Learned a valuable lesson today. I have noticed my air pump making noises in the past but I just blew it off and said it would be fine. When I checked this morning I noticed something wasn't quite right with the setup. It was too quiet so I checked under the lid and saw no bubbles then I grabbed my air pump which wasn't working at all. So I took it apart and noticed it was slightly wet inside and damaged the pump. I have the pump sitting out to dry but I don't think it will help it any and I will have to buy another one soon but for now I have my two small fish aquarium air pumps hooked up temporarily. They will keep the plants alive but not give them as much DO as I would like to have. The lesson that was learned is that I will not have my air pump sitting lower than the plants again because it will cause water to back fill into the pump which will damage it. Yes this is obvious and I should have known better than to sit it lower but the pump vibrates and I had it sitting on the ground on a pillow to absorb the vibrations. I will figure out a new location for the new pump once I order a new one. Ugh! Lesson learned the hard way!

Thats a bummer Blu.....

When I bought my equipment from the grow store he made shure to tell me to mount air pumps above the buckets.....I m around 15" above my buckets....I allways learn the hard way...........nitro...

Hell yeah! I'd like to see the panhead and shovelhead if you have any pics you wanna share. Dragbikes would be fun and I bet it's a thrill and a half as long as you don't lay it over. Yea I usually learn things the hard way too but sometimes that's the best way to learn because you won't do it again.

You can't tell by the first picture but the El Monstre budz in the front are really stacking up and forming together nicely. Looks like just a bunch of leaves in the picture though.

Thanks I learn a little bit each grow and put that towards the next grow. You and me both can't wait til I POUND it out! I had hoped to this grow but I think I will fall a little short. Next round I plan to add another light maybe a 600 watt and build a new grow cab.

New air pump is ordered. I got the same one that I had which is a 60 watt 70 litre commercial grade active aqua air pump from eBay. I seen the same one on there the other day for $55 but it is gone so I paid $65 w/free shipping for this one and it has a 1 yr warranty. I can't wait to get it cuz these small aquarium pumps are killing me with their lack of bubbles.

The Extrema is not gonna bud up the way the El Monstre will but it smells like some fire ass bud and is very sticky to the touch! About 3 more weeks til I chop her down so i hope she packs on more weight. Either way I will be happy with this harvest. I have to get some new batteries for my camera then I'll get some lights out pics.

The ladies are coming along nicely! Fairly even canopy except for the monster El Monstre bud in the center.

Alot of you are probably against trimming fan leaves but if I didn't trim off as many as I have then I would have a canopy full of shades and would have alot of top heavy golfball style budz. The plants will revive from some trimming and will grow back thicker due to light penetration on your lower budz which will increase your yield.

Hey BLU....

This strain I am growing....has so many leaves I cut a little here and there through the whole grow or no light would get to the buds under the canopy...I don't cut alot all at once but I cut almost daily after they get going good...I have grown this strain without trimming much and I have found I am better off getting light into the lower buds.....

When I grew some WW and a WW mix...I didn't have to trim anything....they spread out and stretch for the light real nice....nitro
