Uncharacteristically, this update doesn't have any pictures.

I just wanted to report that the girls look like they're absolutely loving the Hygrozyme. They're starting to do that growing-before-my-eyes thing.

Also, more praise for AN. With GH, especially when I was running Nova in the early days, the pre-filter in my pumps would get brown gunk buildup that would wreak havoc on my ph if I didn't clean at each water change. The Flora is a bit more liquid, but still dirty compared to AN Sensi. I checked the pre-filter and it was clean. The rinse of the flush was more than enough. I never have to bother taking that stupid little sponge out of the pump's plastic housing again.

Hey how were your yields with GH vs AN... I'm using GH right now... planning on doing lucas formula... however only at like 150 ppm right now.

Ah i wanna be in the angry growth phase.... :P
Patience, young Skywalker. Your time will come.

Lucas formula... fine, fine. This is my first AN grow, so we shall find out together. Peace unto you, brother.

Ask and you shall revive.

Dude, you have some of the most unusual plant shots around. Aside from your eerie colored lights, I have to say I admire the short bushiness you got going there. Very interesting visual. Thank you.

Now is that really a fuckin' praying mantis walking around your canopy? Rad.

Edit:
When I finally move to a larger scale grow, I'm going UC all the way.

Edit: And for those of you thinking about posting large photos of hot semi-clothed or implied nude chicks in your thread, let me remind you that RIU is more lenient with me because I'm the photographer and copyrighted owner of these photos. Thanks for reading! :D

From medical marijuana dot org:

OG Kush (the original cut) came from an s1 form in a bag of a 91 Chemdawg in the Lake Tahoe area in 1996.
OG Is one of the strongest cannabis strains in the medical marijuana community. THC contents have been tested to be anywhere from 24-28% THC. The OG grows very viney with big spaces between inter-nodes. The OG loves feeding on N and calcium magnesium throughout the vegetative state. One thing you must do when growing this strain is to let it veg out and super-crop. Many novice growers that attempt to grow OG result in low yields due to no low stress training such as topping or super-cropping. This is a plant that wants to grow strong for its environment so give it lots of speed bumps and physical training prior to flower.
Around the 6th week of flowering, progressively decreasing the nitrogen concentration, you want to up the levels of phosphorus and (P) Potassium(K). PPMs of 1800 can be achieved with noticeable cola growth. Week 8 you want to completely cut all nutrients and give your plants a nice flush until week 10-11 depending on how well your environment treated your plants. Week 10-11 should be the window of when you should harvest OG Kush.

This is definitely viney alright. I think we're talking about the same plant. Speed bumps? How bout string, duct tape, and a tomato cage? Hope that'll be enough.

Edit:
I actually had to proofread the OG article above so that it would read better in my journal. Grammar police. Guilty as charged.

Really nice to see such beautiful, lush plants veg'ed under T5 fluoros. Mighty fine. Do you use different lights during the flowering phase?
Thank you.
I'm going to be flowering under 2x 1000w Hps & 1x 400w Mh.
If I had 1600$ I'd buy more T5 fixtures with aquarium bulbs and flower under them as well. My plants started producing trix' on the leaves 3 days after I switched over to this new light during veg, so I can only imagine how strong the buds would be if flowered under these lights as well.

Wow, that looks so cool. I don't think I've ever seen lights quite like that. Just what are they again?

They're aquarium bulbs for growing Coral.
I use 5 different bulbs to make up the color spectrum. It's like L.E.D lighting but with more P.A.R. lumens, watts, penetration & coverage.
My fixture is a H.O. T5 Quantum Badboy 16 bulb @ 54w/bulb drawing 986 actual watts, covering a 4'x4' area.... "I love this light!!"

Okay, now that they're laying down, the lower branches should catch up somewhat to the main shoot. It's already started pretty drastically on plant one.

P1 - I can see that lowest branch becoming one of the strongest colas like the Diablo before her. Something about being in that spot...

Now they're all, "Yellowing? What yellowing?"

P2 - The vine-like quality to these plants are gonna make it clear what I have to do in train strategy. The idea is to get 'em to thicken up in a horizontal position even before the side branches hit the screen. This way the main stalks will be maybe an inch or more lower than if I had just bent them against the screen as most folks do. I'll continue to force the main stalk down with string and focus on training its sub branches with the cage. Isn't this fun, boys and girls?


I think my setup's visual accessibility to the roots makes for some fun progress stuff you missed out on last time.


I really love this clean running AN base so far. Before I added the Hygrozyme, the smell of the solution wasn't quite right. The sweetness of it somehow balanced that calmag smell with the AN smell. The solution smells just right now.







I think these may be my most 'aero' looking roots yet. Good job, Urban Grower Mustache Guy. Anything you get up top is entirely dependent upon how well you nurture the bottom side.

Really cool. They definitely make for bitchin' fotos.

I'll respond to you with an update.

I left the sprayers running constantly and they drank 20ppm in less than two hours. I'm thinking about hyper-feeding to speed up veg... at milder nute levels, of course.

I have a 16 bulb T5 fixture with H.O. bulbs, too, so that makes me feel better about my setup. Unfortunately, in my only half-assed successful grow I had a bad problem with my plant outgrowing my cabinet during the flower phase, so that messed it up and I couldn't judge how well those lights could produce big buds. (I switched the bulbs to warm spectrum for flowering.) You've inspired me to try again with the same lights. My plant did veg very well at least. Next time I won't veg it out as big as last time, to give the plant more room to grow during flower. Thanks for the info!
