Looking good Js. Very clean setup. How often do you water them with the 1.5 size airpots?

-48
Right now they are drinking between a half gallon and a gallon of constant feed nute water a day. How much of that evaporates out of the airpots I am not sure, but they seem to be loving what I am giving them at the moment.

Lookin good dude.

When are you planning in flipping. I'd say you are close

Day nine of veg? Or flower?
This was day 9 after the flip to 12/12. right now they are about 2 feet tall, and spread all the way across the scrog completly filling it.

Just a quick verbal update. Day 11 of flowering and my cannopy is just looking like a jungle under that scrog. Its looking like the stretch is comming to an end, and I think the tuck under I did will be the last one. Was having so much trouble trying to find room where the branches are going. Kind of funny the way the branches came up, right over the top of one of my girls I havent been able to get many stems to come over that way, but it is nice in a way, the few branches that I left under that plants main cannopy are starting to hit that spot and looking pretty healthy. Think I learned something about organic soil nutes. I knew from soil tests that the P was getting low in late veg, so I had started adding it in the transition. Been on a constant feed, and soil tests high P but the deficiency is just starting so show from 11 days ago when it was low and before I added. Anyone else ever seen this in soil? More I do this gro the more I think I am going to build myself a Hydro system when my blue cheese are ready to sex.

Cheers and will do pics either tomarrow or saturday. May even wait till day 14 of flower unless someone wants to see progress now.

Stay soil... Dont do it... LOL.. Not sure why the soil tests high but yet it shows the deff.? I'm not a big fan of the soil test kits because you can only get the topsoil tested, where the soil may have a different reading below.
Vermisoil from what I understand, is a very light nutrient mixture that is designed for aggressive feeding.
Have you tested your run off water PH? I got in the habit of testing my PH and TDS run off water and if the numbers were off, I would flush and feed.
Stay in soil JS :weed:

PH on the runoff is good. I almost think they are just using every bit of nutes I give them and maybe i just need to up doses a bit more. Still want to go hydro though, but I will be keeping my mothers in soil since maintnance is easier in soil. More for the experiance of hydro then anything so I can honestly say which I prefer. Still dont know if I am going to do an Under current DWC or a Aeroponic/NFT cross though. I could build eaiter very eaaily in my grow space. What do you guys think?

Flowering Day 13 Update

Hows it going folks,

So I have learned a lesson about vigellance today. I had company in town all this week so I wasnt paying as close of attention to my girls as I should have. Running around so much and not being home made me forget to keep up with my Damned spider mite spraying, and I just started seeing signs of them back again god fucking damn it. Just hit my girls with a combination of pepermint oil and Rosemary oil since I am all out of mighty wash. Prolly wont have any more of that till Monday, but that will work out gives me the few days between sprays. Other then that I think the girls are looking pretty good. They are growing well and have great color except for the little bit of mite damage I found today.

That might be a slight Cayenne deficiency flaring up. Looks good otherwise. :p

I am optimistic, just pissed off at myself for lack of vigilence. Going to try to get to the Hydro store today for some Mighty Wash and hit it with it instead of my foliar spray today. That should at least stop em from eating for a day or two so i can get back on track.

Plus that bird has a nice Amber glow to it.

Picked up some mighty wash today and hit the girls with a nice misting of that as well today. I know I prolly should have waited before spraying again, but I wanted to make sure they died today and didnt keep eating. Hopefully the plants wont show any ill effect from being sprayed twice in about 12 hours. But if they do its my fault for not doing my job in the first place.

Thanks for the sub. I am hoping that I will have them back under control by the end of the week but I wont be taking any more risks and I will be hitting with might wash as long as i can till the flowers look as though they wont dry back out. My humidity is pretty low in the room so I am not as conserned about mold or PM as I am about the mites destroying me. At least I caught them again before it was too late so i guess it does pay to check on the plants closely as much as I do. So far they have just been eating but they havent gotten the tons of silk set up so I *may* be ok. I will prolly shoot some comparrison pics tonight so folks who are following can help me see if I did any water damage with the spray, but lights arent on for another 5 hours and I was allready in once today so I dont want to open the door again.
