400w Hps drip Hydro unknown indica

YAY drained my rez out on to the ground, so I got to use my wet dry vac. Well this time I can tell you it was well worth the $30 I payed for it. I could have spent about 2 hours mopping the water up but with a wet dry vac it only took about 5min to get my floor clean.

It was time to change out the rez anyhow. Good thing I only drained half the rez instead of the whole thing...since I'm also out of water.

Well I'm just waiting for my girls to wake up here in 6 hours so I can do my final nute change since this is week 8 of flower and I plan on running it all the way up to week 10.

This reminds me I need to buy one of those green led flashlights or bulbs so I can work while they are sleeping.

I also need to buy a timer for my veg dome so I can save power since it's currently running 24/24 with 2, 34w bulbs I guess it's not that much power.

When I get some more cash I may invest in a small tent for veg or maybe for moms because I'm thinking now I want to keep two strains and the totes I'm using for my veg dome aren't that light tight. I have some really powerful sensi seeds that I want to grow so we'll just have to see what happens.

Just did my final rez change for week 8 until my final 2 weeks flush.
Here are the nutes for the 5 gallon rez

75ml pure blend pro flower
5ml superthrive
25ml silicablast
50ml calmag
Still contains 1/4 of a BTI mosquito dunk.

Ppm was 1340 and ph was 5.4 after rez change.

Didn't seen any gnats or new ph burn. Everything is looking great buds are thickening up and looking great.

Just checked out my trichomes with a 100x microscope and they are starting to get milky (WIsh I could take a picture but it's impossible sorry)

I'm seeing about 3 out of 10 are milky with still 3 weeks to go till harvest.

A few were starting to amber up on the one plant that got nute burn but that may be from stress, I'm hoping it to bounce back. 3 weeks should be more than enough time. The ambient smell in the tent is still mild at best. If you touch the buds then you will smell it on your hands very powerful medicine smell like pure monkey brains.

This plant is very stealthy and great to grow anywhere. Honestly it smells more while vegging than when it's in flower.

Here are a few updated bud shots.

ph was at 7.9 wow what did that? I took it down to 5.6

more update shots

it looks like there are about 20 plants in the last pictures but there are only really 3 that you can see and 2 that are kinda small and you can't see.

watered my veg dome the ph was 5.0 kinda low but fuckit. I don't think I'm going to have enough time to make seeds in my cloner I'll have to do something else maybe take out the plants in the cloner and then seed them in the veg dome. If I do that I'll have to re do the venting

Holly crap! my rez was half empty today and the PH was up to 8.6! I noticed that inside the drip system the water wasn't draining correctly since I'm not using 3 of the spots they just overflow into the trough and the roots were underwater. So I turned off the 3 that were not in use. refilled the rez and the ppm was 1100 so I gave it 4ml of superthrive and ph'd to 5.5.

I noticed lots of burning on the two plants on the left hand side, but I think they will make it. I believe that burn is from past damage I did before. My next two rez changes will be flushes for harvest

Two and a half more weeks until harvest. I hope for straight shooting from here on. 2 1/2 more weeks 2 1/2 more weeks! buds are looking and smelling hella sexy besides a bit of nute burn Gnats are GONE! haven't seen one. Two and a half more weeks till some sticky icky nuggles I hope to get at least one ounce but for this trial run I'll take whatever I can get. My hands smell like pure sticky icky

I removed the 3 plants I was going to seed in my cloner but I realized I'm not going to have enough time I may seed them when I get done with the cycle in my flower tent. or I may just say fuckit. The male looked healthy and the females I pre sexed look like shit as always. If I fuck with them enough maybe they will hermi and I will get some fem seeds LOL!

WTF! I just rechecked my ph and it was up to 7.2 so I re Ph'd it to 5.2 just in case it wants to work it self back up again in the next 2 hours I'll have to keep an eye open for this shit.

back up to 6.5ph I think my beneficials are acting up. I may have to nuke them with h2o2

Im starting to think my ph meter is junk. I'm going to go back to using the chemical ph drops until I get some calibration solution

My hanna says 6.2 but the chemical tester says 4.0ph. im about to just dump the rez and run straight water till harvest

PH orangeish yellow but more on the yellow side. PPM 1240. Obviously my PH meter is broken as fuck since the ppm is so high it wasn't taking in nutes. Today after re-ph with chemical ph tester I noticed a ton of water was taken up probably by thirsty ph locked out plants that can finally drink and eat. My electronic ph tester said the ph was at 7.5ph that's impossible if the chemical tester says its at low 5.0

OK I'm retarded. I just discovered a light leak coming from the air filter/fan in my tent. It had a small blue LED that indicated the date you need to change the carbon filter. I was wondering why my shit wasn't bulking up as much as it should. I think it was way into flower so it didn't affect it or make it go hermaphrodite or any shit, but it probably did make it bulk up less and be less dense. Like I said this is the test run LOL! I just hope nothing else fucks up...don't jinx me! I think I'm going to replace the air purifier/fan with some real fans or just a fan for now so I can
1. take some of the weight off the tent
2. put the air filter where it's needed, outside of the tent.

everything is at a nice steady more yellow than orange ph wise. The ppm shot up to like 1430 I don't know why possibly benni's are working better under the proper ph or the plants are fucked up somehow. Maybe it's because I took a deeper measurement than normal. Normally I just skim the surface to the first mark on the ppm meter this time I submurged it to the deepest. I'm ordering a 6" fan and ph meter calibration solution.

I changed the cycles on my vent fan because temps were staying at about 72f with the light on. So I'm trying to get that up The rez temps were at about 66-68f with the light on so I may just turn on a tank heater till they warm up. I've got 2 weeks I'm thinking I may run nutes until the last week and use clearex because these girls didn't get the full amount of lovin because of me and a nasty gnat problem and now a uncalibrated ph wand.

My poor girls are toasty. Stupid Ph meter I've got some calibration solution in the mail along with a 6" fan and some other goodies.

week 9 nutes
35 mL Pure Blend Pro Flower
25 mL silicablast
5 mL superthrive
50 mL calmag


Trichs are getting milky there is a smell starting up now very bold chocolate smell and lovely. The one plant with the nute burn is showing tons of red hairs and the stems are budding up I'll post some pics when they wake up or some shit.

My veg tray has lots of yellowing I think it's because of lack of nutes this time so I folier fed and cleaned up some of the leaves that fell off.

My babies are drinking it up they drank half my 5 gallon rez so I re topped and took the ppm it was 640ppm I want to keep nutes but I'm trying to lower them a bit for the last week of flower. if it gets lower than 500ppm I may add more if it gets that low in the next few days. Right now I'm really just trying not to burn the shit out of anything there was enough damage from my measurement fuckup. LESS IS MORE! that's my motto my creed my mantra I will chant forever! FOREVER!!!!..erm sorry LOL!

Here are some update pictures
