My bubblefied CFL grow

day 44

friday i changed the res and I looked at FF chart wrong and added 3tbl of Grow Big and 1 1/4tbl Tiger Bloom(shouldnt have added that) 1tbl Big Bloom..I feared I was going to force my plants into nute burn but they are actually happy, dark green, and standing up...well except the one that wreaks..its sagging now...but before the lights went off this morning it was standing up...here are a few pics since the lights just came on

the small one is about 3-4 weeks old(i'd have to add up the dates) its a seed from some blue dream that my connections man grew...I had a big ole nug in the bag and as I was breaking it apart to put in my grinder I found this seed...I actually jumped for joy :grin:

I'll be sending them into 12/12 saturday...Im so happy :weed:

sorry for the pics being sideways...I took the pics right side up but when they transfered from my iphone they always come out sideways

i would be curious what your ppm are? It looks like you aer over feeding them the one pic is very nute burned. I would suggest half tsp per gal till they look better. Less is more.

I dont have a PPM meter...I have been real strapped for cash lately...I have been professionally unemployed for a few weeks now..hopefully i can get a ppm meter and a job within the next few weeks.

my roots look real good...I flush my plants every week when I change the res since my air stone is usually covered in sludge when I change the water...the two big ones have a light brown tint to them and the small one still has white roots..I use 2 tbl of h2o2 every day in 2 gal of water..as far as size the two large plants have roots about equil to there height while the little one is only about 2" and has 3" roots with a lot of spliting

dont worry I like the help..they are a little browner than usual since I messed up and added the tiger bloom...so I should try a tsp next time??

1 tsp of h202 per gallon of water. the one does have root rot(it's not terrible) what is the temp of your rez?

sympLED · Feb 23, 2010

I've always been advised by many growers to not use h2o2 with FF because of the organics in it. You can use the h202 but don't use it with the FF nutes. After the roots recover, add the nutes again with no peroxide.

wiseguy316 · Feb 23, 2010

good call the peroxide will kill the good micro's along with the bad.

so when I change the water next I shouldnt use nutes and peroxide only??

Day 47

wel this is the last day of 18/6...the smell is very strong so I believe they are telling me there ready

I changed my setup a little...I changed the tub to a 10gal blue tub so I wont need the aluminum foil like i had on my small tub to block the light...I also figured since they were going to get big they needed root grow room...I got lucky and the tub has holes next to the handles and my air tubes fit perfect in them...I have a pretty good bubble going on and the bubbles flow to the outside where the plants are before they pop but I still would like to get the same pump and airstone to make sure my plants get plenty of air...the pump is only rated at 5 gal but it should work for a week until I get another pump..I also will proably be adding a couple more lights...they will proably be 100w/26w red spectrum cfl's for support since my 4 250W/55W cfl's seem to be doing the trick...Ive changed my water and added the right amount of nutes per FF chart..here are a few pics of my new setup along with pics of the plants

Day 48
Day 2 12/12

well everything has been going fairly smooth..the tall and thin plant is suffering with root rot and it hardly has any roots...the other bushy plant has a small amount of root rot but nothing major..I flushed them and the roots good and got most of the rot off the bushy one but the tall lanky one still has some...I have been adding 10 tsp of h202 to my 10gal res...the small gal has roots that put the other 2 to shame...there about twice the height of the plant and look great...sorry about the sideways and the one upside down pic

snizzim · Mar 4, 2010

Day 53
Day 6 12/12

well still adding h2o2 everyday...the tall and lanky is shooting new white roots out of the side of the net pot and is starting to look better...all of them are starting to get bud shoots(whatever there called) :lol:

well enjoy the pics and ill update again soon :bigjoint:

sorry again for the retarded iphone pics...I promise you i wasnt so high I was hanging upside down in my grow room...lol

snizzim · Mar 8, 2010

I wanted to do a quick update...all my ladys have been doing great until recently...I wnet into the room today and find that my two biggest plants (which are from the start that i veg'd without nutes until I got some decent nutes) started to get pistols but also at the top of the plant started to grow balls...the bitches went lady gaga on me...lol...I want to let them finish but I dont want those weirdos harming my beautiful Blue Dream which is about to start showing pistols...I'll let them go until friday or saturday then im gonna ax them and move my blue dream back to my 1 gal container to concerve on water and nutes....does anybody have any ideas on what I could do with those freaks??...I thought about making some green dragon but not sure on how to do it without bud...I got some vaped bud I have been saving for brownies that i could use..just wondering if anybody has any ideas...

I read where some people were transplanting them to there local police stations front lawn...dk if i have the balls to try that...lol

SimplyBaked · Mar 9, 2010

lol good luck with that

snizzim · Mar 10, 2010

^^..lol...I dont think me or my plants have enough balls between us to do that

but another update....with the great timing of ebay and the postal service i got my 15 gal air pum in...woooo...to bad I'll be going down to a tiny container friday and the 5 gal pump will be plenty for the one plant :wall:
