New year New Grow. Started my 6th grow on Sunday January 1st. This time 3 photoperiodplants in my grow chamber and 2 autoperiod plants out in the main room. The photoperiod plants are under a Mars Hydro Reflector 192 and the 2 autos are under 2 mars hydro reflector 48s and a mars hydro 300 unit. I am growing a pure power plant, a white widow, a master kush, swiss cheese auto, and an AK-48 auto. Cut down the total number of plants in each section on this grow. I'm going to see if I get a bushier grow ..... in other words the same dry weight from fewer plants.

SO take care, enjoy the show, :cheertwo:and most important always keep it GREEN:cheertwo::cheertwo:
 
All 5 seeds are up and open. Here are pictures of the baby girls in their homes until I cut them down. The first three are in 7 gallon fabric pots. I've moved from 4 plants in my main grow chamber. I'm planning on letting them bush out a bit. Based on the past grows, I should be able to fill all the space with only 3 as easily as with 4. The other 2 are auto flower and my first try at true hydroponics.:volcano-smiley:

Nick, so far everything I have grown has been obtained from Nirvana. So far I have been very pleased with their service and speedy delivery. I've go a bunch of their strains ... almost all of the ones they classify as "high" THC content.:ganjamon:
 
Haven't been on here much lately. Between taxes, a new product launch at work, getting ready for our next cruise in 2 weeks I really haven't had much time. Also the first few weeks of growth is much the same as all the previous grows so no real news. I had probelms with 2 of my seeds (both my issue) so initially I was going to have an AK-48 but that didn't work out now it is a bubliciuos auto flower. I also has a problem with the master kush so I replanted and he second is growing well.The two auto flowers (bubliciuos and Swiss cheese) are in hydroponic pots andseem a little scrawny ... probably something I did or didn't do.... but healthy and growing well. The bubliciuos is 2 weeks behind the swiss cheese (5 weeks).

Here are a couple pics of the grow so far. From left to right in the photo are master kush, pure power plant and white widow (largest of the 3 at almost 24"). All photo period plants 5 weeks old except the master kush is 4. The other two pics are the smaller bublicious and the swiss cheese.

Thanks, follow along and enjoy the grow pufpufpas. I'm looking forward to seeing how the hydroponics actually work out. Ive had good luck with the soil/coco mix but this is my first foray into true hydroponics. Should be fun.

Take care and remember to always :cheertwo:Keep it Green:cheertwo:
 
Things are going well. No nute or pest problems so far. I flipped the photoperiod plants in my grow chamber to 12/12 two weeks ago and they are growing well. Getting the hang of the hydro buckets I think. The swiss cheese had a reading of 350 ppm and a pH of 5.86 so I added some nutes (the instructions said don't add any more but the ppm said it was low. started off at 1100 or so). I figured my plant needed more nutes so I gave it to her (raised to ~600ppm). Two days later no problems to speak of and the leaves actually look like they are lifting to the lights (a good sign of a happy plant i've read). The biggest of the bunch is still the white widow photoperiod at almost 3 feet right now. Here are a couple of pictures from last weekend. CompARE THE SIZES OF THE ONES IN THE HYDRO BUCKETS ...lOOKS To me (sorry about the cap I hit caps lock on by mistake) like they have nearly doubled in size in just a week.

I leave for my cruise on friday afternoon:woohoo::theband::yahoo::party::party: so I probably won't be posting much more until then (cruising the eastern carribean - cosumel, belize and some private port) but until I get back stay safe, have fun and as always do as I do and :cheertwo: Keep it Green :cheertwo:

Been a while since I dropped in. Sorry about that but we have had some family issues. While I was on vacation, a family member that was staying in our house broke into my grow room and proceeded to lie about it after we returned (we had pictures from a camera in there). Because of this we had to ask them to leave .... words were said, and I had to clean out the grow room for now to stay safe. Too bad as they were looking very good so far. I'll drop in from time to time just to keep the log going but I will not be growing anything for a month or two until stuff cools down anyway. I will grow again!!!
 
Damn that suck Budman. Better safe then sorry though. I understand you cleaning everything out. Rule #1 Dont let anybody find out whats behind that locked door, Not even your own mother lol. Be looking foreward to the next grow when you get things sorted out. Until then have fun on them cruises and let me know if you find anymore good books. :passitleft:
 
Thanks Nick. AAppreciate it . I think I might start it back up beginning of april .... but we will see. Reguardless I will be starting up some of the normal garden plants about then (Lettuce and onions). I may get a couple of extra seeds started then as well. I figure if anything were going down it would have happened by then or it never will. :volcano-smiley:
 
I started my lettuce and onions today. 24 onions and 6 heads of lettuce. I plan to add another head every week so once i start harvesting I can get a new head every week until the end of the season. Since I was planting I figured I might as well start the grow back up. In order to save time the first batch back will be all autoflowers: blueberry kush auto, bubleicious auto, lemon og haze auto, and swiss cheese auto. All from Nirvana. I just started the seeds tonight. Lets see where this new journey takes me!!
 
Just a short note. Its been 3 weeks since seeds met soil. They are growing well. The swiss cheese had a hard birth and looks to be about a week or so behind the other 3. But other than that they are growing good.

Here are the 3 week photo's

Thanks Nick. One More week, now the girls are 4 weeks old and starting into that fast veg/bloom stage where it grows like an inch a day for a while. I think this is my favorite stage of growth except for maybe the final few days before harvest when the trichromes are turning amber and the excitement of the harvest is upon you (:partyboy::partyboy::partyboy::popcorn::popcorn:). They are looking good so far.

Another week has come and gone. The girls have grown phenomenally this week especially the swiss cheese auto which went from the shortest to the tallest in just one week! They all must have grown 6 inches this week alone but the swiss cheese grew the most. They are all looking very healthy. I have a couple of brown spots on the Lemon OG Haze autoflower and noted some pH issues with her. That has been corrected now. Hopefully, there will be no more problems but if there are I'll deal with them. If I don't know what to do I'll just come here and I'm sure the good people on this site will have an answer for me (more likely 5 or six radically different ideas of what to try:Namaste:).
Now for the important stuff the weekend pot porn review week 5.

and all the girls together

The girls are six weeks old and growing like weed(s). In the last week I believe they have grown between 6 and 12 inches and range from 18 to 27 inches from ground to tip ..... not spindly thin growth but thick and healthy looking growth. The plants have grown together so much that individual shots aren't really any good any more. Below are two pictures of the overall grow .... one from this week and one from last. WOW they have surged in just one week. Been using General hydroponics and keeping the pH right. Nothing extra special just good consistent care.
