600w/WW+Sweet tooth/DWC/AN/Med

Hey all,
This would be my second grow, first was white widow under cfl's and soil but it wasn't all that great. Got ph lockup twice but my buds were surprisingly covered in trichomes. I recently got my card and my mate and I got something rigged up.

I'm planning on doing a perpetual 2 month harvest, we have a space for a mother and clones when needed. I plan on cutting clones of WW in veg and using one to make a mother, which hopefully will be ready in time to veg and put into flowering when i harvest the first time. May be cutting it close though, still got some research to do. Planning on hopefully getting a tad less than a g/watt, so maybe a yield of 18-20 oz but thats pretty high. if i was to get a g/watt its something like 24 oz's about.

Equipment run-down:
Growlab 120 6'11x3'11x3'11
Sun systems yield master classic hood
lumatek 600w ballast
Ushio 600w red bulb

Hanna ph/ec/tds combo meter, waterproof
100 gpd RO filter
AN sensi 2 part-Grow+Bloom
AN Big Bud Powder

All comments are appreciated, since this is my first hydro grow it'd be great having people follow me and help me get everything done right. Germination starts in a couple days!

October 5th, 2010:Germinated 3 Barney's Farm feminized seeds and 3 feminized Nirvana white widow.
October 7th, 2010: All WW's have 1/4" taproots, one of the ST seeds cracked so hopefully i'll plant them in grodan cubes tomorrow night. Will have picture updates then

Looks good man : P cant wait to see more from you, this setup has HUGE potential

Hey all

Made the first rez today, 23 gallons of RO water.
Ph:5.9
ppm:81
temp:59 F
nutes: 23 ml sensi grow A, 23 ml grow B.

Sooo, i did a transplant into the buckets also, except one of the plants has a mag burn i believe(white widow). And one of the sweet tooth's hasn't sprouted yet because i think i put the seed in wrong.

help?

can anyone help?

Ph's were mostly around 6.2 after checking and adjusting last night. used ph down to get these results. Also threw out that Sweet Tooth that failed to sprout, going to pick up a clone here soon to take its place.

Average Ph: 5.6 - 5.8
ppm:81
rez temp: 65 F

room temp: 70 F
RH: 60%

Plants are already looking better after transplant

Pic 2: White Widow

No pics today sorry, someone respond! putting in alot of work and would like major discussions happening at the least.

Been adjusting ph everyday to 5.5 instead of 5.7 because it keeps the ph between 5.5 and 5.9 which is perfect in my eyes. Read a ph of 6.4 today which is terrible so yeah. Plants are perking up though and i will have to decide on a clone to get to replace the Sweet Tooth soon, hopefully chemdawg.

how do you like your 600 watt light? i have the same exact light and intereste3d in what others can do with it

how are the plants doing ? i bet they are pretty big by now

Here are some pis from today; any idea what that spotting is?

we're down to 4 plants, still vegging but already topped and started to lst
ppm at 1000 using ro water, hygrozyme, and sensi a+b

that white widow in the back must be 2 feet wide and about a foot tall
front left is sweet tooth and the rest are WW

update with pictures:

moved into flowering tent on 12-28, pictures were taken 2-15 so about 46 days into flowering, just switched from bigbud powder to overdrive at the same time

this has been a very interesting grow so far, we used a combination of topping and LST so they are very bushy

using RO, calmag, hygrozyme, and overdrive ppm=300
+ AN sensi bloom a+b ppm=1400
*diluted sweettooth rez to 1100 due to nitrogen burn

first time using this camera, but enjoy the show!
