Hi all.
im into my 9th week of growing using nft, thought i would share with you my pictures, been using cannavega a+b, going to flush with normall water when i start to see bud growth, then i will be using cannaflower a+b plus canna boost and pk 12/13, they are now under 250w hps but veged using two 125w cfl's, got two big pc fans blowing air in and a large shower fan sucking heat and depleted air out. my digi cam went tits up so i have lost a few photo's the first one is about 6 weeks in, the next two are 8 week's in and the last one was took today at 9 weeks. what you think ??

Do you have enogh room to raise your light if they become taller, I can't tell from the pic. I'll keep an eye on this thread so please update. I plan on buying some fem seeds next month and Ice was on my short list, it would be great to see what they look like a couple more weeks into flower!

I got another 8-9" of space before i start taking the roof off. i have just moved my hps as the back plant was getting more light than the other two, think i done the right thing as the whole grow looks brighter, had a nightmare last night, my ph meter died, so had my fingers crossed that the ph was ok, got new batteries today raced home and guess what...:mad: ....... the ph was 5.7 THANK GOD:D . Im strarting to see alot of new growth at top of plants cant get a good photo of this but i think it a good sign. Got some ro water on order ready for the flush. Might introduce some pk13/14 next week. Dr hashman i was not really 100% on the plastic cover that i had with the kit, was told that a black one works better, thought of covering it with a bin bag, but fair pay the medium is still a good shade of white. Socialistpete are you in the uk? if so i still got 3 spare female ice seeds here, so if you fancy a trade with something that you got let me know, was looking at white widow, but hay i try anything me :jointsmile:
Peace out :joint1:

No unfortunately I live in the U.S. I wish I lived in the U.K. or somewhere in europe. My top 3 pics for seeds were Ice, Northen Lights, or White widow. Price played a big role in my choices. Thanks for the offer though

Hi all, thought i would just keep you updated, took a photo today (04/02/07). They still looking healthy and getting bushy as you can see. Got hold of some c02 last week (work fire extinguisher) DONT SPRAY DIRECTLY ONTO PLANTS, SPRAY LIGHTLY INTO FANS, it done no harm so must be ok to do, changed the water today still using full strength aqua floure. More new growth mid range and at top of plants. see for yourself.

Good to hear from you again, can't wait for more pics. I've read a lot about SCROG on here by using the search function. Totaly the way to go I think I'm going to try it on my up coming grow. I'll start a log once I get going so you can see how it works out for me.
