Ok its dark now.... very tiny bit getting through the medium but I think its fine (Ahh I guess ill add small black plastic discs on top of the medium). Changed water out added full str nutes and 60ml H2O2. I think the smaller plants can handle it if not I can remove them and put them in a seperate res. and flush at first signs of burn. PH sitting at 5.8 and TDS is 1050 PPM. Its distilled water.

Your setup looks very similar to mine:http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=79810. Like the guy said....block out all your light and you should be fine, and that includes the nutrient tank too if ya can. But not as important. Your pH looks good. Only thing I would watch for is the bigger plants hogging some light as they get a little bigger and block the smaller ones. Otherwise looking good though.

Yea well currently I kinda have a 100W MV lamp I just ordered a 400W MH and will put the plants in a bigger rubbermaid in a bit. Plus im doing ScrOG

Cyclonite

Well turns out they didn't like that PPM of 1050....does it look like nute burn? Oh well first time, bound to happen. I followed the directions for full str. Anyways as soon as I noticed (which was on the 2 largest im guessing because they have the largest root system and took it up the fastest) I removed some nute/water mix from the res and replaced it with distilled water, I put the distilled water in through the pots to help flush out anything sitting in the pots. My PPM is now 650 and I also said screw it with the 100watt MV and put them under a 400Watt HPS until my 400watt MH gets here. Did I do the right thing? Ill update in a couple days with the health. I also put perlite on the top of the soil to reflect heat and block light...the discs I made kinda sucked. Please reply soon saying "everything will do ok you did a good job" I hope. Oh and it started on the bottom leaves....thats the only ones so far, just 2. They are still just as green its just the HPS.

Keep posting them pics would like to see them girls grow

400 watt HPS is going to be a lot better then a 100 watt metal. Most people use HPS through out the entire grow. I personally have never used MH, ever, but it is supposed to be better I guess.

Sucks on the nute burn, but 1050 is pretty high ppm for their size. Depending on what your water starts as, I would give them around 400ppm of nutes because those little ones wont be able to handle much and they are in the same rez. The larger ones could probably take 600. I give my full growns about 1200ppm of nutes, (leaving me at about 1500ppm), but they are 2.5 feet tall.

Yea the little ones were doing good at 600 ppm before, the only reason I got the MH was for the Veg since ill be doing flower at the same time, that is if the clones work out and all. I tend to read allot and dive in deep....first grow with aeroponics. Do they look the right size for 3 weeks from seed, I read somewhere that they should be 1-2ft by now. I was using that MV lamp though, they probably would be the right size if I just used the HPS to start.

1-3 weeks from seedling and 1-2 feet is pretty optimistic in my eyes... If you start with rooted clones then you can usually get 1-2 feet in a few weeks. MV is really inefficient and not as good as MH, although both are very hot when compared to HPS. Im considering getting a switchable ballast and giving MH a try in a closet to see if I notice a different, however I am very happy with HPS results.

09-07-2006, 06:29 PM

Well the leaves seem to be kinda hanging so I added 60ml of H2O2....I think ill drop the PPM even more. I dont want to over do it. Ill go for 300 ppm and flush with tap water since iv been using distilled im kinda concerned about cal mag def.

Cyclonite

09-08-2006, 01:07 AM

Drooping is normal after a flush or a good water right? I think the level was a bit high after my flush so I dropped it....im still waiting on my airstones to arrive should be tomorrow...3 12"s. So im kinda just using a wick system for now, just having the very bottoms of the pots touch the water in the rez....I was just thinking DWC for Veg and Aero for flower. Does that sound like it would work good? I do have a air pump with just the tube resting in the water and I use H2O2 a little every day or every other.

Cyclonite

09-10-2006, 03:16 AM

Well they didn't seem to be growing so I really flushed them and they are going to get just water for 2 days then slowly ramp up nutes. Here are some new pics. They have 3 12" airstones now so im going to lay off the H2O2 unless I see problems. This is the first day I noticed growth. I also have some superthrive in the mail..I hope the big one is female.

09-10-2006, 06:33 PM

try adding sum calcium and magnesium to your plants when you add nutes.

when plants lack these is slows the growth a lot

Cyclonite

09-11-2006, 12:30 AM

Thanks...I looked at my nutes and it does have cal and mag in it...also I used tap water this time and will from here on out. I dont see a huge benefit from distilled....I will continue to use distilled on clones seedlings ect, but tap for developed. Oh BTW they are looking much better....I put them on 19/5 and 15% nutes today, ill post a pic tomorrow.

Cyclonite

09-11-2006, 06:05 PM

Well recovery is good and they are growing allot....I cant tell if there is any pref lower but I would like everyones option. Nutes are around 30% 5.6 PH. Temps a bit warm in the lower 90's but I dont think my temp gun is accurate, I think the mylar messes it up. It feels nice to my hand and temp is to be taken out of the light right?

Radium

09-13-2006, 03:57 AM

Hey there I've just looked over your threads and noticed a few things u could be doing better. First off what nutes are you using and how are u mixing? Second why are you adding h202??

You're growing using hydroponics if you have net pots suspended into the nutrients with an airstone and airpump in the res. Aeroponics is when you spray the nutrient solution on the roots and the excess drains back into the res anyhow... the perlite was a shitty idea they are fine with the hydroton like that and the foil on top of your res is pretty much useless as well u can chuck that out if you want. Don't be as paranoid of light as these people have made it out to seem but now you dont want be growing in a clear container...

Now these are all seeds so some will be male and some will be female.. u ahve them all in the same res so roots are going to grow together and you gotta watch for males and cut them down and throw them out asap or else they will pollinate your females and ruin your entire crop :( Also they are all different sizes and that is going to be a nightmare during flowering as the larger ones will block all light from the smaller ones and also the smaller plants don't need as strong nutes as the bigger ones....

I've never heard of anyone doing 19/5 light cycle either.. either go 24/0 or 18/6 I go 18/6 personally myself and use flouros for vegging and a 1000watt HPS for flowering. You made the right call in using your 400 Watt HPS and I would continure to use that for veg and flowering and take your Mercury Vapour light and throw it against a wall or something..When you do switch to flower just do it instantly no need to do anything gradually like you planned.. go 18/6 and the day you want to flower go 12/12 just like that it will not hurt your plants in anyway.

You said you are using tap water now what is the ppm of your tap water?? What are you using to adjust pH and how often are you adjusting it and how often are you doing res changes?

Let me know some of this info and I can teach you everything you need to know... alot of these idiots aren't really helping you!

Cyclonite

09-13-2006, 03:12 PM

Well im using DutchMaster ONE. I have one for flower and one for veg...im definitely going to go with a 3 part advanced nutes when I run out. At first the H2O2 was for extra O2 because I didnt have my airstones yet and paranoia of root rot. Now I have the stones and roots look nice.

Its going to be an aero grow when they flower...im still messing around with some ideas, I bought a fogger and will see how it works when it arrives. Good price. Right now its just a DWC. I have 2 separate grow sites and 1 400Watt HPS and 1 MH now. Tap water is about 150 ppm, I have PH up and down and adjust as needed...mostly I use PH up since my nutes are acidic. I pre mix them all when I add more water I mix everything together then pour into the res. The mylar really just blocks light on the top and I figured a little extra wont hurt.

20/4 should be fine...I didn't want to run 24 and I figured 2 more hours from 18 may help. I got my MH yesterday and hooked it up, the little ones are actually the same age as the bigger ones, they are just way late on sprouting for some reason. My res temp stays 70-80 and im always on the lookout for root rot and problems. Right now I change my res weekly. Im going with a much larger res today (16 gal)...the current one is like 4 gallons and I add fresh water with a nute mix everyday.

I appreciate any experience or guidance you can share thanks. Ill post pics later today...heres a link to the fogger I bought.http://www.reptiledirect.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1023

09-13-2006, 03:38 PM

i might be late in the thread but as far as nute burn iv taken my shit to 1600 without it, but once have added 2ml of peroxide to the mix and it looked just like nute burn, i will never add the shit anymore unless its a total meltdown with root rot just my 2 pennys

Cyclonite

09-13-2006, 04:56 PM

2ml of 3% shouldn't do anything, 2ml sounds right per gallon if its 30%. Iv added way more than that as well as others on many threads. 30ml per gallon is what is recommended for a fresh res, I use 1/2 that. Its never too late for input, that why I created this:rasta:. As long as its slightly intelligent please post or even to say "lookin good!:thumbsup: "

09-13-2006, 05:43 PM

Ok heres the latest and greatest straight from the GR.

Radium

09-13-2006, 06:06 PM

Why add it if you don't need it? I would back off on the h202 for now.. those smaller plants don't require the same nutrient strength as the bigger ones either so either the small ones will burn or the big ones won't get enough of what they need...

Cyclonite

09-13-2006, 06:11 PM

I stopped adding after I got all my air stones in, the little guys can handle 1/2 str nutes and the larger ones seem to be doing good with it, might be able to do better but I want the growth to even out. That will all be solved with my first round of clones anyways... I hope all the little ones are males...weaklings.

Cyclonite

09-14-2006, 05:11 PM

Ok I changed them into a larger res....15gal of nutes. They seem to have gotten over being changed out. There was about 500ppm of nutes and they showed a tiny bit of burn so I added 2 gal of water. I think that's on spot for now, they are growing nice. I wish the little ones would grow faster. Here's a pic of my biggest and smallest plants.

Cyclonite

09-15-2006, 10:13 PM

Ok so I added 7.5 ml of super-thrive to my 12 gal res. Also I just got some foxfarm nutes....ill do 1/2 of what it says for foliar spray and add a few pumps of mist everyday....come flower ill just use the foxfarm...I think it will be better than dutchmaster ONE.

Awww, maaaan! You got you some beautiful babies there, Cyclonite. I'm doing a White Widdow Hydro grow myself and having a bit of a prob, so my babies aren't looking that lucious at the moment :( , though they looked like supermodels about a week ago.:o

I finally figured out what the trouble I was having was. Bacteria.:sadcrying I thought it was algea, but there was no visable signs and none of the symptoms matched an algea infestation. now I gotta get some stuff to kill the bacteria and something else to keep it from coming back.

Your grow is sweet though. I'm envious, but not jealous. I can't be anything but happy for a fellow H. Sapiens who's successfully giving the Man the finger and living happily in peace. I'm glad yours is going well and wish mine still was. I have high hopes that it'll get better as soon as I get the stuff I need.

Don't be as paranoid of light as these people have made it out to seem but now you dont want be growing in a clear container...

Well I should have been, I noticed some weren't looking as good so I open up the res and take a good long look. ALGE!!!...a fair amount of it. At least that's what I'm assuming, slimy stuff covering the roots, air stones, and sidewalls. So res changed just now....I switched over to fox farm also. I hope that doesn't traumitize them. Res is completely light tight now and I will have to be more diligent about res temps....time for daily ice.

Damn well sometimes the hard way is the best way to learn.

Should I cut off the snot covered part or the roots? Its only in the water above they look ok. White in color its just roots in the water.

Tommygirl

09-19-2006, 01:42 AM

Morbid curiosity here...what colour is the algea?

As for trimming the roots? *shrug* I'm not sure. Seems like they should have enough root to support them until they can grow back, but I wouldn't take my word on that if I were you.:p

Cyclonite

09-19-2006, 03:07 PM

Its looks like white snot...I left the roots alone. I also decided until I can get a better handle on the temps the fogger will be put aside for now. The plants look ok though....im always thinking they should be growing much faster though. So anyone else on cutting the slime off? I mean how much good stuff can they take up with all that crap on them? Im going to try some algae remover from the pet store first....

Cyclonite

09-19-2006, 03:34 PM

Can anyone tell the sex? Its looking better after the H2O2....I will continue to add 8ml H2O2 per gallon for a while

allrightname

09-20-2006, 04:41 PM

Might be careful how long you add that H2O2 for because it also kills off helpful bacteria/ allege that should be there...

Cyclonite

09-20-2006, 08:24 PM

All I know is the algae is sucking up O2 and chocking my roots. As far as the H2O2 its making them look better....probably from the O2 they need. I have lots of bubbles but my temp is like 78 in the res. So if I leave it be the roots are goners I'm guessing.

Cyclonite

09-21-2006, 04:06 PM

Well today I did some sniping at the roots and changed my res AGAIN!!. :mad: I took off the heaviest covered parts of the roots and switched them to chemical nutes with H2O2. It seems the tides are turning in the great algae battle....soon it will be gone. I hope the root snip isn't going to hurt them too bad, It seems like they have enough left to do fine.

Cyclonite

09-25-2006, 02:46 PM

OK well I won the algae battle......I had no idea how much a difference 75Fto 65F res temp would make....they are really taking off now. I'm going to flower the big ones soon. For anyone reading this RES TEMPS IN A DWC ARE EXTEREAMLY CRITICAL I know its been said before but I thought there wouldn't be too many negative effects at 75F but the difference is night and day.

Been a bit time for an update, well the 3 little ones were transplanted into soil and will finish so. The others were put under a 400 watt HPS and are a couple weeks or so into flower, one of the ones left in hydro got burnt a little but everything is back on track. Iv been LSTing as you can see which is also working good.

Looks good. I will have lots of questions after you make it through the whole cycle, dry it and smoke it... (I smelled some recently that smelled badly of chlorophyll) Hell, maybe Im just PARANOID right now!

I have been watching your thread of course, but havent read everything...

Maybe you could post a single post of what nutes, etc you have used throughout the process so far. All the technical stuff you have used... Lighting, ventilation, water, nutes, soil, anything else you think would be helpful.

Also, I see a lot of pics, but nothing I can find to SIZE the plants. How tall are they??? A photo with a ruler or tape measure would be very helpful. I am trying to decide on seeds to order... And is SMELL an issue???

Good luck on an Awesome Harvest. The plants look healthy to me... Is there 7 leaf with the 2 blade leaves or does the WW only produce a 7 fan leaf? I dont see any with 7 serrated leaves and 2 straight leaves?

You can post on my thread: My Grow Pics. Your Harsh Opinions! in Hydroponics as well.

Good Luck! Chow~

10-26-2006, 09:39 PM

They were around 10" when put into flower some a bit bigger. After that I LSTed them all. Mini bungee cords kick ass for that. Im not sure how much I spent...I could have spent allot less for what I ended up using. I did allot of experimentation. Around $1,000 or so in all....but the next one will just be electricity and nutes. I have a 400W MH, 400W HPS, 80Watt 4' Flouro and a 15W 18" flouro. I use them as I see fit, no point in wasting electricity. Hydro can be a pain at first but once everything is dialed in its pretty sweet.

I would like to add...I read up above, someone described aeroponics as different from hydroponics...FYI: aeroponics, DWC , drip, ebb and flow, etc. are all hydroponic methods.
goodluck peace

Plain old DWC is an awfully efficient method to grow bushes/trees. IMO Everytime I try aeroponics (I've tried many designs) the sprinkler system clogs unless you stay all over it.

Just as a matter of discussion Aero is best suited to rooting.
DWC and Drip is probably the most productive...Aero is productive, but requires more stringent monitoring.

ebb and flow is an all around simple method, but I prefer to use e&f for rooting seedlings or cuttings.

Ok, so I was checking stuff out today and I notice that my timer somehow got set to come for about 1 hour 1 hour after the lights go off, its been like that for a while. It doesn't seem to have effected them much but I would never know what could have been. Whats every ones take on this?

latewood

10-31-2006, 04:30 AM

If the timer was set wrong for only one hour a night...then no problem, besides the problem would've already happened. I run mine 15 minutes every hour during the dark photoperiod. I'm always afraid of them getting dry...

HighSeekerz

10-31-2006, 06:15 AM

I think he is referring to the light timer...

Cyclonite

10-31-2006, 03:30 PM

Yes...im talking about the lights. It seems ok though...no damage noticed.

HighSeekerz

10-31-2006, 06:47 PM

My understanding through previous research, etc... is that by the light coming on at the additional time, it stresses the plant because it is not similar to its natural environment. This could cause a female to hermie due to stress.

I personally think it would just POSSIBLY slow flowering temporarily. And give you a little more Veg growth... Nutes, PH, and those other real stresses are what I would think would make a plant hermie.

Take my input as just someone looking over your shoulder. I am a novice at best! LOL!!!

Yo Yo! That is your first time!? That bud looks freaggin great! How many watts did you run? I am in the middle of my first grow right now, 2000 watts, boy is it alot of work. I have friends who lost their whole first harvest to mites, and other problems, I am PRAYING that doesnt happen to me...

great job

how many grams did you get and also how many watts did you use

I myself am venturing into the soil-less gardening world. But cant make up my mind regarding the system i want to use. After seeing your grow journal though, i am very interested in your hydro system.

Also, where did you get your genetics from?

Its really just a DWC system....I tried some aeroponics but it seemed more trouble than the gain I would get. Its just a rubbermaid container with slots for 6 plants....after seeing how the roots of just 2 plants went I think ill do 4 max in the 18 gal container.

Well I took my drug test and passed....I smoked some finally. Its pretty good, everyone gave it rave reviews. Its definitely better to harvest earlier than later. I dont like getting all tired. My soil is doing ok....not as good as my hydro went but my next hydro is around the corner.

Yo Cyclonite! I havent been posting due to camera software issues with my computer... I cant upload pics of my babies...

I have been wondering how it went with the WW. Looks great to me! Of course I am not smoking it with you so I cant say!

I vegged my seeds to 24 inches in GH 3 part and they are now in week 10 of flower. The buds are still showing a lot of white so I dont know... (Freakin Amateur! Me that is...) Anyways, I dont have any of that Final Flush or whatever, but I am rinsing the rocks well and and putting in only PHed water at next water change. I plan to flush for at least a week, but am watching the buds for maturity. (I may flush longer). I figure they have been juiced with nutes now for 14 weeks+. A week, or 2, or even more wont bother me, as long as the plant is still in "lifecycle". I definitely am looking for a strong couchlock with this harvest... I will grow them in water until I feel they are ready. Plus I am going to 10 hours light. (430w HPS and just 2 plants). I dont want to harvest early. Or late! And then the curing process!

I need to order seeds too...

Anyways, CONGRATS on making it from start to finish! Most dont make it past the window seal!

How importent is it for it to block ALL light...the green top I have lets some light through its pretty weak and green. Is this something I should worry about?

It should be no stronger than average moonlight on a average night. This seems to work in nature quite well.

I have a slight leakage and it seems okay (little less than moonlight).

PS: I'm so happy I could shit! I have now got 1oz of great non-gritty real phat bud and am happily smoking a fat spliff of it as I type. :jointsmile: It is the first joint I've had in over 1 & 1/2 months now and am so happy I could, ... well I said that already :D
