My PPM is at 1000 right now. I was following the FF feeding schedule and it had me running the PPM at 1360 and I noticed the claw so I dropped it down to 900 and didn't see a difference so I just stuck with that for a while now I'm up to 1000. It is only the three taller plants that are really curling, the three smaller are just fine so I am trying to find a happy middle ground. I don't think the claw will go away even if I drop it to 400PPM but I may be wrong.

I use FF for my soiless and get the PPM's are under 1000. Almost 900 at the highest strength. I find sometimes there is always 1 sensative bitch in the bunch.



So far so good, I'm about a month away from getting my StinkBud setup filled up.

Your Grapefruit Kush looks a lot different than my Grapefruit Kush. Here is a picture I shoot last night just before the light came on. This is day 38 for the plant in soil. The 2nd picture is my White widow that went into flower the same day, this is in the aeroponics.All my aero plants are doing well also. I will start a journal of my own soon.Just thought the comparison of the two plants that are supposed to be the same strain would be nice, I don't think we are growing the same strain though, one of us does not have Grapefruit Kush.It will be interesting to me to see the difference between my plant in soil and the clones from her that are going to flower soon in aeroponics.

I'm not sure which seed bank this plant is from. It is from seed, someone else grow it, cloned it , flowered the clones and then sold it to me and I did not pay enough attention to know what seed company he got the seeds from. I am very happy with her so far regardless.

Hey everyone sorry for the non activity but the wife and I just had our second baby, it's another boy!
Well things are still going good not much new to report. It seems like the buds are developing slowly I think I have another 4 weeks or so. I added a support at the top of the tent to bring the light up more and I will continue to use it for the rest of my grows, the light physically can't go any higher. Here are some pics from today. PPM's are between 900 and 1200, pH 5.7-6.1, temps 65-85, %rH 33-48.

Congrats on the new baby boy bro. Roots are looking fucking awsome. I just bought some 5" by 8' fence posts at the Depot for 22 a piece. The caps ran 1.25. A little upgrade to my stinkbud system.

So far so good I made a mistake before I am pretty sure I only have two weeks at the most,most of my trichs are milky white with a little clear. They seem to be putting on more weight now. The three smaller plants will pretty much just be used for hash because they dont get any light because of the bigger ones the buds are very tiny. I hope to get at least three ounces. This run was experimental next time I know to do some things different. Here are some pics!

Your plants are looking just fine for your first aero grow. I've been doing the system for some time now and it can't be beat. I just added the C02 generator and a contoller, pumped up the buds like no other. If you can afford a C02 tank in the future, do it. Congrats on the new kid.

How do my trichs look I was planning on harvesting next weekend. They have been flowering for 8.5 weeks, according to the internet grapefruit kush flowering time is 7-8 weeks. Here is a picture of the trichs.

Ok here are the totals wet equals 1027g, 36oz, or 2.2Lbs so by my calculations that should be approximatly 9oz dry!!!!!! Holy shit I can't believe it I thought it was going to be more like 4 oz. Here are some pics taken from one of the trimmers new camera. I was thinking of sending a pic or two into high times for pix of the crop.

God I am soo glad that it's over it has been driving me crazy. We started trimming at 930AM and were done at 4PM with 4 people. I was way off on my calculations. I will be starting a new grow in the next week or two I need to find some suitable clones

Looks great, I harvested my Grapefruit Kush 2 weeks ago. That one plant in soil produced 89 grams dry, just over 3 oz.s. All the buds turned out great, top to bottom.I have 4 in aeroponics that will be ready in 2-3 weeks.

dduuddeee u need some hydrotron in those net cups thats gonna kill ur plants when the weight of the buds push down on the roots and they wont be able to support it... number two u need some bulkhead fittings for ur drains so u can raise and lower ur water younger plants =higher water oler plants= lower water.u need to figure how to fix this
