That is some serious dedication and awesome attention to detail.
+rep to you brother!

Why thank you! I try
I record all the data I can so I can have an easier time on my next grow of the same strain. And so anyone I give a clone too can benefit from my experience. In growing this strain already. I can tell you this, they're very water fickle. If water is even a day late, I see severe wilting. Corrected it with Nutes and Water though. Thanks for stoppin in!!

I know I uploaded just under 100 pics in my update last night (Page
But i'm gettin ready to upload a few more of all the crop fully recovered. The pics of C3 were so sad...she was SO droopy and it was horrible. And I really wasn't 100% on what was wrong. But I added more light, water, and nutes. And she perked up like a porn stars nipples when the director yells ACTION!
And S1 is also perked up and back to her normal self. Her child (clone) is looking the worst of the clones. S1-1 But i'm pretty sure she'll pull thru.

i use a 5 gallon bucket and a 10" net pot to water my plants. makes it allot easier to check runoff. if your soil ph goes out of range you'll have a bunch of def problems. i had that problem on some of my plants, then you have to flush the shit out of them, which isn't fun at all, and it takes more time and water to get them back on the right path of growing good. and damn dude 500meg of pix a day. i slowed down allot on uploading pix takes like 20 min to upload 20-30 pix. and the plants in my closet are allot more interesting then my veg boxes lol.

Not a day, just per update. Maybe every 4 days or so.

I also appreciate your work, 91 pictures is a bitch to upload. I've downloaded a shit ton of pics & always seem to fuck up something & have to start back all over. That always hurts.....it's only an hour wasted. As for the leaf problem I mainly think its because of your heat. 91F is too hot, I had the same problem & thats why I got the swamp cooler. They highest I get during the day is 82, which is a little too hot IMO. I think if you drop your temps 10 degrees, the wilting should go away.

As for the dead leaves, I dont think you have a problem. The leaves your talking about are the lowest leaves that get drenched when you water so the nutes in your water are burning them (its like concentrated foliar spray....baaad). Also they are on the lowest part of the plant so they dont get much light so the plant is getting rid of them, totally natural, I always get the same thing. I wouldn't cut them If there only partly dead, they still have valuable nutrients in them & the plant will use them up until the leaf falls off. I know I contradicted myself from my earlier post but I noticed the leaves you were cutting still had alot of green in them. I cut em when there right on the soil, or 3/4's dead.

Please don't mess with your light cycle either bro, you mess around too much & you'll turn them hermi if your not careful. Stay as consistent as possible with your lights. I'de get something to cool off the room before messing with the lights again. Maybe look into a swamp cooler, portable ac, or better ventilation.

Your plants look totally healthy, no problems IMO, just heat issues. Nice update, and good job.

Thanks. Yeah, I know what you mean. The heat is HORRIBLE, and i'm not 100% on what to do. The wilting issues aren't from the heat, since it's still as hot as ever and they're all perked back up to normal.

My new issue is that I went to refill all my jugs, and I noticed my BIG 5 gal water jug smells BAD, the water smells....stale, or almost like garbage...I'm dumping it all and getting some new water, it's like 2 bucks for 5 gallons so i'm not worried. But I don't wanna get getting 5 gallons and using 2 of them before all the water gets fucked up. Anyone have any thoughts?

I also got some new nutes today. Some General Hydroponics Floraduo A & B. It should help me with any Cal/Mag problems I may be having from only using R/O water. I almost got a thing of Cal/Mag, but I won't need it til much later in flower and can get it then. I've almost saved enuf to get my HPS. It's a 600 dimmable digital swtchable ballast, for HPS and MH. With a good hood and the rest, should run me about 340 or so overall. Unless I get it online, but them i'm looking at a magnetic ballast, and heat is a real issue right now so....

My BIG concern now is trying to install and run a MH OR an HPS in a room that's already having heat issues. I'm still planning on installing a carbon filter, but unless it can function as a cooling vent as well...I might end up having to think of something more creative to cool that damn room!!

get a sealed unit and run a fan attached to/light/filter like>fan...tubing...light....tubing...filter....get a fan/blower to suit your space ....also your prob at 360 or so for light shipped to door ...(lumatek ballast sealed hood bulb) with the fan be picky cuz u dont want a clonker!srry if im repeating or if you need more details.....

your nutes might be a bit strong..whats ur soil?.....also heat has a huge factor could cause your plant to strech with few nodes(at least thats what ive read).......but hey im tired im probably all wrong !PEACE!
YOUR WATER SMELLS BAD CUZ OF NUTES IN BUCKET THEN SITTING AND NOT BEING CLEANED!...I WASHED MY BUCKET....NO SMELL!

With those lights your room going to run crazy hot. Ungrowable conditions. Your going to have to invest in inline/blower fans. I run valueline fans & there cheap & quiet. I don't know, you could just get away with some badass exhausting. Shit gets expensive once you start getting into it. Glad to hear your ladies perked up.

My nutes aren't to strong, or it they are it the ladies haven't shown it. And the water that smelled bad was pure RO water, no nutes added.
And my soil if FFOF.
But I washed the container, and refilled it. No smell, if it comes back in a couple weeks, i'll just start filling it with a couple gallons at a time.

And yea, the heat is a little bad, but not in the 90's constantly. I DEF need to get a carbon filter and inline fan to pull the heat from an enclosed cover around the bulb. Went to the hydro store as I said earlier, and checked out a bunch of things. It's like being in a candy store. So i'm still putting together a wish list.

do you have a air stone in your water container? if not you should if you have it sitting for more then a day.

No, but I was thinking about that actually, I was worried it had become stagnant.
I saw one at the hydro shop, shoulda picked the bastard up! and yes, it sits more then a day, now it makes perfect sense. Thanks man, sometimes it's hard to see whats right in front of you!

no problem man. im the same way, some one will see something simple i over looked, or i read something i forgot to do in some one's else's thread. then i get-r-done

Do you know if they have airstone at Lowes, Home Depot, or Walmart?
Each is about 10 miles closer then the nearest Hydro Shop.

i know walmart does, idk if lowe's or home depo does. fish section at walmart and i would call the others before going there.

Na, Walmart should be fine, thanks!

Just got back from the store. Got some mylar blankets to replace the foil and to cover the window for complete darkness in flower. I'm going to run a reverse day cycle. Meaning dark cycle during the day, and light cycle at night. That way the heat is less of an issue. I picked up a bubble stone & a tiny air pump to keep my stored water fresh. And a 55W (True Watts) CFL @ 2700K to throw in there since i'll be using my CFL's to begin flower until I get my HPS. Shouldn't be more then another week or 2 at most, but I need to get flower cycle started. And since all my bulbs are 6500K, it'll be good to have at least ONE 2700K @ the largest wattage available to me at the moment.

how big of a air pump did you get? i started my lph's under my mh bulb for the first 2 weeks untill i got my convertion bulb. they grow fine under it, and was budding good.

peace and happy growing

Thanks. Just the smallest that had, all I need is the bubbles in the thing, I'm not oxygenating it for fish or anything
