So the ladies have resumed a healthy growth state and are sitting
in an a nutrientless media, so that means tomorrow they will receive
a fully balanced week 1 flowering feed, I will get the PPM's around 900-1000
for tomorrows feed.

Shrubs First · Mar 6, 2010

Got some pics for ya, the ladies are loving the feeding
I gave em.. This one was pretty perfect if I do say so
myself.

Day 6 Flowering

Sour Diesels

Mendocino Purps

Mmmm, lookin good from my perspective. :-)

Shrubs First · Mar 6, 2010

Thought this would be worth mentioning.....

My PPM on my feeding was 1100, and when I tested
the runoff it came out as 600... So apparently the nutes
were absorbed faster than a son of a bitch. I'm pretty stoked
to see the growth results over the next few days.

Shrubs First · Mar 6, 2010

I snapped some pics of some finished product from my last
crop since I didn't have the camera in my last harvest...

Not the best pics but I think they look delicious. :-)

Cinderella 99

Mendocino Purps

The lighting isn't the best to see th purple calyxes but they are there, trust :-)

notoriousb · Mar 7, 2010

Mmm its gonna start getting so stinky in there with that diesel aand purp! :weed:

I've never smoked any of the mendo purp but looks damn frosty. I can see the purple hues of it too ;-)

Shrubs First · Mar 7, 2010

seriously, i hope my carbon filter is up to the task, it is
definitely a serious one. I will probably purchase some
more ONA gel, because that seems to work pretty well.

Shrubs First · Mar 7, 2010

Today the ladies look crazy, so beautiful, reaching
for the light endlessly it seems. Yield this time will
be highly improved. Tomorrow I'll post some pics of
everything I've been doing lately, I've been so busy.

I got my 4x4 tent back from storage and have it set up
and clean. Gonna build a rasied bed similar to the one
in my flower, only with a 3x3 tray. This will be lit either
by my 2x 250W Halides or I might sell those and get an
8 bulb T5 rack... This would be plenty of light for mothers
and veggies and would cut down on my necessity to
air cool the hut which would make things much easier....

Also I will be making this a shelved system with CFL's and
a clone dome underneath the mother's tray.

Basically I need to get as perpetual as possible.... I think I'm
gonna stick with the Purps and the Sour Diesel as my strains
as they are fairly easy to control and both are quite resistant
to the powdery mildew in my experience which can be a problem
with a Grow Tent being cooled from the outside world.... My intake
is nowhere near powerful enough to place a HEPA filter on there..

My goal is to have my tent fully sealed up and watercooled by the
summer time. We'll discuss my plans on this soon :-)

Drella · Mar 7, 2010

so glad to see it running strong. i love that you can guage how its doing better than last time, im having similar thoughts on my second round. good luck to going perpetual, and good on ya for going t5!

Hell ya man, so far the plants are huge.. Last time I flowered em at around 10
inches and they ended between 16-20 inches, this time I flowered with most of them
at 16 inches..... So their average size is already much larger. I also have a better
spectral intensity this time, as well as the plants being much close to the lights..
All of this just means better energy spent and better bud production :-)

well said bro i was watching some of those old grow vids the one call sea of green it was on point with what you are saying

Drella · Mar 8, 2010

i love it mang! i vegged this round twice as long as last time, (almost two months as opposed to a month last time,) but they started in bloom the same height. i feel that it is a testament to how we take care of a plant. they were measily clones when i got em, and a little stretchy in veg. no even the sativas are bushes. heres to a great harvest, it should be a great one!

Shrubs First · Mar 9, 2010

Yea, I've never really had space issues, and I don't think I really will this time,
but in my eyes these ladies are outgrowing my tent, and that is exactly what
I want :-D

So cheeers buddy. I'll post some more pics soon.... The diesels are
nuts, if the nugs end up as big as I imagine they should, this will be a personal record.

Yess, I'm tryin for the SOG, and I won't expand my setup untill I'm yielding a pound
per 600W light at least.

Shrubs First · Mar 11, 2010

What up yallll, so today has been a great day, well the past few days
have been great, the garden looks good, the plants are happy, my job
is kickin ass, and I am almost finished with my veg tent... here are some
for your eyes only type pictures

Wowowow

Look at these monsters

They're taking over!

So freaking green

The new 4 Foot, 6 Bulb T5HO setup

The Veg Tent Hoorayy!

The Tray lifted on the stand

Questions comments compliments bring it ;-)

notoriousb · Mar 11, 2010

everything's looking so happy and healthy, nice work shrubs :clap:

new veg tent looks good too. my T5's only a 4 bulb but man, I love it :-)

Someguy15 · Mar 11, 2010

Nice, someday when I have a veg room I'll get a 6 or 8 bulb t5 for sure. Not having to deal with the cooling is a blessing compared to MH bulbs. What size are your huts? both fitting 4x4 trays right?
