quick bud shot....

things comming along nicely except for a ph
jump.

i neglected to check the ph for a week er so
and when i did it had jumped up to 8.0
again....added sum stabilizer and dropped it
to 6.8 ish....

def gotta keep an eye on that now tho.

otherwise Yum yum.....

Heres a few more bud shots i took while i
was changing the res...

i decided it would be good just to get a clean
mix in there so i could run fresh water/nutes
for the last couple weeks

how often are you changeing the nutes?

LightFusion · #16 03-04-2009, 03:23 PM

for the first 5 weeks or so i was changing the res once a week. So i was just dumping out the old solution and making a new one with fresh water and nutes.

for the last couple weeks i've been just adding nutes every 4 days, every other time i add water.

heres sum tric shots i took today, still all clear but thats good. i want big buds =P

hey man the ak's are looking shweet! how far along are they now? you harvested them girls yet?

LightFusion · #18 03-11-2009, 03:24 PM

Well i'm at Day 61ish (pretty sure)

of day 70-80.

I'm thinking i have another 2 weeks to go
The hairs on the lower buds are turning amber
and the two plants in the middle are playing
catchup, they got a little crowed and root bound
but i increased the res size by 3-4 gallons
by cutting a hole in the bottom of another
rubbermaid and stacking them ontop of each
other. They look delicious.

I might have to wait 3 weeks to harvest them
however, I'm going to be in Bristol at the
nascar race next weekend so we will see
how ready they are by then, i'm looking
for more of a couch lock high anyway so
letting them sit a little longer shouldn't hurt
to much.

Anyway heres sum pics, you can tell which plant has to play catchup as the
main cola is just starting to develop.

If you keep feeding them nutes they'll never finish. Even nitric acid in the pH down will will wreck that shit. You wanna go water only for the last 3 weeks and use phosphoric acid to adjust the pH; otherwise I would suggest you not even adjust the pH and go water only; distiled or reverse osmosis would be ideal.

Thanks for the tip, it would be good if i could stretch it out for a week so i'll actually be in town to check them.
Next week i will do a complete wash and use only water and get sum good ph down.
