Whoa, awesome pics! Awesome plants! :weed::

Here is a pic of some of my ladies. they also have been grown with fox farm/soil/nutes. She has been flowering since I put her into the "flower room" 2/6 (along with other sisters). Three weeks!:lol: The red light is the UFO I'm using along with t-5's (3000DegreeK). Really looks weird but beautiful. I took first pict 2/21 and today. The bud development is exciting to see. I have different 6 varieties so figuring out when they're finishes is a problem. A nice problem to have.
More pics later, LL

Whoops, The second image is a mature church. Hope to harvest 2-3 weeks.

Sweeeeet! :)

Got a nice selection going on.

When you step up to hydro, you will see even faster changes, and more bud growth.

Looks like you really enjoy what your doing, and thats really cool.

Ive been wondering about led for quite sometime.

The pics look psychadelic!! I love it!

Wish you the best, and please come back soon.

Sincerely, CG :)

LED technology is expensive. I couldn't use the other lights due to the temp increase. I added 2 short t-5's because the growth on this pic showed the growth between the nodes to be too far apart. T-5's with 3000 K lights. I keep rotating them and they are getting heavier. So I think newer LED are of course better technology. I lost my last crop at this point last fall due to insects. Hope my prevention helps this time.

By the way, that plant is from a seed I started call Mount Everest. I got it because of the 45 day bloom period. So I really don't know what it is supposed to look like.

Dang, Im having a problem over here.. :roll:

3 of the 6 Glass Slipper veg Clones are now 29-30" in heighth.

One of them is maybe 13" tall, and I have a couple of smaller clones that recently got placed in the buckets.

My plan was to put all these bad girls into flowering the day I harvested my current grow.

But, I have about 45 days left til harvest.

They'll be 6 foot tree's by that time..Heehee!

Guess I better do some big time trimming/chopping.

It sux..

Especially since the growth is so healthy and all.

My timing is way off.


I didnt think the hydro plants would grow this FAST under a 430 watt light. But they did, .. lol!


Next time Ill start em all at the same time, and wont wind up in this dilemma.

Oh well, Live and learn.

This place is turning into a damn nursery!! Plants in every room!!

I still gotta find a spot for my upcoming Northern Lights #5 ...

Grow bug bit me once again!!! OUCH! :)

Start clones from the remains! Give them away! Make tea. Think how they will bush out!:clap:

I have a timing problem also. Staying legal and all that:cuss: crap makes it interesting.
I'm also going to do a new room 10 x 7.5. Thinking about an ebb an flow for 30 ladies. Then I started tomatoes, basil, (soil) and I better stop there because I'll need the real estate. I've become a closet farmer. :rolleyes:

I just want spring to start. I've got 3 ft of snow in my backyard.:sad: Going snowshoeing tonight though. Should be fun with full moon. :bigjoint:

Don't cry when you cut. They sure got big, fast!! Why dont you just put then in with the ladies you want to harvest. I did that with them all on a 12/12 light schedule. But I had the room. Won't much longer.
Later, LL

Yea, I dont let anyone know about my private life, except for the people on this forum.

So, giving them out wont work.

The buddy's I have in the area, are already growing out my strain, and have plenty of clones.

Ive only had maybe 4 or 5 people over to my house ever.(bad enough)

Ya know the Golden rule.. DONT TELL ANYONE!

I definetely Dont need any more clones, or plants in this household.(have about 50 houseplants too) Heehee!

Trying to keep it legal.

As you know, I can only have a certain number of plants, since Im a caregiver and all.

I should be getting my Northern Lights #5 seeds in the mail any day now, and that will definetely push me over my limit.

I wanna grow 6 full sized plants under my 1k light and thats it...maybe 8.. we'll see.

3 Glass Slippers and 3 Northern Lights #5.

That would be perfect! :)

And Have 6 plants in veg, placed in buckets at the same time.

This way Ill have constant turn around.

I dont think I could do 8, its already too crowded as it is. We'll see how 6 works out and go from there.

Can barely walk around in there as it is.



I have devoted 2 full bedrooms to grow this shit out, and its getting a tad bit out of control.

Its a freakin jungle here.. You would get blown away if you walked in.

Ill have it all figured out by the next grow.

The things i do, I swear!!! :mrgreen:

Here's the girls 12 days into flowering, and the veg room. :)

I got alot going on. Already have too much on my plate as it is..

But, Ill come through like a winner! Gotta be strong, and have nerves of steel. :blsmoke:

Guess what Sunday is? Nute Change day on all 11 buckets!!! Some are close to the 4' mark. FUN FUN FUN!!!! :bigjoint:
 
I like that bubbler growth. How did you make it?
Another look at the Glass Slipper Clone growing like mad in a dwc Bubbler... I dont know, I may do 8 Glass Slipper plants in seperate 5 gallon buckets under my 1000 watt hortilux and grow em out to about 4 1/2 feet... This superior growth at the moment is under 2 low wattage t5 florescent bulbs. Can you imagine what this lil' clone will do under a thousand watts? The growth rate has never been this good in soil. I may rethink my whole plan here... This is a GS clone a little over 2 weeks, this includes the rooting process. Look at the difference in size between the Bubbler clone and the clone planted in soil... A major difference. I may go to the hydro store and grab some more buckets and air stones, and say the heck with soil and never look back. Iam just following the directions on the Fox Farm Hydroponics Feeding chart... Total success!!! :clap: I can Honestly see big differences each day. This girl is over 8 inches tall already, and getting bushy.

good mornin cg. them ho's look good. i like my bitches thick just like that! haha. do you just set them in an empty bucket when you change the nutes? or do you have one mixed and ready? and on your cloner, do you set the stem tips directly in water or just let the bubbles do it all? curious minds want to know. do you ever make any mistakes? haven't seen one yet.

And Good morning to you!

The Big O' Biotches are thick, And i cannot lie!!

I like em thick too... Fuck that skinny shit.

Grow big or go home.

Yes, I let them sit on top of an empty bucket for about 5-10 minutes while their
bucket gets swapped out with fresh nutes.

They dont mind it at all. They love the air bath.

And the cloner,... I have the stems about 1/8th of an inch above the water, the humidity and bubbles takes care of everything else.

Within 2-3 days Ill see the nubs or actual roots coming out of the stem.

It works almost too good.

Also, for faster growth, adding a pinch of clone powder to the rez water gets em revving with roots!!

The darkness of the rez is what really makes the difference.

My semi-clear cloner didnt work as well as this one.

And yes, I make mistakes everyday.

We all do.

Thats life :)

Hooking up an ol' homey that has been growing in soil. :razz:

Known the dude since kindergarden, and He wants to get into hydro.

He's been growing the GS for about 7 or 8 years. :bigjoint:

He has seen what Ive done with hydro, and he wants in on the game. :weed:

So, Im teaching him the whole gig this afternoon. :)
 
Hey CG!
I wanted to ask you about the noise...or rather the sound. I like the sound of bubbling, very relaxing. With eleven stones running it must get loud? I really wanted to start out bubbling or fogging but since I am extra virgin I just went with the ol dependable ebb and flo. Like you I didn't quite understand how the bubbler worked until getting on this site and checking things out and watching your grow. The comparison between bubbles and soil is amazing in favor of the bubbles. Have you ever done a comparison between bubbles and rockwool or some other base other than soil? Im wondering if there is some way I can combine the two using the containers Im already using for the ebb and flow?
Anyhoo, Amazing work! Cant wait to see the final result ;-)
