Alaskan Ice Bubbleponics 400W Grow

I've done 5 grows, in BUBBLEPONICS system bought from Stealth Hydro, that I started 12/12 at 5 weeks. My plants average 3 feet tall then. In 9 more weeks of 12/12 none got over 4 ft tall. I've never got more than a 25% growth in height in 12/12. In 12/12 I quit using GROW or VEG Nutes adn I started using FLOWER or BLOOM nutes and the nutes fed teh flowers but did not make the plant grow much much taller, they did grow a little taller..

nice job man. your looking good.
i have only shown 2 grow on RIU and one on another site. have a few more under my belt. i have done months of research before i gremed my first seed. i am by all means a beginner. so the advice i have for you would be much like dude said before:
take all the advice given to you as a opinion. none of it could possibly apply across the board to all people growing and all strains grown. you could not possibly recreate the identical condition as joe pot grower across the the country. hell my grow space condition change as the outside season change. the variables are so enourmouse that to try and copy excaly what someone else is doing would be impossiable. not to mention that in a ten pack of seeds you could have many different phenos within those seeds. that alone will effect the whole process.
my advice to you would be get a PH pen and a TDS or PPM meter. without these two tools you are sure to be frustrated. or atleast guessing and asking whats wrong all the time. with these tools you will know whats wrong. but you have to know how to use them, thats where the reading comes in. read in the FAQs here and every site you can find about PH and nutes.
as far as nutes go i use rockwool A & B from sunleaves. very simple. there is ton of shit out there. many of them are 2,3 ,4 part chemicals. seems like alot of pissing around with chemicals to me. more variables to the whole process. a 2 part system can hardly be fucked up, even by a new grower like myself.
as far as the increase in size from veg to bloom. there is no possiable way you can pridict that yours would do the same as mine. again to many variables. i dont remeber what you where useing. but in my first grow i used 1000 w HPS from start to finish. that alone will be all the difference in the world. see what i mean by variables. what if i had fucked up my ph and locked up all the nutes for a week. that alone would slow growth, what if my room temp is 90f and your is 75f. that would change every thing.
in closing i would suggest start small. and take notes of ever thing you do on a daily basis. dont go blow a bunch of money just yet. IE: expensive seeds, 1000w HPS. read and learn what the perfect condition of a grow room should be, and do your best at replicating those conditions. once you do this get a grow going with some bag seed to learn on. i cant tell you how many seeds i have destroyed in the year i have been growing. many of them expensive seeds from RIU/nirvina.
last thing i want to tell you is search RIU for grows like yours. see what they are doing. mimic success. go in these journals and ask questions. do your home work first, i found that there are many people here that will help you, especially if they can tell you did some research.
o yea check out the tutes here before you go out and spend any more money on the super duper bubbler from big name grow company. i made that same bubbler for about $20. made the power cloner for about $50. check out my grow to see them. the cloner is in the tutes. havent been to RUI for a long time. maybe i will have time to post my current grow soon.
again good start and keep the pics coming. we are all pic whores man!!!!!!!!!

looks good I am always looking for a good strain... will check back on your progress laterI am on my second hydro grow. Started them last time in the Stealth Hydro system and then moved them during flower into individual buckets. Had 2 strains - one was indica, the other skunk. Had several issues during veg that stunted growth/killed a few plants but still put the indica strain into flower at almost 5 weeks. They were smaller than yours at the time and tripled in size during bloom (about 4 feet each). The skunk grew to 6 feet after almost 6 weeks in veg. I used the cfl's during veg and almost all of bloom on the indica, last few weeks the 2 indicas got 1 400w HID. Between the 2, we yielded 7 oz. dry. I was thrilled given all the humongous mistakes we had made throughout the grow. However, with close to 8 weeks of 400w during bloom on the 2 skunks, we yielded 23 oz. dry. I'm not sure if I answered your question but I do use the exact same system and this was my experience.

23 oz or grams? 23 oz is amazing. How many plants total? Cause you got 7 oz from the 2 indicas and then ended up with 23 oz in all? How many skunks did you have to get that extra 16 oz?

PICS FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!! The biggest plant is about 21 inches tall and still growing. She's growing about an inch to 2 inches a day and drinking over a gallon of water a day. The other one that was the runt has sprung up and is keeping up with the largest one. The smallest one is kind of at a stand still. Looks very healthy and is ridiculously bushy and wont grow taller. Well enjoy the pics and leave me some info.
Enjoy

Ounces, not grams. 2 skunks. it was amazing. My friend works at a dispensary and he was amazed at the yield. Especially since it was our first grow and we screwed up SO much throughout the grow. The seeds were from a company online called dutchbreed that sells high yield hybrids.
