yea man deff lovin the 500 ppm. and yea i was thinking the same thing, i was surprised at how much side branching has already happened. no need for lst this round im guessing. ive already switched to flower and i think the daylight well help to keep her shorter than with the stretch of a soft white bulb. or at least thats what the guy at the local grow shop told me lol. have you ever used stuff called bushmaster? supposed to stop vertical growth and make it bush out. ive thought bout it like if i was to grow some non autos in there. just a thought though.She is looking good now ct, lots of sidebranch growth already. She seems to like 500ppm

hey everyone,
lil update its day 18. i just checked the ph and res levels. i will be out of town until monday evening. plants looking super healthy. i moved it down a tad, actually just took out a cd fromt he stack. Is there anything else i should do before i leave town? i have placed the heat shield in and a large book on top to block the light exiting. i was thinking of making a diy filter from pvc. just make a short tube with a fater area that will hold carbon and drill holes and line with panty hose to keep the carbon in. thoughts on that? anyways i attached a couple pics of some buds i got yesterday. left to right unknown organic, shoreline, and 2 pics of durban poison.
peace guys have a great memorial day weekend and thanks to all the american veterans that fought for our great county.

I've read about bushmaster but never seen any grows. I assume it interferes with auxin production so presumably it halts sidebranch growth as well. Personally I would consider Uncle Ben's topping technique in your grow. A single cola will grow 4x faster than 4 level colas. It worked a treat when I tried it and is a cool way of controlling growth.
You should be ok for a few days, just make sure nothing can hit the light.
EDITT: Nice buds

DAY 22
Plant Stage: flower day 8
Light Cycle: 12/12
Lights: 1 125w cfl
Medium: Rockwool & hydroton
Ferts: Flora Nova grow, 500ppm.
Strain: Bagseed and tarragon, type of seasoning.
What up everyone,
Alright so today is day 22 of her life and day 8 of flowering. Tons of growth over the weekend. Still no signs of sex. I did trim 2 large fan leaves though. She(hopeful) has put on 3 new sets of nodes and tons of sidebranch growth. I am starting to hint a smell of fresh pot plant growing but just the plant smell, not the bud smell. So here are some pics. Let me know what yall think.
QUESTION: ARE THE ROOTS TO DARK BROWN? SHOULD THEY BE WHITER?
comments/suggestions feel free, i hope to learn as much this grow as i did last time. and can you believe they now make diapers that are blue jean design? hahaha laughed so hard at this, sure the pot had alot to do with it. ha
Peace

It always amazes me how fast they grow in hydro. The same size plant in soil would be 5-6 weeks old.
Looks like you've got some algae/bad shit going on in the res. What are the water temps? I'd get some 35% h202 in there right away. Any sort of crap growing on the roots is going to hold the plant back.

one more question
when i change the res out, i know i will ph the water but should i add nutes to lets say like 500ppm or leave it with more water than nutes?

Hydrogen peroxide at 2-3ml per gal. It sterilizes the water and kills all the nasty shit. You can also use plain bleach but I'm not sure how much.
For my tote res, I stick the lid over the top of a 5 gal bucket and let the roots dangle. Not sure what you're asking with your last question...

Looks good so far!
Roots can be a little brown...we use Foxfarm and find that the bat guanno really stains the roots. As far as ppm goes... rule of thumb is less is better. We usually ph our water to like 4 or 4.5 then add all our goodies to the mix then retest for PH. Usually we are 5.5 to 5.8 by the time we put em back in and we run a ppm around 600 but our water is almost 300 by itself!! during Veg though we ran a ppm of around 1500.
If you can keep the res temp around 19 degrees C you will keep the plants happy and the water will be more difficult to get root rot.
Keep up the good work
