Hey 600g is a nice haul grats my friend :D. Yeah the air pots are fantastic from what i hear. Gonna use voodoo juice as well so my roots should be looking good :D
 
Here is the harvest from the two large pheno NL Autos, was around 11 oz.

Cola of the shorter pheno NL Auto, yielded over 2 oz

Branches of the "smaller" big pheno NL.

This is the biggest pheno of the NL I had, it was an absolute monster, amazed at how big and heavy it was, and it smelled worse than the Skunk #1's, overpowered my filter big time.

Here are some of the arm sized branches of the big pheno NL, absolute monster branches.

Here is the total haul from the Skunk #1's, slightly fluffy, all together around 6 oz.

Just a small bud shot of one of the Skunks that I really like for some reason.

Again, this was my first indoor grow, with help from this forum I was able to accomplish this. I used almost all of the Advanced Nutrients line, they actually just sent me their entire line in 1L bottles because I won their "Success Stories" contest with these monsters, so I am set for next year. My biggest advice, do your research and do not cheap out and cut corners, yes I spent a ton of money on the initial setup, but now that I have it, it's all smooth sailing. FYI - This grow is a legal MMJ grow in compliance with state laws and is for PERSONAL USE ONLY! Keep up the great work JD, just wanted to show everyone the results they can achieve if they put the work in.

Thats just fantastic bro, hopefully you will stay active on the site. The awesome part about growing...



You never stop learning :blsmoke:...

Should do a grow journal, im gonna start in a couple weeks.
 
It's been a great experience, even if I didn't burn, I would still grow just because I love it and am so passionate about it. I will definitely start a journal for the next time around, I actually got a Lemon Kush clone from a friend in my closet under a 125w cfl, just playing around with it really (not going to put much time and money into it), if I get something off of it, great, if not, I'm not sweating it. Just getting more practice in before next season, and maybe I'll get a few LK buds off in the process. Let me know when you start your journal so I can follow along.

Hope you like the new lights Im happy I switched to them. I've also acquired an air pot to test out too (finally), but its the smallest one they make hopefully itll be like a super solo cup.

im straightening out my loose ends Jeff
and im probably not going to be on for a while i really loved this site after my autoflower.net nightmare i figured this would be a place to lay some roots down but im tired of seeing people get banned or threads just disappearing for advertising claims
or for what ever reason one of the disgruntled mods feel is correct

ill send you my email in a message if you want to shoot the shit or something
TEK!! noo! there is so much we could of done together lol, when you know where your going drop me a message with ya email man i need the guru with me as i walk through the valley of the shadow of an auto !

I swear by the Voodoo Juice and Piranha. I will never grow without them again, they are absolutely amazing.
Just to add a little about what each product does really theres some nay Sayers about Advanced Nutrients, but ever since i switched years ago thats all i have used. A little expensive and quite a large product line but you dont have to get all of them at all or at first. Want some recommendations for people who would like to try let us know :)

Piranha
Using beneficial microbes to create a more natural environment for roots and leaves is the Advanced way of increasing plant health, growth rate, and yield. Piranha beneficial fungi will assist plant growth by improving the development of a strong, expansive root zone. Piranha contains 26 types of beneficial fungi, including 8 species of Trichoderma and 18 species of mycorrhizal fungi. Such fungi excrete powerful chemicals that dissolve nutrients, absorb water, and promote soil porosity. Piranha helps plants establish fruits and flowers faster, in greater abundance, and with increased yield. When coupled with voodoo juice and Tarantula, your roots will seriously look like and old man's fluffy white beard. Apply this product twice during vegetative phase and once per week in the first two weeks of flowering. Once the Piranha inoculates your root system, you're set for success. Feed the fungi with Carboload.

What are trichoderma?

Trichoderma are energetic colonizers that enhance root mass while preventing root rot and other problems caused by harmful microbes, such as pythium and pytophethoria

What are mychorrizal fungi?

Mycorrhizal fungi excrete powerful natural chemicals that increase nutrient availability and root water retention, retard soil pathogens, and create a more aerated, porous soil structure. Mycorrhizal fungi can expand surface area of root mass by as much as 700%!

Roots are what feed your plants almost everything they need, and now you can maximize your plants' root mass so your plants get optimum nutrition and enhanced flowering.

You do this by using beneficial fungi that accomplishes the following for you:

(1.) Beneficial Fungi maximizes root absorption of oxygen, nutrients and water

(2.) Beneficial Fungi maximizes root growth for optimum yields

(3.) Helps your roots gain surface mass

(4.) Beneficial Fungi maximize production of floral essential oils

GETTING THE RIGHT TYPES OF BENEFICIAL FUNGI IS ALL-IMPORTANT FOR MAXIMIZING YOUR YIELD

As you can see, beneficial fungi are a valuable tool you use to maximize your gardens production. But please remember that it matter what type of fungi you use. You need to add the right types of the two major categories of beneficial fungi:

Category One beneficial fungi are called Endomycorrhiza. Believe it or not, these fungi actually have a form of "foot," called a hyphae, that enters into root cells to produce sacs or branched structures. As you can imagine, the sacs and branched structures increase root mass and root function.

Category Two beneficial fungi are called Ectomycorrhiza. These fungi create a hyphal sheath that covers root tips. They also create a hyphae net that cloaks the entire root system.

Funny thing is, plant scientists used to assert that endomycorrhiza were the only type of fungi that inserted themselves into root cells, and that the ecto variety stayed outside roots.

New research conducted by our scientists reveals that super-strains of ecto and endo beneficial fungi both penetrate roots, so they have designated these strains as a mega-category called "ectendomycorrhiza."

The good news is that whatever you call them, beneficial fungi form a web of root enhancement called a "fungal mycelium."

NOT ALL BENEFICIAL FUNGI ARE CREATED EQUAL

It's important to realize there are two processes hydroponics companies can choose from when they want to make a beneficial fungi product.

The most common choice starts when a hydroponics company decides to save time, effort and money by hiring a third-party company to bulk produce/bulk combine microbes without testing them for specific plant appropriateness or microbial compatibility.

Instead of managing the process from start to finish, they outsource their manufacturing, and in the process they forfeit first-hand knowledge and supervision of product components and quality control.

Not only that, but their process includes an overly generic view of fungi. For example, you'll hear their product advertising talk about "endo and ectomycorrhizal fungi." Turns out this is so vague that it borders on actually being an inaccurate way of describing root zone fungi!

It's exactly like saying "General Motors" to describe a car, leaving you wondering are they talking about a Pontiac or a Chevy.

And even if it's a Chevy, it could be a Malibu or Corvette. Ok, if you're lucky, you got the Corvette - but you're still left guessing, because one model of Corvette has the 300 hp motor, but the ZR1 Corvette has a 620 horsepower motor!

The good news is that we make sure our Piranha beneficial fungi are the fully-loaded ZR1 Corvette with 620 horsepower powerplant, not the Chevy Malibu! Here's how we do it...

Advanced Nutrients hires world-class microbiologists who practically live in the laboratory-that's how competitive and dedicated they are about developing what they call "superstrains" of fungi that biologically bond with the roots of your plants. One of our scientists is especially impressive: she has THREE Ph.D. degrees!

Voodoo Juice
Voodoo Juice has cast a yield-enhancing spell on the horticultural industry. These microbes colonize root systems so that plants can more easily uptake organic and chemical substances. One of the microbes present in Voodoo creates gibberellins that help plants respond to floral triggering, encourage enzyme production, and increase cellular replication.

[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]AN has released their NEWEST version of Voodoo Juice!

Guess what everybody? Voodoo Juice now contains 12 kick ass species!!! For those of you who have been with AN from the start, you all know that this product originally started with only 4 species. Then upgraded to 6. Even then it kicked major butt. Well we've been watching the back of this bottle closely lately, and the truth is they've been investing more time and energy into this product than any product on any shelf in any hydro shop! This really goes to show that AN has taken the majority of their proceeds from their awesome nutrient program, and dumped them right back into what makes them the BEST!

[FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Species List: Bacillus Subtilis, Bacillus Megaterium, Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus Pumilus, Bacillus Licheniformis, Paenibacillus Azotofixans*, Bacillus Mycaides*, Bacillus Laterosporus, Bacillus Macerans*, Bacillus Polymyxa*, Bacillus Cereus, Paenibacillus Polymyxa

Everyone always says great things about voodoo including myself, well except maybe the price lol. Theres a good online AN seller I have been going to for years to get all of my Advanced Nutrients (except juicy roots can only get that on ebay for some reason lol) Also he does buy 3 get 1 free, the cheapest thing will be the free item so make sure the items are close in price to get a better value :D

Good info JD! The fabulous four pack is definitely a steal and everyone should at least try it! I'm blown away by my roots since using the trio. I transplanted a clone from a solo cup to a 2gal pot and in 6 days, after two feedings with voodoo juice and piranha, roots were hanging 4 inches out of the bottom of the container. If people would just try it, they'd be sold. It's stupid not to put the money in your grow, becuase what you reap will have paid for itself time and time again!

Also, a big thanks to Advanced Nutrients for sending me their ENTIRE LINE of nutrients absolutely free, so stoked! Keep up the good work JD!

If the chlorosis (yellowing of the leaves) is coming from the tips and working their way to the stem starting from the bottom set its a PH issue,
