Thanx dawg - I'll try to swing by soon, been crazy busy - got just enough time to take some pics and update the journal for now...I'll be by soon!
I was using probably twice as much GH Flora Nova Bloom than I needed, plus I added in some of AN's Nirvana and a powder 'Bus Blaster' to a few of my add-backs... I think since that grow took so long, it wasn't ideal for that small rez and when it couldn't take up water anymore, root rot set in and took over. The plant didn't look 'abnormal' to me and it dried up some I just attributed it to the plant 'finishing off'.. but I think that was a sign of a sour rez.
Right on monkeymonk - she's really starting to fill out nicely now - I haven't had a plant fill out this much as early in flowering as this one is...great sign. Once the stretch period is over (and it's pretty close already) and it really packs on the weight, it will be very fun to watch for sure!!
Hey I just got some aces in the mail todayany info on pheno types to look after?
Monkeymonk answered this below - this is the one and only plant I've grown of this strain, so I'm just lucky to have this middle pheno.
That's exciting! I'd really be all over that - this AoS is the first from TGA that i've grown, but I'm really impressed with how healthy and great looking it is and how easy it's been to keep happy.
You won't regret it C - it's definitely a super strong, healthy strain. She responds magically to LST, and almost seems to mould itself into a perfect bush-canopy with little manipulation. I didn't screen this girl, and just look at her!!
Lol...have a hit for me man..
Great to have this info on the pheno varieties - thanks monkey! I have to agree - it's actually quite hard to find a bad leaf on this plant - she looks crisp and fresh from top to bottom.

Looking very yummy! That AoS was never on my list...but this has made me think...
BTW, my VK is still clinging to life... she is in the Aerogarden trying to grow some new roots (since I chopped all hers off - LOL) and is doing pretty good. She's only been there 5 days and she's already got a couple of 1/2 inch roots. She'll be late to the party, but I think she's gonna be strain #4 in the flower room after all.

Thanks - a wise man once said.... nothin to it, but to do it!
Yes, Sub's AoS has got some muscles that's for sure. I have her at about 600 ppms right now and I think it's starting to show very slight beginnings of a deficiency...it's really hard to tell for sure, but I'm going to bump up her nutes to about 700-750 next week and see what she thinks...
I really like the Aerogarden idea - I'm buying one in the next month so we can grow some herbs indoors during the winter. Maybe I'll attempt some cloning with it at the same time... it's so tempting..
Welcome ej! Glad you could join us!
my little guys are starting to show flowering, my camera kinda suck so I'm not going to post any up close pictures. They're growing up so fast
Awesome man - you'll see more and more each day now...let the games begin!
Thanks man - I'm really happy with both of these plants so far. I think that keeping the ppms low like this, this far into flowering, it's helped the roots stay healthier, along with the H2O2 I've been adding to the rez. I've also been putting ice-cubes in my add-back pail to bring my rez temps down a bit. They aren't too bad most of the time, but some days they're as warm as 75-78 degrees, which is dangerous.

I'm blushing! I really enjoy growing this plant - so rewarding! Thank you for all the compliments!! I hope your waterfarm is doing better - I think starting straight in the hydroton instead of using the rockwool would have helped you get a quicker start - be vigilant though, and she' pull through!
Thanks! They're really keeping nice and healthy - I think I've finally learned the 'less is more' lesson when it comes to nutrients. Staying low has proven to be the way to go with both of these strains so far. The AoS is starting to look a bit hungrier these days though, so I'll feed her a bit more in the next week and she what happens.

Hey Dayzt, I think you'll like the Aerogarden. My VK sprouted roots about 5-6 days after putting her in there. I used the "tomato" setting for the lights which = 18/6 and I put 1/4 strength nutes into her res. The one I have, the res holds 1 gallon (7-ports) so measuring nutes was easy. The little pump inside makes it work like a bubbleponics or waterfarm system. Add an airstone and you're golden! My next batch of clones will be in the Aerogarden. That worked fantastically! It was truly a set and forget way to clone. I did exactly ZIP for my VK once I popped her nekkid stem into the system.
Oh, since I got mine used, I was missing all the little bits that fit in the holes. So I sliced a 1.5" rockwool cube in half, poked her all the way through till her tip touched the water, and shoved the square cube into the round hole (yes, Santa, it can be done!). I was so frustrated with her that I didn't even bother with Clonex. I just sliced her at a 45* angle and shoved her in there. 5-6 days later (I really foget), she had about 6 - 1/2" roots sticking out. So she's in the dirt now and we'll see how she does.
Apparently, my history is beginning to look like that of a plant abuser... LOL! But so far, the "weed" aspect of these beauties hasn't let me down. Apparently, I can't kill a pot plant! LOL

Beautiful pics man. I'm about to get my blue mystic flowering in my waterfarm in a week and a half can't wait! I have vegged in them but never tried a flower, you inspired me to pop a little side project. Thanks for the insight and the beautiful pics dayzt!I took a few more snaps of the Ace this evening - used my old camera and shaded the light with cardboard... didn't turn out too bad actually, but it's hard to get bad pics of this girl!

Dayzt you continue to be the MAN with the strain selections, grow tech, frequent informational updates, and of course the amazing PICTURES! Your grows are always such a pleasure to subscribe to and go along for the ride =D I've got a TGA Agent Orange going myself at the moment, some Chernobyl and Dairy Queen on deck, and I can't wait to get my hands on more TGA genetics. Think I will get some this Saturday... I've also got Barneys Red Dragon up next, which I know you had success with... woot! Anyways, just wanted to comment on your grow, and let you know how awesome it is looking! Cheers mate!

Awesome! I suppose unless I plan to start growing some clones out in soil, I won't be able to use them once they root in there, but it will by mostly an experiment. I wonder how well they'd root in the Aerogarden if they were clones taken from a plant that's already a few weeks into flower... I know it's tough to clone normally at that point, so this may be an easier solution in those cases.
Your welcome man - happy to inspire you! Keep it green!!

Sweet! Yeah, TGA is my new fav - I'm loving this plant so far, and will definitely be growing mostly TGA strains for a good while now I'm sure. Barney has treated me very well, but sometimes change is good - and so far it's really proven to be the way to go. I'm pretty stoked to grow out the Vortex in my next round - it will likely be sitting right where my VK is sitting this time 'round.

Sure you can! Why not? You can do whatever you want with them once they are rooted. Since you have easy viewing access to the stems, you can see as soon as the roots form. When they have 4-5 1/2" root stems started, then move them to whatever medium you plan to grow them out in.
With my VK, I put her in soil when she had the roots about 1/2" long. She's doing fine. There's no reason why I couldn't have put her in hydroton just as easily...or coco or whatever your growing in.

General notes and observations:
Overall:
- Drained and refilled fresh solution into both waterfarms this past Sunday and Monday...used some ice in my water again which has been working well to keep my rez temps down.
- Lots of roots in the VK grow-chamber is becoming evident = can't add-back water as quickly anymore, as the water backs-up if I pour too fast.
- I've been adding a bit extra water to each farm every day when doing add-backs, and going about an inch above the fill-line. I'm experimenting with this to see if it's beneficial or detrimental. Both plants are drinking a lot still, so if it doesn't cause any issues then it will help in that I won't have to add as much back every day.
- The AoS smells like grape juice at the tops. The purple bud leaves continue to turn - making for some 'darker' looking buds.
- I hung some heavy objects from the bottom of the screen at the corners of the plant in order to help pull the corners down a bit and even the canopy a bit.
- The VK canopy is looking more 'moundish' than' flattish'... still some very nice looking buds coming in though - not quite as nice as the AoS, but probably another half as more than it - she's a much bigger plant, likely due to the screen.
- I've been rotating the AoS plant every day, about a half-turn - this seems to be keep things even and giving us more same-sized, large buds across the top. I wouldn't of been able to do this (obviously) if she was trained under a screen...
- Added a tsp of micro to my nute solution this evening = I'm hoping this will address some very slight deficiencies on the AoS as well as some lightish-green leaves on parts of the VK...

Please keep me in the loop on your blue mystic, I got that as an extra seed with my attitude order (my other bonus seed [Royal Queen Ice] is doing really great for me!)

I can't see us using the waterfarms to grow out clones anytime soon, as they'll always be occupied by my main projects - I could do maybe 3 more plants under my 400w, but I don't have any other hydro setups to use (so I'd have to use soil), and I wouldn't want to grow them out fully in the Aerogarden as it will be sitting out in the middle of our family room...lol.

the fact that they arent fem'd doesnt worry u at all? it would be devastating to veg for 4 or 5 weeks to find out it turned male.
