Hey guys, just a little update for ya. I had one clone die overnight, so I pulled it and replaced it with a new one. I also decided to take another cutting and put it in rockwool and have that in there too. So, now I have 3 Snow White clones in the bubbler, 1 Snow White clone in rockwool, and 1 Clone from the bagseed I'm flowering now. I am getting more confident with all of it and I should have some good results soon. Hopefully the one flower cutting in the rockwool will show some roots soon. She had a little too much moisture and got a little bogged down today, so I'm trying to dry her out a bit.
The Flowering girls look great. Starting to see some more of the hairs draw back and color, but still have a while to go. No huge noticeable growth, but definitely still growth. The sharp lemon scent is becoming more and more apparent by the day, I hope this has a nice citrusy taste to it! I have been tossing 1 fluid ounce of the Bloom nute in there every other day, which bumps the ppm from about 1000 to around 1200. I have been doing that about every other day, and I see a tiny tiny bit of downward curl from a few leaves, so I am going to let them chill for a bit longer before trying to push again. I am too nervous to pump up to like 1200 or 1300 and keep it there not to mention I'm not positive how to maintain such levels.
I have also realized that Big Momma needs some loving. She likes her box, and fills it in nicely. She also doesn't grow any taller and likes her distance from the reflector hood. The top is lush and bushy as hell, but the bottom is getting very sparse and shitty. I really need to get some type of side lighting in that box at some point. As of now I can't afford it, so it won't be any time too soon, but it will need to be done at some point. I'm thinking probably what someone suggested months ago to me. Probably get two 2' t5 6500k fluorescents and have them in the back right and back left corners lighting from the bottom of the plant up. I would do all 4 corners, but this way I save money and I also already rotate my plant every day. As long as I keep rotating this shouldn't be a problem at all. Again, I have no idea when this will happen, but it should happen at some point. Do any of you guys know a low price good fluorescent setup that will work here? I have done readings on HID, HPS, T5 etc, but I always get overwhelmed and confused when it comes to ballasts and such. I am looking for a small skinny 2' fluoro tube on the fixture that has the ballast or whatever on it. If any of you guys have any ideas, just let me know.
Have a lot of shit coming up for classes in the next month. Finishing out semesters blows. Hopefully I will still have enough time to keep up with the ladies and keep you guys updated.
