Sno1890's 400w hydro grow

Newbie here been lurking and checking out all of your success thought I would throw my hat in. Grew all of these from seed with the old fashioned paper towel method. Been a dirtbag for a while thought it was time to step up my game....by that i mean i wanted to stress myself out getting it started and have to lug around giant reservoirs. Anyway I digress I have 5 blackberry plants and one bag seed one advanced seed critical and one UFO motivation. Attitude seeds gotta love em! Oh and my girlfriend named them all so pretty fun times. Using the soul synthetics grow, had an issue with my ph just drifting between 7.0 and 6.3 but got it stabilized now. It's like an aquarium people once you get it figured out it's just keeping it up.

Sorry if i wrote a book here....

Anyone got any pointers here? I am a newbie to the hydro world. But having fun none the less.

I don't have much hydro experience either..

I like to grow in soil.. with organics. Always have.. always will.

But, there are alot of hydro growers around the community here.. I'm sure someone will give you some advice.

good luck.. and keep doing whatever it is that your doing.. they look good.

peace.

Thanks man. I think I am going to take some clones off the unknown sex big plant in the pictures and do those organically. Maybe take some off all the hydro plants too and do the same thing. Trying to get up to about 20 plants before I start flowering. Any thoughts on that big boy look female or male to any more experienced growers here?

I am using the Soul Synthetics Grow right now and anyone have any experience using these chems? Seems i have to mix them semi strong.

Some new pics of the kids. Got some leaves curling and yellow spots on my big unknown bag seed plant...anyone know why. Is this typical or am i using too much nutrients? Going to cut some clones off the big one friday send them straight into flower and see what the sex is.

Wow lots of looks but no comments huh......Bumpit.

Just got them transferred into bigger coconut pots. All problems have been alleviated. Tried to do a few clones off the big'un but they all wilted and died....don't have that down just yet. Let me know what y'all think.

Got my shit running good now. Going to send these guys into flowering in two weeks. Any pointers on trimming these. Not sure if I am going to go for FIM or chop them at the third node. Any pro's out there got pointers?

Oh and by the way doing this hydro grow with no PPM. Just letting my plants tell me what's going on.

Anyone have any pointers on how I should be trimming these guys. Kinda a noob on some of the more advanced techniques alot of you are using out there. oh kind of a BUMP here.

Wow lots of lookie-lou's. Come on not even one comment....I could use a few pointers here guys.

Some new pics of the kids. I think one of them is going to be a baseball player. Damn that weed plants got an arm.

Getting bigger. Going into flowering Saturday. Still wondering if i should be trimming the lower growth to make the plant focus on the upper growth. I topped all of them on Monday. Seem to have come out of it o.k. The big one I found fungus gnats in the crap miracle grow I used as soil. So just forgo-ed trying to flush them and got rid of it.

Should i be trimming the lower growth on these?

So I am sending these into flowering tomorrow going to give them 24 hours of darkness before i turn the lights onto 12/12. I am going to prune the lower growth on a few of the plants and leave it on some and see what happens.

Got my babies in flowering now. They are in their second week. Got another light from a friend so now I have a 360 watter and a 600 watt hps. So should have a good outcome now.

Got another light so now i am running 2 600w hps's and a 400w hps. So i am running 1600 watts on a 2x4 ebb and flow table with 7 plants. Gonna be pretty crazy. Working on keeping the heat down now. Hope this works.........Any comments? Anybody.


Here is one of the tops.

This is one I topped

Well well well. If i can say anything it is that this is getting big. Got about a month left. I think......maybe closer to three weeks. But getting some nice cola's. Got a ppm meter now and am running about 1100 ppm. Anyone got any tips?

Anybody got any ideas on how much weight-wise I might get out of this?

Those are looking really nice Girth. Keep it up.
