Thanks 013. As you can see I changed some things up. What i have go oh ng on is as each plant reaches its end another will be ready to take her place. I'm really just having a blast trying to win one of these contest. I could really use some of the winnings.
 
Well another week and everything is go iij ng good. Water ph at 5.7 with res temp at 68f. I'm running flora nute system from general hydroponics and running aggressively. my baby's are getting a 2 part kelp spray 3 times a day. with an Alaskan moorbloom spritz. Lol. Doing everything I can to push her. I've been trying for almost 3 weeks now and my eldest has produced several new top running mates. So I'm excited to see the out come. I'm adding a few pictures of my setup. The color isn't the greatest due to the LEDs but you know what's going on. when everyone wake up here I will get more natural lighted pictures of the girls.

how is everything coming along your way josh? I just got my Z9 and what a difference dude
 
So this is Mo vado I received her as a seed from a dispensary in Illinois out of 40 g I got one little bitty white seed. I put are in water 1 month ago today October 25th she went into water surrounded by expanded clay pellets In one month she is grown 8" and looks to be ready to be transplanted into a bigger pot I believe I'm gonna set up another bucket and still use my fish aquarium as a reservoir I like using the bucket system because you can separate your plants internum and do all sorts of different things easily. On my water right now every morning it's pretty been consistent PH is 5.8 water temperature is 68.2ﾟF I'm aggressively running General Hydroponics Flora gro system I've got a full your spray of Alaskan more Bloom in raw kelp 2 separate spray bottles and I missed them 3 times A-day besides the nutrients from General Hydroponics I'm also run in 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide in 2 oz of epson salt I've an assortment of fish in my reservoir which is in fact in a fish aquarium I have read Rosie minnows 12 of them Any little fish called tetris 20th of them I also have plant life inside the reservoir fish aquarium which includes all aquatic life is far as plants go I believe I've covered everything if I've missed something please feel free to ask I'm just working on my journal in trying to get all the kinks and stuff worked out I wanna thank everyone out there for help me along my way just being here in general these are awesome days upon us.

Everything is great @PK I've been watching your adventure and I see your taking yet another turn. Hopefully all is well and getting better my friend. I just posted a little tutorial about one of my baby's. And soon to be more. I'm just super busy at work right now.
 
Ok so in these new pictures I've separated two separate grows spots. One I consider my veg box and then I have two buckets I call my flower buckets. I've set these 2 buckets up so that when one of the girls need their own space, well I give it to her. Shoot I come from a time where your always supposed to keep momma happy. Cause if you dont, well no ones happy. So I've separated the girls. The great white is in the 2nd week of flower. I feel like maybe she's moving a little fast so I've increased the light from 14 to 18. She is a auto flower so what I've read tells me that the light wont hurt. The movado is a photo. I just gave her, her own bucket so I'm hoping she thrives. She is a month old today. I got her from a dispensary in Illinois out of one of the flowers I had. There was only one under developed seed and it seems to be the fastest growing yet. I stopped her last night. I want to top her early in Hope's that I can get another topping in before flower. This gal movado is going to be a beautiful lady in the days to come. I will post pictures and tell what happens during the rest of her stages. In the days to come I will be adding a better light. I've entered in a bunch of raffles and contest in Hope's that my luck picks up.
Anyway HAPPY THANKSGIVING all. I just wanted to tell everybody what is going on here in the show me state.

Veg box.
20201126_053639.jpg
Flower buckets. Surrounded by light. 150w light bulb 20w fullspecturm led 500w halogen.
 
You know maybe my lights are not strong enough and I'm going to only produce small girls until I get a better light. My total wattage for my lights all together is 730w. I'm a little short ain't I?
 
Ok so here's my new day report of my great white and mavado. Both girls seem to be thriving and growing well. No signs of any stresses in their lives besides me. My ppm in both buckets is 205 and ph for both is 5.6. Water temp is a little high at 74°f. I just surrounded my flower spot with a windshield sun block that is made out of reflective mylar material. Here are some pics. Of my girls. The first is the mavado. She just got topped two days ago and seems to be taking it well.

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking about painting my whole room white once I get everything straightened out in there. I am going to be redoing my whole set up here soon. I want a better veg box and flower spot. Ya know
 
get a semi-gloss finish or gloss finish and just paint the growing area with that sheen. unless you want shiny walls :laughtwo:
your plants are coming out nicely. well done Josh!
