Coast2Coast 1st grow (Suggestions Welcome)

And here's some growth progress....

Day 17

Gigabud
DieselRyder
BubbaKush
Pineapple Express

Well they certainly are getting bushier...I added a 150w MH on the side the help with some of the lower growth it was looking a little shady down there...

The Pineapple express really appreciated the extra light... now it isnt leaning as much to get light but its getting nice even light on the top and the sides... I think I made my plants happy....

any suggestions... I dont want to give them too much light... temps are pretty solid... 75-80... 80 being the heat of the day (100 outside) and the humidity is topping at 40% staying at a usual 37-38%

looks good....give them as much light as you got with out sacrificing temps too much. IMO

Well in all my best efforts to make these plants into monster mothers I turned on my 2 extra 150w MH....sooo Now I have about 400w of light coming from up top and 300-350w shooting in on the sides... adjusted my A/C and im running at temps of 77 degrees and 39% humidity...

Im sorry for the ballast interference... But heres some pics of what ive got going on now...

any thoughts or suggestions on the new lights?

Nice DIY carbon filter. I'd get another pump, in DWC air/water circulation is key. Also keep the pump out of the light and as cool as possible so it doesn't pump hot air into your buckets. Sub'd!

Well I came back this weekend to some bushes! The Dieselryder looks to be in preflower... Ill throw some pics up tonight at lights out...

and on that note, im about to order a inline fan because that diesel is gonna start tooo smeeeeelllll im sure.

And I had a question for everyone... Do you really have to change your nutes out every two weeks like the instructions on the nutes say... or do you change them when your nutes start to get eaten up... I make sure I top off each day, im just thinking if they arent being consumed right now they should later as long as I keep the water in there...

The Plants are looking great. really good growth. think the reason ppl change is because the water becomes gross after awhile. I'm sure even if the nutes in the water hasn't been used up completely the quality of water might not be that good. Sort of a observation/guess. Using the same water for a lil over 2 weeks I'm sure is fine, but using the same water for like a month doesn't seem like you'd get the best growth. If your asking cuz your tryna save nutes i would just try it once and see how long you can go until there's slight color change and you'll know how long you can leave it til.

Bump for suggestions... So far on the nute change topic ive got avoiding buildup... and avoiding shitty water...

Well I had to move my girls outside today because the damn cable people were in my place hooking up new cable connections and they'll probably be here tomorrow... bastards... But they look like they loved the fresh air and sunshine... color was vibrant and it looked like they enjoyed the extra co2... which makes me want to save for a co2 setup even harder...

Oh and does anyone else hate dominos pizza as much as I do... figured Ide pick up something easy for dinner and now I wish I would have gotten some better pizza... uck

Oh yeah and some bitch-ass wasp stung me today on the neck while I was putting my girls outside... evidently my back porch had a nest that I disturbed I saw them swarm and one even hit my shirt... so I went back inside... came out 10 min later and they seemed to have calmed down.... then when I was checking the water level bam... back of the neck didnt really hurt that much but swelled up like a mofo, then later started itching... and right now its just numb and annoying... Well I guess the health of my little ladies is worth some small discomfort...

Domino's is an insult to pizza.

Looking good though! once I move to a house out of town I'd love to grow both outdoors and in.

Yeah like im sitting here with 2 half eaten ones and im just like really? Ide rather eat their new garlic crust than the rest of the pizza... Yeah im moving here in about a month to an actual house and I plan on getting a few clones together and veg them for the winter and transplant those girls when it gets warm for some tree's outside... Its in a neighbor hood but im kinda tucked away behind tree's as far as my neighbors go... Im just gonna have a big garden and hide a girl here and there in there... so it looks like just another plant... probably a low odor strain... top it to keep it from sky rocketing and just enjoy the outside growing... I think when I get older and After im done with college I might move to a secluded house in the outskirts of town and do some outside growing... Ide love to just go all natural.... All organics... nice sunshine and fresh air... simple...

Your plants look great man!!!! keep it up!
