Basically only one word to describe your grow: Perfect.

Thank you papa green. I would exactly call it perfect. If it were I would be hitting the fabled 1gr per watt each go around ;) Still trying though

hehe sounds tempting. I'd love to outsource my mom's just come by and take cuttings bend em around a bit and come back in another 3-4 weeks. Someone else waters and feeds.
 
Moved the clones over to flower today :) I have a good feeling about this batch. crossing my fingers for 20-24 oz

some of them really got to stretch out huh? which one is the tall one on the left?

It's gonna be really hard to pull huge cycles with so many different strains I think. the tent looks great though. who do you think is looking the best so far?
 
Yeah those rocklocks are really stretching out. I put them out on the perimiter on purpose so they dont grow up into my lights. Once they finsh I'm going to bend them over. No more of those after the left side finishes.

So far I'm really torn between the rest. The PE, Nemesis and BW are looking really nice and right up my ally... Stacked and getting fat early. The BW clones really took off so that may be a good one to propagate. nemesis clones were a little slower to root but maybe thats because they were thicker than the rest. Anyones guess really at this point. Next batch is probably gonna be mostly nemesis due to the fact that my PE and BW moms are so young still. I need to cut clones in the next few days. I may have to borrow a few cuts from the clones that just went in the tent today. We'll see. Thanks for coming by ;)

Hell yes, all is good....and getting better every day. :ganjamon:
I was kind of curious, are you finding that the hydro set-up is more or less labor intensive than your soil grows? I really dig your set-up. When I was running flood tables I found my daily labor was pretty intense, but the turn-over between crops was easier than mixing the soil and such. Just wondering what your thoughts were, recently I really tweeked my back and may need to go under the knife; so schlupping soil in the near future may not be my option :surrender:

Oh yeah, hope you enjoy the PE its a good one.

Much less work for me this way. I change the barrels/res every 10 days. cut clones once a month. Only heavy lifting really is when I use the wet dry vac to suck out the cloner but I can use my pump I use for the barrels if I wanted to. vac is quicker though.

Your more than welcome, just joking! Mcbudz, I went thru the entire journal looking for the type of system you are growing your buds in? I didn't see a mention, or am I not seeing it? :peace:

I run 2 x 12 site ebb and grows by CAP in my flower tent. Flora Series nutes by GH

I run a home made ebb and flow table in my closet for vegging. Technaflora BC series nutes for veg.

I run an ezclone 60 for cloning. Vita grow rooting compound and Aqua Flakes A+B for cloning.

My moms are in Fox farm Ocean Forest soil. FF Grow Big and Cal-mag for moms in veg
 
No shit??? I didn't know they shot up vertically so fast once in flower! A few of those ladies really stretched out didn't they? My canopy resembles yours at about week 2 right now.
I'm worried now. My woman and I are going to Cancun for a week next Sunday. If they stretch THAT much, they're gonna run into my 600W Digital HPS and burn! And I cannot risk burnt tops or worse, a fire!
The ladies are nestled safely in a DR120 with adequate ventilation, 8 inch ducting, 8 inch Vornado for the HPS, a 24" 500cfm fan pushing fresh air in from outside and one 'tent sock' open opposite that 24" fan up high to vent the hot, spent air. Oh, and a mini portable heater w/thermostat set at 76 degrees. Tent is Perrrrfectly adjusted. Doesn't bulge at all. Ladies LOVE it.

McBudz, in your expert opinion, should I raise the lights, the day we leave, a bit further than normal just to be safe? Or are they gonna be okay through days 21-28, and probably won't stretch all too much yet? I have nobody to trust COMPLETELY to take care of them...except maybe my sister, but she lives just within an hour away in the Oakland Hills. Don't want to burden her with this. But if I have no choice, she will...we're budz :passitleft:

hmmmmmmm.....not sure why, but this site doesn't have an 'Attach' button... not sure how to upload my pics....
