Hydro: Nah, I'm not topping them.

Rhymes: Yea, I think I'm gonna let them try and recover and just ride these out until my next 2 strains/clones. I'll let the leaves die off if they need to.

Thanks guys.

Well, they've survived. 24-36+ hrs of no water killed off some leaves and it looks like the growth may have been stunted (although I think these crappy Nirvana seeds just aren't THE best...but I digress), but they seem to be living well now.

It's been about 3 days since I started watering them again. Changed out the res and added about 7 or 8 gallons of water instead of the 5 I usually use, and I'm using full strength nutrients (this might be a tad much). Some of the top leaves are starting to have a lil burn to them....I'm not entirely sure if that's because of the underwatering or too high of a concentration of nutes, or both.

I'm still working on my flowering closet...need to finalize some things first.

Let me know what you think, thanks for checkin' in guys. :blsmoke:

P.s - I did see a weird lookin bug..and after i did some research I think it may have been a thrip..but I'm not entirely sure.

P.p.s - They're all about 9-10" tall.

Im glad they lived man! It is hard to tell which issue caused the fan leaves to do that. If the new growth is heath and increasing in spead then everything is prob fine. good job and man! i cant wait to see how they turn out

O and by the way Nirvana Seeds ARE crap. I will def agreewith you on that. My SW and PPP were both crap. The PPP were the smallest i have EVER seen. Like the tip oin a ball point pen. and when they germed and started they were all soo stunted that they didnt grow. :(

i just gotta know, i look in the local home depot and lowes and walmart and i cant find anything close. where did you purchase your supplies? like i need a resevoir, and i need that reflective material, 12 arm watering systems.

Reservoir is just a rubbermaid container u can find at wal-mart....

Reflective material is called mylar and its available in grow shops or you can order from High Tech Garden Supply (highly recommended).

The 12 arm watering system you can search online for "drip irrigation system" or "drip nozzle" and u will find something eventually. That's how I bought my system a few years ago. You'll need to make sure the tubing fits and everything, so make sure to read up on the products you are looking at.

The plants are doing well. Some of the leaves damaged in the underwatergate scandal are close to falling off, but they are still there. Otherwise, plants are all just about a foot tall. My pot size is way too small but right now I can't do anything but wait until I transplant into my flower room (in progress).

2 Snow White's are in the back
2 PPP's are in the front

Pre-flowers are visible by naked eye and I've seen no balls yet on these feminized seeds.

:weed:

Looks good. I would def get those into some kind of system cause they are going to run out of root space really soon. Also i would cut those dead fan leaves off as soon as you can. You dont want her using all her energy trying to fix those dead leaves. Im really surprised how well they are doing for how small the net pots are and what happened to them. the conditions must be perfect. :) keep it up

Looking good man. My first grow I burned them pretty bad by giving them nutes too early. They bounced back nice and started growing surprisingly fast. What kind of lighting you going to have in the flower chamber?

Thanks for the comments fellas. I'll be using a 400w hps (55,000 lumens) for 4 to MAYBE 6 plants at a time. Ebb n Flow system with carbon filter and air-cooled hood all exhausted via 1 435cfm fan. Both of my rooms will be exhausted to 1 of the vent ports in the roof. I just made a box-like structure sealed off between the studs of the roof....so both veg and flower will be exhausted to this box (2 vent holes) and the enclosed box (I'd say its about 2.5 ft by 1 ft) has access to a screened off vent that leads directly to outside. I'm HOPING that I don't get any backdraft from the 2 different fans that may or may not be going at different times [435cfm for flower, 160cfm booster for veg]. I do happen to have speed controlls for both fans, though.

The flower room is about 75% complete - I just have to hook up and install the table/flood system and make another light proof barrier just inside of the swinging closet door.

Pics to follow soon.
