Things are looking fatter/phatter. :) They have been on Overdrive for almost a week and they really have got a second wind in flowering so-to-speak. On Monday I will start adding gravity to the feeding schedule for a few weeks... We will see where that takes us and then I will make the decision to flush or continue. I will be using a flushing agent this time around too. Final Phase from A.N. I have heard good things about using a flushing agent so I look forward to this part. Normally I just flush with water only the last week.

I will try to get some more pics up soon. Might be Monday (which marks the start of wk 7)

Update. Couple weeks left. The sour berry is smelling good, so is the god bud. The sb is very sativa growth pattern wise. Ive got a week or so with OverDrive and Gravity and then it is Final Phase for a week. All is lookin good though I think. :):bigjoint::bigjoint::bigjoint::bigjoint:

I use Bat Quano and Worm Castings from Blue Mountain Organics. I also Use thier super plant tonic. I use about 1/2 Tbl spoon of each and about 20ml of SPT. Plus any other additives. I stop adding the quano and castings after the first 4 weeks of flower though and then just do the spt and other additives once a week. Some things I have to dose at the end by hand. Like the snow storm ultra and the gravity but that is only because they do not do well in an aerated rez. I am kind of changing things up as I am starting to use Advanced Nutrients as well. I generally start out pretty light (1/3 to 1/2 strength). I have noticed using sensizyme that it is easier to burn the plants with less nutrients. Sensizyme is supposed to break the organics down into usable food for the plants and so far it seems to do a great job... Almost too great...LOL I burnt them while I was gone because the zyme was in the rez progressively making my mix hotter. LIve and learn...

how long do you bubble you tea?
oh and the gravity, how does that work for you?
i'm still not clear what its purpose is, although i'm looking into it.

If i bubble them at all it is short.. maybe 10 minutes. No negative results yet. The spt introduces a LOT of beneficial bacteria. The nutrient and the sensizyme feed them and they feed the plant. If you use any zyme product I would go really lite on the nutrients.

Gravity is a bud hardener/finisher. It basically adds density to the buds. They expolode when given gravity correctly. Use 1ml per gal to start with and use VERY lite (1/4 strngth or less) of nutes when feeding. It is a good idea to leach the soil (flush) before giving the gravity. It causes a massive uptake of nutrients and can potentially burn the hell out of your plants if not used carefully. Used correctly the results are great. I have a combination of products currently but I do still like the gravity. A small bottle lasts a long ass time too.

BTW Shack those pics above were prior to being dosed with gravity. I have been using Overdrive for the last week though. Last night was the first round with the gravity. Things really pick up speed towards finish once you start the gravity.

*** I would also NOT use gravity if you every want to revegg a plant. :)

BTW... Here is a short comparison from start of this round till right now:

Just rooted clones:

Then vegging in the hps cab:

Two weeks vegging in the cab:

Week one of flower:


After about 2.5 weeks of flowering:


Week #5:


Right now at about 7 weeks I think:



Pretty cool eh? :bigjoint::lol::bigjoint: I cant wait to do the vert scrog in this cabinet. Gonna be a ton-o-fun.

hey what is your overall height, from the floor to the highest point in the parabolic?
that is a pimp setup.

edit-
and are those hempy buckets on a drip system?
hate to ask silly shit, but i just found your thread, lol

CAnt measure right now but I think it is about 4'.. abouts...lol.

Those are hempy (I use perlite only). They are on an auto-feed drip system so I don't have to hand feed.

...and welcome aboard! :):bigjoint:

oh ill be following ya closely.... i have an almost identical space, a tad bit wider, and i just cant seem to make up my mind, sog or scrog...lol sub'd :)
im going dual 400w tho, a completely different setup on the lighting then what you got. i really want to maximize my overhead space, so instead of using valuable space to run cooltubes, I came up with a way to vent/exhaust (using the cooltube principle) some high bay fixtures and am going to have them outside the grow area, so that the bottom of the reflectors are flush with the finished ceiling... (like a 400w recessed can light :D ) im building it now, and when i get it up and running ill start my own journal.

but till then ill lurk on yours

Now Thats what I am talking about!

Dude,
I was trying to get my buds to grow up like that but I never got the height on the outside. Maybe I should have vegged for one more week. I dont know about using gravity at this point. Isnt that to stunt them a bit by shorting the internode spacing durring the stretch? Great Grow man.

I use it the last two weeks before flush. It does help. I have been using the OD and Gravity together and results are good.

I think vegging up the walls a bit is a good idea in this setup, but I think a vertical setup will be even better. Only a few more weeks! My other ones are already ready to get in the hps cab. :)
