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

OMG! Those pics are HAWT!!
It's pretty disgusting that I can get turned on by a good pic of something other than a nude woman!
Oh welll... Haven't been by the thread in a while, razzapiggy and everything looks GREAT! I wish I were there.
Getting ready to go out on tour for 6 weeks so I will be lurking about sporadically. Just wanted to pop-in and say "hey!"

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your tour, kick some ass and when you come back I will be damn close to harvest! Hopefully I don't run out of head room, these bitches shot up like crazy when they went into flowering, they appear to be slowing down a tad with the vertical growth though. Later bro!

I have never used one, but you might want to consider investing in a couple of 5 gallon jugs and filling your water up at those machines in front of most supermarkets, all of those machines are r/o filtered as well as several different other types, at my market its like $2 for 10 gallons, not too bad at all, just a thought!

Yeah, I actually bought a few of those recently. They sell reverse osmosis water at the local grow store, I was considering grabbing 10 gallons of the filtered water and then putting 15 of the tap water type thing.

I am not against buying all reverse osmosis water, but it will definitely get expensive when these bitches are going to want a gallon of water per day - 'bout fiften bucks a day!!

I think buying the poor mans reverse osmosis is the better move money wise, because I can pay $150 for it, and take my PPM down by 30% and it will last me this next 7 weeks and then at least the next grow! Soo.....we shall see

Just went in the room and gave the babies a shower! 1050PPM and I also Hygrozime was in the water as well - which doesn't show up on the PPM meter.

Already kind of threw this out there, but I would like to again. I definitely am noticing that a few plants are a darker shade of green, a bit more droopy, and just appear weaker than the bunch. I tried to get a decent picture in my above post, don't think it came out great. The confusing thing about the situation (which I don't believe is a huge deal but I am curious) is that the bud developement ont he ones that appear weaker than the bunch have more bud developement than most of the others.

I can try to get a stand alone picture of one of the weaker ones up soon, but I would like to hear some opinions if possible.

Cheers!!!! :pimp:

PPM right around 1050. Plants seem to be handling it nicely, very happy about that. Going to push to 1200 next time, will this be okay with the Hygrozime as well? I vegged this for a bit too long (about 18 inches on average) before forcing them into flower. I have read most of the veritcal growth during flowering is during the first 1/3 of the total flower time. Given that my strain is supposed to flower for 10 weeks, I am approaching the time where they stop growing vertically (hopefully!) I will upload some pictures later, haven't really heard much from the peanut gallery on this thread for a bit, but I will continue to update for those still following! Enjoy!

::crickets:: Where is everyone at? I got so much help through this procces during the boring parts, and I appreciate that! I thought people would be more interested in the exciting time. For now though, everything is all good.. Hope everyone is doing well

Well, for one reason or another the greener ones may be holding more water than the others. Are they taller or shorter than the others?? Are you sure that they are all the same strain?? Did they all get flushed with the same amount of water?? Because they may be holding on to more N from the veg nutes as well.

Was told everything is the same strain so gotta believe that to be the case until proven otherwise. They were flushed with approximately the same amoutn of water though the way of my measuring that was my own count in my head.

The ones that are darker appear a bit smaller on average, but nothing considerable. I have started to bend the plants down to allow more light to penetrate the canopy and also prevent and problems with head space.

What I did to bend the plants without breaking them is start at the bottom of a node, move up a half inch, bend in the direction I want the main cola to go in. Move up a half inch, do the same. For any newbies reading this and planning to do the same, the trick is to use both hands, and move up a very small amount each time you bend as to prevent the plant from cracking too far

Two of them bent a bit too far, and I used some tie to get it together in hopes it will rejoin its main stem even stronger!

Just got my humidity therm. hooked up, it reads 66 but the problem is it's not right where the canopy of the plants are. I see no signs of fungus at all, but am considering buying a dehumidifer as a precautionary measure. Question is... if my humidity is at 66 a few hours into their "day" what does it get up to at night? Should I be concerned? I also only have one occilating fan going right now, perhaps I should buy another. Some people reccomend using a heater during the night cycle, others reccomend a dehumidifier to prevent molding... what do you guys think? Also wanted to add I did veg for a little longer than I should have the plants are crowding one another a bit more than I had anticipated....any advice is appreciated.
