Yea, I looked at it the next day and the graft didn't take.
Then I cut all the lower branches and fan leaf that didn't make it past the chain. The canopy seems to be settling down now.

The purple Kush cuttings are out of there dark cycle now and look ok... I will know in a couple days what I got.
The two rooted clones are fine.

Hows things on your end?
Did those hydro clones take to dirt ok?

Hey man,

Ready for round 2 huh? Cool. Yea If I had the space I would go with 10 gallon res. If you got 5 tubs and have 10 spots per tub your talking 50 plants. 40 gal res would be 1.25 gal per plant. I am at 1.15 right now. I suspect you will be adding 5 gal a day.

Awesome yield for first grow. I am happy with 1 oz per plant.

How long to let outside bud? I would start by looking up the genetics.
Find a site that sells the seeds and see what it says for outdoor grow harvest time. Then keep an eye on them and when they look like your indoor did, cut.

8-28-09

Temps 89 res 72°
PPMs 600
PH 6.0

Went through a couple gallons. I added three with nutes. Brought them to 500PPMs at 6.0
Gave them a shot of Diamond nectar this feed also.

I read up a bit on bonsai moms. 8"x8" and 12" tall is average size.
I am going to try and make a few and keep them next to the hydro res.

The clones in the diy ez cloner popped. I guess they just needed it darker.
Now I want to see how long I can keep them in there. If they will last a month then
there is the six weeks I needed.

I don't think I will continue with White widow. Its killer smoke and the yield is ok
but the dam thing is a tree and it takes a bit long to flower. The next strain
I am going to grow is Purple Kush. I will keep one widow and one train wreck
in the first batch in case I change my mind but I am pretty sure thats what
I am going to run with for a few grows.



So, Week eight. With four weeks veg they have been flowering for a month.

Hey Cruzer,
Nice grow and design. It's interesting to see the difference in developement.
I am also growing white widow and in week four. The flowers are very developed and leaves are getting trichomes. I'm using the SOG method and vegged for a week.
Why do you think there is such a difference?

as a heads up about vegging that lone in a tub like ours. After the new growth starts, they will take off like crazy. I veged mine for about that ammount of time last grow and they ended up around 14-18inches and when flowered they grew into beasts that were hard to maintain in mmy small space. just keep in mind the bigger they get to in veg, the bigger they get in flower.

Hey Aaron,

Yes, I see the difference between our grows. Now I realize I vegged a bit long for this style grow but I think I will manage.
No topping/pruning this time around either.

The train wreck is doing fine but the widows are taking there time.
What could be the difference between our grows is the plant mass. By vegging longer I have built a larger mass and it could be the reason. I don't know. Another thing, you have hydroton and I don't. Maybe when the water dries it leaves behind nutrients in the hydroton... this is my first aero grow. I think I am going to have some pretty big buds. Only time will tell.

No kidding man. You can almost sit and watch them grow.
14 to 18" huh? Thats about where I was when I flipped.

Oh well, I wanted large colas this time around, Here come da beasts!
I got my whip and chair ready.

That was my plan. Its just wierd watching a plant bud out so soon, and then keep on for this long. yes i figured if i set up for that size and run 50 plants and hope for 1 oz per plant should yield nicely. Now keep in mind this nexts will be an auto flower grow. so i wont half to worry about having a veg and flower area. lighting will be easy too. I dont think the autos will use that much water either. On a count of there size.

8-29-09

Temps 85 res 76°
PPMs 510
PH 5.8

They used a gallon, ppms stay the same and Ph did too.
Its a little warmer these last couple days so I set cooler on 1
Brought the temps down to 72° added nothing.

I got my new PH meter today.
Went with Pinpoint, Its a constant monitoring unit.
To calibrate this you need both 7.0 and 4.0 solution. but they say it will last a lifetime if I take care of it.




The Widow has decided to join the rest and grow some pistils.













I noticed a bit of a curl and burnt tips on a few of the leaves.
That makes me think 800ppms for a short time would be the most these can handle in this system.

I plan on keeping the ppms around 600 from here on out.

You are going to enjoy that Pinpoint meter, it is very accurate.

Be sure your calibration fluid
is the same temperature as your rez
when you do the calibration.

I calibrate at least once a week,
when I change out the nutes.

Your girls are looking happy.
