This is my second grow. I already screwed up some seeds. I think the plants will recover after reading some more about it. I read an article that said environmental factors don't affect sex until weeks 3 or 4 of veg. After I got serious with my first grow I got about 2.5 oz but the
dude, thats old information. the sex is determined at the seed formation stage and cannot be influenced by any outside forces after the seed has been programmed with the choice chromosomes. Just like dressing a baby boy in girl clothes....well, maybe a little different...lol

hmm, as soon as my cultures have a root, they go into an 600ppm flood/drain, changed weekly,according to their instructions and never have deficiencies.....maybe look at a complete nute system. I have never seen a deficiency, until the one time I switched from dutch master to sensi bloom in one res. only took a week of fresh nutes to see it ! never again.

I love your clean set up man

hey juan sorry about the space jill ive had good results with aos 10/10 the 2 i lost were a direct result of my mishandling of the babies i kicked the nutes to 3/4 strength the day before yesterday theyll be full strength tomorrow with a res. change theyre growing daily next grow im going back to coco i think i like it better it holds its ph better the r/w ph climbs daily requiring adjustment every day where with the coco i only have to adjust ph once a week

bummer bout the space jillz, she is a very active girl, with stunning effects for sure.

I do not miss checking ph or the issues. once I switched to DM Gold it was over, checked out perfect everytime through till the next res change. I dont check ph or tds/ppm for three years. never had any issue at all with any deficiency or strange shit, no slime, or smell, or anything. amazing stuff

quick bud snap of this mornings' Ace harvest

she got a week of a 1000 watt uva/uvb grow bulb(tanning bulb) for giggles. I see the difference, but not sure it's worth the trouble of it though. ace is perfect as is, and this pink pheno is abundant, and the green one is awesome too

Picture 039.jpgPicture 037.jpgPicture 038.jpgthat sure is pretty i had a good run of killing fields everyone here is burned out on blu/purp so some green in there will be cool as well im still getting my aos dialed in gonna be cloning in about 2 weeks ive numbered my plants & ill number the babies to the plant they were cloned from then when the males show ill know which babies were cloned from which plant & weed them out ill be finishing mine off with a 1000w. eye hortilux the 6000w. i ve been using is a cheepie & performs well but after this grow im gonna replace it oddly enough it still gives me good results my local hydro shop gives me good deals so im gonna start eyeballing a suitable replacement & possibly a single switchable ballast that might have to wait untill another harvest:idea:

what difference have you noticed in the badass bulb ??? my friend runs 2 of them in 1000w. hps but hasnt completed a grow yet i guess advance nutrients is behind badass bulbs they were a bit pricey

yes pricey, but competitive. they have more par light available than my other lights, digilux,plant max, horti, etc. one bud from one branch from one plant, once a year= not so expensive for me. on the cheap, you can dial your adjustable digi ballast to super lumens at the end of a year, and get another year out of the bulb with little loss.

Picture 050.jpgPicture 049.jpgPicture 052.jpgPicture 051.jpgtheyve been in the room 10 days now i had a couple of problems i had to make adjustments for im getting light spots on my leaves so i lowered my tower fan so it now hits my plants so the blame for that is on me i should of done it right off the gate it is a good idea to always have that gentle rustle of leaves as fresh air circulates around them i think it releives the heat generated by hid lighting the other problem im having is my ph in my res. likes to climb towards the 7.5 mark after 1 feeding at 5.9 ph. i have my res on a timer so it can feed while im at work but ive unhooked the timer & have to set the ph. every feeding im gonna flush tomorrow & change over to gh. 3-part flora series instead of floranova which is my favorite nutrient but as the weather warms i get a lot of slime next grow its back to co-co for me in spite of all this things are looking good & on schedule this is all minor shit the big picture is good im getting green back in my leaves & next week is clone time because this does not appear to be a stretchy strain im gonna veg for at least a month everyone alwas say to veg subs gear longer than other stuff & i think im gonna head that advice:weed:

Picture 061.jpgPicture 060.jpgPicture 059.jpgPicture 049.jpgPicture 058.jpgi changed the nutrients last night & after 2 feedings the ph seems to be holding typicaly i change my res on sunday & set the ph at 5.9 & then by wednesday it climbs up to 6.8 - 7.0 & the plants have consumed 2-3 galons of nutes so wednesday is the day i like to top - off my res & reset the ph. to 5.9 again then sunday i drain the res. & it starts over again when i get to the aggressive growth stage i increase my feeding from twice a day to 3 times a day im happy with my growth rate & the new growth has a nice green color next grow im not gonna top them as this is a very ''stocky'' strain & appears to be hungry all the time the different phenos are starting to emerge & some are growing faster than others which means they could be males these plants have a very good structure to them:-o
