IMAG0024.jpgIMAG0025.jpgFirst pic on the left is my utility station meters etc. also i refill gallon containers w/ tap water and leave them out 24hrs. to de-chlorinate.2nd pic are two t8 fixtures that I will use for clones of the top females for propogation IMAG0020.jpgIMAG0021.jpgHybrid hydro grow, just started seedlings 3-4 days ago. Im running a 600w hps on 5 gallon buckets propped up on a table. the small reservoir that you see is secondary to the 18 gallon that I use because the seedlings dont really need that much water, about 2 1/2-3 gallons. nutes are fox farm grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom and GH floranova @ 5.5 pH 500ppm's:blsmoke:. those other plants that you see are the remainders of my past cfl grow nl.H which i posted pics in the cfl section tell me what you think:peace:

Nice grow! Im pulling up a chair. Our grows are very simillar. You are just about a week or so ahead of me.

PPM looks high in the last pic. The hook on the end of the leaf is a great sign to be able to read your plants.
Ideally you want the tips straight out.

*update- plants are really taking flight growing about 5 inches+ per day, they seem to be alive in real time...hold on a minute while i take a puff off the weed of my last gro:joint:
Being a scientist is easy I have it down to exact specifications so the only thing that can go wrong is an equipment malfunction.
Anyways, feel free to ask for any advice alright Clonex.

IMAG0117.jpgIMAG0118.jpgIMAG0120.jpgFinal week or two of flowering. not too sure what the yield would be but by looking at it I would estimate about 2oz. dry per plant
