Waterfarm grow***alaskan ice***

alaskin ice very nice that is a new strain from greenhouse seed co and i want to see how the buds look and nice grow ill be watching

babys are nine days old today im almost showing third set of leave when should i add nutes im using gh flora series when would be a good time to start and how my ppm

good luck "Kirklandsfinest08" nice set up man, gonna be watchin!

I started the lowest strength as soon as roots started showing on my clones, I've changed low general purpose and am now on full vegging at about a foot tall. I saw some very small sines of nute burn I think (the ends of one of lower leaves got a little wavy) but it didn't manifest itself any more than that. You could definitely start putting in the lowest strength in now. The good thing about hydro is if you have the time to check every day it is probably really easy flush the resevior as opposed to soil growing. ANyway, I say go for it.

How has the grow been lately?

Great!!!! Plants are about 4 inch tall 4 leaf sets....Babys STINK!!! I started nutes about 4 days ago at 250ppm its now down to 110 so I'm thinking about changing water and adding new nutes... not sure how much ppm to do tho. Roots are showing threw bottom of bucket already!!!

How about your ladys?

Day 18 just to let you know i think its been pretty slow growth so far

It's faster growth than what I got from seed. My clones are doing really well, one is a lot bigger than the others, I think that it's the one from the slightly larger mother. The larger mother is just a way better all around plant I think, she has closer nodes, longer branches, is almost comletely resistant to spider-mites, (the other mother has quit the infestation but I just got some bug killer) faster growing and quicker into flowering. I was a little afraid that I had root rot but now I think that it's ok for longer roots to not be completely white. I just transplanted my larger mother today, and the buds are coming along. One of them smells almost peppery while the other just smells like weed, I forget which smells like which though. Anyway, 4 sets of leaves is pretty impressive for eighteen days. I'm glad I didn't screw things up when I told you to add nutes. Growth usually takes a while to take off. How big are you planning to let them get?

im not sure i think they are gonna be my mothers im going aero and keeping them in the waterfarms

Kirkland, found the thread YEAH! SUBSCRIBED...hope you don't mind me taggin along I defenitlly wanna see what this strain can do bruddah...

D

Thats smart. It's a good idea to use those as mothers.

Alright so heres a update its been awhile!!!!

Well its day 44 ....... babys are doing great. 3 Alaskan Ice Females

Im using these for my mothers and cloning to go into the 4 x 3 tables

I built my tables and put a groove in all the corners so i can push this rubber down to keep the panda film down tight!!

I have 2 1000 watt hps lights on there way!!

ummmm yeah i have this really weird thing going on with this plant...im sure you can tell by the pics can anyone tell me what that is please...

lets see ppm at around 1400
ph right at 5.8
temps stay around 76 day and 68 night
change nutes everyweek
18/6 light
400 mh for mothers
if you can think of anything i left out let me know!!

hmm that is weird...doesnt look like nute deficiency, maybe bugs? over all they look like there doing well

Thanks but no bugs i check them very good...

I was spaying that bubble water like the guy on youtube ...It might be from that but i dont know because it seems like new growth has some on it too.

One thing when should i clone????

bubble water is fine, its just ro h2o and co2....take your clones from the lower branches, their not gonna get much light anyways, and are gonna initiate roots easier...

thanks man whats the best way to do so....i still need to build or buy a setup for cloning what the best....

aeroponics and dwc offer best results....you can make a cloner out of a plastic tote, theres a good write up in STINKBUDS sticky'd thread....basically cut a strong lower branch 4 nodes down at a 45* angel...trim the extra sprouts off, dip it in clone juice, and stuff him in a rockwool cube that is soaked in water...put a dome over them for the first couple of days, because there are no roots, water will be absorbed through the leaf structure...give them a couple weeks, and they should be ready for transplant.

what should the temps be in the dome and how do i get 6 clones ....im doing s.o.g so the need to be ready fast i dont have weeks...whats the best way to do that`

temps should be close to ambient, i.e nothing over 85*, but humidity will be 95%-100% this is fine for first few days...so those 3 are your mothers? i would take 4 clones from each...extra for insurance...the good thing if you build a DWC cloner, is you can let them veg in there too....so let the roots develop, its gonna take about 2-3 weeks, let 6 veg for 2-3 weeks, then move them to flower...let the other 6 veg for another 4 weeks...then move them to flower...so you have staggard harvest, every month... rinse and repeat...why only 6, you in cali?

ok so i just read your entire thread haha...i would start to flower some clones immediately, just to make sure you have females...i dont care if you bought feminized seeds, better safe, than fucked...

i thought that would be a good number i have a lot of room so whatever what should i do???? No by the way what about you
