Hello! Its been a little while since my last grow. But here are some pics of my last crop of AK-47 3rd gen from a friend.

I have never ran a fog system before this so this is charting new waters for me. Any advice will be helpful. I have run into one semi problem with the fog filling my tent. It brings my RH% from 50-55% to around 65%-70%. But I think a fan or two should fix that.

Now for the specs on flowering tent and mom closet. In the closet I am running two floro's one is a dual bulb t5 the other is just some floro i got on ebay. Nutrient less soil mixed with a very generous amount of perlite and a little verm. ( I suck at soil ). Small fan and a little homemade 12 site fog cloner.

For the nutrients I am using GH N-P-K three part for the fogger, Fox Farm line for soil. Myco Madness for root development, Super Thrive and Root Tech Gel for cloning.

The Tents Specs are, 6" inline silent fan, ducting RH/Temp meter, 1000watt HPS Enhanced red spectrum bulb, Cooled reflector, Home made Fogger system there is nothing like it on the market my personal design, if you would like to know how to build ask and you shall receive. Running a Tri Meter for PH/EC/Res Temp. hmmm oh and to remove the salty fog from the tent i am running ducting into a 5gal bucket with towels to filter the h20/salts so i don't salt my house to hell and back. The towels should act just like a filter once they get damp; we will see how it works the fan is a little small so it is not doing the best job of pulling the air out.

As far as the babies you saw at the topish we are going on our 4th day of cloning. I ran into a few problems in the beginning, I had tried to throw them under the 1k hps in the tent but i managed to stress the hell out of them and make them all wilt over in less than an hour. So thats why they looked so screwed up :-(. Patitence is not one of my strongest virtues. But all is well and my babies are strong, by day 10ish I am expecting to see some nice root's, they are already gradually swelling on the bottem so yeah...

More Updates to come! Post away

:eyesmoke: Oops! Lol left out some very important info. I feel like a genius. Anyway, the moms from left to right are Lemon Skunk, Hash Plant Haze, MK Ultra being the new girl. In the cloner from left to right 1st row is HPH along with the 2nd and 4th row of three. The third row from left to right is the Lemon Skunk. Also forgot to add the feeding regiment for those who are not experienced I am using H2O ph 7.0-7.1, ppm is 110-120, temp is around 70 because of the size of the container, which actually helps for the whole cloning thing speeds up the process. Using tap water it should be distilled hence the 110-120 ppm. But super thrive 1/4 tsp per gal. until i see some roots. I am then going to go with 1/4 tsp , 1/4 tsp , 1/4 tsp of the GH line, and a ph of 6.0ish when I see some roots emerge.

Lighting in the closet is at 18 on 6 off alot of people like to go 24/0, My reasoning for not doing this is simple. How would you like to stay up 24/7 with light in your eyes.... that is exactly how your plants prob. feel, I noticed a huge diff in root structure on my last grow compared to my friend who was running 24 on. The dark period helps stimulate root growth big time.

What is my thread, Chopped liver and onions? Shame shame, anyway I have an issue before i put the babies in I need to get every thing running smooth.

I have a serious issue with the fog seeping out everywhere bongsmilie. Here are some pic's since i could not upload a video. I am thinking bigger fan pulls more surface area= no more fog issue need people to give me your opinions. "Two heads are better than one" I know the answer buy a 100 dollar inline fan to pull the hell out of it but i am now on a budget. Least thats what my woman tells me :confused:. Plus I cant have too much noise coming from the "special room" in case we get visitors.

Fog issue:

Keep in mind this is the build up from running the system for less than ten min. It will be on 24/7 and after an hour the fog build up is quite out of hand X X.

Last night the babies put out roots, still in h20 with superthrive only. Today I just put 11 of 12 babies in one did'nt put out any roots nor did it look like it would. Two still might not make it but survival of the fittest in my world. Also added one more fogger probably dont need it but oh well. I will have pics when I switch over to flower here I am doing minimal veg, so more pics soon.

P.S I feel like a retard filter goes in the tent duh.... Fog build up solved. I will be adding nutes tomorrow or the next day.
