  1. The Higgs Boson

    Automatic AK47 grow

    Today's update is another sad one. I lost my oldest one yesterday because it grew balls and today my new seedling wilted and died. Apparently, it did suffer some shock when I was transplanting it. Next time, I'll have to find a better method to do so. So, I only have one plant left but it is...

    Automatic AK47 grow

    This was supposed to be last night's update, but RIU was down. I can't remember what I was going to type, so here are just the pics instead. The last couple are plant #1 which I am sure is male now, so it has been removed and is awaiting execution by cat bite.

    Automatic AK47 grow

    Last night plant #2 ended up dying so I transplanted seed #4(pic 1) in its place. I don't think it shocked it or anything, but we'll see how it does over the next couple of days. Plant #1(pic 2) is still growing and I attached a better pic of the preflowers(pic 4) in hopes that someone can...

    Thanks for the boost, cronic! I do know that you gain more from failure than you do from success; but knowledge gathered from failure is still failure, and failure will not justify the $200 light bulb to my girlfriend.

    Automatic AK47 grow

    Yea, for some reason the closeups were kinda coming out a little blurry last night. After the lights come on in a couple of hours I'll take some more pics and put 'em up. They have been getting nutrients for a week now but the second one is a week older than the other two, so it probably needs...

    Automatic AK47 grow

    Things aren't looking good for plant #1. Its old leaves seem to be getting worse, and the new leaves aren't growing at all. It looks like I may have to replace it with seedling #4 soon. Plant #2, the oldest, looks okay. The lower leaves are a little yellow, thinking this might be a N...

    Automatic AK47 grow

    This could be the case. To try and compensate for overwatering, I pushed my water cylce back an hour to have more time to dry under the light before it goes off. I also decreased the duration of the last watering before the light goes out. Hopefully this will help.

    Thanks, Cheddar! I hope my plants look like yours when they get older! So, I started flushing my reservoir last night and they have now taken three waterings. They are on their night cycle until 7 p.m., but as soon as the lights come on I'll add the nutes to the R.O. water in time for their...

    Automatic AK47 grow

    When I came home today, the plant with the leaves curling on it(pic 1) is getting worse. The plant might be able to be salvaged, but I don't know what exactly went wrong with it. I'm flushing the res today and putting new nutes in tomorrow. If it either dies or doesn't start improving, I'm...

    What's floc? Also, one of my plants' (the first pic from yesterday) leaves started curling up yesterday, but now both sides are curling up today. What could be causing this?

    Automatic AK47 grow

    Ok, after waking and baking this morning I checked the plants to find them wilting. They looked underwatered, but I know overwatering is a more common mistake so I was a little torn on how to remedy it. I'm pretty sure now they didn't get watered last night because they got watered when I was...

    Automatic AK47 grow

    Of course! Since I had posted that nothing catastrophic had happened yesterday, something during the night would go wrong. My plants looked all wilted this morning when I checked in on them. The timer on my water pump has been giving me grief since I first set everything up. First, it...

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I'm gonna be hella pissed, though, if you get an ounce per plant and I get one of those chinchy 4 g plants jk. As for the nutes you can't go wrong with using less as long as they're getting all they need, right?

    Automatic AK47 grow

    No big differences today, a little growth (tallest is 4.2 cm other two at 2.2 cm) but nothing catastrophic or anything. I've noticed some white spots on the leaves (pictured). I think this could be something that's in my tap water that I've been misting them with? So now, I'm going to start...

    Good to know. I'm definitely considering going soil for my next grow. It seems easier, especially since I'm only growing a couple plants at a time.

    No, I know I need a ec/ppm tester but I've heard they're expensive. What is a good affordable one, I just spent a lot of $ on my light. Is ppm also an issue when growing in soil? They're usually 50/50.

    Damn, your plants look good, dude. They really.. tie the room together. I'm curious to see about how much you get per plant.

    My oldest plant is now almost two weeks old and looking strong, but I'm going to start going by my youngest plant. I can't believe that there is only a week's worth of growth difference between them. The oldest is 4cm tall (up from just over 3cm yesterday), while the other two are at 2cm...

    Automatic AK47 grow

    At first, I just germ'ed two seeds, but only one took (my oldest). Then I germ'ed two more, and I planted those when I thought the roots were long enough. What will happen if the canopy gets uneven? This is assuming they are all females to grow that big, right? From my experience with these...

    I am; however, thinking about going soil for my next grow. I've read it tastes better? I would've assumed that ones grown in water would be more pure than in dirt, but I know that the chemicals used for hydro can affect the taste. Also, I understand you have to water it less frequently. What...
