hey blue ,
thingz couldn't be better . well maybe a lil w/ some co2 lol .
3rd. week of flower now , p/h is stable n at 5.8-6.1 always . ppm. = 1100 now w/o any issues .

i started flowering them at a foot tall and topped them . they streched like hell after we cut their heads off , they're about 3ft tall now + the foot or so of waterfarm , but i still got about 1 1/2 foot of headroom , other 6in. ate up by cooltubes . our place was built in 1922 so our basement is bullshit n only 6ft 2" to bottom of the floor joists , it sux . i want a 8ft. ceiling damn it !!!! no more grow nutes now . might even try lucas form. all the way thru next time , see if theres less streching . start givin em some cool bloom next res. chg. too .

snow on the ground up here in the N now , had to put cells n res. up on 1in. thk. pink. foam siding insul. n get a good submersible aquaruim heater for the res. / amb. air temps are 78 deg on , 64 deg. off . 45-50 % humidity n port. dehumidifiers wrkn it's ass off = 45qts. every 2 days out of a 11 x 12 ft room. turned on the 2nd. 1000w. last week they got sooo bushy 1 wasn't covering em . need sunglasses now ya go blind w/ 2000w.

1 = cottoncandy/nycd x sage , n 3 = d/p blueberry . the mutt cross is much bushier n shorter , but the blueberry's smell is just intense . all are easy 8-10 headed monsters w/ thick ass stems , main girth coming outa the hydroton looks like the stem on a huge head of brocoli it's crazy . i'm praying we dont havta tie em to the ceiling again due to weight . most all flowers are the size of your thumb now n can see res glands w/ naked eye already .

first hydro grow i've ever had w/ very lil stress n things are moving fast . i'm geeked man . 8-10 headed plant takes a lil longer to finish , but it's cool , it'd take 50-60 girlz -easy to get this kinda yield w/sog n is too big a risk. plant count laws now instead of combined weight laws like back in the day , so law is kinda in my favor to grow just 4 super mutant monster bushes anyways .

i read a thread on here a while back about ppl. keeping their p/h dwn real low 5.'s during last cpl. weeks of flowering . to lok out certain nutes , or increase the uptake of others or something ? what's your take on this ?
i don't even remember who orig. posted it .

sorry man . lol . feel like i hi jacked your thread n shit . all high n ramblin , we need to talk bout thingz in a diff. forum man . i much respect your take on thingz , your not just one of the kidz on here . lol .

peace

xcrispi Reviewed by xcrispi on . Grows that break the rules?? OK, yesterday I went to a grow that defied almost everything that I believe about having a good grow and believe it or not the guy was still producing against the odds. Well first of all his veg and flower room are in his bedroom and the flower area consist of a box spring standing up against the end of his bed to act as a wall for the flower area but no other type of cover for the flowering area, and this is the kicker, even when the flowering lights are out he keeps the bedroom lights on and Rating: 5
