In the flower room, things are really looking nice. I have the last of my smallish Humboldt Blue Dreams finishing out over the next three weeks. The larger Blue Dream is looking so awesome. Huge stems filled with very large puffballs of goodness :). I also placed the Humboldt Seeds Bubba Kush mother into flower. I love flowering out new plants that I have never seen finish before :bigjoint:

If you click on your name in top right of this page, then preferences, then take the tick out of 'Use the Flash-based uploader to upload attachments'. I think that is supposed to fix the problem? All plants looking good too!!
Yeah, I tried that one...turns out they and to change some settings on the servers for some users. It's all fixed now.

600w. I could lower it a tad. I have it where it is currently for the spread since I have more plants than usual under there - but it is only until Tuesday, so it will go back down to about 12" or so above the canopy.

I actually don't fully remember, but a long time :) She lived through my struggles with the winter temps down there so kind of stalled out. But if I had to guess I think it was around Decemberish that she went into the DWC after rooting as a clone. So, awhile LOL. She should be way bigger, but like I said, my environmental were a challenge this winter and pretty much all my ladies went dormant for a month or so.

I am really excited about her and what she will look like in full bloom!

Moved one of my Bubba Kush clones into a larger, 4gallon hemp bucket. I recently switched to Growstones from hydrton. I first used the large size which definitely works and creates a lot of oxygen space in the root zone. However, when I had to purchase another bag I gave their Super Soil Aerator version a try. It is a multi-sized, perlite type consistency. So far I like it. So if you are looking into switching soiless media, you might want to try it out. I do get algae growing on top of my water farm buckets, but whatever...not hurting anything.

She has giant leaves and is starting to really kick in now. She's beautiful.

Also...since it seems I am in a product plugging mood, I also recently started using Flying Skulls Z7 due to a free sample that came with a cloning bucket I recently picked up. I use tap water and don't have any plans to go RO. I know it is better so spare me the lectures, but I just am not going there. So far, in my search to make tap water work as best as possible, this stuff has proven itself in a very short amount of time. I already use enzymes and beneficial and rooting hormone products that have made for some really healthy roots, so not sure if I will see a huge increase in root growth or condition as they claim, but the pH issues you can sometimes experience with tap water seem to be nonexistent in the buckets I have run this in. And you use like 0.5ml per gallon so it lasts for not too much $. There is so much stuff out there that I am sure you can find other options - but if you are looking for something like this, I have found it to work pretty well over the last couple of weeks.

RO is like C02, not quite worth the money and effort. If you used the entire H&G line you wouldn't need to worry about PH ever! Just saying ;)

I am getting there, ha ha. It takes a while to amass all the stuff though :) I need to add the Algen Extract, Bud XL, Top Shooter and potentially the Amino Treatment.

I love the Magic Green foliar by the way. Everyone around here looks at me funny when I say I foliar feed as well, but I am telling you that it does work. Especially if you have a plant that is looking a little stressed or deficient. Hit them with a tiny amount of the Magic Green (like 0.125ml in 8oz). The only thing is, wash your bottle *immediatley* after using it. If you let it sit there for too long, it smells like the worst sewage ever. :shock:

Ladies are looking good. Hit them with some Magic Green today (I usually do twice per week).

Transplanted the Green Crack into a small hempy bucket to let her continue building a good strong root system:

The Sour Diesel mother is going to move into flower on Tuesday. She is magnificent and putting on some significant growth up top:

The babies are continuing to progress well:

Here is a Bubba Kush clone (L) and Sour Diesel clone (R) in hempy buckets. Doing beautifully :)

Pulled the Bubba Kush out of the flower tent to give her some Magic Green as well. Usually only do this once or twice after they hit flower. I wish you could see her in person. She is incredible.
