She doesn't have a key we changed the locks a long time ago, plus we are almost always home and she lives about 2 hours from here. No worries we are safe for now.

Thanks seed2bud!
Mared: By the way Mared I agree there is definitely nothing wrong with pic 2 and its a bad angle, if I do say so myself, much better in person!

Tuesday we flushed the plants. We started watering only once a day because we felt like we were starting to water to often.
Some of the plants towards the back have shown brown spots but they are growing like crazy. They now have 7 finger leaves. Most are progressing nice and strong.
At this point H3 is our only plant that has not lost color, shown disease, disfigurement, or stunted growth. This plant looks perfect.

I'm getting lazy with my journal entries, so it has been a while since my last entry.
Anyway, at this point the plants are requiring more and more water. They are around 8" high. We really need to transplant them but we don't have everything we need still. So many trips to the grow shop and we order from Growco, which takes a good 4 or more days, not to mention they keeping being out of stock on important items. We like ordering from them it just becomes kind of a hassle sometimes, which is our fault for waiting to long to order things.
We have been using Epsom salt and now calmag to help because our chlorine in our water is really making the plants mad! Our PH is running a bit too low also, around 6.0 and we are having a hard time keeping it up. Flush tomorrow and trim the dead leaves today.
Making another Growco order today.

Didn't write a time
Our pre-flowers started showing up a couple days ago. We finally got our water system almost set up and ordered our LED for flowering. Should be here some time next week. We had a few plants showing def still but it is so hard to tell what they are...we just want to make it through this grow.
Got the plants transplanted, but when I was transplanting my clumsyness kicked in and I half way dropped a plant. A little baby branch broke off, so Klyde figured he would try his hand at cloning and see if it would take.
They are now in the final pots. Tall 3 gallon pots filled with the same mixture as before. Nutrient intake has increased greatly and they are now getting the full recommended amounts of nutrients. I really want to start flowering but we want to wait until our LED is in and so I think the plants are going to be a bit taller than is suggested.

Watered plants today for the 2nd time using the RO and drip system . Oh my God our life is super duper easier this way. I am in love with this and will never ever ever go back to hand watering....because it is a BITCH!!
I forgot to mention in any of my journal entries that this entire time we have been foliar feeding about once every ten days with a mild Epsom salt solution and applying Einstein oil about every 3 days. We have never had one sign of a single pest. Yay!!
Yesterday I clipped 4 more clones and Klyde's little guy is doing awesome. I clipped one E5, H1, and (2) H3. We also pulled H3 to be Mommie because she has never shown any signs of being sick. The clipped clones were a little too big so they are kind of droopy. I used a straw cut in half and a rubber band to tie them upright. One of the smaller ones we took is doing great though.
Okay the process was, clipped from base of plants, diagonal cut at end, cut down center twice, dipped into Olivia's rooting gel, put into pre-made hole in peat pellets, placed in 1 gallon pots with same medium as the big guys.
I've been watering them separately with super-thrive and a little wetting agent. Mommie got watered with full nutes today. Flowering begins tomorrow.
I got my Blue Lab meter in and it is awesome!
Our plants that we are about to flower are around 16-18" which is way higher than we wanted them to be...live and learn!

Today
All caught up so it is current time now!
Okay so since we began flowering, we are giving the plants water and nutes every two days. Slowly incorporating the bloom fertilizer in there. It has been 7 days since we began flowering and we have also gotten in 3 more UFO LED's.
All of the plants are showing calyxes which for now means since there is no sign of a male anywhere that we actually got all females!!!! Couldn't be more happy about that. The plants are strong and growing larger and larger every day. Around 22" now! They are growing asymmetrical growth now and look so amazing.
The clones are doing great. I untied them today and they are standing up straight on their own. It was really touch and go there for a while but they just perked up a couple days ago and I was totally excited.
Okay be honest...what do you think of them? Do they look normal or scrawny? There health is great, all the def went away so now I'm just curious if anyone has any advice at this point to increase yield?

Looking great. My only advice would be to put a sticker on that Olivia's gel with the date you opened it. After 6-8 months throw it out and buy a new bottle no matter how much is left. I used the same bottle for almost a year and it went bad. I lost a whole bunch of cuttings and some of my favorite phenos were almost lost forever.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I had read somewhere that it wasn't good after a certain time but I couldn't remember how long.

Your growing in soil with hydrotron mixed in right? If so it looks like you wouldnt have to do very much work or investing at all to go full hydro with your setup. You would want to fill your pots with just hydrotron, and you could still use the same irrigation drip system, and rig up a simple gravity return from your trays their sitting in. You could have an easy hydro drip system if you were interested in somewhat faster growth quite easily

Wow, nice setup! I wish I had something like that. Things are looking good cant wait to see the final results.

suprablaski: You are correct that we are mixing in hydrotron. We thought about going hydro but our plan is actually to go aero. Klyde is very creative and inventive and wants to make his own system because he isn't impressed with what is out there. We just figured that since this was our first time we would go with soil since it is harder to fuck up. Thank you for the advice though, we may end up going hydro for a bit before everything gets put together. Either way growing in soil is really time consuming for transplanting reasons!
Ironlungz82: Thank you....and we can't wait either!
