A Suprise update.

In case anyone ever noticed that the second Piss plant Had kinda just disappeared out of my grow room, it didn't just die. I was doing my own little attempt at an outdoor grow. The plant was moved outside without and gradual immersion. The plant was grow indoors for about a month until it was about 7 inches tall. I planted it outside of my girlfriends dad's house(with his permission) and watered it. About 2 weeks later I came and poured a gallon of my veg food on it and let it be. It has been outside for about 6 weeks now, and today was the second time I checked on it. To my suprise, it was about 3.5-4 feet tall. I again soaked the soil around it with another gallon of my new nutrients(GH Flora Series). Growth is incredible when compared to my piss plant in my grow room still(indoor ones is about 16 inches tall). And it is completely healthy(healthier than my indoor). Here are some pics(words dont mean shit). Sorry they aren't my usual high quality. I took them with my cell phone(HTC Tilt). In the taller pic, you can see my white, standard sized gallon jug that you can kinda use as a scale refrence.




Keep in mind this plant has only been checked on twice in 6 weeks and as of today, has been fed twice. Another update in a few weeks(dont get out that way often) Next time I'll bring my camera for some good close-ups. Didnt this time because I figured it was dead, or at best, not picture worthy.

I know. When the set in the screen finishes, I am grabbing a nice Hanna Ph/EC/TDS/Temp meter from the local grow store. $200 for that bad boy. And at the moment, It is fairly difficult to change the tub under the screen for many reasons. 1st: The screen is way overgrown making it so I cant lift It as high because the buds hit the glass. 2nd: My grow room is a crawlspace that is only 3feet 4inches tall, you can only imagine the headache this creates moving tubs in and out and 3rd: I only have access from the front which makes moving the airstone and getting a new tub in a difficult 2 man project. When these girls are done, I am adding drain fittings to the tubs and attaching the air stones to the tub instead of being routed through the lid. Then I am going to use an inline pump to drain the tub and simply fill it back up with gallon jugs. I have a feeling this will make it much esier.

thats looks good for not being watched over, its way too hot in az to start anything outside..

i had a really hard time changing the water when i had a scrog over a dwc too , thats why i asked.. i only have the TDS one.. it works great but i dont know if i have to calibrate it.. i never seemed to have a problem w/ PH but dont check anymore so i wouldn't know if i had a problem.. thats a tiny room but you are doing it pretty big.. still can't stop looking at your buds.. i might get a aircooled 400 HPS because of you lol

Im in the midwest and it usually gets pretty hot here in summer too, but we have been lucky and had a very moderate summer. Only a couple of days in the 90's so far. I just checked it again yesterday and its grown about a foot in the last week. Havve pics of it in the new update tonight(Week 21) and with the next post here below, this grow log is all caught up.

yeah I have a local buddy that grows with a 1000wHPS and it really pisses him off to see what I produce with only a 400w. I have no comparison, but I believe the Son Agro bulb helps with my outcome. Having the blue spectrum mixed and having better red output than a HPS.

yeah i was plannin on getting that Son Agro bulb too.. i'm moving soon so i should be able to cool my room plus have the air cooled light should keep my temps way down, atleast thats the plan lol

Week 20 update




Another in a series of busy weeks in the grow room. I am setting all of my mothers up as hydro and half are already done. I used 2 gallon buckets i picked up in the local paint department, a 3.5 inch heavy duty net pot, and a 5 inch air disc. I just teed off of existing air lines for these pots. All 3 of the seedlings(Mango, Blue Mystic, Mazar) were given there own buckets, and then a very generous friend gave me 9 clones from his proven and amazing Blue Kush mother. I intend on keeping one as my mother and using 6 of the others for my next grow. I dont know if anyone has had the chance to smoke this shit, but it is amazing. I haven just discarded my Blue Kush bag seed plant, since it branches so well. Waiting to see how the sexing one goes. And my WW1&2 mothers are turning into full fledged trees. The WW3 clones are growing completely normal and at an alarming speed. The Hydro one is over double the size of the soil one, but both look fantastic, and were the only plants that were almost imune to the nutrient burn that all of the other plants suffered from. What good genetics(beat and starved its entire life, clones taken from half dead plant 3 weeks into flowering, and suffering through nutrient burn caused by water contamination) and it is still the best looking plant in the grow room.











The WW1&2 clones are now 8 weeks into flowering. They are still recovering from the nutrient burn, but bud growth is going well. They are geting more of a potent smell than the WW3 plant. Trichome growth is really taking off and the buds are getting frosty. The Piss and my Blue Kush are a week into sexing. The Kush has doubled in height over the last week. Really looking forward to this harvest and the next, since it is a shorter flowering time. Thanks for tuning in. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Ok, the journal is finally caught up to my current status. A new update will be posted late tonight. Thanks to all of the readers and people who have posted in this thread.

do you see the money you put in to CO2? if you know what i mean..

I will know shortly. I have had a tank for a while now. But tried to use a makeshift regulator and ended up emptying the whole 20lb. bottle in under 24 hours. I refilled it again changed the regulator and the same thing happened again. Then, last week, I ordered an actual co2 regulator for plants with the electronic solenoid and am still wating for it to show up. Tank is filled and waiting, so in the next week or two, I should have a better idea. When i first started this grow i enriched with dry ice for a week, and it was a noticable difference then.
