First Grow Journal SH Dual Spectrum II

Hey everybody I am 15 days into flowering with some Blackberry clones. I am using the Stealth Hydro Dual Spectrum II kit. The results so far are absolutely amazing. Growth was steady for the first few days but once the roots hit the water growth has been well over an inch a day. Below are pictures from Day 1, Day 8, and Day 14. Please let me know what you think.

Let me know what you guys think. I am doing the sea of green method. Currently on Day 16 they are about 11 inches tall. I want to keep the plants small and I was told if you are looking for 18-20" plants send them into flowering around 13".

They look great for 14 days. In your first post you said "I am 15 days into flowering." Did you start 12/12 from the beginning? Plants usually double in size during flowering so if that's the size you're looking for, then I would say switch at around 12" if you aren't on 12/12 already.

Whoops I meant to say 15 days into veg. I may have been a little "over medicated" haha. Btw Lt Shiny Sides I was reading your thread last night great work.

Since I am going to be switching to flowering shortly I guess I should confirm some nute questions. I am using the Stealth Hydro pre-packaged nutes. I am due for a res change tomorrow so should I switch them to 12/12 and give a full dose of veg nutes for a couple days? I have read that people keep them on veg nutes for a couple days and then go to bloom. The instructions say never to use the grow and bloom together so I am assuming I make another res change in 4 days or so? Any help is appreciated.

The plants looks real nice pgm420, you shpuld stick with the instructions always, I don't know about the SH nutes! never use there nutes that came with the system, went with flora nova by GH, good job on the grow.

looking good

Thanks for the compliments everybody. As of now I'm planning on switching to 12/12 tomorrow. I am also doing a res change and feeding with a full dose of grow nutes. Then Monday or so I am going to do another res change with a full dose of bloom nutes. Anybody have any suggestions on this. Is it ok to switch immediately to a full dose of bloom nutes?

That sounds perfect to me pgm. I went a full week of veg nutes when I switched to 12/12, then I switched right to bloom nutes, no problem.

Perfect thanks a lot

Well this morning my roots got a half hour breather followed by fresh water and a full dose of grow nutes. Also I turned the flowering timer on so at 7pm I will be starting 12/12. Wish me luck!

I have never grown like this before, I am very curious as to how your plants made out please post more recent pics.

Well I am not too far ahead of the thread I am only on day 19 but here are some more recent pics.

PGM420, Great lookin plants !I've been using Botanicare nutes but they're probably all simular,I've been 3 wks intoflowering and have been using 1/4 grow and 3/4 bloom nutes, cause my fan leaves were lookin alittle ragged and green leaves are better for the whole plant..

Hey, I am a first time grower with SH dual spectrum kit and SH nutes. I have 3 plants that have been in veg for a month. 1 plant had trouble growing in the beginning but is finally catching up.

I want to start the Flowering cycle with a 12/12 also, so I was wondering how your plan to introduce the SH bloom worked? Made sense, so I figure i'd try it.

Also, your roots look very healthy. My roots have become tangled up and there is some browning occurring. Did you experience this also? Should I separate my roots?

Anyone know a easier way to change the stealth hydro res water? As of now I have been ph correcting and adding nutrients in a separate tub and then pouring it in. Very time consuming/messy. Advice?
