DAY 12 of 12/12: Upgrade the HPS from 250w to 400w! Oh yeah! The 400W Digital Ballast & bulbs that I ordered have arrived and that means one thing and one thing only - CABINET UPGRADE TIME!! Yep you heard me right! Time to put the 250W HPS out to pasture for the meantime and bring out the...

Hehe yep I'm right there too at the moment. After the last harvest, even though it was an unimpressive yield it felt like the buds would never run out so of course you give baggies away here and there to friends. Before you know it, you're hitting crumbs in the bottom of the jar and scraping...

Thank-you kindly FG! Take care bro.

Hehe yes don't get me wrong, she loves the sativas as well but at night she wants some indica she reckons. I intend to keep going with a 2-plant DWC Scrog in the future as I just want weed for personal use so I'm not too worried about yield. I'm all about quality me :-)

Comparison: Day 1 and11 of 12/12: Sorry, couldn't help myself posting a little side-by-side comparison since 12/12 started 11 days ago: Day 1:Day 11:

DAY 11 of 12/12: Ok so I'm sitting there twiddling my thumbs, waiting for my girls to grow with nothing to do, so of course I'm going to rig up a cheap & nasty CO2 generator! Below recipe is for my two plants in DWC only. Don't bother using this method to generate CO2 if you have any more...

Must be nice getting to know your strains so well FG and bloody nice of you to be looking out for your breeding mates like that. After my current grow of Joey Weed's C99 x AK47 is complete, it has been "suggested" by my wife that I grow something more mellow for her. "I smoke that stuff before...

Nice tips there Flo! Much appreciated sir! I am planning to rework my cabinet after this harvest and I'll definitely work in some semi-rigid/rigid ducting after reading your post. Sounds like just what i'm after! I may not even need any ducting at all if I vent straight out of the roof/back of...

Just leave the burnt leaf tips my friend - they don't harm the plant. Cutting them just slows down plant growth temporarily and doesn't help your harvest. Gro on bro!

Hmm definitely food for thought FG! You've made me rethink my cooltube arrangement now. I think that after this grow finishes I will rework the cabinet to try a grow without the cooltube to get some comparative results. That will mean removing the ducting from the current cooltube setup and...

Hey there wiimb, Are you trying to test any ideas out with this grow or just get a juicy harvest? In any case looking forward to following your grow bro!

Very nice FG! I definitely feel there are a couple of cabinet tweaks I could make to improve the venting (i.e. up through the cabinet roof rather than out via the utility space) but this will require me to do some carpentry after this grow is complete. Right now I am dying to throw a 400W HPS...

Hey Flo - much respect for rounding up your thread brother! Nice harvest by the looks of it. Just curious more than anything else (and sorry if you've posted this elsewhere) - are you growing out seeds for any specific sort of breeding program? It sounds like you are doing it for a reason so...

I am at Day 10 of 12/12 of my 2nd DWC Scrog grow. My first DWC Scrog grow was from seed. My current grow was started from clones taken from bonsai moms established during the 1st DWC Scrog grow and this grow from clones far surpasses the density and robustness of the vegged plants from my seed...

Should I upgrade to 400W HPS? Does anyone think it would be a really bad idea to upgrade my light from a 250w HPS to a 400w HPS? I would use the same cool tube as I am currently using for the 250w HPS and just change out the ballast/bulb for the 400w. I just felt one of the aspects of my last...

Also just wanted to correct a couple of points $waGgEr made: 1. pH is not too high at current level of 5.3 - it is too low. Ideal Hydroponic pH range is between 5.6-6.2. Ideally, try to keep it as close to 5.8 as possible when starting out. Any higher than 6.2 and you are blocking the plant...

Hey Nzime and congrats on your first grow bro! Just curious, but why have you continued to cut the tips of the leaves off after cloning? I know it is common practice to trim the leaves when you take cuttings for clones (to reduce moisture transpiration from full-sized leaves while clones...

Your first picture of the seedling looked fine. If anything some over-watering can cause your leaves to droop like that but no sign of nute burn on your leaves so you were right to just wait and not try to adjust anything in your grow. When you grow from seed, once the seedlings break the...

Awesome news Tmac. Sounds like things are back on track then. Could be worth leaving the beneficial bacteria out and staying with the H2O2 for a little bit longer until you are really happy things are back on track. Grow on bro!

It can be a bit daunting starting out with hydro as the costs all soon add up - lights, building materials, fans, nutes, etc. But once you get it setup you will start learning in leaps and bounds and end up with better smoke for you and your friends. Being self-sufficient is an excellent...
