Looking pretty good, Check out your local hydro shop they sell ph test kits for 7.50 (they're drops but they'll work for letting you know where you are) good luck
Was told not to do this b/c the water is already colored from the Nutrients...I heard its really hard to acurately read the ph

your call, General hydroponics is the manufacturer, why would they make a product that wouldn't work with their nutes? I haven't had any trouble, (using different nutes this time though) Damn i miss my digital display.

Day 38 - Gonna start flowering tonight. Still need to buy a screen


Took 47 clones 2 nights ago, and trimmed most of the big fan leaves off. This is today: PH is hanging around 6.5

Today is day 39, and the lights are being switched off tonight. PH is hovering around 5.5-6. Roots look good. I Built a 3.5ft x 3.5ft trellis, and hung it above the plants and spread the girls out a little bit. They look really healthy and recovered since taking clones on tuesday. As of right now, they take up about 55% of the screen's space, so im hoping the flowering stretch will allow budsites all over the screen. We'll see


I havent seen the clones cuz they're at my boys house under some CFL's.

Plants look really healthy, im suprised i hvent really had any problems to date. Knock on wood. Is anyone reading this at all?

Update: Day 2

Plants love the night time. They grew about 3.5 inches above the screen in the first night alone. Stems are getting fat, and leaves are looking fairly healthy. Added 10 gallons of water, and switched to the 3:2:1 as recommended by GH. Ive been going by their recommendations b/c my water isnt nearly pure enough for Lucas formula. So far, i've had good results.

Temperatures are fluctuatin between about 75 and 84, and water temperature is staying around room temperature, surpisingly. PH is still on the low side at 5-5.7 , and i dont have any ph up, but im hoping that the new water and nutrients will raise the ph up a lttle more as the day goes on.

Took a few more pictures this time, hopefully someone will get interested in this. I'll try to update it with more info every day.





On another note, i got some "Alien Goo" from the dispensary. Never heard of it, nor do they have the genetics, but this weed is seriously from outerspace. So damn delicious. One or two hits puts me out.

Today is day 5 of flower. I got a bottle of hygrozyme on Day 3 and added 8ml/gallon, so 160ml of it, and two days later...the results are quite apparent. The roots are so huge and healthy its ridiculous. The water has been staying cold and has been fluctuating between 5.5-6pH. Plants are stretching alot (about 3 inches a day), and have already filled 3/4 of the screen. 5 days ago the screen was half full.

Still no replys, maybe i'll move this thread to the grow journal section and it'll get some attention

Glad someones reading this shit lol! Yea, you should post some pics and we can compare green thumbs! What system are you running? how many plants/watts etc.?




Update: Flower day 9

Plants are getting so fuckin monsterous i dont even know what to do with them. ITs hard tucking em under the screen cuz there is just soo much explosive growth. The roots are soo healthy and huge, its obscene. DWC is so much better than soil lol.

My plants are sorta on autopilot now i guess, i really only check em about once every 3 days. Havent had any yellow leaves, or any pest problems. so far everything has gone awesome. Temps are 80 during the day and 65 at night.

I can see the bud sites starting to form, and there are gonna be a TON of them. Im so excited for 8 weeks from now lol.

I'm Using a Stealth DWC as well, this is my second grow. Using dutchmaster nutes this time, Setup is similar to my first--->see grow journal. But instead of using a tote I have buckets this time with no res so to speak of. 400W hps and, 24in T-5 fixture for 7(1-afgani, 6 mystery seeds) plants. Just took clones at the end of last week started flush/flower, 2 days back. i'll work on getting some pics up.
