Comes a Time, First Grow, Please Step Inside -- 2000 watt Sour Diesel

Just set up the carbon filter in the attic - it's nice to not have it take up space in the room. I haven't rotated the plants yet, but I think I will soon, only thing is the ones on the outside are just as big as the ones on the inside, so are they really growing unevenly at all? Anyhow, I will get some pictures up tomorrow. Happy New Year to all!

P.S Everyone who told me that Sour Diesel is one of the smelliest strains was absolutely right. I came home from vacation to find the house reeking of weed, was only 7 days into 12.12 at that point too. And it wasn't that plant type smell, it smelled like bud! Now the problem is fixed! I am considering buying a co2 system, have some extra money. This is a worth while investment even for round one right?

i didnt get a system i just got a tank and a meter ,and some plastic tube.but yes it will increase yield . they say to match ppm of nutrient with ppm of o2

Sorry it's been so long gang, I have been keeping up with other people's threads and been busy with work, didn't even realize I had left my thread unnoticed for a bit! Here are some pictures.

#! Here is a stand alone shot of one of the girls, most of them were right around 18 inches tall when I started flowering, and I left town for 9 days, well, they shot up about a foot!! Tall bitches!

#2 Shot of the canopy. Looking pretty nice I think.

#3 Tiny little buds starting to form. Finally!! It's day 14 today, I am impatient! :D

#4 Another close up of a girl. It's hard to tell from the picture but this plant is a darker green, and it's a bit droopy. Two of the others look pretty similar. Bud developement is ahead of alot of the girls though, so I guess she's okay?

Excited things have started to pick up a bit!!

On a sour note, today the lights went on around 6:00. At around 6:30 my room mate blew a fuse that turned one of the 1000 watt lamps off, and I didn't realize it for about an hour. So, half of the room was without light, still receiving some from the other lamp... but isn't this bad because it encourages hermies? Won't have the problem again that's for sure, just curious if this is something I should worry about.

On a final note, I am considering buying one of the "poor mans reverse osmosis" filters. No waste water which is nice, and I was told it should cut the PPM down 30% from the tap. Anyone used em?

Cheers!

i wouldn't worry about it due to the fact that one 1000w light can grow your plants by its self. maybe if it hapened like every hour but for only one hour i wouldnt worry.

For sure SantaCruz, not going to stress myself out about things that are already done anyhow!

Got some Hygrozyme today... filled up the resivoir with tap water (268ppm) and then added my blooming nutrient which brought my ppm to 630. Is this too low?

Hygrozyme says 8-10 mL per gallon, I am going to go on around eight.

Question, I know Hygrozyme doesn't show up on PPM meters, and as I get later in flowering I am going to try to push the ladies a bit with the PPM and see how they handle it. I am guessing a way to do that would be push the ppm prior to Hygrozyme being added to around 1000 and then add Hygrozyme with 8mL per gallon... you guys think that's a good idea?

One last question, I have the ladies in three gallon pots, and then are kind of right on top of each other, want to be cautious about mold. If any of you can share your experiences with that (and preventing it) please let me know.

Cheers! :rastasmoke:

Hey just wanted to stop in and say hi... plants look great!
If you want to avoid mold keep your humididty around 40% and make sure you have a little breeze.
I'm kind of confused-reservoir? It looks like soil to me... I haven't used hygrozyme, but I use Cannazyme and that product anyway you can actually double the conc the first time... dunno about hygrozyme... just watch though that as the dead root matter breaks down, some N is going to be released. But also C is going to be released and you might try hitting your plants with some Sweet to take advantage of that... just a thought!:D

It's actually Sunshine #4 which is a soil-less mix but looks a ton like soil. I actually don't have a drip system or anything set up just yet, when I said resivoir I just meant where I put the water, and mix up the solution etc.

Hygrozyme makes the blooming nutrients more readily available to the plants I am told. I jacked up the PPM to around 700, hopefully it will be just fine. Then next time I mix solution I will try to push it a little closer to 1000.

Don't have a dehumidifier in there just yet, probably should look into it. Hooking up a humidity therm later on today, will post and let you know where my levels are.

A dehumidifier is a great asset.
You know, another product that is great is that TopMax stuff... making nutes more available... part of that is a chemical process called chelation where a chelating agent, for example, EDTA, EGTA, humic acid, oxalic acid, etc, basically forms a complex with the ferts and prevents them from interacting and combining into unusable/unavailable forms... topmax has humates PLUS all sorts of other yummy goodies that will sweeten up your girls a bit!

Cool, thanks for the tip! Will ask about TopMax next time I am at the store. It seems Hygrozyme does some of the same stuff you described but I will look into it. Thanks Stinky! Will be posting pictures every week from here on out. Sour Diesel is a ten week flowering stain, so I am going to have to be patient here - which will only grow harder as the buds develope. Great things come to those who wait though
