Ok. So im fairly new at the growing thing but i do know my weed lol. Ive been experimenting with all sorts of techniques im in a trial and error phase before i do anything big. So by all means feel free to post and critisize. Im a huge fan of constructive critisism. So to start it off i got a kush clone about 3 months ago started it off in a fogponics single bucket system on a free three pack of nutes liquid karma and some two part base formula. Like i said trial and error process ive heard good thing of master a and b from humbult so i switched them out and added hygrozyme and sweet. Had great results so im now a huge fan of master a and b. So far. i then down the road added Bud Candy as ive heard good as well. Seems to work great a little thick but disolves fine in water. I been using a 150 watt hps light as well with two cfls for side lighting. my grow journals pretty late but im gona continue the cycle to see how i do before i go big. I then bought and aero pump with sprayers pulled out the fogponics disc a month after start and put the aero pump w/ sprayers in and an airpump and airstone. So that was plant one. I bought two more kush clones down the road and to aero bucket system for them and put them in there as well on i topped pretty late the other i didnt. Just to see what im going to prefer. ive been giving them the same nutes. However i seem to experience ph problems when they start to flower? Any Ideas? im clueless. First i noticed really dark leaves on the original plant from the extra N i added that i forgot to mention thought i had the nitrogen claw but i discontinued the N and the second two plant i just put into flowering seem to be bright green with the claw and PH issues as well. Clueless. lol. so i harvested the first plant about a week ago its in a jar now curing but looks and smells amazing. Original weight was 31 grams for my first harvest ever. Now its around 20 grams. Ive heard a half ounce is decent for a first grow especially since i f*cked up and had to much N as well as flowered it at 7 inches tall to see what would happen. I also took two clones from the secont two Kushs and put them in a humidity dome with heat mat and a t5 florescent light 2 foot single above it. They were took off flowering plants and rooted in less then a week. I clipped them and used clonex gel. I also used rockwool cubes dipped in a water/clonex nut formula solution. Then Placed them into the heating dome. Now that theyve rooted last night i put one into a bubbleponics/fogponics single bucket and the second in a aero bucket. I use hydroton as a medium and try to keep my ph between 6.0 and 6.5. Id try to be more accurate but my digital ph meter has been in the mail for three weeks and im still waiting so using liquid drops. I also took two clones again that are in the humidity dome now. i took the cfls and put them over the clones i transplanted and realized i needed side lighting for the flowering kushs. Soooo i bought two, two foot t5 lights and palced one in the front one in the back. So thats the history so far. So currently i have 2 starting to flower under 150w hpswith ntwo t5's, two fresh clones vegging under 2 cfls, and two clones in a humidity dome under one t5. the two in the closet are in aero buckets. two vegging one fogger w/ bubbler and other with aero sprayer and pump. So ill post pics of the original plant and show you where i started and continue to where i am today. Also ive ordered some brainstorm fem seeds as well as ak-48 seeds. So those have been in the mail three weeks as well and will be in here so keep your eyes open. Lol. Oh an few other things im going to do would be the lucas formula next as well as getting a 36 site aerfloe2 and putting it under a 1000w hps and 600w mh so im gona try a few things and live and learn and then get buds. =D

looking good...is that the bud candy that's helping you...
what's your secret? i want to start up a new grow soon, but the last one sucked and i'm ready to start something new...
Well the first thing id have to say is it was my first time so nothing really helpful since ive only used bud candy and havent done one without it. But one thing i can say helped is side lighting. The canopy makes the top bud the largest but my top actually wasnt my largest i strongly beleive the side lights did it. Also couldve been the sweet helping ill kno at the end of this grow cuz im not using sweet just bud candy but bud candy is only used the first six weeks of flowering not veg so im using sweet during veg this time so watch n see lol
ok sorry its been awhile figured id update you when i got on my laptop not my cell. So the two big ones are fluffing up quite nicely. still same nutes only thing different is im using 3 t5 24 watt fls and a 54 wat cfl for side lighting. also the two clones from the pot are doing good getting big. although i seem to be getting single leafs and the one blade is really fat? no clue. maybe its because it was from a flowering plant. i always hear how hard flowering plants take, which is funny to me because i clone them flowering and theyve rooted within a week and show new growth in about ten days total. so i took the two small ones that were in the humidity dome and put them into buckets with airssstones. also i put them under a 8 tube t5 fixture each bulb is 54 watts i beleive. so all four veggers are under there until my hps gets some free space hopefully within the month. but they are all still bubba kush plants. i have some pics. also i took out the fogger and 3 out of 4 under the fls are just airstones the 4th is and aero pump w sprayers. and does anyone kno why i may have the single bladed leaves? and how many plants can u fit under the 8 tube t5 lamp? also would it be better for flowering then my 150 watt hps with the 3 t5 24 watts and 54 watt cfl? just curious. i know its the wrong spectrum but man does it have some power for 75 bucks. all nutes are still the same as well.

All my local stores want 250$ for ballast bulb hood and cords for a 250 watt. And 300 for 1000 watt so next month im moving and buying a aeroflo2 36 site and a 1000 watt switchable for 1000 flat might get two. But im gona use the 8 tube t5 for sidelighting and my 6 bucket system for mothers under the 150 watt
