Week 22 Update
I thought I'd start this update out a little different than normal and give a walk-through of my grow room since I have not yet done it. Though people might want to see how a made good use of this unique layout. To start with, I have a split level house. You walk in the front door and there is a short set of stairs going up and a short set going down. If you walk down the stairs and turn to the left, you'll see 3 doors in a U shape.
Looking at the pic above, the door on the right is my utility room, strait in front goes out to the garage, and the door on the left is a small closet under the stairs going up. This closet is where all of my cable connections are and I have my modem and router set up in there giving my whole house hard-lined internet(great for xbox live and streaming HD video to all of the TVs). But in this closet, there is a small opening leading to a small crawlspace under the lower stairs. In here is where the magic happens.
Before we go in, here's an overlay of the floor plan.
As you enter the room you come into the Mother Area for WW3 and Blue Kush as well as where my nutrients are and I do all of my mixing here. I just installed this RO system in hopes of making sure the same problems I had with my water will not happen again
.
As you look through to the seedlings in front of you you'll see a couple of branches poking out on the left. These are the WW1&2 mothers and my blue kush seed I got from a bag of dank grown from the blue kush mother and clones I now have. The best part about this area is that it is about 1.5feet taller than the rest of the grow area, which gives the mothers that much more to grow.
Now, on the other side of the wall is where my humidity dome and seedlings grow which is under the stairs themselves. Next to that in the same area is the veg tub for my clones. If you are sitting in front of the clone tub and look 90deg. to the right, you will see my flower room. Obviously everyone's favorite place.
And now time for the real update
We are now 22 weeks into this grow. The WW1&2 clones are now 10 weeks into flowering. The Blue Mystic, Mango, and Mazar seedlings are growing like crazy. They all have a decent amount or roots growing and are keeping on a fast pace despite the fact that they are recovering from a nutrient burn that was caused by possibly still contaminated water or me adding fulvic acid to my nutrient solution off of a recommendation from the guy at the grow store. what an ass, or he thought I was growing something else. I stopped adding it and changed the tubs and buckets and the burn seemed to stop. Didn't have the water fixed till today so I'm leaning more towards the folvic acid. All of the Blue kush clones have rooted and been transplanted into hydrotron. 1 imparticular is doing better than the others. The piss has rooted as well but only has 1 root visable and it shows(worst looking 1 in the tub).
The WW3 mother is still growing nuts. Color is good all over and all but the very bottom leaves are perky. The rootball is huge and takes up the entire bucket. Anxious to grow more of this, thinking about moving my mothers and turning my whole current area into a flowering room and seeing what LED's and a couple of UVB bulbs could do since I already know how my Son Agro did. The blue Kush that I originally picked as the mother is actually doing the best out of all of them, so no need to rearrange clones.
Now for the goods. The WW1&2 clones are now 10 weeks into flowering. I am hoping to harvest next weekend. Almost all of the trichomes are cloudy, a few clear, and no amber. The buds are getting even denser and frosty. Starting to look real good. At the moment, WW2 has a much better smell to me and has also suffer less from the nutrient burn, but still hasn't put on the weight that WW1 has. But it also seems to be a week or 2 behind WW1 as well, so we'll have to see. The Piss clone has clearly show it is a female and pistil grow is further than I expected at this amount of time(2 weeks I think). The Blue Kush bag seed hasn't shown any signs of sex but has grown much larger than the piss. But enough talking, for everyone's viewing pleasure, Integra's Widow Girls raw and uncut.

Ok. I harvested at 11 weeks flower. My yield was definitely affected from the water problems I had a month back. But I'm still thinking it's a Pretty good weight. Took my 8 hours to trim 5 plants, I know thats a long time, but I was working by myself and I am very detail oriented when trimming. Loose a lot of good leaf weight, but its mostly for personal, so it doesnt mater. Here are some pics. Ended up with 14 fully loaded hangers of some really good looking dank. When you grind it, it's more white than green. The Outside Piss plant is well into flowering now. The buds are growing and trichomes are just starting up. It's now just under 6ft. tall. The Mazar, Mango, and Blue Mystic seedling are growing very well. The Blue Kush clones are fully rooted and also growing well. 1 has really taken off more than the others, but their average heights are 6-8in. Not a lot of info this update, real busy, so I'll just let the pictures do the talking.

Alright. Harvest is dry. Took 7 days at 70F with 40%rh. All are jaring now. I know the yield would have been better if I didnt have all the nutrient problems in the middle of flowering. But i still hold my head high with a respectable first grow.

That is an awesome yield Bro! I am running the same line of nutrients. I'd love to talk to you about them because I haven't ever worked with proper nutrients. Check out my grow in the sig. Good luck. Keep up the good work

Checked out the log. Looked like you were using the Technaflora set. I switched a little while back to the General Hydroponics Flora Series because i started going through those kit too fast when I switched to hydro. But they worked wel when I used them.l

Ok. It has been a little since an update. My Blue Kush Clones are now 3 weeks into flowering. They are showing pistils, but this was expected since they were from a proven mother. I have added molasses to my nutrient soup and they seem to love it. The root balls have completely filled up the tub but that isnt slowing them down or affecting their health. My outdoor Piss plant is growing healthy and getting pretty late into flowering. All pistils are still white, but it is frosting up nicely. The buds are also the densest I've ever seen and the smell is fantastic. Glad it's outdoors. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Without further adu, to the bud, scrog, and root porn:

Ok, I got asked to put some finished bud shots up on my other site, so here they are. These are my white widows that have been curing for 4 weeks. They have an almost spicy floral smell and a taste i cant quite describe, but it is kinda musky and sweet with almost a zippy bite like a lemon head. It makes my tounge go numb first hit like nummise.
I will also have a real update coming alter.

Ok. I have done a little tweaking to fight a spider mite problem. I Have added an extra humidifier to keep the rh@55%. I also dropped the temps down to about 72F. Did this because the mites best breeding enviroment is 80F and dry. Also finally fixed my RO purifier. Initial ppm is now under 10 instead of the previous 330. The Flower res stays at a constant 71F with between 800-1100ppm. These plants are hungry. Put 1200ppm mix in 2 days ago, and this morning it was at 450ppm. Added more nutrients to bring it up to 880ppm. The plants are growing fast and dont seem to show signs of slowing despite the mites. I have sprayed twice with a 1:3 alcohol:water mix and it seemed inaffective, so today I steped it up to Einstien Oil(neem oil) and gave the girls a thourough soaking. I hope this works, becasue i am quicly running out of days that I can get away with spraying, because as the buds grow, moisture will lead to mold problems. But as you can see in the pics, its a small infestation, barely noticable. No webs. Here are the pics.

Those roots are some of the craziest shit, Is that causing problems? How do you like the Technaflora Nutes. Im running the same line. Haven't had any problems yet

Nope, no problems at all. I switched to the General Hydroponic nutrients before this grow started to save some cash and to help troubleshoot a problem a while back. But I did have great results with the Technaflora set, but I'm having the same luck with the ceaper ones too. Glad you enjoyed the roots.

This is my outdoor Piss plant. I planted it in early June after growing from bagseed indoors for a month.I fed it about once a month with my GH Flora nutrients with molasses. The plant has a very strong odor that can be smelled 15 feet away. I will be harvesting it next weekend. Here are the pics. I figured I'd put a lot up since it was the last pre-harvest update and a day later than I said It would be.
