Welcome back Weez!

It seems that the log ends after the 18th of December now, so I guess everything after that disappeared?

Right after the forums became unavailable, I switched my lighting to:
6 hours everything on
7 hours Red LED and Red Incandescent
10 hours darkness
1 hour Red LED and Red Incandescent

That seemed to sit the plants right down so they didn't grow any taller, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't allow for much new root growth, and since roots decay over time, the plants don't have much chance of reaching their potential.

Here are current pictures. The first is HDF, the second is cheese, the third is vanilla moon and the last is bubba kush. They're all abused looking because they've all been abused but they're also coming along ok, considering their treatment.

The HDF should be ready in a week or so, judging by the trichomes.

After these plants are done, I'm switching to hydro and starting with a new batch. :thumbsup:

Weez: I have no previous experience with hydro, so I will be in need of your assistance as my first hydro experiment is a four-plant DWC bucket that's going in this spot. It's up and running but my pH keeps rising fast, like .7 points overnight (meaning going from 5.5 to 6.2), every night, and I'm trying to figure out why or if that's normal... ?
