finally got around to joining this thing.. probably could have saved some troubles from some shared wisdom, hindsight right? Anyway, the really huge buds are from nor cal purple urkel seed plant and the smaller, yet nice, tend to be the two fruit loops on the side (also from seed). growing in soil, receiving a reduced nutrient solution. Hydro growing clone is Shiva x Skunk from a co-op, running a local hydro nutrient system made for local water. Also adding grotek bloom buster now. this is the 21st day of 12/12 anyone wanna guess at a harvest day?

1.Starts off with my fav bud. Actually the lowest branch the seedling, really took off with a little lst. (purple urkel)
2. the canopy from seeds, back left two huge tops is urkel, the bottom left all the same urkel, bottom/ back back right is fruit loops
3.fruit loops.
4.this it's one of the urkel tops
5.it's a crapshoot of which plant... but what a beautiful thing.

wish i could upload at full quality.

yea yea, got so excited about finally getting something up i forgot some things haha.
250w MH, i know, i need more, a few CFLs with the color temp for flowering, not sure if it's helping the MH at all, but the buds look good so i'm not that concerned. although with the walls of the cabinet unpainted and hence not reflective side buds are suffering. by suffering, i mean they aren't keeping up with the golf ball ones. The soil was the best the Depot had to offer as far as planting soils went.

3part nute system for hardwater. 4-1-3 grow/.5-2-10 micro/0-5-3 blossom.
applying in 1-2-1 ratio now, switching soon to 0-1.5-3 before the flush.
phed to 5.8

do about 1/2 strength for the soil

both get a 1/2 teaspoon of grotek Bloom Booster

most strains are 45 to 65 day flower time. you need to go to radio shack in the next 20 days and get a jewlers scope for 10$ read the FAQ on harvesting and you will have a better idea. best thing for now is patience. some strains can tripple in size during flowering. buy some twine and start tying up stalks for support if they look like they might break

haha thanks for info, actually already have the scope but haven't used it since they were about to show sex. lazy i guess, really just wanted to get some info straight and get a rough planning number, so thank you haha.

glad to hear the buds look good too. i have no clue really (admittedly embarrassed) in terms of cultivation (aside from the bible cover to cover) I just know what they should look like at the end haha

appreciate the help, and fine, i'll buy the damn mylar but first i need to get the temp down if it's goign to be so hot.

keep in touch

did some tucking and sliding of branches last night to optimize the high intesity light area in the center and get some of the branches/buds off the wall towards the light. Things are looking good
