Buds are starting to come in on the pre-98 bubba. It does look like crap from the sun burn, but it is doing great, see the bud pic. I've been putting a lot of bottled ice in the tank lately, and I can really tell the roots appreciate it, lots of new, bright white sprouts growing out of the brownish mass. Nutes are around 2500-3000 PPM and pH 5.7.

The OG Kush is freakin fat as hell. I snipped off 3 branches to go for clones, I'm going to let it grow another week or so and then put her into bloom. Currently, I have her flattened out to about a 3ft wide x 2ft deep x 6-8" tall, wicked SOG. Just using twine to tie it down to the lid over and over. Nutes I've cranked up to about 4000 PPM and pH is at about 5.7. Interestingly, I would say the OG Kush, which is getting 24/7 light smells much stronger than the Bubba; I can't wait to put this baby in bloom.

Also, is a pic of a Blue Dream. It is starting to take off. Nutes are around 1200 ppm and pH is at 5.7. I predict in about 2 weeks, it will look a lot like my OG Kush. hehehe.

Finally, a pic of some new Blue Dream Hydro clones I took from another plant. They got a little dry today, hence the droopiness, nothing a little water won't fix (I hope). I through them in some pH'd tap water and will start moving the pH down once I see they have recovered.

I do have 3 pre-98 bubba clones going now, didn't feel like taking a pic, but I assure you, they look fantastic.

So Bubba Kush is about 3 1/2 weeks into bloom and looking great. Roots are really starting to recover from the bout of root rot I had earlier. Nutes are around 25-3000 PPM and pH is about 5.7.

OG Kush is doing fantastic. I just made a halo out of 2 metal clothes hangars, layed it over the plant, and used it to do some LST/SoG. This one plant is now about a 3ft diameter circle x 8'' thick. Nutes are around 45000 PPM and pH is about 5.7. I'm going to Veg it for another week or so and then put her in bloom. So excited for this one.

So its been a little bit since I last posted. I have family in town, so I'm going a little stealth right now.

Pre-98 Bubba is doing really good now. My pH kept dropping over the 4th weekend, and I didn't have any pH up, so I had to wait until Monday to go get some. Blah. Anyways, its doing much better now, pH is around 5.5, still trying to raise it up to 5.7-5.8, PPM is around 3500.

OG Kush is looking a little droopy, not really sure why. I'm hoping its an root oxygen issue, I did notice my "airstone" (which brings me to another point, see below) had come loose and was floating at the surface. PPM is around 4500 (pulled back from around 5500 and was doing fine), and pH is about 6.0. I'll be putting it into flower as soon as my family leaves.

The original Blue Dream is now doing great and is in full growth mode. PPM is about 1600 and pH is about 5.7. I've started LST on it, won't be long until it looks like my OG Kush, hehe.

Finally, the OG Kush and Blue Dream clone transplants are doing OK. Not roots yet though.

Oh yeah, and has anyone else had a hard time finding the 6" long blue airstones? I can't find them anywhere; I've been to a couple different Walmart and pet stores and can't find them. Only the stupid 1" white nobs that float to the surface. I had to buy mini suction cups with hooks on them to stick them to the bottom. But then they get dislodged sometimes and float to the surface, slowly drowning my roots.
