Oh kool. The Ionic Big Bloom and the Flora nova bloom were the two best ones that the guy at the hydro shop suggested to me and DLC.


Kool, How do you like it? I love the Ionic. : )

Do you have any salt build up?

I love the flora series...i also add hygrozyme and floralicious plus to my nute schedule as well as B'Cuzz Root and Superthrive...

no salt build up whatsoever...plus its all pH buffered...maintains at 6.2 always!

ideal nute schedule...very easy to maintain...but i go thru a lot of em'

Ya. I love the Ionic, No salt buildup yet. The pH is also buffed on mine : )


Eh I would get confused about all those nutes. lol!

yeah, theres a ton to choose from...keep it simple is the best way...

Hay JB your plants are looking fantastic, thought I'd drop in and check your grow out looking great bud.

I just got may BP system going 4 days ago and it's working great! can't wait you know what I mean!! puff puff

here's a few pics of my Big Bud @ 4 weeks old...

So I had some resin hits last night ( because I'm all outta budz) and came up with a plan to use my 400 watt'r for my flowering plants...I transplanted my flowering plants into my DWC tote and put my Big Bud seedlings into the 5 gal bubblers under my 150 watt Hps set at 18/6.

When i put my flowering plants into my DWC under my 400 watt'r...it really became obvious that these plants really have grown!

I now have 3 Bliss into flower and 1 Big Bud into flower.

Here's a coupla pics to show you how big the plants are!

nice JB! they are doing so good and ya they are big goodjob

well, i unfortunatly found out that the big one was a male and quickly ended his life It sucks that with so much hard work and patience that sum of em' turn out to be male...well, that's the last male i will have in a looong time...

Wow! Nice plan! I like that. So are you trying to do a propetual(spelling?) grow going where you have a harvest every 2-3 weeks?

That would be some cool shit.

Mother the BB.
Clone into RW to veg.
Throw vegged clones into flowering DWC.

Repeat.


Would be perfect!

Here's my DWC setup under my 400 watt Hps system set at 12/12...plants have been under flowering schedule for almost a week....

The Big Bud is in the front right...

notice how friggin' huge the Big Bud fan leaves are!?

looking good jb those are some nice looking hand sized fan leaves

Whoa! Huge leaves! lol!

How often will you be harvesting?

Do you HAVE to have rooting hormones to clone? Could I take a clone before the hairs show up and stick it under 12/12? Or would it not grow anymore?

I'll be harvesting every two weeks...yeah, i have 3 different rooting hormones...trying to see which is best...

yeah, you can clone before sexual maturity...but you cant stick it in under 12/12 lighting...you need at least 18/6 lighting schedule...that's why i have two grow rooms

Damnit, I just wish I had the room for a mother or just to take clones from the plants before they hit maturity. Ugh. Makes me sick to think about how much easier it would be to clone...

just figure how much $$ you'd be saving without ever having to buy seeds again...
