My first hydro w.pics

looking good that toped one is turning into a bush it might yeild high

Hi fallinghigh, yep it sure looks like it's going to be massive. I topped it twice as you can see and it's back at 32". The other one is about the same hight but was never topped on the top, only on the sides.

Reality check: I have 19" of grow space left, and maybe another 8" with tying back, and I'm in 11 days of flowering (not sexing yet)
Man, I'm going to hate having to cut buds off the top once I run out of space

I had an interesting conversation with my Hydro Shop guy. He says that in 15+ years of hydro growing bud, he has never drowned a plant in hydro, thinks it's not possible.
Says that all his drips are on 24/7, he just makes sure he has a 2" gap between the container and the reservoir, so oxygen can stay there for the roots.
He loves that my plants are taking up 500 ppm with the drip on, says it's like feasting on a buffet, the plants are taking what they want when they want (he says plants are smart and as long as the overall solution is not too hot it's great). Another argument he makes is that it's no big deal if the leafs are greener, just means that they are well fet, but as long as they are not burning I should continue like this. He actually thinks that if they get what they want when they want, it might keep their overall size down a little (don't ask me why he thinks that, I would think the opposite, but I know nothing,lol)
So, once again I'm torn regarding watering but I'm tending to want to go with what my hydro shop owner says, especially since I have seen no ill effects from drips on other than the rich green color they have?!

That's it for now, I'll post some more pics of my set up.

Cheers,
Unity

MABEY YOU SHOULD READ A THREAD BEFORE YOU REPLY. HE IS GROWING A HAZE DO YOU THINK HE WANTS A 7 FOOT INDOOR PLANT THIS IS THE 2ND TIME YOU ARE GIVING HIM ADVISE AND THE 2ND TIME YOU ARE WRONG

are you seriously attacking Earl? the guy gives nothing but sound advice based on pure experience.

btw douche, it's spelled "advice" what the hell is your problem?

oy.. Okay, I digress, I dont mean to flame this cool thread, and Unity is doing a great job with his plants, I just hate to see someone disrespect a fountain of kind knowledge. It pisses me off.

stick your foot in your mouth boy.


Unity, good job with your plants man, this has been a fun thread to follow, I hope your harvest is bountiful.

sorry, I had to do it.

Well, I don't think it's a crime for earl not to read all the way back in the thread, a consequential oversight at worst. On the other hand I was reading a lot for the last 2 months and knew already that Earl must not have been aware that I was growing Arjan's Haze.

Back to my grow, I'm in week 7 day 2. (10th day of flowering)
Yesterday I've started to tie the main stems back, I think if I keep that up on a daily basis I might be able to get through this grow without much more major topping.
Next time I will flower them at about 8-10"
The slightly smaller plant is looking great in every way, leafs and everything.
The bigger one is looking good too with one exception, about 2/3 up some of the medium sized fan leafs (brothers and sisters on both sides) are clawing in (down), not curling though. Color is dark green.
I've been thinking that it may be my temps, not sure though. Right now during lights on I'm at about 69 at the bottom of the plants to about 83 at the tops (keep in mind though that I have very good airflow over the canopy)(2x120mm fans above canopy & 1x120mm half high circulating & 1x120mm at intake circulating)
My lights out temps are between 66 and 69. (I'm wondering if that is too low???) (Hydro shop owner says the temps are ok?!, I'm not so sure)
Tell me what you think, but I think that they may not like the temp difference from top to bottom, so I've decided to go get some more fans (3) to circulate the grow room air better in order to obtain a more constant temperature from top to bottom. (I wouldn't like my feet freezing and my head sweeting,lol)
Advice on proper sativa temps would be appreciated!!! More than one opinion is always good!!!

I'll post some more pics tomorrow, you guys can let me know what you think of my tie down job, usually I only tie my girl down but why not
One more thing, on the smaller plant I now have 10 fingers on my new fan leafs, is that normal? All my other ones have max 7-9.

No worries man, I value Earl's opinion highly along with many others who make an honest attempt to be helpful & share experience or just cool pics of buds

Peace, Unity

id take some clones (2 each imo) right now and then u can make mothers out of the ones that are female and keep the best for cloning in the future
growing from seed is expensive and a pain in the ass
clone my son clone

I hear you, I hear you I allready took 2 each right when they went into flower! So far 3 are still alive, but only 2 look like they are going to ake it I'll post some pics this morning, going to need some advice on when to feed them first etc.

Unity

OK, here are some pics from the 2nd day of tying back, let me know what you think

Man, I'm sure not getting many replies, you guys think I'm in the wrong forum?

Unity

some more from 11days of flower

and a few more, man we sure love our babies

ur plants look alot better than mine did at that point
this being my first grow and not knowing this websites existed im going easy on myself lol
i love those waterfarm units have 4 myself
i have 4 ladies very close to harvest and am amazed at just how dense my bud is..... loaded with that sweet sugar we all love
u keep up what ur doing and ull have a bumper crop

hey, thanks for stoping by dagobaker. What strand are you growing? Got any pics?
It's quite a learning process for me, but I have found out what they need the most, those little ladys of ours. And that is, not to be f'd with all the time, lol, sadly it's also the hardest thing to do (or not to do) for me. I didn't realize how compulsive I was

Unity

here are a few and a early pic of a nice dank bud (white widow)

,love them!! My bud and me starded this project together, he has a little less headroom so he's growing the ww, and I'm growing the the freakin hedge. I think I made out the first pistils today, but patience is in order here, lol

You have any idea what's going on with some of my leafs (check post in 'plant problem forum)

Unity

looking verry good any sight of sex yet

Hey Fallinghigh, I'm pretty sure they are girls see pic.

One of them is having a bit of a leaf problem (the bigger one) you can check it out here: https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/43010-got-leaf-problem-arjans-haze.html

I did what I could with the responses I got from the web and my hydro shop, now I'll just wait and see for a view days. You know, the more I look at where the fan leafs claw in, i'm starting to think that it might be related to not getting enough light there

Here are some pics from week 8 day 2

You almost got all the info in your first post.

What is the pH?

What is the solution temp?

Why are you using CM+?
I am just curious why you think you need this.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Yellowing leaves are usually the result of a couple of problems.

First is lack of light.

Second is drowning.

--------------------------------------------------------
You are not experiencing any N deficit.

If you are drowning then you need more air in the root zone.

The yellow leaves will not return to green again.
They are toast for this grow,
go ahead and cut them off.

Only the new growth will tell you if you are on the right path.

900ppm is a pretty high nute load,
but if you are not experiencing tip burn,
then it is OK.

I only run 450-600ppm with AN nutes.
