first aero setup

[k1ng87]

got a female!! I tried to attempt this one about a week ago and it looks like the roots are coming out of the stem...

[k1ng87]

okay...so i was wondering if anyone could help me find out what kind of yield that I may be able to achieve with my plant. its about 2sqft in "bushiness" and is 20" inches tall right now.....I've fimmed the hell out of it and it has alot of side colas...I'm also using one 100watt hps and 3 100watt equivalent cfls(putting out about 10,000+ lumens I believe)....you think I would be able to get atleast 2oz off of it??

anyone?

Day 58 from seed.

28th day of flowering.

heres another picture(taken on 3/8 four days after the previous ones).....its about 30" tall today and extremely wide. I'd say its foot print is close to 3 sqft. I fimmed the hell out of it when it was in veg so it would get extremely bushy. I would fim every node after the 4th one till about the 8th one.

okay....i really need to trim this....i know this sounds stupid but its getting way too big for my grow space....it has over 4sq ft footprint and its about 33" tall right now......can i trim it??

[k1ng87]

??????????????

[k1ng87]

So can I trim some of the fan leaves?? has anyone done this on their grow? I'm asking because they seem to be shading the light to the lower branches and I'm only using 1 100w HPS and 2 20w(100w equivalent) CFLs which are putting out about 10,000 lumens total.

how do you tell when your close to harvesting (< 2 weeks).....I want to change to the water in my system to plain water with sugardaddy nutes only for the last 10 days.

You have to check the trichomes with at least a 30x microscope for harvesting/flushing... Plenty of info around here about that. It's very much personal preference, but your harvest window starts when all the the trichs are all cloudy, and thc begins to degrade at about 80/20 cloudy/amber

Soil takes longer to flush than hydro does. I think for hydro you only need to flush with regular water for a couple days... not sure maybe some other hydro growers can chime in.

can you just tell by the colors of the hairs?? A small percentage of hairs (3%) are starting to turn orange on my buds....I'm guessing I have another 3 weeks of flowering before they are ready(hopefully).
