Nice job bro! I bet your girls will be happy in there!!

Tom, I see a wire coming from your scrubber and was wondering if there's a fan built into it? Where did you get the scrubber? Link please!

I like how you enclosed the fan blowing air in from the bottom. Nice!!

Dude I had the same feeling. When mine went to that phase where your seeing something but wtf is it? I swear it's a ball, ahh!! It took mine a full 16 days before it was definate. 2 males and 3 females. Males showed 3 days before the females. So after 2 males showed and no girls I was in panic. But then...one after another 3 beautifull girls.

February 1st

Isolated one plant that looks to be a male, others seem late bloomers and smaller and look to be girls so far

Stopping the growth of the male is painful after the time I put in to him. (going to use the male leaves in a alcohol hash, the leave are about ready 2/6/09.)

2 Caps FM bloom, A.N. Carbo 1 cap, Hydrogen peroxide cap for foam, pH 5.7 PPM 450

New today FloraBloom FloraMicro cap full

February 7th WEEK 8;

I see this to take at lest 2 more weeks with my early 12/12 by 2 week I think

I now know to grow to a certain height over weeks of growth and try to understand where that strain will end up in height above the lights safety with the limit of height inside the tent.

February 11th Soup was hot today PPM was 2100 PPM Ph was 6.3 Thinned out the mix and got it back down to 1000 PPM and Ph 5.6
February 12th ppm 1125 PH 5.7
February 13th ppm 1125 PH 5.7
February 14th ppm 1200 PH 5.7 day 63
February 15th ppm 1200 PH 5.7 day 64, 29th day of flowering
February 16th ppm 1200 PH 5.7 day 65, 30th day of flowering
February 17th ppm 1125 PH 5.6 day 66, 31th day of flowering FLUSH SYSTEM TODAY
Changed out the 5 gal buckets to 3 gal, saved 5" in height for taller strains.
Looks to be a good move with less nutes used and more air bubbles concentration for the plants.
