I was wondering what plant training you did on those. Was it only LST or did you top as well? I jumped in mid journal sorry! I saw huge colas and just had to see harvest. I love plant training this is a 4.5 weeks old white widow

Back when I had a a good job I went with only the best. Now I'm rarely using them and just maintaining them so they don't break down and become obsolete. I trust my pH perfect Advanced Nutrients to regulate my solution. Also if I don't use the g/m/b I know how much Ph down I need from practical experience. I used to check soil Ph and record it daily to create charts and graphs of the medias behaviour. I also tracked my solution Ph very closely and adjusted accordingly, to keep the media from going to high or to low depending on what it was currently reading. I love my bluelab pens, they're obviously not necessary for the hobby grower and a cheaper alternative is going to do the same thing. "you go cheap, you grow cheap" was my credo when I started up. Now that's changed slightly due to economic conditions.Allo Stinky
Ye a rare visit from the notorious fuzzy well i'm not to sure about that, but indeed rare !
So some where along the lines i was checking ya grow journal out & noticed Blue Lab Soil PH Probe which got me rather interested !
That was some 80 odd pages back, i've not had time to flick through all the journal just yet to view data etc but i checked out the last several pages with little reference to PH tests during the grow ?
OK a little experiment ah... perhaps to see the change of soil PH before watering with nutrients & after or just watering to 24 hours later to see if the PH buffers back to ambient PH levels of the soil used etc ?
So what did you find out Stinky any conclusions or thoughts on the matter...
Mmm ye done some thing like that awhile ago a 2nd opinion will go a long way if we're on the right tracks ?
It's very narrow due to those insane reflector lenses the use. You can keep that light a decent distance away with good lux levels compared to some leds. But if your space is much wider than the light then you'll need something to supplement coverage. It's a great light, my only warning is that it runs hot and requires me to exhaust alot of heat. Full spectrum brother. I used veg. only, for seedlings when I needed to due bugs in my propagation cabinet.
and the consensus is... Full spectrum! 
Thanks guys, I can't believe it's been 5 days since I've been able to catch up. Between work and the ask us thread I've been so busy, and also harvesting two more widows somewhere I between all that. 
cheers
February 12th Update
An update on the sowing process. So far I've got all 3 Trans Siberian seeds to "poop" their taproots and have been sown in their red pots. One Diesel Berry has also been sown in its green pot. One DB looks to be a dud, but I'll wait another day or two to make sure. The Blackjack is so far the heartiest and was planted in the appropriate black pot. I've not decided wether I'll put them in the tent or have them under cfls first. Bugs are at a minimum currently (winter) so I may boot my propagation cabinet up again. We'll find out by next update
*Ruby*
I'm in love. What strain is she? How tall? I did a Trans Siberian A couple of grows ago. Sure pics are in my gallery but still can't figure out how to get the link to work. From what I remember was a rather good smoke. Lots of trichs. I was infected with a ransom ware virus last summer so lost everything.
Good growing.
February 19th Update 
Interlude 
ibet you've never done this. would you believe that I harvested the wrong plant... I just realized it as read my last update. Sigh... What an idiot! Anyway Emerald is still standing and will get chopped asap. Amethyst hadn't been flushed but was getting water only and was going super dry a few times so I hope flavour isn't horrible. It smells great and stunk up the house for a while. (until I cooked some bacon
) 
Intermission 
Cheers
She and the rest of the current auto run are all white Widow from AMS. Thanks for the heads up on the trans Siberian, I am really looking forward to their maturity.

That's about what they've all put out. I've got close to 8oz of this Widow bud In the stash now. With one more to go as soon as I can get around to it. cheers
Harvest note for Ruby. Total dry amount jarred 54g de-stemmed. And for amethyst here she is hanging in the drying box.
An update on the sowing process. The third trans Siberian failed to break the soil, In fact she broke her taproot in half trying. I hurriedly replanted and soaked the media in an attempt to keep her alive. She seems to have straightened out and is clearly growing her leaves. One failed diesel Berry is being replaced with another trans Siberian. 5 out of 6 ain't bad... I've had much worse ratios. They're under t5s and the runt is under a desk lamp cfl.
The current propagation cabinet
*Growers Note*
I rotate the pots as often as the tropism redirects the leaves. Usually 6-7 hours... It's amazing! The runt is getting 6 hours lights off to allow her to build some roots.

Here's this week's update for ya'll, enjoy the splendours of this week's glistening trichomes.
Auto-flowering Tent
Temperature : 71>63°f / Humidity : 30>24% Rh
The Widows
Day 139
Emerald
Notes ~
Flowering Tent
Temperature : 70>62°f / Humidity : 34>30% Rh
Marge
Atomic Bomb
Day 80 +76
Notes ~
I couldn't decide which pics were best, so I uploaded them all. The one pic is of the lower buds that were and are exposed to the ufo led.
Haze-L
Liberty Haze
Day 54 +55
Notes ~
At once, she's made of solid buds already. Stakes have been removed, all except for 2 tokeep thing level and somewhat spread open. Her sticky factor is like an 8 already. Not much else to say about this gal.
Leia
Skywalker Kush
Day 52 +55
Notes ~
I can't get over how crystally Leia is. It's turning her greyish as she glistens in the lights. I've got several limbs propped up with stakes to keep them from leaning to far. Full feeding yesterday, and some minor defoliation of dying inner canopy leaves.
Rey
Skywalker Kush
Day 49 +48
Notes ~
Rey has been doing very well in catching up to her sister and cousin. She's becoming taller than Leia and is rivalling Haze-L for canopy level superiority. Buds are staring to plump up some, but lots of filling in is to come. Aroma is getting quite noticeable according to my significant other, I can't smell anything myself since ice caught a sniffling cold. She's on her 3 dose of full bloom nutes, not letting up yet.
Thanks for checking out this week's update. Till next time...
KiG Everyone
Flawless finish or any leaching solution will help draw out the excess nutrients in the soil. A good addition
I'll drop by to see that StarKiller harvest as always Sensei Snid you've done a fabulous job.
Shruum, thank you... As always Cheers Ditchweed, appreciate the support... The garden is always open for your viewing pleasure
I hope their ninja skills are well adept to my Jedi training. I'm eager to get the training started, it's going to be a fun auto run I think. Marge is just about done, harvest is imminent. I've looked for a better backdrop but can't find anything, I need like a black felt from the crafts store.Where do I start...my brain has started to race.
*Trans Siberian leaves look like serated knife edges, looking like ninja weapons of garden combat can't wait to see them in your garden.
*Atomic is the bomb! If you don't mind I suggest if you could put a black backdrop, we may see more detail in your training?
*May the Kush be with you...lol
.
They will be, there's no doubt. Kind of you to say that,
I has two distinct phenotypes and possibly a third but it may have been to the environmental issues. One was Stinky like weed and one was more lemony like I expected. Size was relatively even for all 5, weight after harvest aswell.... So far. Cont'd,
My hopes is that you improve with every attempt. It's a great time learning with friends and growing great buds.. With every question and grow you try you'll make yourself proud of the outcome and what you've accomplished.
cheers

I regretting her demise aswell. I think I've decided that I'll be sowing a couple atomic bombs for the next run. Lisa and Maggie
That should smooth thing out with the withdrawal symptoms of her amazing bud shots. Glad to have had you along for the corkscrew adventure. I appreciate the gesture my dear, I'll find something at the crafts store. Maybe even just a a couple matte black bristle boards will do. When I send away my care package for you, send that in returnJust so happens that I have a small collection of fine fabrics...and pulled this piece special for you. It will need a good ironing but it's yours if you want it. It's about 2 x 2 metres and would be light to ship. It's yours, if you want it Snid?
EDIT ***Michaels and craft stores have the large felt sheets but to be honest, I don't think it will cover the size of your plants unless you combine several sheets.
cheers
