Thanks for the info Jon. so i should leave it for another 5 days or so then flush.
I'll go check ya thread now.
P.s Im bong'd on wild bhuda ka bhuda.........lol

I would say wait for little longer another week wont hurt unless you see signs of nute burn.

Another thing is did you flush your coco to begin with using Ph6 water?

I have used a strategy to FIM my growth tips at the main grow site in the middle. I did this early on the Indica and late on the Haze to see the differences in shapes styles etc. I did various things to each including cleaning the bottoms. So far no ill effects from this but only time will tell. Yes it does put the plant under stress and it will take a couple of days to start vigarous growth again but the problem is that plants outdoors have an abundance of light and the plant can take the naturally programmed shape of like a Xmas tree and this is the shape it will be if you dont train it in some way. The LST that you are speaking of sounds a good idea but i havent read enough about it to attempt it yet. If you try could you catalogue it so that i may learn as you do?

So i went to see the mother of my plants yesterday. As the guy wanted to show some plants that were 2 days from harvest from the same mother's. And (((wow))) he has 40 plus plants and there are massivly full of bud. he said he should yield between 5-10 ounce per plant. They are humongus and stink to high heaven, standing around 5-6 foot high, he is using coco as i am, and the exact same product line. He's also using C02 with atatched hose for around the canopy. He gave me good advice on the C02 use too. i.e calculate size of the room. ppm, how much to use and when to use it. If mine turn out half as nice and big as his i will be well chuffed...

Im a newbie to growing but have quite a good knowledge of growing through my research over the last 6 months. I recently (2days ago) planted a mix of 24 clones. PPP, white russian and armageddon. I am uploading some pics after i have finished writing this thread so you can see the room.

My set up from start:

Room size 2.5m by 2.5m, Covered wall and half raised floor in black and white pvc, Ceiling done in reflective foil pvc. I have a 5" carbon filter connected eight inch from the ceiling with hooks and chain, this is connected to 5" exhaust fan at the same hight from ceiling and this is all connected to 5" foil duct exiting the room to the attic, where i followed the duck up to a corner to exit the property near the chimney pipe to hide any heat and smell.

Then i have installed 2 x 4" fans to the oppersit corner of the ceiling and attached a T tube to split the fresh air coming in, 4" duct's follows down to ether side of the proposed bedding site in the room. thus giving constant fresh air to the plants at the correct hight.

I placed 2 x 600w lights at equal places above the bedding site and have attatched these to my ceiling with hooks and adjustable chains for ease of movement above the plants. I have also put up a shelf behind, but above the lighting system near the carbon filter so i can put the ballast for each light on so that the exhaust takes out most of the heat, as i understand they get quite hot.

All the wiring has been fixed to the walls with wire connecters and i have also used timer switches for the control of light and air, so that everything is neat and tucked away. I put in a fire alarm too. just for my own peace of mind.

ok some about my plants and planting system.

I decided to start my first grow in coco professional and to use CANNA products to feed. was quite costly but im hoping it will be worth it. Anyway first i potted up the 7.5liter pots with 1-2" of clay pellets then toped that up with 3" coco mixed with silverlight then another inch of clay pellet and then 3 more inch of the Coco mix. this filled the pots to the correct high and will hopefully give the plants air whilst keeping in moisture.

After this i put in my 60liter container and filled with tap water to 30liter, i have tested and corrected the Ph level and put in the first mixtures of feed that were recommended for that amount of water ( the first mix was at half strength). Whils't i did this i potted all my clones up and gave them there first feed of around 500ml each.

I am going to keep a diary and update it on here. I will also take photos of my little baby's week by week as they grow and post them.

If there is anything that could help me then please let me know as this is my first grow and any of your info would be much appreciated. ( yes im a bit geeky ) but isnt every1 in there own little way.

So thanks for everyone and happy time ahead. ( i hope )

Danny "where did it all grow right" bull:leaf:
everything looks great the only thing i would sugest from now on is if your using tap water let it sit out for at leat 24 hours as this will allow chlorine to evaporate..

good luck,

Hi burnbig thanks for the info. yeah i have been doing that m8. do you think by adding the food to the water will affect the chlorine dissipation or would it be ok to put the feed in at the same time as filling?

Kindest regard Danny

i always leave my water sit b4 adding anything . i ph water before adding my nutes etc to see what its at usually its at 7ish ..
then i add my bio-bizz alg-a-mic top up with 1litre of water shake it then add my nutes then top up with 4 litres of water and correct it from 6.5 down to ph 6. i have 3 water bottles that i use

1 x 5 litre alg-a-mic and water ( this is my non nutes )
1 x 5 litre alg-a-mic and nutes
1 x 2 litre alg-a-mic and boost.

before i water i always run my air stone in the solution for about an hour to disolve some more oxygen back into it. and i heat it to about 20C

the other girl is a monster i'll try and get some decent pics to show you. the day i found my hermie i got asked if i wanted 3 armagedon cuttings, they have already been propagated and just need to get root bound before i pot them on. they have come from a decent mother. a friend has 4 of them in flower from the last lot cut from her and you cant get 2 hands around the circumference of 1 cola.
costing me nothing picking them up on thursday!!!!!!!!
