BooMer's 5000w Medical Hydro Cannabis Laboratory w/ C02 Generator & ScrOG

thanks for ll the help and suggestions guys. i need to decide what to do for the next round like now. im picking up a bunch of cuttings and need to get them vegging.


just got home from a lil 4day vacation and the room held up just fine on its own. no mess no fire.

but the ph crept hard. up to 6.5-7.0 by the time i checked it.
the ladies are lookin very mixed on appearance. most likely due to multiple issues;

ph flux
high ppms
pathogen attack
algae
airation to roots
high water temps
uneven canopy


soooo that be said im workin on as much as i can at a time and also hustling to get the next round goin for veg along with my next project room.
so all the help is greatly appreciated guys.

im gonna upload sum pix for this weeks update and need help figuring out my issues.
sumone mentioned the stems turning dark (purple or black) is a pathogen issues. most likely from algae in my rez?
the stems are darkened on about 6 diff plants. mostly on just the same table which leads me to believe it was sumthing bad in my rez.

i need to research pathogen issues and why the plants are tripping. but def the ones with darkend stems are not doing as well. its weird tho cuz the nugs blew the fuck up while i was gone and all are still fattening up and the aroma has begun. but the small fan leafs surrounding the colas are shriveling up turning brown and falling off. i need to go thru and pick off mass amounts of dead/dying leafs and im concerned that the issue mite spread to the other plants?
not sure if thats possible but since i run a drain to waste system im hoping the runoff didnt affect the other healthy plants.
im considering pulling the few fukd up lookin plants but idk if its neccessary or if i should just ride it out. im sure ill have a yield loss for all kinds of reasons but it being my first indoor grow i need to the challenges to dial in the system and future grows. so if i can figure out wat caused these issues then i can prevent it next round.

anyways enough rambling for now. let me know wat u guys think and im gonna get an update asap

Hey bro, check this out for a possible diagnosis or maybe try to find something out there similar.

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Marijuana_Cultivation/Common_Plant_Problems

And this book is pretty good if you can find it around your area, which should be pretty easy.

http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Garden-Saver-Handbook-Healthy/dp/0932551912

Your leaf problem reminds me of the phosphorus deficiency I once had...you might want to look into that.

GL bro!

mango is a incredible strain,thier godbud is amazing.purps,watnot, i go to bcseedking get like 30 beans of top cannibas cup winners for 80.00 , purple kush fems, i been doin thier stuff for a 2 yrs best deal for seed groing.60 to 70 % are strong girls.jus thot i'd pass it on if yure lookin for somethin new,thgier cash orders only, i done order like 14 times,all my patients are happy,lol.later.

starting week 6 tomorrow and mixed the rez up with 1350ppm and 5.6-5.7 PH.

stopped using big bud and now using overdrive.
changed sum things around for this stage of flower and only using;

cannazym
magical
root excel
overdrive
conessour blend A&B
sensi bloom A&B


got a lot of work done today. put up the screen drying shelfs. pulled out 46 6" RW cubes and presoaking them in low PHd water to lower the mediums PH.
picked up 42 cuttings of OG x Bubba Kush and under the T5 for now. gonna transplant the cuttings into the cubes in a day or two and throw them on the veg table under the 1000w MH lamp.
i also have 2 master bubba kush cuttings and 2 sour grape cuttings that i will transplant onto the veg table into the 6" RW cubes as well, but i will veg them for only a couple weeks and move them into the mother setup under the 400w MH to mother a few diff strains out.
i will choose the strongest 36 og bubba kush vegged clones to be moved into the flower room in 30 days. they should be about 12" tall. I will pick the next 4 strongest lookin og bubba kush vegged cuttings and mother them out instead of flower. this way i have 3 diff strains to keep until i get my seeds next week and veg them.



i was gone for 5 days and havent had a chance to pick off the dying leafs but if u can take a look at the lights on pic with the close up shots of the sick lookin plant. a few of the plants have the dark purple or black stem/branch look goin on and need to figure out whether to pull them or wait it out. i know sumthing is/was wrong since they have dying leafs around the colas but theres several other healthy green lookin plants. just doesnt make sense. i just need to know if the plant is gonna die or spread the same issues to the other healthy plants.















then other plants are healthy looking...










the screen drying shelfs.










42x og bubba kush







lights off; gren bulbs on;

Bad Ass Dude,
I love that lighting too.

Rock Out !!

Party time with the green light just gives the nugs a blue tint very nice!!

Setup is beautiful man always enjoy the updates.

always looking forward to the next update with those crazy green bulb shots
buds are lookin good tho man and that og x bubba sounds fiiire. my cuz had a sampler of some super dank og kush from a guy that said people were willing to pay something stupid like $12,000 for one cutting!
lol man I love kush, but 12 g's for one cut of it?!

ill have to check into that for sum future crops

funny u should mention that. a few weeks ago i was talkin to my buddy about the owner at the hydro store and he had paid $5000 bak months or even a year or so ago for the master kush x bubba kush cutting cuz its so rare. thats why i was stoked to come across cuttings. of course the supply and demand ratio has lessened the price so i got it for $10 each

id rather start my own breeding program or kiss a breeders ass rather then drop $12k on a cutting lol.



anyways thanks for all the kind words guys. not sure if anyone has sum suggestions regarding the plant issue or they look ok?

Check this out Boomer...



This is phosphorus deficiency, which is what I think you have. Or toxicity, but prob deficiency. Either way I think your P is way off, and that can lock out other micronutrients making the problem worse. This ruined a whole crop for me once, so I hope you can figure it out.

Wow, 5K for a cutting? Dam I hope he recouped his investment.
About the plant issues, Ya know man, with all the shit you are using who knows. Dont get me wrong, I applaud the fact your trying all these nutes and additives to dial in your crop but it seems to me when you use several like that it adds many more variables. Not to mention the residual effects. I dont know, maybe its time to back to basics then add one at a time.

Boomer, that's surreal dude. Nice

I'm digging the new digs

i was referring to reg beans, the fems are 10 for a 100, but my order yesterday came with 15 purple kush fems for a 100,yea i'm down with growin from seed.again ure stuff has is all-inspiring.

I absolutely love your set-up... it's HUGE ! and beautiful plants to go along with it

after a couple more grows on these 2000 watts,definately aiming for 6000 , settup like 6 ona dice,1000 sqare ft. den.sea of green,lol.

it looks pretty close to the plants having issue. i had cleaned out my rez last week and hoping my ratio is better now and cleaner. idk how much damage has been done but i hope to recover the damage.
like u said if theres a lockout its just increasing the problems.

i totally agree with u bro. the only reason im continuing to use this recipe is cuz i have all the nutes that the recipe calls for and wanted to do a complete runthru with it from start to finish and compare those results with the next rounds results.

next round i plan to do a very simple feeding method and let the plant tell me wat it needs. ure right about not knowing where to start and wat to adjust. thats my biggest issue. prob just do a macro nute with sum legit micronute additives and root enhancers. and prob just use big bud and overdrive for additives. i plan to use up what nutes i have left and try a diff brand in following rounds.

Lookin good boomer. Glad I could stop by and happy you still got it crackin.

damn bro, i leave for a couple weeks and booya! looking like its gonna be a good first yield bro! am i invited to the tasting! i got 3 new strains this round for ya buddy! im still here bro, looks like well meet up when this shit settles down.

WOW! Your room looks lush Boomer. I think your pH swings, like cruzer said, messed up the uptake (lockout) of macro and micro nutes so you have some sort of nute diffiency. I agree too that you should start simple , dial it in, then go to the specialty stuff. But thats me. Racks look good too. Let me know if yan need any help snipping.
