A few pics of the early days, they popped on June 23rd in coco solos.

Around a 6 week veg, flipped on 8/9 to 12/12.

Just a little update, had to build some stands as the plants were growing at different rates,(hights)
So to even things out I built 4 stands, two at 6", one at 8" and one at 10". Got all plants level, I did not realize that BC1 had grown so much in the past two days, oh well the others will catch up soon.

This is day 8 of 12/12, stretching a lot but don't think I will fully fill the screens.

I will be doing a minor defo at day 20 of 12/12, mainly larf and some fans, not many fans though.

Sorry, sort of fell off the planet for a while.
Day 35 of 12/12

Let's see, since last post, at day 16 of 12/12 I began seeing some sign of problems, by day 20 I had one BC very much into Claw. I was running low ppm's 500 to 600 and a pH of 5.8 to 6.0. Looked like I was facing some serious lockout.
I went into salvage mode, first flushing with PH'ed low nute mix, I have now switched nute programs. And waiting to see if i get good results.
Have increased the size of the lower rez and doubled it's capacity. Taking a week trip to CO, going to be a good test of the system.

This was the BC with the worst Claw, was getting no new growth so I chopped the top on her, will see how the other buds react.

Day 57 12/12
Looks like 7 to 14 days, strain dependent.

Just returned from a 6 day trip and the plants did well, no run aways, no buds in the lamp, only thing was my lower rez ran out of liquid but the upper rez still had two to three more days in it. I think I found the answer to my drifting pH, I removed the air stones from the upper rez and the pH dropped only about 1.5 points, starting pH last Thursday was 6.1 and upon return it was 5.94. Last trip the pH started at 6.2 and went to 5.4 in the 6 days I was gone. No more air stones.

Plants are doing ok considering all the shit I put them through. It looks like I will be harvesting in a week or two. Trichs are mostly clear, only funky on the BC1 that went bonkers on me during the grow, it has clear trichs on the lower part of the plant while the upper looks extremely weird. They are totally foxtailing!

Just in auto mode for the next week or so, not much I can do from here on out but sharpen my manicure scissors.
They are what they are!GR
