Well, I never completed a grow journal but I did finish the grow....to an unsatisfactory end results. Total pull was small, but I learned a whole shit load.
Just switched my current grow to flower over the past weekend and we are definitely on the "greener grass side of the fence";-)
Ice...
Week 6 of total grow. The grow used 2 1000w lights. Don't know the actual yield yet....spent 10+ hours yesterday cutting & manicuring....on top of....cleaning the tent and preparing it for Drying.
Going out know to catch a round of D-golf, lunch and then take a wet weight and some pics...
Wanted to say I did blast these girls with nutes and the flowers seem to thank me. Post up some pics later....going to chop them down this Sunday. The flowers look as if a snow storm hit 'em.
Here's a couple family pic's. They're from Week 6. Also attached, a couple pic's of some of the buds + 1 that I attempted FIM technique....they're still tiny, but I suspect them to start getting big quick. Please excuse the bushyness...first grow and felt so bad about cutting off too much...
Thanks Riddleme, even if it is from a 'Soil Guy' :wink:
Swapping out reservoirs tomorrow, and I'm going to set this guy at a pH 5.5
This should allow the some quick absorption of some nutes that actually may have been getting little if any (like P for phosphorous). Also widen the pH...
8 week total....day 58. Going to be switching over to Week 9 FoxFarms nutrients ( http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/FoxFarm-Hydroponic-Schedule.pdf )
running 1/4 strength throughout the grow. on week 4 of the schedule I went to a 1/2 strength mix....received nutrient burn, downgraded back to...
Here's a couple of pic's
This is not due to pests.
after noticing this degradation of the plants
relocated dehumidifier (set point at 45%) and reconfigured pots and lamps
performed a Cal/Mag adjustment to current volume of reservoir (1/4 strength)
Reviewed my image library...
MoradaJoe - I ended up using half the dose per gallon of sludgehammer. My system only uses 12 - 13 gallons to fill the system, so the steps I performed were:
15 gallons R/O water
don't recall the exact amount of Sledgehammer (half strength/gallon)
Continuous Flood/Drain for 2 hours
Forgot...
Flush cycle performed today.
Ran a mix of R/O water with FF Sledgehammer (pH to 5.8 ) for the little girls bath. Set up the reservoir and set 1 hour continual fill/drain cycle on timer. Cleaned up lines and meters and set-up week 5 nutrient solution.
Welly well well....This is my first grow.
I will be doing a flush cycle this weekend between reservoir changes. Been searching flushes and there is tons of information and mixed opinions. So this is what I have decided to go with....Please offer any suggestions, critique or a link to some...
Thanks for the welcome all!

Here's my current grow (just the start) from clones acquired from a local pharmacy and transplant to their new homes. Woes started pretty much immediately, the little ladies are doing quite nicely now. I'll be putting a journal together documenting this...
Howdy All,
a little about me - Totally new to growing, and breaking my cannabi-hymen. Been raiding forums, books and all kinds of research. Recently put together a small grow and am in the middle of veg as I type.
I'm a medical marijuana patient in my state. Looking forward to the...
