Bubbleponic Nirvana Bubblicious First Grow

[ThaConspiracy]

Lookin pretty sweet man I'll definately be following your grow on here. My bubbleponics grow is seeing great results as well thusfar. I was j/w, but have you or are you planning on trimming them up a bit?

Thanks Mineralz.. I actually haven't trimmed the plants yet. I read that's its not good to take any leaves off unless they are dead. I'm still debating though cause it would provide more light to the lower flowers.. but considering this my first grow I might just leave em alone. I'm bout to check out ur grow.

how many times have y'all dropped the ph tester in the reservoir? i think this time make 6.. hopefully it have at least 9 lives

 

[ThaConspiracy]

lookin good conspiracy!

Thanks Wizzle.. I'm surprise i was able to save the one plant that main stem was damn near split in half... Scotch tape and strings now stay with my growing utensils

 

[pwizzle]

yeah it's amazing the things these plants will bounce back from.
they really are weeds

Day 24 of 12/12

I'm starting to feel like i may be doing something wrong. I've looked at a lot of people grow journal and they seem to have way more pistils or even started to get some bud forming by this time. Or maybe i'm just being a lil impatient. Somebody give me some good news and tell me that the buds don't really swell up until the last 2-3 weeks of flowering.

 

[reckoning]

looks good to me, man. Keep it up!

Nah man, you're just in the beginning of flowering phase. They are still very young so to speak.
Yes, the last couple weeks will add a lot more weight. They are lookin good for day 24, just give it some time. You'll have some nice buds

Bubblelicious is a 8-10 week photo period flower child.... You look like you still have 6-7 weeks to go..... keep on loving on them and start your next crop if you haven't already. You'll want to move something into the tent right after you harvest and keep it going.

So technically tomorrow will be the end of 4 weeks on 12/12.. but i been doing some reading and it seem like its a differences between starting 12/12 and actually flowering. I been using the advanced nutrient calculator and i put it down as 9 weeks cause i was under the impression that once u turn to 12/12 that automatically means its flowering. and thats why it seem like its not growing as fast as i thought it should. Now i remember u saying u grew bubblelicious and you seem to really know what you are talking about so should i just disregard the calculator timeline and just assume i still have 6-7 more weeks left? I already know i have to watch the trichs colors to know when to harvest.

I wish i could have some other plants starting to veg during this time i even already have some seeds but i don't have the space to give them the best growing environment right now but I'm working on having a separate veg and flowering room.

Supz Conspiracy I'm also working on revamping a whole room out. My 1st grow is going so well that I doubt I'm gonna wanna stop doing it lulz. I read that flowering kinda plays mind tricks on you. I guess the last few weeks are a real sight to see! I'm sure you'll be thrilled. Happy growing mane!

Sup Mineralz, Yea you definitely going to to want to keep growing after you start. Me and the wifey been talking and we planning on moving to a bigger house so i can have my own room just for growing or maybe just use part of the basement. If i had 2 tents it would be on and popping right now but its all good.. You gotta crawl before you can walk.

A lil update with pictures.

I switched the time back maybe 2 or 3 days ago my plants are now getting 11 hrs of light and 13 hours of darkness.. (i know i might get some bad feedback from some people for doing this but i'm willing to give it a try after seeing the results from another grower.. Shout out to SkunkMunkie) I never replaced the blown hps bulb so they are still flowering under 1 400w hps and 1 400w mh bulb. My next grow going to be strictly hps for flowering though. I figured i would just finish this grow with the dual lights so i can actually see the difference from using both and just str8 hps.

Daytime temps: 78-82 degrees

Nighttime temps: 62-68 degrees

Humidity: staying between 35-45

PPM: Last week it shot up to 1400 but didn't cause any nute burn but i still dropped it down to 1100 for this week.

PH: 5.6 let it drift up to as much as 6.2 before dropping it back down to 5.6

Water Temp: never got a tester but just on the safe side i always add a bottle of frozen water after the lights been on for 5-6 hours and the water is always cool to the touch so i'm not really too worried about that.

I decided to stop expecting the plants to finish based on the timeline i set for them and just continue to feed and show them love and they will finish whenever they do. it could be 4 weeks from now or 6 weeks.. it don't matter to me anymore as long as they are happy.

yes, 'show them love, and they will finish whenever they do' -exactly

don't cut them early, i know it's hard to wait, especially when you just wanna smoke em (like how mine are now) but i'm still lettin them go another week and a half or so.. so ya, whether it takes 9 weeks or 12 weeks, lol, worth the wait!!

Nice looking grow, just one question though. Isnt it kind of a waste of money to use voodoo juice while using h2o2? I also use Voodoo juice in mine since im running the AN line of fertilizers also. I was talking it over with a couple of guys at a hydro store and they said if Im going to run h2o2 then not to waste my money on the Voodoo juice since the h2o2 is going to kill the benificial bacteria you are trying to introduce, I may be wrong... anyone else have any input on this. +rep anyways looks real nice.

Yea the way i see it i already waited this long so why rush it?.. But i swear i hate buying weed when i have these girls flowering but what can i do i need my medicine. Lol i'm not ashame to admit that i never brought another hps bulb or water thermometer cause i spent the money on weed.
