As I rolled through wks 3 and 4 (I'm on day 31 today) watering has gone from every 4 day to 3 now at 2.5. The buckets are working at full speed now, which is a good thing for the rest of the grow. The 2gal buckets seem to hit this point faster, but there is more room for roots in the 3.5...

Well here's one for the old stoner archive. Today I noticed when I came home from work that my light was on prior to schedule. I had over ridden the timer and it's been on for at least 46 hrs straight. I'll leave it off for a day and start again, I hope I didn't screw them up too much :wall:

I wouldn't,, it just doesn't wick very well. It will work but not as well as perlite.

I'd have to agree perllite has to be the simplest growing medium around. It responds the same every time no what what brand you pick up, and it's so easy to clean. I re-coup about 70%. I have no experience in E&F. But I have run smart pot hempy's a couple of times. They didn't preform as well...

I had to raise the new light. They looked a little stressed. I guess they should be, they haven't had much more than a wk of the same light source since they came out of the veg box. This is the last light change for this grow. I really like that the bulb spectrum runs off the visible light...

Way behind in updates. I've concluded (maybe incorrectly) that the problem plant is just plain bad genetics. That plant was the one white seed that germinated, and the problems started once it went into flower. It's making bud but it is way behind the others. I'm going to finish it just to see...

I'd have to agree rez maintenance & pumps. But I understand the question from the pics of your grow space, you've got it packed tight and watering each bucket must be a pain. When I ran a few Scrog's under the screen, I used a watering wand and submersible fountain pump.

A late update. I didn't make it a full wk before changing to the 1k light. Switched on 1/1. The plants freaked, 2 have recovered one might not make it. It has canoed, hard clawed, twisted and bad yellowing at margins and leaf edges, all in the upper 1/3 of the plant. This plant never gave that...

I don't think you have to change the cap just bump up the cal for a watering, it will catch up quick enough. I've got something I haven't seen before, it's general unhappiness. I've got 3 girls all the same strain, 2 seem to be very happy the third has canoed, twisted and clawed leaf most all...

Got a silly comment; I noticed in your coco prep no mention of loading with cal. When I open up a new block my final soak is in a10 to 20ml/gal cal/mag then rinse. Untreated coir will pull cal out from wherever it can. No Cal = limited nute uptake. Maybe ???

Well I couldn't wait a wk. Switched to 1K yesterday, I need the extra heat it's been brutal cold here. Here's an update to the Maui Bay grow, shot of the cleaning tray after breaking up a few buds.

My wife has been complaining because I'm making her smoke seeded bud. But I want the seeds and the smoke is great. Anyways I dryed down a some bud and and broke up around a 1/4oz for her trying to earn some holiday points. This is the frostiest sticky bud I've ever grown. Here's a shot of the...

Hey GR, Keep on playing with the medium, sounds like you've gone from good to better to even a better yet, and I'm sure you haven't found best yet. Anyways I was looking at your photo, and it looks like the rez perlite was still in the rez, and I'm guessing that root density decreased right...

Less than 6" in a month would be considered smallish. Most of this is probably a function of the amount of light the plants are getting. I only see one cfl in the photos. And with open cfl's only a small percentage of the light output reaches the plant most is thrown around the room.

Well it looks like the smallest girl has finally hit the rez. I've adjusted the training ring on the large girl a couple times this past wk and have flattened out the top quite a bit. I flipped the lighting to 11.5/12.5 on christmas day, so we're on out way now. Was getting some twisty leaves on...

Yes they might, but why would you want them to stretch? Keep the nodes tight, be patient, and build a good plant.

What can you say the system works, some day you'll have to tell us the tale, unless that would be improper.

Merry Christmas Moe it's great to see you again.

Let em finish the bud will still be good and its easier to remove mature seeds, than the immature ones.

Now that I see it all come together, it all makes perfect sense. Gonna be watching. All the best on your multi-strain grow.
