First True Grow (240w LED htgsupply 7 band, dwc, super silver haze) Make suggestions.

[smithmark914]

So the ppm has been between 1650 and 1700 for the last few days, and the ph has stayed between 6.0 and 6.5. I'm pretty happy how the rez has stayed so far this water change.

Next water change (probably tomorrow) I plan on using...

R/O Water ppm = 0,
enough cal mag plus to get to 100ppm
then enough floranova bloom to get to 1350ppm.




I also have my first successful clone! yay... it will either make a good mother plant, or maybe I will throw it in the rez once these finish up.

Happy New Year All!

Put the new water in two days ago, and the ppm seems to be holding steady as of now and the ph dropped to 4.5. added some ph up to get them to 6.5 as it will probably drop again.

My clone has gotten huge... a lot of branching going on.

Thank you very much... But I assure you... I have never completed a grow... This will be my first. I have only ever started them and got caught lol.

I did however spend years fantasising about what I could do in that closet if allowed... Then the gf gave me the green light...

 

[smithmark914]

I added 5 more 26w cfl's to the mix... temps are not going above 85*F

 

[Psytranceorgy]

what is the color temperature of CFLs you are using? I am assuming warm (2700K - 3000K)... Looking good! Adding light is a good move =D

They are 2700k. They ran all night and max temp is 84* but that won't be the case in the summer... But hopefully by then I will have moved.

Here is another update...

Just chuggin along now... ppm and ph stable. Plants seem to be liking the additional light..

Started two seeds for the next cycle... Caramel (something). and a bagseed. (These will likely be more indica... so im hoping for a faster flower)

The Caramel is feminized...

My plan for the next grow is to only get 2 or 3 plants... 6 got to crowded. I will use the clone from the bushiest SSH as well.

 

[smithmark914]

ppm seems to stay at 1520 and ph has stabalized to yellow (5.5 - 6.0).

Looking good smithmark! how many days flower are those shots? YUMMY =D

I switched them to 13 light 11 dark (13/11) on 11-5-11 - 68days
then switched them to 12/12 on 11-18-11 - 55days
started to show pre-flowers - 11-23-11 - 50days

so they were between 50 and 68 days flowering when that pic was taken. (depends on what you consider flowering days)

HOLY CRAP....

Just got pulled over for speeding.... Had a QP in a vac bag....

And I only got a warning. WOOT!

 

[Kybudz]

Getting a decent amount or red hairs...but all the trichs are clear...

 

[smithmark914]

The ph has stayed rock solid at 6.0 (yellow). But my ppm has dropped to 600... They must be eating up a storm in there....

Check the pics! The buds are really starting to plump up now. The trichs are still clear, but im thinking another 2.5 weeks to go..... I can't wait!

 

[Psytranceorgy]

Fantastic stuff smithmark! I am pumped for you!! I am also looking at another 3 weeks to go before harvest myself... exciting times!!! Your buds are looking awesome man, good job! all I can say about that speeding pullover is.... WHEW!

 

[lilrich11]

Your girls are looking very nice.
I'm really liking that led setup, cant wait til my babies get that big.
keep the pics going

 

[smithmark914]

They are just chuggin along still... PH is rock solid and am only adding water to the rez till i chop them.

Not much to say as far as growth. but i have seen a few red trich's...

The buds directly under the led's are rock solid to the touch, while the ones along the edges and under the canopy are airy.
