Aaaaannnnd I'm BACK! Holy crap it's been over two weeks since the last update. The girls are all dead. The end. No, seriously, all is well... really well. I ended up topping off the reservoir entirely before leaving for my vacation and came back with still a good amount of water left...

Wow have I dropped the ball with updating my journal. Not to worry, I haven't been neglecting my girls in the same way. 24 days into 12/12 lighting and my girls won't stop growing! I had to ghetto-rig some of the branches by tying trying a string to them and pulling them off towards the side...

19 days into 12/12 lighting. There are freakin' buds everywhere. Added two gallons of water to the reservoir last night. There are a lot of dying leaves at the bottom, cleaning away over a handful of leaves every night. The plants continue to grow upwards, I will need to come up with a way...

yeah, it's unbelievable how tall they grew. i'm going to have to come up with a plan sometime soon to somehow tie those tops down. i can't be happier with my first grow.

16 days into 12/12 lighting. It's unbelievable how massively massive they are now. How much more will they grow? Some of the plants are getting awfully close to the HID bulb and I don't want any of the buds getting burned. Added two gallons of water to the reservoir, cleaned out some more...

seriously jigfresh, what happened to my little babies? they grow up so fast... as for your solution, that's not a bad idea, i may try testing it out and see how ghettofabulous it will turn out. as for the buds... take a look at the pics below... :D

I'm now two weeks into 12/12 lighting. I changed the reservoir on Wednesday, going with the "bloom" nutes mixture recommended by GH. The girls seemed to love this, you could see a visible difference between Wednesday and Thursday. I also did a lot of maintainance, cleaning away a significant...

those are some really sexy pictures.

Been a few days since an update... I'm now 50 days into my grow, 11 days into 12/12 lighting. And SURPRISE! THEY'RE ALL GIRLS! Okay, so I knew that all along since I used feminized seeds. Here's an update of everything I've done these last few days: Reservoir I never did change my reservoir...

Thanks Crump. And thanks to everyone for the rep.

Added another gallon of water to the reservoir today. 7 days into 12/12 lighting and the girls are starting to show some pre-flower (see pic). I'll be changing the reservoir on Sunday and plan on using the "transition" ratio again for one more week.

yeah, i figured i would only pick out the dead leaves. thanks for the reassurance. it's ridiculous how massive they are, and how they're unrecognizable. i've been taking pics every day and it's crazy seeing the progress.

Updates have been coming every other day lately. Otherwise, you would keep reading "i can't believe how big they're getting" over and over again. Since the reservoir change on Monday, the three have already drank a gallon of water. I also retied down the tops of JG and LL so they can take...

The grow is 3 days into 12/12 lighting. Spent some quality time with the girls today. Here's what I did: 1) Changed the reservoir: I used the "Transition" nutes mixture recommended by GH's feeding schedule. I also have 3 gallons of treated water (pH adjusted and treated for chlorine &...

First off... congrats on your first bowl. How is it? You're def not crowding my space, if anything, I appreciate having someone looking over my shoulder for my first grow. You've been a really big help. As for the snapped branch on JG, she's still growing strong, though there's a big hole in...

I bumped up the switch to 12/12 lighting by a couple days. The girls were growing much faster than I anticipated. I swapped out the 6500K CFLs for the 2700K CFLs. The HID has both halide and sodium... bought this bulb so it could be used for both veg and flowering. As for the nutes, I did...

jigfresh... as always, you come through with some really helpful feedback. i'm passing around free reps right now just to try to give you some more and it keeps saying i have to pass it around more... so another verbal +rep to you. check out my update in the next post and what i decided to...

was about to post a similar question, but this thread is exactly what i needed. nodrugs4me, so i'm using General Hydroponics Flora nutes following their recommended cycle (http://www.generalhydroponics.com/genhydro_US/feeding_charts/GH_KeepItSimple_Recirculating.pdf). i'm going to be switching...

keep it up droski and don't let these nancies bring you down. as a first time grower myself, i've learned there's a bit of trial on error. if you do solicit for help, be open minded to the suggestions... but as for the unwarranted bashing, just keep doing what you're doing. my first grow is...

It's technically day 39, but I'm putting up pictures that I took last night. Each plant have multiple points of primary grow now so needless to say, I'm pleased with the progress of the LST. I'm entering the last few days of 18/6 lighting and expecting to switch to 12/12 on Monday. Question...
