good call on the drip system...but in tray #1 I am ebb and flow (starting week 6 of flower)...Tray #2 & #3 are drip. I am noticing more consistency with my drip systems...allthough, ebb and flow has much bigger growth overall. Just an observation.

Any thought on my first post? I will re-post it now....and here we go.




Status: Day 85, Tray#1 @ Day 42 in flower
---------------------------------
This is the beginning of week #6...Some of the leaves are starting to yellow already on Tray #1. This is happening on the big colas. Not surprised at all. They are monsters. 2 liter coke bottle sized. I will post some pictures later.


Flushing:
---------------------------------
I have a couple questions since I am coming upon it...I purchased florakleen from GH at the beginning of my grow. Since, this is still my first hydro grow...When is it a good time to start flushing tray #1? How much of this crap should I use...and when flushing should I continue using cal mag? Honestly, I get no really great answers on this when I ask...I guess it is a subjective question (depends on the grower). But, hey any ideas would be awesome.

One Major wrench to throw in:
-------------------------------------------
Also, There is an issue that I have neglected to speak about this entire time. One of the plants in Tray #1 is just now starting to bud...its gotten its crazy veg going on where the massive colas would form...and there are flowers forming all over the plant. Not a hermie...I swear.

Why the hell would this plant take so long to develop...and since this is in the same ebb and flow tray, how the fuck am I going to flush? Should I just clone the shit out of this plant? I dunno what to do with it...it is big bushy and beefy...it would be a shame to kill her for the sake of the other buds....

I have also been contemplating harvesting the tops and letting the bottoms continue to get more growth out of them...thus, letting this one plant play catch up. (perhaps I need to let this whole thing go to 10 weeks?) Suggestions would be great!

one more update:
-------------------------------------
I have had to tie some of my plants to keep them upright (heavy colas equal bending as they get bigger. I am assuming I should be expecting more during the 6 week explosion...but, am not sure with these strains, as they are new to me!
