Nice man, what style you going? F&D, DWC? Aero, hydro really is more tuneable. Hows your electric service, reliable?
I'm going for the Aeroponic/NFT system aka Aeroflo from GHE, I will however build my own system using various DIY I saved on the web and combining the best features to get the best results.
Yea there's like been 1 blackout in Amsterdam in the past 20 years and in the past 6 here I've never experience power shortage of any kind.. So I'm good.

Pt 2

Pre-chop pics. They could use a couple more days maybe but I'm moving soon so they gotta go. Really happy with how they turned out, I feel like I hardly even paid attention to them this time.

fuckin beautiful man!!!! i would LOVE to open up my closet and see that!!!
haha I enjoy it lol Here's the Pineapple harvest pics though they look smaller then they do in real life. Hoping there's 8 oz of pe off these 3 plants, but we'll c. Goal is 1 LB under the 600. Won't have the LA down for a day or two, lots of work. Dry weights will be posted Sunday or Monday probably.

hefty hefty man :weed: :clap:

looks so damn good. +rep if I can
my god man
SG, that's a beautiful harvest man!! absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks for the compliments everyone, think this is my best round yet.
sg,i was hoping you could tell me what ppm's you run in your res for weeks 1,2,3,EXT.i just got my ppm pen and want a good base line to run on,thanks
I like to run 1.2-1.7 EC in veg and then flower
Week 1: 1.7 EC
2: 1.9
3: 2.0-2.2
4: 2.0-2.2
5: 2.0
6: 2.0
7: 1.6
8: 0 or close as possible, flush

Oh and to convert EC to ppm 500, its EC X .5 X 1000, so 2 EC = 1000ppm

EDIT: Also should mention those EC's include my 0.4EC tap, so if ur using RO or distilled subtract that from each value.

The LA has been cut and is hanging along with the PE. Here's a closeup of each drying...LA grows crazy calyx towers.

The Afgan Kush is lookin good although she needs a couple weeks to finish up yet.

And the vegging clones are looking great. These have been rooted for 3.5 weeks so far...

what up good buddy!
hey if you dont mind me asking what kind of light is that you are using for veg? it looks like a 2' or 4' 8 light t5 joint, is that correct. if so which is it and how many lumens are you getting. i was at home depot yesterday and bought a t8 fixture that holds six 4' bulbs(25 bucks), which will give me right at 16,500k lumens, with two t12 4' fixtures that hold two bulbs each, an additional 12k. that will bring me up to 28,500k lumens, which is like 1k less than my hortilux 400mh, and a hell of lot cooler, but is that enough "flourescent lighting" to veg properly? because by the looks of it you are getting a very good veg with what youve got. i'm just not that sold on flourescents for vegging, but i am starting to buy into it by the looks of your setup. hope mine fares as well as your. its just that with this summer heat i'm trying to find different ways to beat it.hit me back with your opinion or advice, thanks in advance.

Btw nice harvest man, is there a round five journal in the making?


PEACE!!!

Yeah I think it will be in order once I move to my new place. Maybe I'll just make a perpetual journal because I go through harvests so often now lol. The fixture I got is a 432w 8 tube, 4 ft t5 HO fixture. It was 230 from the grow store including bulbs. It puts out 40,000 lumens. As you can see by the pics, it's a little more concentrated on the center then edges... I'm trying to cram too many plants under it, I would say 8-10 would be better, I have 12 under it right now, hence the parabolic canopy shape.

O and to beat the heat, lots of A/C and then u just bend over for the electric bills. Just got one for 330 for 29 days of use, SHIT!

damn! 330 huh? wow!
i think one of those fixtures wil be in order pretty soon.
but as far as the 28,500k lumens, you think that'll be enough? like i said my hortilux 400mh is around 29k.
i'm just a little iffy because they are t8 and t12 bulbs and not t5's, but they are all 6500k temp though. hit me back bro, and give me your opinion on that.
oh yea got my 8x8 tent with my two 600's set up with the 12k btu unit inside, so i will be getting some of that good 'ol POWER PLANT PIPE to bro, real soon.............i'm so scared!LOL. 330 sound like a lot of pipe to take.

Yeah it'll be enough. But as u know the more the better. I vegged 6 clones under 64w of t8 flouro, hurt my final yield a little but it worked. The 400mh was much better and the 432 flouro seems comparable.

ok, ok, ok i guess we'll see then, hey thanks for the speedy reply bro.

P.S. i think i might try to mimmick your grow to see if my results can be at leat 3/4 as good as yours.
and "FUCK YEA" you need to start a perpetual grow journal. because your pretty damn close to it
already.
