Well my goal is 14 off each so 2 lbs. But all my big ones look like they have 14 grams each already. I have golfball sized colas and 10 days ago they had little preflower buds... So if thats 110 days I can only imagine what they can do in the next 24... Im gona flush in 17 days tho and leave them in a week. Then flush the last 30 3 days after the first 30 come down.

love your grow. t5's are interesting and im stickin around to see how this finishes up. i've been reading for months and been tryin to decide between hand watering, hydro, and aero and so far i've been falling in love with aero. the style, is so my steez lol.

question, should u be letting your res get that low? i heard with evap/them eating, the ppm's go up and you need to top off regularly to prevent that from happening? do u always add nutes on topoffs? i was told by a friend to only top off. sorry for the noob questions, jus don't wanna make any future mistakes on misinformation

Thanks for stopping by
As far as ppms in aero you gota keep em low anyway but I keep mine at 850 ec 1.2 and they take it up evenly so its always the same. Depends on your nutes too. Like additives and such but I only use lucas and prozyme gota have a zyme Iin aero.

Thank you.
These things are really packin on some weight they got golf ball sized colas on the first ones the newest ones are starting to develope colas.
19 days for the first ones. Im also gona take down the 8 5 days early I think so I can center the af 30 and fan the youngest out for more light for there last ten days.

it went in alil messed up but 1st pic younger ones second pic older ones third pic younger ones 4th older.
as you can tell by the pics i really have a hard time believing t5s are useless for flowering. IMHO.

Yeh when you look at the young ones and think theyre only 10 days younger and that much of a difference with 10 days I can only imagine what 18 more days can do especially with weeks six to eight being the weight packing time.

I've been following your grow and I'm really impressed with the results from the t5's. I'm about to start a grow with the same dual 30 site Aeroflo setup as you have, except I'll be using 2 600 watt HPS for flowering. I've always used t5's for veg, so I can't wait to see how this turns out once you go the distance. What are your res temps like?

Ok guys serious issue.
I seen a little clear bug crawling on my res couldnt get a good look it was getting away so I killed it. Maybe a mm in size clear?
Been checking leaves for webs and mites havent seen shit... Should I be worried? I really cant afford to lose a crop...
Maybe I should take the first 30 down and freeze them to kill possible mites before things go bad? Im freaked out. I mean the bug was big enough to see from a ft or two away I noticed movement but was reallll tinny. Please let me kno...

Check all the underside of your leaves....check for leaves that haves spotting.....If It was just 1 bug maybe it's not serious but keep a good eye on them.....I wouldn't do anything to stress the plants unless you are positive of an infestation....

Been checkin havent seen anythin looked for eggs only thing that looked like it were microscopic beads look more like trichs seeing aas theres prolly 1000 of em on underside of leaf... Ok maybe a few hundred. But theyre all over it w no signs of infestation... Ill keep my eyes peeled. Like i said bug was big enough to see hunched over res checking ppms... Idk scared to death of spider mites...
