Thanx Jig!
If I get the other 5 to root that would only be the top 8 of 20 strains I had lol. Too many strains anyway I guess. I just dont have the room.

It is a better situation, closer to my job. Saves me time and gas $$. Just impatient I suppose. Then again I've waited 3 months, whats another 2. Hah. Cannabis Cup will have some serious smoke. Lucky you man. Do do do, this is a public service announcement, adding while high may result in incorrect sums. Hahah. Ay bruh, we've all been there. It sounds like you have more than enough light for the area anyhow (based on my limited knowledge of course).
Best of luck on the other five dude. 8 strains sounds nice, maybe a little complicated at times. Are they all strains you've run before?
Smooth outtttt.

I had the 400mh too far from the plants and there was no new growth and the plants looked bad until I lowered the light; then they started growing again. I replaced it with a 6 bulb 4' T-5....has a better footprint and is cooler, which allows it to get closer...and the plants love it.
I bet that your plants will take off now that they have good light.

@ bassman 8 sounds pretty ridiculous already bru.... 20 would be enough to make me stop growing. I think I ran 5 strains one time and that was about 3 too many. I like growing 2 or 3 strains at a time.
@ smooth Glad you got moved to a better location. The biggest thing is the TIME. $ comes and $ goes. The only true limited resource we have is our time. I think it's one of the trajedies of the modern world, that people spend hours a day, alone, just going from place to place (ie home to work) everyday. Shit ain't right. If you spend 2 hours a day in traffic... after a 30 year career you will have spent 2 years in the car, listening to the radio or whatever. Blah.
Appreciate the public service announcement as well.
@ cof. I think you are exactly right. They are looking more perky after adding the extra light. Just swimming in goodness.

Funny thing about Jimmy Eat World. I loved this album so so much. Still do. Anyways, this came out in what 2002? Whatever, it's a bit old. Fast forward years later... me and wife are talking about music and such. She mentions 'Emo'. I proceed to tell her how I HATE HATE HATE Emo music. We talk about it for a little while. Then she looks up Emo on wikipedia. The article basically says that this album is about one of the most important albums in the Emo movement. Lol, and that jimmy eat world is one of the major bands of the scene. The other band they mention a lot is one of my top 3 favorites of all time.
So much for me knowing what I'm talking about.

I like music for the 'music' the sounds and feelings. Not so much the words. Case in point, this song I really liked for a long time. Heart it who knows how many times. I always thought it was a happy song. They say wonderful all the time, and the music sounds upbeat. If you spoke another language you would think it was a love song or something.
Anyways, if one actually listens to what he's saying, it's quite sad. Ah well. It still makes me happy. lol

His nickname is Siva, I always thought it was Shiva. Sounds the same the way they say it.
Took some pictures, but they turned out a bit crap with the big HPS in there.

Roots taking off now Jig, what do you think the problem may have been?

Light getting in the root zone. Ph too high in the water. Rockwool too wet to begin with. Water too hot. Not enough light for the plants. Not starting a new journal for them.
That's all I can think of at the moment. I fixed each problem and about that time is when the roots took off. Can't tell if it was one thing in particular or all of it together. When you treat your plants like you don't really care, they sure you treat you accordingly.
Oh, one more piece to the puzzle. The guy I got these from says he was having the same issues with them rooting well for him. I doubt it's genetics (as we've been running these strains for a while with no issues) but could be something in the way he's cloning them? I don't know... it's a head scratcher.

Lol, That sounded like a post to start a thread in the newbie forum. I still consider myself a newb, i couldn't even germ seeds consistently until recently. How tall will they veg until they get scrogged?

Haha, it does sound like a hopeless noob post. If I happened upon that thread I would say this for advice: "Bro, you really need to read some more. Follow some people who know what they are doing, and then copy them. Ask them what they do and follow their advice."
I need to listen 'to myself' and get my head out my ass.
I don't really put them in a screen on a schedule. Just really when i feel like it. The main thing in the timing round here is waiting for the roots to be long enough to reach the water in the tubes. The tubes only have about 1/2 inch of water running along the bottom. Most is just open till the roots fill things up. Once they are long enough (like 3-4 inches), then the plants can go into the tubes. Once in the tubes they will be up against the screen already, because it's just sitting there waiting. I then just tie things back as needed. One or two branches today. Couple tomorrow. It was pretty much the same with the giant Casey Jones plant. just kinda train as you go. I guess it's more work to do part by part, but the control and flexibility are why I do it like this.
Man I'm a bit frustrated with the situation going on with the grow/ harvest date. My friend who's locked up is getting out near the end of the year. I don't know what is going to happen when he is released, and want to have my place available to him if need be to crash for a couple nights. Now... I can't have dude staying in my place the day after he got out from a 10+ year term while I'm growing and/or have tons of weed drying. So i'm planning on wrapping things up before his date. That's not the frustrating part. He doesn't know if his date is end of Dec, or end of Jan. If it's end of dec, I need to start flowering these things real soon. If end Jan, I could veg em out.
Grrrrrrr. Wish he knew. But it is what it is. I will however be quite pissed if I flip them soon, and it is Jan. We'll figure it out I guess.

Damn I step away for 24 hours and I feel behind as hell
@Jig - Yea bruh I been driving an hour and 45 min one way for the past year and a half. Shit's def taken its toll. I could have another part time job with as much driving as I do in a week. I hate wasting time is the ironic part. Anyhow music is just something thats supposed to move us, whether its the beat or relating to the lyrics. My tastes range in music but I favor hip hop. Joe Budden has some pretty killer lyrics. Also, nice of you to open your home and give dude a chance to get back on his feet. On to the grow, the roots are looking alot better my friend.
@bassman - dude 20 strains must be a bitch to maintain. How do you keep up with all that? Props to you though regardless of outcome.
@cof - Which do you prefer the t5's or the MH? I've seen some pretty decent grows using t5's but I was just curious as to your preference.
