gettin into this late...my apologies.The 2 plants shown are 30 days(on the right)...and 23 days into a 24 hr photoperiod...tomorrow I will set the timer to 18/6 for 2 weeks before they go into 12/12.The reason for the age difference is that the gal on the left came late to the party...and has been a runt ever since.The silver bubbler has 2 5" airstones, the hexagon General Hydroponics Powergrower has 2 airlines, each with their own pump as well- one airline is for the drip ring assembly( also on a timer- 15 min each hour) and one airline is for a 5" airstone in the res.The nutes are GH Flora- right now I'm running the veg phase dosage- 15 mils- grow-10 mils Micro-5 mils of bloom(per gallon of Reverse Osmosis filtered H20) ppm's are at 1300-PH is at 5.7. The frankenstein lighting rig is not my ideal( but it'll work until I scrap some cash together) 400 w cool tubed hps(400 CFM exhaust, pulling cool air from outside the cab) 250 w hortilux eye mh-with a 240 CFM fan pulling hot air away from the bulb. And for giggles I threw in a 12 w led spot(5000k), that I got 0n fleabay for 20 bucks.So I'm thinking(if all goes well) 2 more weeks veg...I'm still learning here guys and gals, so any advice is appreciated.

and the larger "bush" has been lst'd.What I did was take shiska-bob skewers and criss-crossed them, placing them over the main branch, and down into the 4" rockwool cube... The 2 plants we're started in rootone plugs after they cracked and placed (snugly) in 4" (PH conditioned) rockwool cubes.The first week they we're under 100 watts of 6500k cfl's...I'm working on something better
lol!! the plant in the silver bubbler looks pathetic next to the shrub.I wonder how much of a pain in the ass the size difference will be? It'll be nice to get some clones goin...I already have a pretty good idea of which plant I'll choose a mom from, but hey...ya never know and I dont have the exp to judge this early.
took 16 cuttings from the bush, and pulled the main stem back further with a strand of nylon parker screwed to the rim of the powergrower.Watering with botanicare clone juice (30 ml/gal of RO water) I placed the cuttings into rapid rooters, then under a humidity dome, under 52 watts of 6500K CFL...I'm preparing the other tent for some serious clone propagation...dwc style

built a little 1 plant scrog bamboo screen-3'x 26". Decided it would def help w/ yield, plant size difference.The runt is turning into a bush.Another week veg is in order. Decided to scrape together all my supplemental cfl's and an extra 2x2 homebox xs for a mini-sog CFL grow.I've got 35 clones rooting under 75w of 6500K CFL...so many choices here.But I went with the 20 gallon tub-bubbler, homemade.8-5" net pots- 4-20" air-stones- 4 aquarium pumps.I've got a 250w 2700K CFL batwing fixture+ attached 6500k cfl's- 6500K-switching to 2700k for flower.2 65 watt-2700K's.Alot of 2700K...but I'm only vegging for a week after some white, healthy roots are poking out of the root-plug.That leaves quite a few more....I'm still deciding what to do with them.And , theres a 95 cfm 4" exhaust fan, ducted to a 4" airsock for odor control.

have you ever grew church before? I just ordered 4 church and got 4 differant strains for free with my order from attitude cant wait to see what kind of yield you get cause im gonna do a few outdoors then if it does good ill use the profits to get my lights and dwc supplies.but ill be going led no matter what the led haters say so good luck and happy growing
Thanks bro, and this is my first church grow...dont worry about this one getting tall on you.And I think a grower should grow with whatever they want.I mean, I've got 480 watts of cfl in a 2x2 tent...I'm positive there are many folks that would find that ridiculous...but I wanted to see an all-cfl grow.Drop a link when you get that going.peace
I've done 3 orders from attitude, and all arrived within the week with my "secure" credit card order.Did you order the stealth packaging?I believe this expedites the process.They are supposedly easy to contact with questions regarding your order. Heres an update: I added about a ft in length to the screen- it's roughly 4'x 28".This scrog wasnt originally planned, but it seemed the ticket for my plant size issues.Now I'll start scrogging the lil bush(adding more to the screen.This is my first scrog, so I wont get all butt-hurt if I'm doing something wrong and get called on it.Clones are healthy as all, and are about a week away from being transplanted into the CFL flowering tent.
