Hey BS! Great looking grow you've got going. Definitely going to follow along. We started our plants around the same time maybe a few days difference. I'm going to be comparing ours like everyday haha. Stay stoned!!

Thanks Pino, and welcome Luke. I am following like 50 journals now, so addicting,, lmao, and yes, I compare everyday too. I think i am behind most I compare too though.
So, got home late last night, and WOW, the girls exploded...
I want to move them into the 4x4, they are just filling up this little 2x4 fast. I have one 600w LED, and dont know if I will have the funds to get the 2nd one I want for the 4x4 for a week or so. maybe i can get it sooner...
Do I move them into the tent with 1 600w and 2- 300w for now, until the other 600 comes in?
On the FIM things, I cant seem to grasp that ,,, missed. all I did was give them a funky ass haircut. prob gonna just top them tonight. I got a new concept for the up-pot...
One pic for today, will try and get good pics if/when I move them to the big tent.

Water change on the buckets, and WOW, were they LOW on water,, man. Same formula, 5ml bloom, 10ml micro, 15ml grow, 1ml floraliscous, 5ml calmag, .6 ml mammoth P, 1ml root tonic, PH coming out was 5.4, and going in is 5.8, PPM is 2300, coming out is was over 6k, well according to cheap ppm meter,,,, thinking they drank a ton of water, and nutes got left behind? I suppose I could have just topped off the buckets with ph water, but I dont know what nutes are left,, so may then be in a completely wrong concentration,,? am I thinking to deep into that? I figured it was just better to mix a new batch. But when I move them into bigger buckets, it will be much more nutes to mix,,,,
Topped the bucket brigade. didn't try for that FIM, I always miss that and end up just fucking up the leaves real bad.
Couple of pics,,,
first a fan leaf i cut, man it's huge, and the blades are so wide, so much more than anything I remember from growing in the past,, is that from the LEDs?
one of the buckets, man, they are so compact,, incredible...
and some roots,,

Hey vesper, yeah, they got some roots, one plant, (I thought I took a pic of it, but I guess not), it's roots were double that top pic, just a huge root ball, and the water level was down to less than an inch in the bucket, that one drinks.

Quick little update on S5, the runt. she grew in weird, starting on her 2nd set of leaves she grows in threes. instead of throwing up a pair of leaves at each node, she is throwing three. never seen that before,, very neat.
here's a pic, I have not cut her in any way,, no defoil of fans, no topping..
I labeled them,, one is blue, one is green, one is white

I ordered a new light for the 4x4 yesterday, should be here Wed.
Cheap chinese box, but the bestva 300w has been running good so far, the vipar was too much money for me for now..
And i have a KingLED 600w already,
those will be the two lights for the 4x4. Hopefully will have that setup by the EOW, and move everyone in there.
Now, IDK if the fan I have running will be enough, but the other one may be too much,, lmao.. I dont want to swap fans while stuff is in the tent, my clumsy ass will surely trample on one... so, do I switch them out before i load anything in?
running a 240 CFM inline duct fan now, but I do have a 450 CFM inline fan that I can swap out.

got the new light, need a bit of air tubing. I plan on putting the air pump, on the foam block, on top of the tent, run the air tube in one of the small holes. hopefully, that will dampen the vibration of that damn pump.
Some random pics, the tent is getting full, so I dont know what to do... the buckets will be ready to flip this weekend I think, but I think the soils will benefit from another week or so in veg. but they all need more room now. Tonight the buckets get a water change, so I think I will move them into the big tent, under the new lights on 16/8, and leave the soils in the small tent for another week, maybe even til the 10th..lol then I could have one set of girls (hopefully) flip with leo, and another set going with vesp and the gang..lol IDK yet.

Hell yeah, those babies are looking good. I'm so excited about flipping them. If i didn't need to do a final light seal check i probably would have gotten impatient and flipped them already lol, i just keep trying to remember what snarly is telling me and be patient!got the new light, need a bit of air tubing.

just turned on the kingled tonight. moved the 4 buckets into the flower tent (but still on veg time) for now. when the rest of them make it in there I will have that and the bestva 800W. I like the vipar the best so far in veg, but thats because more blue light and easier to see, but I think the plats like them both the same,, they are both rocking...

And wow, were the buckets dry,,,, like 1/2 inch or less in each bucket,,
The 5 soil pots, spread out, and a couple were tied down a bit. Coulpe of fans clipped.
the 4 buckets in the 4x4 under the king-led
couple of random shots of the buckets, they are compact little things, they have been under the vipar the entire time,,,

oh, and I moved the air pump, if you look at the pic with the buckets in the 4x4, you will see the air line coming in the bottom of the tent.
I put the air pump on the top of the tent, and it was hot.. now it sits partially in the exhaust path to keep cool, and its not heating up the tent.. win win..

resinouswood posted in another journal that he is selling his. he had a heart attack and cannot grow anymore, maybe you can get a deal. he got a really nice one.
I have an air pump that looks just like that one. It is definitely loud and hot. It was so loud I ended up getting a whisper pump for half the price that works really well and runs really quite. I keep that one around and use it to mix my nutes and stuff before putting it in my actual reservoirs. The plants are lookin good man, keep it up!
