This is a recap from what I've been posting elsewhere.
Starting with the first set up pics or so.
From clone, just transplanted 5 days tomorrow(2-2-14). Running light in 130W mode instead of 190W.(Edit: 130W for the past 3 days. The first 2 after placing the rapidrooters in the coco were at 60W. So not too bad. All the growth without the clipped fans is since transplant. Still not quite past 1/2 dosage feedings either last feeding yesterday was still in the 340-360ppm range.)

About two days later on around the 7day mark from root and transplant I topped to clone. Then the rest of the pics are leading up until yesterday. Only other thing is that the galaxy #1 was traded out for another vanilla kush because it just never took off from transplant.

Figured might as well update this since I did on the other site.

So appears something in the media mix was contaminated. Noticed a grey mass floating in a pool of run-off in the run-off tray. Then noticed some little things swimming around and skipping/jumping around. So had to turn the little innocent girls into coke fiends. Eh.... will just make them more sturdy.

Today before lights.
.



Before lights turning the girls into crack whores.


Then the last two afterwards once moved back into the spot.

Alright bro coming along nicely, very interested to see how the xgs will do in peak flower!

[HR][/HR] 3 days of flower down, starting the 4th day right now and just snapped some pics.So just IDK, a good 56-66 days left... LOL Looking good so far. Kinda crazy because I was worried about how dense they were at first but they are really branching and stretching with the reduced light period, which of course is to be expected. But so I'm impressed with over all growth rates, now just interested to see how the all white does for flower production. Got a couple little preflowers now that were not there before, so at least a good sign. Now the one that isn't so bushy or have the stalk bulking up as much is the youngest one that I replaced the one I tossed with, so it's only been in there since the day of 12/12 flip so that's why. It wasn't topped like the others and had no veg time period.


And for those interested. If you look at pictures one and two the plants from top left back corner to the right and down clockwise we have... Tangerine dream top left, Tangerine dream top center(was a much smaller cut to begin with that I topped as well but had 0 side branching at the time), Sour Diesel top right, vanilla kush bottom right, vanilla kush bottom center(this one is 4 days old from rooting and being thrown directly into 12/12), Galaxy #2(Just a pheno they liked).

And so we start day 7 of flower. Going along great so far. Definitely not disappointed at all. Re did the whole house in Crees now and got a couple extra 9.5W ones just encase it seems I need to boost some red later into flower.

Start of day 10.

 

[gk skunky]

Soooo.... No comments... No love? No haters? LMFAO Seriously though, I'm happy so far. Chug-a-lug- maw-fuckers. LOL

Day 12, bud sites already swelling, stretching has already stopped. Sweet thick, bushy, sticky, sweet smelling. No issues thus far.

It gets borring at times, I keep my journal up do date for myself really so I can refer back to it when needed. Sometimes I feel like I post really nice pics and no one comments so I think to myself really!!? purple, resin, WTF!? I tend to ignore or forget about a lot of people<s grows (what's up with your grow psuagro!??) I mostly use the forum to become a better grower, rather selfish ... like a lot of people around. Just keep doing your thing and when you get very good results it won't go un noticed.

Ahhh man I'm just messing around. I was just on another site earlier and a guy was bitching because he was getting no views and complaining about other growers getting views. LOL I just laughed. Was more-or-less a little inside joke for myself. Sure, I could still always learn a thing or two or refine, but for the most part I got my shit together. I really like helping new comers get their ducks in a row. But man I'm glad I found a couple of guys LED grows on here because that mad me more comfortable with making my purchase. So far... I'm happy.

Looking good homie, keep up the good work!

Ok I'm here for the show.

How do you like that ph perfect line?? Does it live up to the hype as far as ease of use? Grow looks healthy

So far I'd say it's the easiest I've ever used just because pH is no longer an issue what-so-ever. A good friends dad had been using the regular sensi 2 part with the grand master kit in tables. So his son and I wanted to see what it could do by itself using nothing but the base. Has been super easy to use. Even when I was first starting @ 1/4 strength the pH would still go to 5.8. Buffers out pretty fast. Right now I've just been going by the instructions feeding about 16mL/gal of both part A and B. I have a feeling though I will end up modifying the feed schedule a little to reduce part A and increase part B since no additives will be used to boost P and K and reduce N. Probably do that are week 4 or 5.

I've been a member here awhile and I've notice people will post I'm subed for this tread. I know what it means, but is there a way I can keep up with this grow without looking through all the other post? I would like to watch this one. Thanks

Thought I posted these here too, but guess not....

Yesterday right before lights on. Start of day 14. First pic #243 I think it is. Is from day 12 just showing the canopy is fairly even.

 

[gk skunky]

Start of day 16. Already got some decent trichs showing.

 

[Cococola36]

Looks great gk, from my understanding after being on the an website , you can't mix the sensi ph perfect with additives from other companies for the "ph to stay perfect" . Do you know if there is any truth to this??
