So heres the deal, this is my second attempt with this setup. I changed a few things around this time and im getting much better results already. On my first go res temps soared into the low 80's at times and sure enough i got root rot about 2 weeks in. This time i threw together a DIY water chiller made from a mini fridge, inline water pump w/ vinyl tube and its working great!(i made a diy thread for this if your interested) I keep my res at a steady 65 degrees and ambient room temps are 75-85. I also added another air pump now totaling 2-7.4L dual outlet pumps with 2 small round eco stones on one and a 2' flexible tube bubbler on the other (lots of bubbles!). All of this is in a 5gal bucket with 6" net pot w/ hydroton. I rooted the clone in rockwool under cfls and moved it to my bubbler with a 150w hps when it rooted. Im growing her in a 16" sq. box with a desktop fan intake and a 4" duct booster exhaust/light cooler. Im going to go crazy this time and throw in a 400w lumatek digi that i have if i can keep temps down. Ill probably start with the 250w super lumens setting and go from there. Im running a 400w super HPS eye hortilux in a cool tube with the lumatek, I will be doing LST and scrog into a 13" sq screen i built. FF nutes/bennies, full line of solubles and liquids + cal mag and carbo load. So heres some pics, pull up a chair and see if i can pull this one off this time, any suggestions are welcome. Ive grown for years in soil harvesting over 6oz dry wt. from one plant with a 400w hps for veg+bloom using scrog. in a small cab. grow. Ill be updating as progress comes along. Thx for stopping by!

Thats what ill be training my plant into before i flower. Look up scrog (screen of green) for more info. Its a great way to maximize yields in small and large spaces and also give even light distribution.

Day 16
IMAG0635.jpgIMAG0637.jpgI switched from tap water to R/O water yesterday and immediately started seeing Calcium deficiency. I started with 5ppm water and added cal mag+ bringing the ppm to 100. That clearly wasn't enough. Im going to up the cal mag and see what happens. My tap water reads 220ppm so maybe ill add cal mag to that number to start.

day 21
IMAG0649.jpgIMAG0650.jpgIMAG0651.jpgOk, so i finally figured out the calcium situation and shes looking much better and putting on lush new growth again. I start with 5ppm R/O water and bring it up to 250 with cal mag+ then add all my Fox Farm nutes to total 900ppm then adjust ph to 5.8. All of the new growth shows no signs of def or burn so im going to keep it here til my next res change and keep a close eye on her. I also spray her with SNS 203 every 5 days as a preventative measure for bugs and so far so good. You can also use it as a drench for your medium and it works great. Roots are continuing to send out new shoots and there also putting on lots of new fine hairs. Its kind of embarrassing fucking up and posting it all here but this is the reality of many grows, trial and error and experimenting. I try and learn something new daily to keep my lady happy! Ill keep the updates coming and hopefully she thrives.

Going to back off the ppm to 400 again. Just trying to find her sweet spot with nutes is a little tedious. Ph still at 5.5-6.0IMAG0609.jpg
. Im able to maintain temps with the chiller and my a/c so im expecting some big results in this little box. Built the screen today. going to put it in maybe next week. Ill go for 50% of the screen full before i flip so i dont get in over my head. Now were all up to date, so what do you guys think so far? Im looking forward to a little monster! BTW the strain is called blackberry widow, a hybrid that can have hints of purple sometimes and super frosty compact colas.
