flowering clones might make better use of 6500k light for the first few days, until they change back to vegetative stage growth.. not sure though just a thought!Quote:

not a whole lot has been going on. last night i watered and fed the ladies. it was the first time they have been graced with real nutes. i used the big bloom, tiger bloom, and cha-ching. they seemed to like them. they looked real nice this morning.
i also watered the next batch of up-and-comers. they don't look like much yet, but they will!

pic 1- all of the ladies.
pic 2- miss gnarly again.
pic 3- the new batch.
pic 4- inside the cab currently.
pic 5- some bluebonnets (the small ones that look like venus fly traps). the other two are asiatic lilies that i pulled off of one that i got from home depot. new shoots come up and you can follow them back to the root ball and they pop off and look like little onions.
They are coming along great headshake. I will be peeking in from time to time.:hippy:
thanks 420! i appreciate it.
i'm following your log as well.

what's good everybody? a little update on the log here.
last night i watered the ladies and fed them with big bloom, tiger bloom and cha-ching. (1/2 strength on the liquids and 1/4 teaspoon of the powder.)
i did get a new pH test kit and some pH down. the original test indicated over the 7.6 that the test went up to. i brought it down (with newly aquired pH down). i don't think it was as low as i wanted to go, but it was better for sure.
i am gonna transplant the ladies. i've got to get the new clone/mom cab done first though. i'll just "borrow" it to finish flowering the ladies. i'll keep four in each probably. i need to go pick up a few more things.
i think after i chop miss gnarly i'm gonna re-veg her and get clones. she is head and shoulders above the bunch!
i'm also gonna start acquiring the parts for my either ebb & flow or DWC setup. i still can't decide which way to go.
i'll keep everyone posted.
here's a few pics for ya'll.

pic 1- original pH. not sure of the exact number, but extremely too high!
pic 2- adjusted down some. still not positive, but it's better. still trying to get a feel for the new pH test kit.
pic 3- test after the nutes were added to the 2nd test. not sure how accurate it can be as it was tinted.
pic 4- all of the ladies. one is definitely a sativa or sativa dominant. it's lagging behind the rest of the bunch. bottom right.
pic 5- the new batch of up-and-comers.
also i used about 1/6 of a gallon of food i had left on the new plants. i filled up the gallon with pH adjusted water. i did this after transplanting them into, bigger, non-see thru cups.

Looking fine, Bub! Good luck on the reveg too.
shake, i've been tossing a few ideas around in my head for a ebb and flow table in a rubbermaid tote. i'll draw up a diagram if you don't follow.
so here's what i'm thinking (i'll put material list 1st):
-one 18 gallon rubbermaid tote with lid, lightproofed
-two five gallon buckets, lightproofed
-~2' of 1/2" tubing
-drill with 1/2" bit
-~2' of 1/2" pvc pipe
-2 small water pumps (75 gph should do it)
-6-10 used 2 liter bottles, with bottom cut off and lightproofed
-a timer
so my idea is to have the lid of the rubbermaid tote drilled into for 6-10 pieces of pvc pipe. a 2 litre bottle fits perfectly into this dimenision of pvc. with 2 five gallon buckets on either side of the tote, you have your reservoirs. a pump in each with the tubing running into holes on each side of the tote floods the tote. and if you need some hydroton to fill your inverted 2 liters (or some light-blocking covers), seriously, we'll get in touch.
otherwise, the DWC method i'm using (i ditched the litter containers, but my friend is still going strong in one) is working out well. i've now opted for the 4 pack of office trash cans found at sams club. one $15-$20 air pump per each and a $2 airstone per each is working well, so please, let me bring you to the darkside...
peace and love,

looking good man:thumbsup:
