pretty sure it's his nutrient regiment that turns the roots that colour if I am not mistaken.Is that rot on the roots the brown mush?

Yea i should hav read a bit more to wat that was but thanks none tha lesspretty sure it's his nutrient regiment that turns the roots that colour if I am not mistaken.
NICE! an saweeeeeeeeeeeeet!The height of a plant is the factor of many things.
1) Time - let any plant veg long enough and it will get big.
2) Plant Strain - some types of plants grows ultra fast, some strains take forever to grow big.
3) Conditions - light, nutrients and air all play a huge amount in how large your plants will get.
By State law I have to keep all my clones and veg plants under 12" wide and high.
This actually works out well. If I take the plants into flower any higher than 12" they will end up so tall that none of the light will reach the lower buds.
Here is a shot from this morning to wet your wistle...
Over there in CA what does your tap come out in terms of PPM an PH?Have you ever smoked pot that has that smelled like freshly mowed lawn clippings and had a burning after taste? Did it snap, crackle and pop like a bowl of Rice Crispies?
You just smoked pot that wasn't flushed properly.
Flushing is one of the most important aspects of my grow. Some will argue that it is not needed. Don't listen to them! Trust me on this, flushing really helps improve the smell and flavor of your bud.
I start my flush 2 weeks before harvest. I drain the rez and fill it with tap water.
I let the pump run constantly for about an hour to wash out any nutes hanging around.
Then I drain the rez and refill it. I add 150ml of Clearex and let the pump run normally for 24hrs.
After one day I drain the water/clearex and run just straight water for the next two weeks.
I always keep my PH at 5.8
I check the rez every couple of days. If I see the PPM climb more than 50 PPM I'll do another rez change
Your plants will start to turn colors during the flush. This is good. It means that the plant is using up all the available nutrients.
I've seen purple, red, yellow and blue during the flush.
At the end of 2 weeks your plants should be ready for harvest.
In Oregon and Washington tap water come out under 200 PPM. In CA it was 900 PPM. PH around here is about 7.0Over there in CA what does your tap come out in terms of PPM an PH?
Retired RN headed back to Alaska to grow strains useful in treating seizures in pediatric patients. Finding no backers but WTF, right? Working on the legislative efforts to establish the regulations as we speak. I admire your mission.I have a medical marijuana card and I am also a provider for several cancer patients. I lost my father and aunt to cancer. My mother has also lost a breast to cancer. I'm on a mission!
If a patient needs medicine and it takes 12 weeks before their first harvest, what do they do in the mean time? That's where I come in...
I can have 6 mature plant and 18 plants under 12" per patient. I can also have 1.5lbs. of dried material per patient.
This is the main reason I always keep my veg plants under 12" high.
It's my destiny to help others and I do what whatever it takes...
@letdown shifty Thanks for the welcome back, crazy to see that this thread remains on the top of this sub after so many years! Happy holiday weekend to you and all Stinkbuddies as well!@GringoLoco welcome back. Look forward to having input from another experienced grower whenever I may have questions.
@ Everyone hope you're having a good holiday weekend.

I do an lb every 6 weeks or so it seems in a 4x4 600w tent. I have two tents 600w each and do my initial cloning in a bubble cloner , After harvest the clones veg for 2 weeks then flip the bulb to do a 60 day flower.I alternate sides to harvest every 6 weeks a new crop goes in. I grow indica dominant hybrids. Does my yield sound about right? Been growing for about 2 years now.After 3 weeks the best 14 plants move to the veg system.
I use a dual container aeroponic system. The roots grow straight down which makes the plants easy to transfer to the flower room when the time comes.
The plants are under a 250W MH light set to 18/6.
Again, all my systems are on the same timer set to 1 minute on and 5 minutes off. This gives the roots the maximum amount of Oxygen without letting them dry out.
I run this nutrient formula for vegetative growth:
Botanicare Nutrients:
126ML Cal-Mag Plus
180ML Liquid Karma
540ML Pure Bend Pro Vegetative Formula
I start at 1500 PPM and bring it up to 2000 PPM by the second week of veg. I change the nutrients every 3 weeks with each new crop.
I adjust my PH to 5.8
Stay tuned for more...
Nice. with just 2x600's yeah that's good since you say you are getting a pound under a 600 water. Are you flowering with stinkbud units and how many sites or plants under each light?I do an lb every 6 weeks or so it seems in a 4x4 600w tent.

Correction last time I did 4 and vegged for 3 weeks not 2. It fills the 4x4 area. this time I am trying 12 @ no more then two weeks. I am not sure what to expect. I did a SCROG with the 4 but think I will just top and LST where i need to with the 12. I attached a pic of how I am cramming them in there. what do you think? If need be I have a harvest coming out on the other side in about 2-3 weeks so I will be able to throw half of them in there and just put both side of the tent in flower at the same time if u think 12 is too much. Oh the 3 in the back are going to serve as mothers and will be removed before flowering in case you were wondering.Nice. with just 2x600's yeah that's good since you say you are getting a pound under a 600 water.

Funny because I'm experimenting with doing 12 under a 600. I'm on day 8 of veg. I'll probably veg for 14-18 days and then put into flower. But what's up with the wood in your tent?Correction last time I did 4 and vegged for 3 weeks not 2. It fills the 4x4 area. this time I am trying 12 @ no more then two weeks.
