That's one hell of an adventure.
I am going outside because it is to dam hot in here to grow in the summer.
Good luck.

OK starting week six of flower.
This is where I start adding my own selection of additives. Basically just left over shit. lol Just kidding, but now I stop with the Budswell bat guano and add some of Floras Kool bloom and Floras necter sweetener to fox farms mix. (the sweetener was a give away I dont really think I need it) Temps have been around 86d Nutrients at 900PPM and Ph at 6.0
I read that keeping pH slightly higher durring flower allows the plants to use the nutrients better. I think I have seen a difference. They seem to bulk up better.
OK on with the pics.
Here are some shots of the veg area. This is fill and drain.
filling up....
Here you can see the drain tube.
Once it gets to the right height it starts to drain
That maintains the correct water level.
I run the pump for 20 min on the same timer as the flower area.
If you look close you can see where the water comes up to the
bottom of the cube inside the cup.

Looking Good as usual Cruzer!Thanks Shrike,
Here's a better shot I took today before the light went on. I am going to try to enlarge it without enlarging the threads table.
Hum, I could go bigger.
How about this,
That's 900 by 650 pixels. Seems to work pretty good.
.
When ya get time check out the update to the journal and look at my PPP Bush that came down. Got 36 G. weight going into the jars.
You are gonna get a good harvest this time around, i can see it from the pics!
Hey, I took some killer bud shots today. Thought I would share them with you.
Boy, you can sure tell the difference a good camera makes.
Yea, I know the tips are burnt, I forgot to top off for a few days
This one is cool.
It was shaded so it hasn't matured like the rest. But its comming along.
Not bad at all. I think I am going to like this super cropping.

nice looking buds, how much longer you giving them? what yield are you expecting to get?
i just cut a little nug off of one of my plants and threw it in the oven at 200F for 15 mins, ground it up and im decently high off 2 hits, it tastes kinda funky, like its not as harsh but it has more of a plant taste i guess cuz i didnt cure it just super quick dried it to test, i have around 70-80% of the hairs turning deep brown on one plant and around 50-60% on the other, i have no idea on tric status cuz i cant find my old magnifier but its been flowering for almost 10.5 weeks now so i think its ganna be cut on 4:20 or at 11 weeks 4:22

We are just in awe. You might have to wait longer, until the shock wears off a little!
They look delicious by the way. Like candy.
I like the flood and drain table you got going. It seems like the perfect place in a plants life for that type of nutrient delivery. I bet it sure beats dipping them each in solution every day. Of course you seem like the kind of person who wouldn't mind that anyway!
about the supercropping... You said you bent them at 8 inches. Did you bend at the middle? I think i read your screen is 9 inches from the base of the plants so i'm trying to think of the spacing here.
Thanks Cruzer. Keep up the great work.
They are just starting week 7 of flower today. Most of the pistils are amber and thricomes are cloudy. All my other grows I had to cut them at 8 weeks flower because I had more to move up but this time my babies are going outside.
So, I can flower as long as I want to. I am thinking another couple weeks then a week or so of flushing. Then take the top colas and let the rest go for a couple weeks. We will see.
My guess would be 4 oz dried and cured.
The reason that bud you dried in the oven didn't taste right is because it still had nutes and chlorophyll in it.
You need to flush it out and cure it properly for the best smoke.
Thanks for dropping by.

Hi loh pan,
Thanks for the complement on the pics. It took a while to get them right. I love the eye candy.
You are right, I don't mind hand watering them at all. As a matter of fact now I keep looking for something I can do for them. I think I trimmed more leaf this time around the ever before. like a 1/16th of an inch at a time lol.
Yea, the super cropping, I let them get about a foot tall and bent them under the second set of branches from the top. At about eight inches, that's the height of my screen. Now that formed an elbow and they grew sideways. I believe I stunted there growth by about 25% by doing that but the buds are at perfect height and I believe I will get the yield anyway.
Once again, Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
