Lol BG your crack me up man. I'm just glad having you guys here the rep doesn't mean much.
So I battled some "algae" again. I say it like that because I think its algae, but its almost clear which I thought could just be form the lack of much light. It wasn't nearly as bad this time, but it was still there. I realized that my cooler I'm using as a res may be holding alot more heat then my old tote did. Usually the water in my res is noticably cold to the touch, tonight it felt luke warm. Sooooo I cleaned out all the algae with a skimmer, took my pump out and stripped it down and cleaned it again cleaned the residue in the tray out, and drained half my res and refilled it. I also covered the rest of my tray that doesn't have plants in it with panda film to keep the light off it. I'm hoping the panda film helps to keep the temps lower since less heat should build up in the water without the light hitting it. I'm gonna freeze some bottles of water and try to get my temps back down. If this continues to be an issue I'll be looking for something else to use as a res, even if it means spending the money and buying a real one, and or looking into a chiller though I don't really want to run any more electric.
Well aside from that the plants look really good. The critical jack isn't stretching as much as I was expecting, but its gonna have 4 really nice buds on it I think from the node spacing. Next week I'm gonna be putting another 10 plants in I think, and perhaps 15 more 1-2 weeks later. This will have my tray FULL, and sadly I won't be harvesting the current batch till may so its gonna be full for awhile not that thats a bad thing I suppose. I can say for sure that the 4 headed WW that is still in the tray is starting to pack some weight on finally. I noticed tonight it was leaning against the stakes I have around it. It seems to be enjoying the higher ppm I'm running in the tray now. Its got another week on it, but i might leave it for 2 just for fun if there is still much of fresh growth.
Well guys I'm about to go the the local Mardi Gras celebration this town has, hope you all have a great night I'll prolly talk to you guys tomorrow!
Peace TC
Edit: Oh ya I was also pleased to say that one of the 2 SDG broke ground today so I've got at least one if I don't kill it lol.
