Here I grow Go Log!!

[socialistpete]

I've been here a while but this is my first actual grow log.

I'm growing (4) NLxSkunk from Ontario seed bank. They are about 4 weeks from clone, not exactly sure I forgot to mark the date down. I'm growing them in a homemade recirculating drip system 10" net pots in black 5 gallon buckets. I built a stand for them that sits higher than the res which is an 18 liter tote. The drain through the bottom directly to the res. The setup was built to the specifications of my closet which is the veg room. I have them under two 4 foot T8 32w and am adding 2 more tomorrow. I'm using Gh 3part 8ml-8ml-8ml per gallon and 5ml of Liquid Karma. The temps are always between 72F-77F. Its hard to get good photos in the tight space but here are a couple and one of there mommy's in flower growing in dirt. Any suggestions or comments would be great.

Well I've been trying to post this with pics now for the past day and it wont let me so I'll try to post the pics later.

be sure to keep those fluoro tubes within an inch or so, of the canopy, they don't 'penetrate' much ... you will be able to grow very nice plants with tubes, (I did, for a long time) ... keep an oscillating fan on them 24/7 ... they will build stronger stems, and help counteract stretching to the lights ...good growing :thumbsup:

I usually keep the light right on them but had to lift it for pics. And have a 6 inch oscillating fan on the wall to keep the air circulation going right on them. This goddamn thing still wont let me upload pics, it says upload failed. How the hell am i suposed to do a grow log with out pics.

Thanks for the support everybody and hopefully soon I can get some pics up, maybe I'll try resizing them. But that will have to wait for tomorrow to stoned right now.:jointsmile:

Sweet Pete ,
You already have the attn. of some of the better of the sites minds . You'll do just fine . Gotta ask though , W.T.H are you using for medium ? You said you had up/down powder too . Do you pre mix it w/ water in other containers , or add it dry ?
Peace Bro.

Crispi, I'm using diatomite its cheaper than hydroton and it is also reusable. I ph my water before I add my nutrients, just throw the powder in the water. My tap is around 8.5 so 1/4 teaspoon is about right to drop it to 5.5 - 6.0. And so far the ph in my res has not needed to be adjusted and because of the plants size I am only changing the res solution every 10 days today is day ten so hopefully I'll have some new pics up tonight also. Thanks for stopping in as always your opinion means a lot to me.:thumbsup:

Heres some new pics. I still haven't put my other light up yet and they'll be needing it soon. My temps are a little cooler now but still consistent, 63-68. The first plant I topped 3 weeks ago, never done it this early so I'll see the results.

[socialistpete]

Added my second set of T8s today will have more pics up soon. The plant I topped has grown about a third of the height as the rest but the nodal spacing is very tight and the plant is getting much leafier.
