General Hydroponics nutes which I am already familiar with. I'll be adding a P supplement, specifically Canna PK 13-14 as suggested by the great Al B. in weeks 3-4.

As for lighting, what do you think of this deal? Just for the flowering area, it's the best deal I've seen on a T5 fixture in a while. Remember, this is a SMALL budget op, desperate almost : P


plus rep for the shameless honesty

You'll need at least a 4 tube fixture for flowering.

I agree with both of you, and by the looks of my math (assuming its correct of course) I should be able to easily fit three 2-tube fixtures over my flood table, resulting in 30,000 lumens for my flowering area. That is aprox. 3,529 lumens per square foot (area is 8.5 square ft), just over the minimum line. And considering the buds I grew with just five 26watt CFLs were DANK, just not dense, I think it will turn out excellent.

Btw, here is the about-to-be-harvested fem that I'm thinking of revegging for the beginning of this SoG. My only problem may be that it tipped over during a weak period, and that combined with the RW cube being oversaturated and basically going to mush, allowed the entire base of the plant to twist and tip over distorting the actual cube. Does anyone have any advice for this? Will she just need to be tied in place until she bears enough children to replace her? Thanks for the support guys~

She is actually standing up good and fine now that I've harvested her in prep for the reveg. I also took a wider picture to show the complete lighting setup - however, I am aware there could be ALOT more light, keep in mind I am transitioning right now. This veg area will be rebuilt in the next couple weeks, so this is just a temporary rig.

My main concern - how does my trim job look? I did leave her bigger than most revegs I have seen, simply because I was not going to tackle the root mass right away. With the root mass staying the same size, I thought it would be good to leave her slightly bigger so as not to overwhelm her with the nutrient intake her big root mass will still have. I also hypothesize that she will be ready for cloing sooner since there are more buds to produce new growth through. We will have to see about this though in time.
~Also: should I keep the large bud on the left side of the pic, or should I just say fuck it and take it? I cant decide how beneficial it would be...

Following trimming, I gave her 12 hours of darkness, and am starting her on 20/4 today. I'll keep feeding her a diluted form of her veg nutes until I'm sure she is doing well enough to handle a higher strength.

Eventually she will be moved down to an 8" or so, most likely resuing the hydroton after I wash it. I do plan on using floc (granulated rockwool) with the future SoG.

I just wanted to take a moment and say, four 26w CFLs and a lone T5 have gotten me by for a long time, and I realize my nugs could be denser and my yields bigger but I am happy. So if you're a new grower reading this, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! *ahem* At the same time, I am upgrading to stronger CFLs for the veg area and better quality fixtures and lights for the flowering area. This is an experiment for all of us.

As always, thanks for reading and sharing~

Check the bottle. I thought it says weeks 5 plus only.

Sorry, things in the personal life got a little hectic over the last couple weeks Here's a quick rundown:

Reveg is currently on Mild vegetative nutes, once a day. She is burning, so I plan to flush her and give her even weaker nutes. Humidity is kind of low in there so I spray un-nute water on her once a day and am monitoring for mold.

This is the middle of her third week into revegging and the leaf burning is the only change so far. I don't expect any new growth for another 4 weeks or so. But this is my first reveg, so we'll just have to wait and watch.

What I am most concerned with is the condition of the rock wool. There appears to be a formation, almost like mold but harder than it, on the top layer. Any thoughts? Thanks for keeping up.

Also, I have decided to invest the extra monopoly money and go for the Pioneer VI, aiming for that 3,000 lumens/ square foot
