I hated my time with hydroton. I had to find a better way. Turns out lava rock brings many important benefits to F & D, or Spray/Drip set ups

Update:

Week 7 (day 46/63 aprox.)

Well guys i had to take co2 till my next grow that im going with a 80cmx80x160cm so ive got a little more space so i dont have humidity problems, i have the intake/exhaust 24/7
And as you can see in the photo im perfect in humidity and temps

I think the girls are skinny, im with 210 watts aprox. Dont know if im gonna be around the 150grs or more, but still between 17 and 25 days, the think is the cotton candy are all nice and big, but the black jacks definetly are skinny like the strawberry coughs but black jack is suposed to be high yield so maybe ive got the more sativa pheno and have to go one week more, dont know =(

The thing is they are sugary as hell, never saw that type of snowy girls nowhere and the smells, when i move the candys uuuf like im eating cotton candy XD hahahah

last week i have added minimum those of bloombastic.

These week i have lower the ppm's to 1200 (last wekk 1400) and stop the big bud and start giving overdrive.

I have had ph problems since the first week (dont use asphaltic material to cover your tray, next grow im covering it with polyfilm so i dont have nevermore those ph and ec highs.

Here are the photos

Hi guys heres an update.

Im in day 54 of 63 so so, i have began the flushing because i have saw some amberish tricoms like 2%, 70% whiteish and the 28% clear so i think theill be ready sooner than 63 days, im gonna cut with only 15% or 20% amber, ill love the sativa highs, so i preffer getting finer effects than more yield =)

Here are some photos.
how many more days to the cut?

Wow I'm really late to this nice little grow but everything looks very good bro. Super frosty! In my personal experience most strains take 2 weeks longer than breeder/bank recommendations. There have been a couple strains that were spot on for me like my last 60 Day Lemon auto that finished in 61 days but that is rare. Once you get your ppm down to around 200-300 I would let them cannibalize themselves for a week or two, that way you can be sure there is no nasty nute tastes. Great job man, just my two cents worth, I'm sure you will be fine!

Thanks a lot Slinger, since yesterday my ppm's are in 300, pure ro water with some callmag and final phase, ph in 6.2 straight.
Did you see the trics in the photos? the bank says 63 days and i think the black jacks and cotton candys are still getting a little bit fatter, now im just gonna let them feed from themselves as you know, i dont want any nuts taste in my flowers =)

THanks for passing my friend!

Never trust the bank's flower time, haha.
In 2 weeks they'll have a lot more amber, so ride the line between more cloudy trichs and unflushed bud... you can alleviate a short flush with a longer cure, though.

Thanks Highocaine!!! Seen the pics what do you think? Im getting now like 5% amber 65% cloudy and 30% clear, if i guide for the bank i have to cut on tuesday.

what do you think? I cut earlier? A lot of guys let their girls one week or more of what the bank says to get more yield, but i preffer cutting them at their finest point.

ill get some more photos today so maybe you can guide me.

thanks Higho!

I placed a link in one of my threads (also on IC) that even tells what day and month is best. You will have to do a search for it. If I find it I will post

I had a few ol' hippies years ago tell me that the moon pulled the THC up into the buds. We would harvest during a full moon with the belief that the pull was the strongest and the buds were at their peak. I thought there was some truth but didn't know how much. It wasn't until a few weeks ago I started reading the article from PetFlora and realized that there was something to this theory.

Yeah, but a full on full moon is a peak that is neutral compared to waxing/waning, so plant 4-5 days before; harvest 4-5 days after
