3400 watts and a lady named Albert

lordjin
Yes! This is the stuff right here.

Things are looking stellar again. Everything looks clean and tight just like last time. And those yellow clone boxes are a great addition.

I have had a few people say that they are jealous of me in my journal, but if I'm jealous of you, what does that make you?

Interesting details on your process btw. Very informative. Your journal should def be viewed by all.

Bumpy bump.

Edit:

And for God's Sake, watch out for mold this time!

Geeze jin, you sure know how to make a guy blush. haha. Also, we are going to keep a super close eye on any mold issues this time. Hopefully we took enough precautions this time. We're thinking of adding those sulfur burners later in flower. Anybody have any experience with those?

Jin, I think thats why he added a dehumidifier... and 3 new wall fans.

sudynim,
thanks for all of the tips. I actually went online and made a shopping cart with what pchydro had based off your list. I printed your list and checked off what I could find. I really appreciate your help. I think I am going to stay away from soil and go with recirculating res/hydroton though. other than that, I'd like to build your system in my room which is also 10x15. I have 4x4 trays and two 1000w lights. check out my grow (sig) for more info. I would like to spend thousands but will have to build hundreds at a time. I will private message you so I don't get flamed for hijacking your journal.

here is the link for a comparable trimeter at $168. Jin found this and I'm sharing it here. http://www.home-hydroponics.co/ND110...-ND1100042.htm

staying tuned,

Don't worry about hijacking this thread. It is not a very popping journal if you hadn't noticed. A lot of that has to do with my once a week updating, but I'm okay with that. I honestly feel like it's better for everyone to see than for just one person. I might end up giving advice that someone else would think is ridiculous. Having said that, I looked at your shopping list and I will give you feedback tomorrow. I'll also post some pics of the inline fans.

Thanks man, and how do you like the totes for your grow? How many plants are you running per box?

Oh for sure. It is amazing how you go from feeling like an amateur to feeling super confident in no time flat. In this grow we are trying all sorts of new things. It is pretty fun. How much did you end up yielding off that grow?

Click to expand...

Indeed, but I still need another few grows under my belt before I can add the "super" before my confidence lol I'm still not done chopping up my girls yet but the cheese alone yielded 14 1/2 zips between the 4 of them. The tally on the rest won't be done for another week or two.

Your grow looks frickin amazinggggggg......

You said you only fed 75% nutes on your last grow and this time you're going over 100%. What changed that you are able to feed so much this time around? Was it just the lights?

They're very sturdy, they don't bulge with 20 gallons in them and the lids are really strong!
I connected two with 2" pvc and uni-seals.
I went with plants 6 per tote, I need to make something to keep the roots separated now that they're getting bigger. I like the way you staggered 4 to a tote you should have less problems with root tangle than I will.
Your grows lookin' nice!

Last time our Lemon Drops and Sour Diesel's would show really bad nutrient burn if we were anywhere close to 1400ppm. We never had problems with the AK's or Cheese's, but since they were all on one nutrient cycle we were never able to experiment.

Sudynim - What PPM are you running currently? Looking sweet btw, I would expect no less. Tip - Home and Garden Root Excelurator will up your cloning % to stellar zone in my experience...

The first week of veg we kept the nutrients around 1000ppm, but have steadily increased it week by week. In the last couple weeks we have taken it up from 1400 to 1500 and they are still thriving and showing no signs of damage. Also, it was our first time cloning so we didn't want to buy a $90 bottle of solution when we weren't confident in our cloning ability. The next project we have going on is to build our own 50 site cloner. Lastly, our local grow show guy suggested we bump the nutrients up to 1700 in the last two weeks of flower. What do you think?

That looks very nice. I'm excited for our roots to start shooting out of the bottom. Right now I am a little concerned with the amount of space we have in the veg room. I am wondering if they will grow awkwardly and not perform well once they move to flower. We shall see...

I finally sent you a pm about your shopping list. I have been busy the last couple days, so it has been difficult respond. I will take a picture of the inline fan system tonight when the lights come on. Don't hold me to that though

Ahhh so it was just the strains not allowing for a stronger feed... makes sense.

Bumpety-bump all the way to 14-1800 I say, and hit 'em with more Metal Halide for the last 2 weeks as well - but that's just obnoxious coaching from the peanut gallery here on the sidelines...

it's like dirty talk:

I'm going with another week of 1500ppm, and next week I will walk it up to 1600 then 1700 ect. Maybe the next grow we will go with 1800 for a majority of it, but I am too much of a pussy to try four weeks in to flower.


Weekly group shot


A little reference to how big they have become.


A little close up of the girls.


The veg room. They are growing slow, but they have roots shooting out of the bottom.



....................................................

I almost forgot, here is a picture of some of the roots coming out of the bottom of our veg girls.

The girls are getting hairy! (sounds like something Hugh Hefner might have said back in the 70s...) Good job Sudynim!

Killer, dude.

Sorry I didn't get to my regular Monday update, but I have been pretty sick recently and caring for the girls is about all I can muster. Anyway, the vertical growth has seemed to stop and now the buds are filling in nicely.

I do have some pics that I want you guys to look at on the bottom here. My mother plant seems to be wilting in a lot of spots. Anybody know what this is?

Here is a picture of the wilting

Here are the weekly group shots. It's amazing how big these things get in a hurry.

nice bro very nice, I have one question why run your ppm so high, in over x2 decades of growing ive seen little to no increase in 1000 to 1600.
not downing your methods just trying to understand

I guess I would just say we are trying something new. It was also something recommended to us too, so we thought we would give it a shot. A big part of choosing one strain over multiples was that we could do some experimenting.
