Well there doing pretty good for there first feeding, and there getting bigger :-).

Yet again change of plans, building a new room and ditching the tent at the moment. Kind of seems silly to have a tent setup when I have an entire garage. So building a new room. Went and got all the materials and started building. Using 3/4 inch drywall and panda filming the inside. Room is going to be 5.5x12x8. So it's bigger, going to have a veg and a flower room :-D. Setting everything up legit, co2, dehumidifier, the works. Hopefully no more plans change and everything goes smoothly from here on out.

Will be posting some pics as soon as construction is over.

At this point bro I would have had my first experiment at week 5
*along* with all the continuing experimentation.

Once you get into week 4 or so, time starts to creeeeeeeep.

Have fun!

Yeah I'm moving on week 2 and there pushing along at a good rate. 2 are veified females and 4 are 50/50. Still have a ways to go but I'm getting there. There new home should be done today. Still have to go to home depot for a filter and tubeing for the hydrogen pro. dehumidifier should be here sometime this week as I was pushing 75%+ humidity at night. All in all should be a good grow ;-)

Ok so finished room for the most part. Instead of taking down the gorilla it fit nicely right in the room I built. So basically same setup just in a more secure location :-) there final resting place till they get chopped.

I run 5gal batches a t a time for watering, and been getting a funky smell after about 3 or 4 days. Temps are about 68/72f dosnt smell bad just not what I would suspect after that short period of time. I currently have a small 250gal pump that comes on 15mins every hour to cirrculate water. The coco kind of has a funk to it as well. Roots as far as I can tell are bright white.

Is this normal or should I be alarmed?
Going to start running sm90 as a prevenative.

Below are the babies 9 days in, since feeding they have really started to take off :-)

Fed them today
Ph 5.8
Ppm 210

Measured runoff
Ppm 120

thinking of bumping the feed up in about a week.

You do not want that smell from the tea.

It can be caused by all sorts of imbalances, like running out of food,
or some other reason for the good bugs to die.

Try adding some molasses and see if the smell improves. If not
then maybe you need more air or a smaller water volume.

Kinda guessing, but hoping you figure it out.

Orderd some sm90, going to start filtering less r/o while there still little. Got an ecoplus air 1 commercial pump to get some airflow in the water so it dos t go stagnant. All should be here hopefully this week. Dust shroom will be here today and I can get some good air, as I'm using outside air. Don't want any mold or pests invading.

That airstone was gonna be my solution, gotta have the water moving or you start to get anaerobic bacteria, especially if it was getting hit with light. Let me just say man, haven't had a chance to check your thread in a couple of days and you are OBSESSED with your ladies lol. Like the best part of my day is getting off work and looking in my tent don't get me wrong but it is possible to kill them with love, just take a toke and let em do their thing.
On the real though if you think you are having probs with leaf growth take it out in regular light and check that shit, to many times under led I let a leaf wrinkle go unchecked and look at the shit later and the wrinkled part is yellow... That was a while ago and was an Mg def. that snuck up on me but nonetheless be weary my fellow grower, led's deceive your eyes lol. Glad to see you took the 2nd one down, was a lil over kill at this stage but did not want to rain on your parade. Everything is looking gucci so like I said just pull up a chair and watch em go.
Keep it green

Lol just a little, just want the best I can do for them girls ;-). I have ocd can't help it.

Ok so I got the room sealed up and got most of my shit set back up. Had to duct cold air in and hot out through the gorilla and out of the house. Let me tell you it was a pain in the ass. Next grow I'm taking down tent and using just the room. Was pretty hot today tent hit 82f not too bad but didn't have ducts hooked up. Gonna check in a couple hours and see if it stabalized.

Sold 1 of the led's thinking 1200w led should be enough for my 5x5. Tent walls are sucking in quite a bit thinking I'm going to stick some 2x2's horizontally on all 4 walls in hopes to keep it from sucking in.

Girls are growing good and I can finally relax and let them do there thing. Leaf was a little wrinkled on 2 plants but all new growth looks very healthy.

Hooked dust shroom up to intake, what ever oil they put on this thing smells awesome;-) hopefully it's smooth sailing from here on out.

Came home and went and checked on them and there was a little beattle with a bright orange stripe on its back munching away on one of the phantom cookie leaves lol so I killed it. Did minor damage.

Fed them today, mixed a fresh batch of nutes up. Hopefully air pump gets here soon, need some o2.

Ppm 350
Ph 5.8

It's been extremely dry and hot down here in socal and my room is hitting 80f+. Fan runs all day. They seem to not be affected by the heat as far as I can tell. Shouldnt be a problem as I have high air exchange.

Took out the duct going into tent, just put the dust shroom on air inlet on the wall. Opend vents up on tent. Seems to work better and dosn't restrict airflow.

Starting to settle down as things are almost back together. Hate moving my room around. Anyways until next time stay green......

Anyone ever hear of afgoo, my boy threw me 3 beans. Might throw one in the mix. From what I have read it's afghani x Maui haze.

I vegged out a few afgoo clones last year but had to scrap them before flowering time. The structure they had was perfect, nice and bushy. Wish I had access to some more...then I've sampled some buds from a club and its some very stony stuff. Great all around.

Going to be running some sm90 in my rez from now on and wanted to know if it kills benificials. I'm only running voodoo juice but it's only used for the 1st 2 weeks. At 3ml a gal every rez change will this fuk with the voodoo. I have read it does and that it dosn't any insight would be great.

Well got home, there exploding :-D there all responding very well to the advanced nutes. Pretty impressed with them, even with all the bad rap they get, and there not that exspensive anymore. Been feeding them 350 ppm and adding b52 and voodoo juice at full strength. Said fuk it and added the sm90, stuff smells great. My coco was starting to smell funky so thats the reason I'm gonna run it in the rez from here on out, and as a prevenative.

ecoair 1 commercial pump came today and is a little over kill for my 5 gal. But the more o2 the better ;-).

Rez temps stay around 68 - 70f. My room is running around 68-80f. The dehumidifier should be here soon. Orderd a 30pint frigidair mechanical dehu so it would be controlled by my sentinel controller.

Things are starting to look up anyways stay green.

Update: coco smells great now, no more funk :-) the ph in my rez is climbing? Think the sm90 threw off the ph perfect technology. Brought it back down to 5.8. Rez is smelling great also no funk.

The babies are moving to there 3rd set of leaves. The phantom cookies is already starting to reek, hopefully there females ;-)

Got the dehumidifier today :-) and hooked it up.

Been doing alot, getting everything all setup and ready to go. Checked there roots out and they were all over the place and fuzzy and thick, very healthy. Moved them into the 5 gal equivalent airpots. Heavily flooded them with 5 gals of feed, with full strength b52 and voodoo.

looking small in those 5gals lol

Ppm 350
Ph 5.8
Room temp 68-80f
Rh 66%/60% at night.
Until next time stay green.....

Well they were a little shockd due to the transplant but bounced back the next day. Added some new equip, ditched the 5 gal buckets and setup the 66gal covert rez back up. got 2 big air stones. boils the hell out of the water :)in the process of Seting up the hydrogen pro co2 gen. Does it have to be directly in the tent? I leave the tent wide open now, so i put it up on the wall pretty close to the tent. Me and my buddy are swapping sentinel controllers as his has the co2 control feature. Got the dehumidifier up and it works well. As for my led it pulls 720w actual will this be enough for these 6 through flower? Regret selling the other but we shall see :( needed to spread some funds out for the dehu and other stuff i needed.

The girls to be are getting bigger everyday i look at them:) And stinky. Up'd room temp to 80f and they seem to like it a bit warmer. And getting them ready for 83f temps in the near future as soon as i get the co2 running. anyways here some recent pics.
update: got the co2 gen setup and tested pretty fing cool :-D, just waiting on my bud to bring the sentinel chhc-4 over. He wants my sentinel dec_4 and 130, said deal. when running co2 from what I have read you run the room 83f is this correct?

What kind of panel are you using? Seems to have a lot of blue might not be the best for flowering... 720w seems like a lot for LED, given the size of the unit. Idk specs so not calling bull shit, just do not see 720w worth of diodes there is all. Should check the manf. specs on coverage and height, usually led companies aim for less watts is the only reason I ask. If it is actually pulling 720 at the plug it should be able to cover your area at proper height but hard for me to say, wish I knew more about led tech but there is a lot to learn.
