And now for a peek under the ladies skirts! Day 44 macro shots! I wish they were in pots, only so once they finish I could pull them out of the tent and photograph them properly under some strobes/speedlights. Just dumped the res today. Last 3 weeks I'll be adding H&G Top Shooter (3.8ml/gal 1st...

I'd thought about it and anticipated the issues you're having. I went to Casa DePot and got a thin board (approx 8'Long x 1/2"Thick x 2"Wide) and zip ties the BOARD to a tent pole. After that mount the fan same way you would to a stud/wall. Cut the board to the tent height. The longer it is the...

Honestly I never got around to adding the UVs this run. Right now these ladies are pushing resin hard as is. Hopefully this next run I can get em setup. I think ~10mins/hour should do it. Too much can cook your plants.

Foscams were sketchy. I had evenything setup when I went on vacation and even pulled everything up on my iPhone in the airport before taking off. They are spotty at best. The pan/tilt is nice, but they could be WAY more user friendly/simple to set up than they are.

Thanks forced! I had a feeling that was the deal, because it only freaks when the lights are on. Unfortunately with my limited space I can't get them farther away from the nutradip. Maybe I'll look into RF blocking material to wrap around them. I will never buy lumateks even though I'm sure...

Thanks whodat! I'm checking our your "hazy susan" setup. Brilliant!

After I took those pictures I spent quite a bit of time tying up buds. There's about 23 days left (~63 days total) and the buds are already causing the plants to sag. On the 13th, I'll be swapping out the res, and loading up the top shooter. Well see how much more weight these girls will pack on...

DAY 39 Been slacking a bit on keeping things updated. Here's some bud porn for all of you out there.

Ultra Light Full Spectrum MH (133k lumens) Plant Max Cheap HPS (145k lumens) Hydrofarm Phantom 1000w Dimmable Ballasts

Yeah, pythium was my first guess. I keep water temps at 68* so I figured I'd be ok. pH has dropped like a rock a few times, and H202 always seems to clear it. I know tap water has nothing to do with it, as I only use R/O for my water. (Hydro and Soil) Like you're saying, I usually just get it...

Good to know, thanks for the info. The calyxes seem to be a pink/purple at the base, so I'm thinking I may have a similar pheno. Gonna try to snag a few smaller clones off it.

Also, going to toss the MH bulbs back in for the last 2 weeks, as MH supposedly has more UV than HPS, in the hopes that UV increases trich production as the plants defensive mechanism against "sunburn." We shall see...

I had a lot less stretch this grow once I flipped them. I am using FULL SPECTRUM MH bulbs (133,000 lumen) which I haven't used before. I used them for the first 2.5 weeks of flower. Unfortunately from a purely scientific perspective, I can't fully claim that they reduced stretch because I am...

I have been doing "pre-veg" under LEDs in 5.5" square black pots. The Delta 10 4"x4"x4" rockwool cubes fit in there nicely, with a layer of hydroton underneath. I have found a better method though, where I can veg in a 3x3 F/D table. The 8" heavy duty net pots fit perfectly inside 2gal round...

LF - I have spent plenty of time on the thcfarmer threads for UC. I also started in hydro. I have SEEN a dispensary grow pull 3.75# under one light with my own eyes. And guys like that, don't let you just come in and photograph their setups just so you can satisfy someone calling "bullshit" on...

The cages are Create-A-Cages - Sunlight Supply used to make them; I got mine from a website. Apparently BWGS is the new supplier. Also they sell them in packs called "Perfect Tomato Cage" as well.

1gpw is very achievable in UC systems. A friend of mine showed me their best pull so far out of a UC system is 3.75#/light. 440g=1# 3.75x440=1.65gpw under a 1k. A big part of it is genetics, and environment. You don't need to be super high tech, you just need to get your system dialed to the...

Hmmm, you're capable of pulling 3-4#s a light in hempys? Fuck. I should have done that over a UC. /joke I don't understand how anyone could have an issue with UC provided they have the proper equipment to do it right. I can swap 40 gallons of R/O, flush the res, and monitor pH right on my...

Day 24 Flower - It's amazing how much better things look when you use a color card, and correct white balance.

Day 23 Flower Everything is coming along nicely. Took a few shitty quick shots. I'll bust out the DSLR when the lights go out tomorrow, and get some proper photos. Water Temp: 68 *F PPM: 1250 pH: 5.7 Air Temp: 82 *F Nutes: GH 3-Part (Modified Lucas) GH CalMag GH Kool Bloom Mad Farmer Silica...
