A Gatekeeper Grow

[Gatekeeper777]

Hi Guys I thought I would document yet another grow. This should give results at around about THANKSGIVING. How ironic. The other was from some decent bag seed That I sexed for 2 weeks then reveged her . I took clones and this one was the healthiest. The mother was evicted and is living in the great wilderness. What you are seeing is her clone. I Dub her the Little princess. As Most growers know each strain has it's own personality. Since I do not know this strain I will give her a name and get to know my new mom. She is Hydroponic almost and 3 weeks off the mother. She was rooted under the bio-dome for 11 days in a soil puck then moved to a hydroponics set up when she showed roots. She has been in the hydroponics set up now or 7 days I am using General Hydroponics and I am following their recommendations for the mix. I have her in a 5 gallon bucket with a self made water pot in washed lava rock. This is a Picture of her 7 days ago.Attachment 285020

Today Is 6-11-12
One week in her new hydroponic setup.

She is very compact and bushy I will keep her this way for another 2 weeks then stretch her for clones. The CFL Light bank is about 4 inches off her top Attachment 285021

Now here she is Attachment 285022 and Attachment 285023

She seems to be using about 97 PPM in a 24 hour period.

PPM ...AM 995
PPM ... PM 983
Using slightly more Nutes. 110 PPM in today's 24 hour block.
Air temp 84
Ph 7.5
PH'd down to 6.5 Having trouble holding PH. Probably Algae
I will cover areas where water is exposed to light. Leaves folding in on themselves as if praying, Turned on room fan.
Looking very bushy. Clipped 3 branches to give me new nodes and topped her.
There is a noticeable growth in 12 hours.
I will likely clip her again before I send her in to fill her purpose in life.I will keep her short and bushy as long as I can.
Trying for as many nodes as possible. as close together as possible.

6-13-12.

PPM ...AM-931
PPM...PM 1036
Room Temp 84F
PH 7.5
Gave 2 TSP PH Down
PH now 6.0
Covered parts that exposed water to light in attempt to kill algae last night .
PPM rise could be the result of adding more PH DOWN or dead algae.
A few fan leaves are showing a bit of yellowing. Second 5 Gallon bucket started
With 5 gallons of very hot water and and a running air hose . Hot Water holds less Oxygen then cold water so as the water cools it pulls the Oxygen from the pump into it making it super enriched.
I will add nutes in 24 hours then transfer the basket into the new bucket.
leaves no longer folded in and lay flat to the light above.
New growth noticed under the fan leaves. Three fan leaves cut to allow light to new growth.
CFL still about 5 inches from her top.

Lots of new growth. However new growth is stunted and leaves are curling under.

thats a nice plant u have growing! its a clone right? and is there something u did to make it short and bushy, or did it just naturally grow that way?

She is a clone. The light is a 23 Watt CFL that is kept about 5 inches off the top.
