Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[LionsRoor]

The PH in my system runs a little higher, usually 6.5. Humidity levels are usually around 35 to 40, res temp is kept under 68 and temp in the flower room have been getting up to 81.

Add water and/or nute mix to your res to desired PPM, then PH daily to 5.8.

I also noticed my time switch had moved to around 30 secs on and 5 min off.

It moved? That is no good - tape it to 1 on / 5 off.

I have changed the res out and ran clearex for a few hours and now back onto regular nutes and have will leave the pump running continuously for the next few hours.

No need to run pump continuously with nutes... If you feel they need more water, decrease the off time. 4 on/ 1 off is a large increase in irrigation.[/quote]

Thanks for any further opinions and help regarding the pictures.

These are just my opinions... take them with a grain of salt!

Nice Dirt - those are your larfy nugs? Looks like A1 harvest for others! I will be in the same situation - with lower level buds maturing later than the tops (due to over veging and crowding - light can not penetrate). If you can give em any more time - do so! The exposure to extra light should help finish em up, no?

I'm interested to see how you proceed as I will certainly need to do the same!

Thanks Lion...i am still not sure if i should drain the sweet and use the flower mix for a few days...or just let the sweet go...i can leave them for another week.



I would just chop them down and get the next batch ready but there is probably 3-4 ounces of bud in there..

I really need to trim better,, but one thing is for sure, up to this point im gonna have some quality trimmings!

Just the top portion i cut is going to be my biggest harvest yet..

thanks a bunch man ... Let the clone wars begin... I hear mazzar is a beast couch lock reaper... we shall see. I wish all skills where collaborated like this forum is. the world today is full of people that wont take the time to teach and i am glad that you guys have found the time... Thanks Stink, gvega and dirth

I have 4 veg units on one timer
2 cloners and 2 veg units one timer
6 pumps with 6 flowering units running 2200 hps flowering 600 t5 watts for veg and clone
Tons of money invested and work building units

Hell ya, Stink is the ultimate masta. I will swear by him.

everyone needs to remember that stink is a master grower with tons of experience with both overall growing and aero growing....hell he has created quite a few systems
i bet he has made tons of mistakes before dialing in his grow.........
there is no substitute for experience

well said, i'm still working out hydro but i've had more then a few great harvest in my years, but I still consider my-self as an apprentice grower in general.

Wow - great job! Way to keep perfecting it... with you (and Stink) setting the bar, it is comforting to know that it is not a pipe dream (or is it?) - high yields are possible!

ok i tried searching the thread because i know it was mentioned before, ive heard that you can have green lights on in your flower room during the dark hours. anyone know exactly what lights to use? i saw a load of them in menards, even green cfl's. is any green light good to use, and how do you know?

Word! Stink could grow the dank out of a shoebox.

...and since we're stoners, we're allowed to make the same mistake more than once, right?

Dude I been looking too. I think that the glass is supose to be green. So if you can scrape it off with you finger nail or key then I dont think its all good. but hey it would have to be better than nothin, Im about to do it since I cant seem to find ones with the glass actualy green.

on a second note man if you miss like 5 days on this thread you gotta catch up like 20 pages. Many new faces too.

 

[dagobaker]

im finishing up the grow setups and then ill be taking some pics
the flowering room in done minus co2 and the veg rooms need some cleaning up then ill pic them

 

[MyPC8MyBrain]

These ought to do the trick...3 x 1000w

They will be running on 4 stinkbud max units... soon, very soon.
Got the yield master II mongo sized reflectors too, but im too lazy to take one out of the box

I think my power meter just got a chubby.

green led's?

Light mover is up and running! I am expecting big things with this addition.

Also, check out what I cloned! These cloner's are the shit! Thought I lost this strain, but it's on it's way back

Here are present pictures from my first grow. The plants have been in flower mode for 4 weeks now and I'm noticing leaves starting to curl - some curling up whilst others are curling downwards. The pictures below show what I mean.

Is something wrong here? I have read things like mag deficiencies, low humidity lack or too much water. Am I paranoid?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Leaves curling up on the edges mean that the plant is trying to dissipate too much water. This is usually caused by high heat or low humidity.

Maximum recommended temps:
78 without CO2
85 with CO2

Leaves curling down (like a claw) means that your nutrient PPM level is high.

Do a clean flush with water and 250ml of Clearex. Let the pump run constantly for about 3-4 hours. Then refill and try lowering your PPM at least 500 PPM.

Watch the new growth. The old growth will not change in this situation.

It takes a while to dial in each strain. It's taken me 8 months to dial in my existing strains!

ok so I finally have taken some action.... stinkbud is a saint dirthawker you have been a great help as well.

her is the scenario I am going to do stinks total setup except way scaled back for personal. I have two strains one is mazar the other topp 44 both I have germinated from seed and are now in veg about 5-6 weeks. the mazar was feminized now worries there but wanted to see if you guys had an opninion of sex of topp 44. I know everyone likes to play wheres waldo so see the pictures the first 3 are the best shots i could get of the 44. the other is overall grow picsand last two are pics of some burn i got when i pulled some noobish nute abuse. this is my first grow so all help will be much appreciated.

Do they look health enough to take clones now?

sexing ?


thanks again for everything

Yes go ahead and take some clones. Be sure and label both the parent and the clones. You may find one phenotype that is better than all the rest.

I grew some Skunk #11 a while ago. Out of 10 seeds I only kept 1 phenotype because all the others took too long to finish. I labeled them Skunk 1, Skunk 2, etc... That way I knew which clones to ditch.
