My Radiator
I guess this thread sort of became my grow log. It's been about 20 days since I last posted pictures and what troubles I have had. I'll include some of of my "troubles."
Apparently I'm not much of a gardener. It took some time for my to realize that much of my behavior was harmful on the plants. I had to learn some lessons on humidity, mold and cold all in the past 2 weeks. I imagine that come summer I will have to learn some further painful lessons on temperature control. At any rate, as the plants sit today, they look awesome. Just the past two days alone has shown more growth then all of last week. Once you get things dialed in right, they really take off don't they? My ppm's are much higher then I am used too, primarily because I cut my fog out entirely. ppm's are at about 700 and ph at 5.8. Now I just use low pressure misters at 15m on and 15m off. My water level is about half way up my tub which is allowing my roots more contact with water. I have two large bubblers in the bottom as well as a homemade radiator all helping to keep the water oxygenated and fresh. Assuming I have no further issues this coming week, I hope to begin flowering next week and certainly no later then Jan 1.
I ordered some new stock today. I hear it can take a month to get your seeds if things go wrong. So I figured why not order them now, hopefully I get them on time but if I dont, then it wont hurt as much. I got a jump pack of 30 seeds (ICE, White Widow and Crystal). I was really after the White Widow as I have tried that once before and loved it. The other two are simply along for the ride. I figure any one of these strains has got to be 10x better then the bag seed I am using now..lol. At any rate I intend to reconnect the fogger into a new system that I will be designing for this next batch. I have some killer ideas that I want to try, now that I know a little bit more.
Top Row 1 and 2 were taken Dec 9 while the rest have been over the last day or two (Dec 22). They look really really nice today. I think heat has been the overwhelming issue that has set me back a week or more. These plants can not tolerate anything below 65 in my opinion. Once I figured out how to keep the temps higher then 65 they picked right up.
More to follow in a week or so.
