OK....we're now 17 days from the day the beans cracked and everything seems to be doing well. Even the one baby that was a little deformed seems to be coming around.

I'm running my nutes (AN Sensi A & B, VooDoo Juice and Carboload) @ 250PPM and from all signs I seem to right where I need to be. Any higher and I see small signs of nute burn. I don't know what it is about these aerotubs but they always seem to use nutes very efficiently. Previous grows have taught me that by the 5th week of veg-ing I can run between 600 and 700ppm but no higher.

I'll be veg-ing a little longer this time (maybe 6-8 weeks depending on preflowers) in hopes of getting a few healthy clones. The clone cabinet is currently being used for 2 clones I took from the last grow although due to unfortunate circumstances those clones were taken after flowering was well under way. Needless to say the time to revert back to the veg state is taking forever although I do see signs that the veg cycle has begun.

Lighting is still (2) 400w MH for the 2 tubs. Last weekend I installed a new RO system which is working extremely well. It seems much easier to maintain PH with RO water. I'm running at 5.7-5.8 with very little adjustment needed each day.

You may ask why I'm growing 5 in each tub when I have 6 pots in each. Well....previously I had read several postings regarding the poor success rate of Nirvana seeds. I'd never tried Nirvana before and assumed I might have the same poor luck as a few others who have posted here. Due to the limited space (4'x5') I thoght if I germ'd 5 of each (Papaya and Hindu Kush) and ended up with 3 of each I'd have more than enough room for 1 tub. However, this was not the case and I can only assume that the poor percentage others have had was not because the beans were defective. All 5 beans of each cracked and I needed to add a second aerotub. Rarely do I hope for males but this time I need a little more space and wouldn't be upset if a few boys had to be cut down. Hopefully I'll be able to spot preflowers soon enough and can thin out the plants giving the remaining fems more room.

Pictures below are at 17 days from beans.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
