D rock your looking good. I posted a few more today but I am making a shopping list as I need to go into Los Angeles for some things. If I want to follow in step with you I best get these girls transplanted quickly. I am with you on the Ph thing.

I will probably update with some more photos tommorrow.
Hey D Rock. Wife and I are looking at your grow bags again and sold on it. How many total do you have under your lights? Thanks.
there are 9 total. I could probably fit 12 under there if I wanted.

Ok guys here are some pics I snapped today. Foilage is growing at a pretty rapid rate now. Sometimes the leafs are droopy but I have figured when they do this they are thirsty. I just got done watering my babies about 3 cups of water each. So I should be good for another 3-4 days then they get nutes with their water.
Anyway on to the pics.

Anyone know if these are a sativa or indica strain? Im pretty sure they are Indica, but Im no expert. The reason I ask is because they are bagseed so I dont know if they are any particular strain.
Wow. Too cool. They have really taken off. I am no expert believe me but I have had similar plants that have been indica dominant. One of the veterans here will probably post the strain before I finish typing.
I will update my log. You are doing great!
Thanks man. Im getting to the point where I think I might want to top the plants and see if it does any good. Or mabey LST them any thoughts people?
Looking good! I'd like to get T5's for vegging too, but right now I'm doing a SIHLA grow (stuff I have laying around).
I'm using the ProMix high porosity, watering with filtered tap water, and I haven't had any ph issues. Water is around 7, and runoff is around 6/6.5 or so. Plants seem happy. They didn't need nutes for the first 5 or 6 weeks.
As for lst, I'd say it depends on your plans for them. Potential mothers, bud quickly, veg for a while then bud...
What kind of bud lights you got?
Hey droc... Im not exactly an expert and i didnt read much of the last of the forum but i thought maybe a little bit of my input wouldnt hurt... From what i know the ph is ideal at 6.5 and should only go up a .1 or .2 because 6.4 is pretty acidic... another thing i have learned is that cfl are about the best thing you can have but even though you would buy a cool floro bulb air circulation is a must... and you should keep them about a couple of inches from them... cfl are the bomb for root development (blue spectrum) i dont consider long floros because they dont give you much room to flex with... hanging your lights and watching your plants to see where they need that light is very convenient.... i have never messed with fox dirt but i do know that in the vegetative stage your babies are gonna want a high N and the p and k shouldnt be higher. but it seems you been feeding her im sure you might have your own solution chart i would personaly make my own buffers and solutions but thas me... and oh yeah i seen your temp read and it should be about 72 degrees F and humudity just a lil under 60% or it might be 5% higher dont take my word on it all plants are different and dialing yours in is gonna take practice.... well hope i didnt bore you and this was some help take care....:D

Awesome grow so far, D Rock, I have been watching it closely and have taken several of your practices to improve my own grow, I especially liked adding the water cups to the room to increase the realitive humidity. I have a really dry room and the cups helped. I also switch to 18/6 from my 24/0 schedule. Both changes have been to positive results. When are you planning to switch to flowering? I going to start at 6 weeks.
Well I was going to wait till I Saw preflowers on the the plants before I put the red spectrum bulbs in and started flowering. I read in my grow bible by Jorge Cervantes that switching your plants to 12/12 before preflowers have been spotted greatly increases your chance of the plant being male or hermaphodite, So Im going to make sure they keep growing good and take car of them that way I will have more females than males or so Im hoping. Thanks for stopping in, Make sure to hang around and follow the grow Pics will be added frequently. As for the red cups they are gone and I have put two big bowls with about 1 1/2 gallons of water in them each they are behind the plants this time. See ya round the boards.
Just a quick note. I lowered my lights back down closer to the tops of the plants. It is now at about 5-6 inches from the tops of the plants, reason being is that the lumens are greatly decreased the further your light is from the tops of your plants. Ecspecially with these Fluro's they just dont have the penatrating light that a HID does. Anyway We will see if they just start getting fat again. If so then thats just the way my plants are going to have to be. I have gotten my humidity up to 58% Relative Humidity from about 40-45% by putting the two big bowls of water instaed of those red cups with only a small amount of water in them.
unlike another grower, I put the t-5 54W inches from the tops of the plants right from the get go. Maybe that I have a four lamp fixture and his was an eight lamper may be all teh difference. dunno. But, the T-5 54W really can grow pot and produce decent bud. Not as good as HPS, but you don't have4 to fuss with ventilation and temerature nearly as much.

Ok guys Im looking for some guidance here. I have been thinking about how to train my plants and popular methods like SOG, SCROG, and LST have come to mind. Out of these three Im thinking of doing a SCROG. Im thinking this will be the best for my conditions, Poor light penatration with the T5 lights. I guess what Im asking is exactly how do you scrog?
When do you put the screen or netting over the tops of your plants? DO I wait till they show sex first? I would imagine so, it would probably be a pain in the ass if they grew through the netting and I had to remove a couple due to them being males. Any guidance on this is greatly appreciated. I was contemplating Topping or FIM but I dont want to cut my plants just yet.
Thanks for any advice given.
Hi D Rock. My grow log dissappeared and all my posts. I guess I ticked someone off. They left my photo gallery which is odd. Anyway I guess that means get lost so I will wish you luck. My transplant went well, I love the soil, I appreciate all your advice. Penn... Here is my transplant. Had to add a little CoCo to top off a couple after settling.

Are those the 3 gallon grow bags?
Check out icmag.com I have a grow log over there too.
Ok thanks. I was pretty stoked about this board. No warning no nothing. I will check out your othersite. Here is one more of the transplant.
http://gallery.cannabis.com/data/500.../Day17_003.jpg
looks good. I go by the same name on that website so look me up. We T5 users need to help each other out, ok that sounds korny but Im screwed up right now on percocets. Had some left over from when I broke my hand a few months ago.
Yes I really need to solve the humidity issue next and compare notes on watering and feeding. That pH meter says my well water is 6.9 Hard to believe but the guy calibrated it to 4 and to 7. Hmmm. See you over there. Good luck with the Perocets ( I hate the stuff myself so I use cannabis instead, that is how I got legal, but I understand it does the job ).
Still blown away. Some of my posts in other forums are fine. The ones in indoor gardening seem to have been deleted. Time for a "trainwreck".
wtf, Penngrove. I was looking forward to your grow log too. Maybe a mistake? I tried to delete my first post on this recent grow log but found that I can't do that so I edited it to say "please delete" maybe some confusion there by a monitor?

Sorry for hijacking the thread. I registered with the other board and I am waiting moderator approval. I will redo my log there. I write this bulletin board software for a living so I am pretty familiar with it and can assure you that it was nothing I did. I would have to guess a moderator or admin blow the stuff off but the baffle is no warning. They should send you a private message or something. I own several computer severs in Scottsdale so maybe I will toss up a new domain on that. Or I will backdoor into an exisiting domain. Anyway look for me on the other site and I will carry on. Thanks D Rock for letting me borrow your thread. Now post some new pictures!
Here are a couple new pics taken today. Hope you enjoy.

some of your leaves look a tad dry, though
and i dont know what to tell you about SOG SCROG or any of that.
i seen one guys log and topped his plants and they came out real nice

I'm going to get the homebox hopefully next weekend and I saw that the XS one that I want has two holes on the top for air intake and outtake. Does yours have that and if so what do you have going through there?
Your grow looks amazing btw and those bags are such a great idea!!!
plants look damn gorgeous man....excellent work, and really clean set up! i love what you have going there, and man it is fucking working! enjoy those buds!
damn i luv ur t5 iusta have an 8 tuber in a 2by4 fixture i thoght in close confines the intensity of the t5 was comparable to hps keep growin damn or states touch:stoned:
did this thread move?? would love to see the end result
bump
?????
What the hell is with all the 2007 threads? Let dead threads rest!
it might help also to move the light closer i have the same thing and u can have it within inches and be good and very nice set up i have a 4 ft 4 bulb t5 and 2 400 watt hps for budding but am gonna try the t5 for buds this time
I want to try and get a set up like this going for seedlings get the ladies ready for thier outdoor life. Im impressed with the veg results, and this too will be my 3rd grow. I have some nice organic fertz available ( pigeon, rabit manure) wondering if anyone has had experience with them. Any tips on getting my plants outside in the spring with as little stress as possible as i plan on putting some money into genetics.
hey bro.. i just set up my first grow room..ill post pictures.. but it looks like your plants are wilting because the temp is over 80 degrees!! and the humidity is way up there! humidity anywhere between 40 - 60 % is perfect.... LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES!Quote:
