looking real good, great setup!! you cant go wrong with botanicare, you should try using their hydroplex as a bloom enhancer. a buddy of mine uses it and he grows some fire shit with it. great dense frosty nugs, might even go back to bottles because of it.

Thanks for the look bro, I have the full Pro Line of Botanicare that I will be running, Pro Grow, Pro Bloom, Silica Blast, Liquid Karma, Vitamino, Hydroguard, Hydroplex, Cal-Mag, Sweet Raw. My homie turned me on to Botanicare and so far I have ZERO complaints, will see how things end up at harvest but I full faith in this nutrient schedule. I use to run Fox Farm's line of nutes but constantly struggled with all kinds of issues, have not had a single one so far using Botanicare. Going to give the ladies their first dose of bloom nutes tonight. The next 8-9 weeks are going to go by so slow, watched pot never boils scenario haha.

To each their own, Ive had plenty of organic weed and honestly I cant tell the difference if you properly flush your medium, except of course the larger yields using synthetics and the time consumption of course. Dont get me wrong, I respect those using organics, just not something I have time for. In a perfect world where I had the time and energy to put towards making my own teas and things, I would prefer to grow organic, just to help reduce polution, but the worlds not perfect and mother earth is dying no matter what we do at this point.

Setting up co2 now, waiting for lights to come on to start testing. My grow room stays around 860ppm as it is so boosting those levels shouldn't be too difficult! very excited ladies and gents.

1478482507733.jpg Beginning of week 3 defoliation and removal of suckered buds. everything is look great, all sensors (co2, temp and humidity) are functioning properly, humidity is staying between 30% and 40%, temps during lights on are staying between 84 and 87 degrees Fahrenheit. No pests, mildew or mold issues.Week 4 I will take a closer look at bud formation and flowering speed and start trying to determine which strains to cut. Won't know for sure til the end but it's fun to make educated guesses and see if I'm right:) Grow on RIU friends!

Quick update
Started adding Mammoth P during my non-nutrient watering as of tonight, got some free samples so why not? Also, 2 of my plants were gifted to me in 2 gallon smart pots, sliced the sides and X'ed the bottom and put them into 3 gallon smart pots with more Fox Farm Happy Frog, they looked like they needed a little more root space.

Looking good, I was having trouble deciding between 6x6 or 4x8 for my girls. I went 6x6 side by side. But 4x8 double will be next time

I am very happy with the 4x8, with a 6x6 I wouldn't have been able to cover my whole area with light like I want to. downside of using air cooled hoods and double ended in a tent. things seem to be going really well though. Hopefully they continue to do so, thanks for stopping by!

Yea I have 2 600 raptors. And both 6x6 and 4x8 wanted to use double ended in the 4x8 but my big fat glp plant needed the extra 4sqft of the 6x6.

It's not all its cracked up to be, I'm an independent contractor so it's a little better, got tired of working for companies, the industry is full of "master growers" that don't know shit about growing and try and get u fired when u suggest easier or new methods that can be implemented because they are scares that your gonna take their job, that and the constant passive aggressiveness from company owners, I've seen it all, I wish it was the dream job of my childhood but it's not, sorry if it crushes your hopes a little but it's best to just keep growing your own and not let your dreams be crushed by these crazy corporate fucks.
