Well the plants are doing great. This morning when i woke up and checked them they were all perky and reaching towards the light. At about 11:30 tonight they were all droopy and looked like they neede some rest. So i cut the light timer from 18/6 to 16/8. The next change i will make will be to 12/12. Hopefully they like the change. We'll see. pictures to come.

i snapped these pictures today. The plants are doing great. Im kinda wondering how many times i should start flooding now? Ive only been flooding once a day. Should i start flooding 2 or 3 times a day. They look like they are getting enough water but IDK. a little help folks.

Hey bro, sweet set up. They are coming along nicely. Healthy looking too. I think it's time to flip the light. These strains should'nt stretch too much on you.
I would flood 3 to 4 times a day for 15 min. ea.
Careful w/ the nutes or ph. Looks like a little clawing is going on?
Good Luck with this one. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Clawing? whats that? never mind. i think i know what your talking about. well the the nutes and ph have been kept under control. between 5.5 and 6.5 with a ec between 0.6 and 1.0. i was thinking that the clawing is because of overwatering.

in the poll one person seems to think ill only get 300-400 grams. just wondering who thinks that and why?

That would be me. No offense. It's been my experience w/ these "elite" purple's that smaller yields are the case. You'll get right around a pound. Nothin to sneeze at either. I can't seem to get over an elbow w/ sea of green style. I hope you score a lot more. Good Luck

I run 2-4x4 tables using hydroton on the table around the pots. I gotta see how the coco works out. I'm tired of dealing w/ hydroton. How much for 4x4 coco?
I like to run my hydro ph between 5.3 and 5.8. Do you use reverse osmosis water? How big is your rez? Chilled? How often do you change nutes / flush?
Going back to yield. I find the edges on the 4x4 tables miss a lot of light. You have to raise the light so high to pick up the edges I feel it's too far from tops. I'm in the same boat as you. Just my opinion and in no way criticising the sweet grow you have going on. Just my observations after completing more than a few indoor crops.
Keep up the awesome work.

None takin DH. Its been my experience too that they are really low yielding strains. I averaged about 5-6 grams per plant in my last SOG but that was in soil and without CO2 and with 2 days of veg. So i figured this time since the CO2 and hydro and veg time and near perfect growing environment they would aver 9-10 grams per plant. I hope so anyway.....

Ebb and flow is the pimp way of doing it
Looks good man
Too bad you didnt start from clone! None the less excited to see the end product!

I use tap water. Res is 38 gallon. Not chilled. I think ill change the water once a week. In my last sog the edges did suffer because of the light but my hood was much smaller. So now im using the Sunsystem Magnum XXXL reflector. Its BIG. the dimensions are 36 1/2 long by 26 1/4 wide. It covers alot more area. and ive been keeping my ph between 5.5 and 6.1.

$35 bucks for a coco mat. i think its a little over a inch thick.

Very nice setup. Ebb flow is a very easy way to grow with healthy results but the problem is spacing. Its hard to maintain that many plants with larger yields and still get air flow and light in throughout the plants. It is a great method for getting lower yeilds at quality. All in all a professional set up hope you the best on the yield.

I got a question for you? what would you say has helped you the most in setting up your first ebb flow grow? as far as how to do it professionally.

really what has helped me the most is the internet and this website. without those 2 things i would've been lost. al b's threads have helped me the most. i think almost all of the questions i had were answered on his threads....

I switched to flower today. All the ladies are looking very healthy and are growing quite well. I also changed my res. I will take some pictures tomorrow.
