hey dime hows the grow going? idk if I told u I think I did but I just got a job editing. The only problem is im not home to be with the girls most of the day and keep her PH good as a result every morning i open her door ph her and she sits around 6.5 6.6 and i see the negative effects thats causing-some leaves start to contort and flex is weird unhappy ways, no perminent damage to them but i almost feel like they are reacting to that 6.5 PH the way us humans do when we suck on a sour warhead and u get that like GGGHEEEEEAHHGHGHGHGHGH STUCK TIGHTTTTTT EVERY MUSCLE BEING FLEXED AS IT SOURS OUR MOUTHS.
But luckily i've only noticed it in maybe 10 leaves on average. now im afraid it might get worse for her though because i recently read in rosebud magazine that having a PH that fluxuates up and down up and down isn't good for the girls :-? bc I end up saying FUCK and dropping the PH to 5.4 and then leaving :-/ sighhh.
Hows your grow going??? PIX!!!! POST PICS!!!

PRAY 4 JAPAN!
THEY GAVE US THE YING AND YANG FOR SHITS SAKES.

I SWARE THEY ARE THE MOST NUKED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. THAT SUCKS.

Congrats on the job! I've always been interested in editing. I had a few friends who worked in that industry. One did skate videos and the other edited porn (poor guys) :)

Sorry about the recent problems, I don't miss chasing pH that's for sure but you will pull through brother, I know you will. I know my case is a bad example but when I put the Hygrozyme in the Res the pH would stay put for a day or so, but I wouldn't want to mess with your recipe seeing what results you've already had. Just an idea.

Today's pics are one page back brother and they are getting somewhere now. I'll have new pics up tomorrow.

I love comparison photos. 7 days apart.

Watering tomorrow with Cal-Mag and Hygrozyme. Ashley isn't drinking as fast so I'll probably water her tomorrow night or the next morning.

I'll do another set right before I switch to flower, then another set from flower to harvest. It's really cool to see the differences in pics.

I need to get a new USB cable for my camera so I can start using it more. The majority of these pics were taken with my iPhone. They aren't too bad but I have to adjust the levels a bit to see the real colors as my phone loves to pick up reddish tones. I'm also going to pick up a new macro lens soon so I can get some better closeups with my DSLR. The up close pics in my journal were taken with my phone through a little 60x cheapo mini-microscope.

Well, watered the girls this morning. 2ml Cal-Mag and 10ml Hygrozyme to one gallon of distilled water. I looked underneath the buckets and can see roots all the way down the net pot type centers in the buckets. Sweet!
 
Re: dirtinmyears P-91, CFL 12-Pack, SCROG, DWC 1st Grow

It didn't take them very long to grow those roots down, huh? I was just lifting one of my buckets the other day and a root was sticking out of one of the drain holes. What's crazy about that is that I have landscape fabric at the bottom of every pot!!! The root must have somehow grown under the fabric...isn't that crazy?

When I put them in the plant warriors, the roots were pretty much touching the tops of the nets inside, but they have grown all the way down to the hydroton in the bottoms of the pots in three days! :) I guess roots will go anywhere they can looking for food. I have had garden weeds grow through little holes in the same fabric too. Nature is amazing!

Thanks, I am very happy with it so far. The tops on the side branches are taking off...I can't wait to see what they do in flower with some extra wattage!

PICS!

Figured out a way to use my actual camera so took some pics!

Thanks Hemp! I'm going to wait until this weekend to decide. I want to see how big they get but don't want to wait too long and not have enough light penetration with the CFLs. I think four or five days more of veg and I'll know. I'll just imagine them twice their size on Saturday and go from there. Ashley will be fine but MK may be too big waiting another 11-12 days.

They are going to get WAY bigger bro. Trust me when I tell you that they will get bigger. Especially in the first 2 weeks.

I don't know how long my stretch is going to last but I hope it calms down a little. I'm getting concerned about my vertical space and I've got 6 weeks to go!

You are probably right GF. I looked at them this morning and I figured that even twice as big will be pretty big from where they are now. At the rate they are growing they will be 3-4 inches larger by this weekend. I need to weigh the want for a bigger harvest with the capabilities of my setup.

The girls took a week or so getting healthy after the DWC bomb I dropped on them so it's hard to say just how long they actually vegged for. Next time around should be much smoother.

I have everything ready for the switch to 12/12 except a final plan for nutes. I have seen alot of people use the GH 3 part in soil but an exact feeding schedule has yet to be found. I had thought of using compost tea to keep a closer relation to what they are eating now... better go read up now, If you guys have any thoughts, I'm open for suggestions!

Re: dirtinmyears P-91, CFL 12-Pack, SCROG, DWC 1st Grow

Honestly dime, you don't need to go out and buy any expensive nutes. You are right that compost teas (supplemented a little bit with an inexpensive micronute package) will probably give your plants what they need through flowering.

Thank you for nominating me, BTW.
