UPDATE- TWO 18 Gallon Roughnecks hold all my plants now. One 5 inch airstone in each as you can see in the roots pics. 3 plants are 5 weeks and the other six plants are going into their 3rd week this Saturday. I am taking best care of the oldest three which all happened to be fems. The oldest will veg for 3 or four more weeks so 8 or 9 weeks of veg for them and 6 or 7 for the younger plants.

man roots and plants look great. how big is your room? How often you change your res? And you don't check your ph daily? Only when you change res.

My room is 2ft 10 inches by 3ft 7 inches and it is like 15ft tall. Truthfully I never have checked the ph. I only add more water if the nutes are too strong and have never had problems where i needed to read the PH. I will change my reservoirs to just water when it is a week before flowering time so then I can just add in the bloom nutes to the water when it is time to flower. My 5 inch airstones help keep it clean along with no messy nutrients. I will usually add a gallon every 2 or 3 days to each reservoir i keep the levels really high then they go down fast then right back up because my plants are thirsty hoes!

Highlife,

Are General Hydroponics Maxigro and MaxiBloom and koolbloom organic nutrients or inorganic nutrients? I am going to be using a lil bit of h202 and its not compatible w/ organic nutes. Just wanted to check before I purchase. Thanks man, ill be starting my grow journal once my clones root. Your DIY is awesome, keep growin' DANK!

They r NOT organic. you will be fine. I am using h202 to get rid of browning slime in my tank I really think to be caused by my ph up and down solution. In between res changes I only use a tiny bit.

thanks koolhand good lookin out, ill be picking these up today then.

Update- Cleaned Reservoirs wow what a tedious task to empty and clean two 18 gallon tubs but there was barely any residue thanks to maxigro powder ad the 5 inch airstones. I have trimmed and broke off so many leaves that are too low or dying these things are humongous. Fresh water and 1/4th tsp per gallon of maxibloom was added because I am going to put the plants in the dark for 24 hours to simulate the winter change then they will be on 12/12 lighting to flower and this is when I will add a bit of KoolBloom to my maxibloom mix. :0

Just look at the roots of this indica, (indicas have much bigger roots than any most sativas), This is the same plants roots shot from both sides. Wish i could hold it up and get a full pic of all the roots hanging, just need a third hand.



Here is from left to right, one indica-big roots above-, three sativas with chopped tops, two small hidden rooted clones, and one more indica on the rights end.I have 5 other plants in another 18 gallon rthat are all tall sativas.I also have 6 clones in a little bubblecloner I made as well.
