Had a real scare today. The one Jack Herer indica pheno looking plant practically died on me. I contemplated quitting growing after seeing this. I thought I searched for everything that could have caused this. So I started ripping apart shit to make another DWC since the plants were so big and it was time for some space and low and behold the second airline on my air pump is shot. Luck would have it, it didn't have enough pressure to get air right underneath my one plant.
A friend was trying to talk me into buying a "real" air pump the other day, and I put it off cause I wasn't able to decide on which one to get.
About as smart as putting bad ass rims on a hyandai. Time to buy a real air pump.

Sorry to hear about your little girl...That can def. be demoralizing.
So did you nurse her back to health...it looks like there is still hope.

My air pump also failed the other day. Cheap EcoPlus brand crap. I went and got a Tetra from WalMart and some extra air stones. Not only does the new one fit better, its a much more quality product. (although I now hear thats the one that gave YOU the problems, oh well....well see)
Hope all goes well with your plants recovery. I think it should snap out of it.

If I wasn't in a pinch with time I would definately have ordered the 60 watt air pump. The piston driven kind for sure. I was looking at 1-2 weeks for delivery and I can't wait that long. I'm going to flower all these plants small since I have no clue what kind of stretch I'm going to get on some of them. I only have about 6 foot height to work with.
I'm going to get some black white poly tomorrow and construct the bathtub grow. My bathtub I have back there is 5x5 or 4x4 circular but it's raised, so there in lies my height problem. We'll see what happens.

why hight problem? a basic house have to have atleast a 8ft ceiling, plus the reflecter so your down to 7 then 1-2 ft away from reflector and thats 5ft you have.

Almost complete. I have the lights hung, all the containers in there, flowering everything but 2 mothers of white russian. The only thing left I have to do is run the duct work, but I need to wait till next week to get a new fan. Not a cheap hobby at times. The white russians I had in that shower cubicle stretched something fierce. 3 of them were clones and were way smaller, but I wanted something to fill them. Hopefully I get something worth while off of them.

Cut a little and smoked it. Them boys that made that White Russian
.
I'm thinking 2 to 3 more weeks.
I know the pics suck with the HPS on but I'm 2 lazy.
Trichs along the stem, on top of the leaves, and it looks like a "white cloud" almost like mold there is so much white shit growing on the underside of the fan leaves coming out.

yeah, the white russian is a pretty good strain. found it to be a delight to grow. not really understanding why you are getting a big "stretch". I was able to keep mine very low in a SOG style...outdoors. good luck with your future endeavors.
