

You could have your well water analyzed at a place that service wells or check your yellow pages for water treatment. There are places on the web that will do the test for you. A pool center can do some basic test. Also, there are over-the-counter test kits that are sold at aquarium centers.

I personally wouldn't worry about the well water, it should provide a good source of Ca and Mg. Get an EC meter first to determine your TDS. From the results of that reading, you can decide to go with GH regular or hard water solution.

My TDS is 250ppm from the tap. I use regular GH Mirco and my plants love it. I don't have to add Ca/Mag solution since my tap water provides enough. Your plants will tell you if you have a deficiency in your solution.

Remember: your house plants and plants in the yard are growing well from your well water. MJ is a weed and weeds will grow almost under any conditions. I know we want the best results, however, I have used both R/O and tap water and got results from both, in hydroponics and soil.

Your water content is public knowledge look it up online or call the water dept for a report. It will tell you ppm ranges of all the elements in the water. Def get an EC/PPM meter as you will need it to grow. Dont want to guess what your PPM's are.

Thanks weedy
 
Those have gotten so frosty almost overnight it seems and wow bud explosion all up and down those stems. :goodjob: They love you!

Your little blue flags have dissappearred almost, lol...:smokin:



:peace: from the mountains. +rep (when I can, guess I been stingy with my love....)
 
Amazing. From week 3 to 4 is spectacular.

Do you do anything to help with the big colas? ie. trimming of some kind? Or is that strain specific?

Obviously you like the GH nutes or you wouldn't use them. Are you seeing significantly better results than whatever you used before? And what did you use before?

And by the way all the previous assumes that you are a growing machine and cannabis God so if its just good growing forgive the questions ;)

:peace:

Wow - they really went nuts week 3 to 4. Man, that makes me green with envy! :cheertwo:

+reps for the textbook grow.

yeah its a huge difference. I guess thats what happens when they dont spend all the energy stretching. )

slosmokin said:
Very nice!!
Quick question, how much is that pineapple express stretching on you? I have heard she's a pretty sativa dom strain. What height did you flip her into flower? What height is she now? Also, that rock lock looks like it's gonna yield fat! +reps! (if I can)
:cheertwo:
Click to expand...

She is actually same height as my Nemesis and Blue Widow. She's behaving very much like an indica dom strain as far as stretch goes. RockLock is the lankiest of the 4 right now. The whole bunch stopped stretching around 3 weeks. This last week is bud growth and crystal development.

Damn dude, I gotta install a seat belt on my chair cause this this grow is taking off like greased lightning and I dont wanna miss the ride!! I love the weekly comparison, really shows the progression of plant development. Which I must add is ridiculously awesome......:slide::slide::slide:

Thank you fly. Its crazy looking at the side by side week to week. I look at them 10 times a day so looking back at the pics really shows me how they are taking off.

I haven't done any trimming yet. I may go through and tuck -n- trim the major light blockers but thats to help the lower buds, shouldn't have an effect on the main colas.

When I first started I used GH Flora Series from that start and it just worked flawlessly. When I added my second ebb/grow I decided to use BC Series for a sort of side by side compare. I ended up battling root rot issues that were not related to the nutes but rather a problem with my flood table retaining a puddle of water and the roots suffered a bit of pythium. I lost a few plants to it that grow. From there I fixed the issue with my veg table and have just stuck with what works. -GH Flora Series. I used the 3 part plus koolbloom. I dont spend a lot and I get great results.

However I do still use the Technaflora BD series nutes for veg. No particular reason other than I have them and they veg my plants just fine and seem to be pretty forgiving. When I run out I may just stick with GH, who knows though.
 
I bet the Technaflora came with the Ebbs.....Looks awesome B!!

yes it did. But they are small bottles. SO I used in my small veg setup and liked the results. easy to use for veg 2 parts boost to 1 part grow.

She is 28 inches from the top of the hydroton. She was about 8-10 inches tall when she went to flower.

thanx im thinking of doing a smaller scale grow than normal, shorter plant smaller space

Seeing some of your pic are guiding me the way i need to go

Thanx and great pictures
 
Great info on the nutes. Thanks.

Got another question please. How big is your reservoir per number of buckets. And is that the Texas controller or the other.

:thankyou:
