Temps 74 res 65°
PPMs 440 ph 5.6

Topped off a couple gallons with nutes, brought it to 600PPM 5.8 Ph.
They are middle of week four of flower. Here is the first daylight shots.





















Heres the main cola on the right.








The canopy has got thicker, now about 8 inches. Maybe I should have trained for one more week.
I dont think 2 of the 5 pk are going to make it but the rest are doing great.

I think you could cover that space making the two lights into one like that.

Great job on the scrog. Those look great for 4.5 wks.

Scrog is looking great as usual Cruzer
I can already tell that the bud growth is a little quicker using HPS, no?
Buds seem to be filling in a lot quicker than the last grow with the CMH.
What are your thoughts? Can't get over that flouro harvest man, I might have to do something similar now haha

Yea man, I am lovin it. I think its the best so far.
The buds do seem to be growing faster, also tighter node spacing. But some of that could be attributed to the massive reflector I built. The extra lumens this bulb has sure dont hurt either.

So far, I have to say, I'm liking this bulb better.

No shit, I was blown away with that flouro grow and I am going to expand on it. Thinkin under the HPS grow a flouro flower. Depends on total height of this grow. If I can raise the shelf about 5 inches it would work fine. Then turning the small cab back into the veg monster.

Dont blame ya a bit for given flouros a shot. Figure an extra week or so of flower though.

I am getting real psyched about my aeroponic system I have in the works. Should be done by new years. 24 site SOG machine haha. After that, in my small cab, I want to do a vertical flouro tube grow with a 70 watt HPS above it. I think it should put out some nice nuggage for very little wattage

I was thinking about this in my flouro side grow. Take all the tubes and build them around some sort of tube and have the plants scroged vertical around the tubes.... Might work better given I would have more sq ft of footprint.

Well, heres the new lineup. PK in the center and TW on all four corners.
I figure since I didnt have many rooted TW I would go ahead and see what PK will do.




If they dont start real well I still got these gals on the bench.





I looked close and noticed the edges of the leaf curling up.




I checked it out and it isnt temps or lack of water so the last thing is salt buildup.
Now I just added a couple gallons with nutes so I am gonna let it go a couple days then flush for a few days. any suggestions?

I got under the screen cleaned out better then I had before, pulled out the two runt PK and pointed the fans up. They got more air now.








The Green Crack is lookin fine.









Soon I will top these and see if I can clone the tops.

Thanks, but I screwed up, They are not in the middle of week 4.
I checked it out and I didnt flip untill 11/3 so they will be in week 4 starting tomorrow...


Dam, I topped with week 4 nutes. Better flush tomorrow.

Yea, they got there own disco going on with those lights. Ha.

Never fail to impress me man, those plants are always so green.
Thanks man, Hey have you noticed any leaf tips curling like mine? Im thinking its the reflector now. Probably hot spots. Thats why people dont use this stuff. I have duct tapped over what I think are the hot spots on the inside of the thing. Im lookin into getting some 95% Reflective German aluminum. I found 2x4 sheets but there is 4 to a pack and $150.00 I only need one sheet.

Also lookin at the adjust-a-wing reflector as a replacement.

dude thats some very nice harvesting there. you get a A + my friend! and no you cant clone them. life span is'nt long enough. you cut a branch you lose bud. 45 days its done.seed to bud. these i got now are 2 weeks out from finishing.and look deadly now. i do have 35 beans of 4 different strains of autos, thats going to be my nexts grow. I did 5 just to see, and three out of the 5 are about10 inches tall 1 is 3 inches lol and one is going to be 1 HIT lol no shit! its just a stem with a purple 1 bowl bud. Im hoping i have a better ratio out of the forty. lets see strains are lowrider, lowrider 2. lowrider2*ak47, double deasil, and blue berry.those are the 35 so . i will do a journal on them. you see in month and a half and im done..o and i have a hawaiian snow that i cloned today and she starts flowering next week.im going to put wire over her tomorrow. i like the way you use that wire to help hold every thing up.
O and that vertical grow would be killer doing auto flowers. pollinate one of these autos with a good male to have enough seeds and i could be set. hmm something to pounder on. talk at ya soon bud great job keep it up teach lol
