Day 18 (12/12) Day 52 (Total)

I still can't believe how fast she's growing. I never saw growth this explosive when I was working with soil. She's still drinking about a gallon a day, but EC was starting to run up on me. It was at 2.7 (1350 ppm) when I checked her at lights on. This was up from an EC 2.4 (1200 ppm) the previous day. I just added about 1.25 gallons at 1.8 EC (900 ppm) to bring her down. I'll check the rez again in an hour or so and see if I should dilute her a little more.

Took some of Scotty's advice and pruned all of the smaller branches under the screen that just weren't going to make it. Otherwise, I'm going to leave the lower fan leaves until they start to die off.

Can't wait to see what she does in the next 30-40 days. Oh, and I promise to work on figuring out a decent setting for my camera. Maybe.

Awesome Kriz - you're killing it!! (in a good way..lol) Keep it up - you can look forward to some great buds as these start to really fill-in - very impressive!! :leaf:

What kind of PPM meter are you using? Do you know the conversion rate to EC? I keep mine around 2.0-2.2. I personally leveled out @ 1100, with no rise @ all. They are consuming 200ish and 3 gallons a day. My advice...Flush more often, and back off till your PPM stabilizes. Other than that your plants look amazing, can't wait to try scrog.

She's drinking so much that it's basically a fully refreshed reservoir every other day. That said, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to run a couple gallons of filtered water, without nutes, through the system before draining and refilling with some 1.8 (900 ppm) solution. I know that I'm being a little aggressive by going for that 2.2 (1100 ppm,) and I've heard that Pineapple Express can be sensitive to the nutes. Considering that light is most certainly the limiting factor (and not nutes,) I'll dial it back to 1.8 (900 ppm) after a rinse through tonight.

EC to PPM, multiply by 1,000, then divide by 2. EC 2.1 x 1,000 = 2,100. 2,100/2 = 1050 (PPM)

Oh and I know it was probably a typo, but that's just one plant in there, ha!

Thanks man! Very happy with how things are going. Can't wait to see this girl fatten up over the next 35-40 days!

Best advice I can give you with the camera is to put the white balance on tungsten and get a few ND filters.

Ha, you've already given me this advice, stoner. My DSLR has no tungsten setting for white balance, but there must be a proper setting I can use. Just haven't figured it out yet. I'll look into the ND filters. Or maybe I'll just suck it up and take my pics right before lights on or right after lights off.

Looks awesome Kriz! How do you like your Jardin? Do you think a DR120 II with a 600 MH/HPS set-up would be overkill for just one plant if I was utilizing a water-farm for the grow scrogging it? I like your set-up alot, just wondering if I could go a little bigger in the veg. and have a little more headroom as well if I got a DR120II with a 600. But wasn't sure if that might be overkill for just one plant.

Hey snap, you could def run a single plant in a 120 under a 600 and just veg a little longer. I would certainly recommend some early LST if you were going that route. That said, you could easily run two plants in a space like that and it would seriously cut down on your grow time. The second waterfarm isn't a huge expense and if you're getting a beefier pump, you can probably run both off of the same airpump. Check out Dayzt's current grow for sure. He's got two plants in waterfarms under a 600, I think. I'm just now realizing he may be putting each plant under its own light at some point... ha, baked.
