New Pics of the ladies

[Elfmannbca]

Just wanted to show some pics of the ladies ( Big Bud) I am growing. Have two seperate rooms and have it set up 6 weeks apart in the harvest. Am using advance Nutr. in a drip hydro grow. The bigger room measures 6 ft by 6ft and 6 high, Smaller room is 6 ft by 4 ft and 6 ft high. Use 1 1000 watt light in each room. The lights are in a closed looped light tube to keep as much hear out of room as posible. Also there are exhoust fans near top of each room and also a circulating fan near the floor. What I normaly do is use the smaller room for the growing and first few weeks of flowering, then transfer to bigger room for the other 6 weeks of flower. I then start another batch of clones in the smaller room. The bigger room at time of pictures is at end of week 4 of flowering. Have either 2 or 3 weeks more of flowering before harvest. The smaler picture is after week 2 of grow cycle.

I'm with turtle! Very nice!:D

Your plants are looking very nice! Are you sure you only have a few more weeks though? By the looks of the pics, you got probably another 4-5weeks or growth, maybe another.

Inspect the trichs good to ensure prime harvest time :cool:

Peace

hard to tell at moment though will be looking at the trichs and am looking for 50 - 50 mix. Hard to tell with the big Bud. am more use to Blueberry and time frame more with them. But each strain little different though. Thanks for input and will keep informed on progress

damn those are looking great, could you let me know how you set up your hydro, and what nutes you use?Thinkin of making a very miniature version of what you have.

Room set up. Well guess the best way to describe this is right from the beginning. I grow in a unheated crawl space in the basement. The room itself is 6Ft by 6 ft and 6 high. The floor is made from 2"*6" which is insulated and has vapor barrier then plywood on top of that. Walls and even the door is made from 2"*4" which is also insulated and vapor barrier and covered in plywood. Floor and walls have been primed then painted flat white paint. The Hydro system is a 4 bucked drip with a reservoir that is out side the room. I kept the res. out the room for two reasons, 1st not enough room in main room, and 2nd with res. Out of the room will stay cooler and less chance of food being contaminated. Contamination might be a bit of overkill on the worry part but also make beer so something stuck in my mind; Lol. Most Hydro supply stores can supply a simple 4 bucket system. For the light I went with a 1000 watt and also got a tube shade with it so to have a close system that will cool just the light and remove the heat from it. This is vented into the basement as hate the idea of putting 1000 watts of heat out doors. There is also a 6â?� exhaust fan set up near the ceiling that removes access heat from room and that is vented out doors. The timer controls the light and as it goes on the exhaust also comes on at same time. During the time no light on there is also a heater. During the day heat is around 78 and at night 68. I did a dry run with no plants of a few days just to get temperature Working. The food I use is Advance Nutrients , (http://www.advancednutrients.com/) There are cheaper foods out there but reason went with them as like there nutrient calculator which made it easier to mix up the food. I use clones and do not count the first week when I put clones in the room as am using this time to get the babies acclimatized to the room. The nutrient solution is mixed at 400 PPM and light starts up high in room. On the 3rd day will lower the light a ft and each day lower till it is about a ft away from plants. Another advantage of using the air cooled shade. One thing I would like to stress is that very important if going with hydro you measure the PH. and PPM on a daily bases. You have a target PPM each week. I add the food and get it up to a certain PPM measure the PH and adjust. Only add food once a week but during the week if PPM gets to high add water. If water level gets to low add water. On the last day of the week will empty and clean the res. Add Just water and run for 24 hrs. This flushes and removes any salt build up in roots. Next day add the food to new target level. As you are checking the PPM and PH on daily basses you know what the plant is doing. There are days when the water levels drop and other days it takes in a lot of food.

After the next harvest I will take pictures of the set up to give a better idea of the room.
Any more questions do not hesitate to ask.
