Do you ever have problems draining your tub....mines seems to drain half way then i gotta get the rest out another way...but it waters fine...nothing is clogged up...just curious...

Yeah, it's not the easiest thing to drain...

If you attach the hose and flip the switch, it will drain about 80% of the water. It's a minor pain in the ass, but then I lift the left side of the tub by hand to let the water flow to the pump. That will get about half the remaining volume out. At that point, I just add the new nutes. I don't think its a big deal to have some water still left in the res.

If you are really anal about it, you can use a shop vac or add fresh water to the remaining water, then drain again.

Hey Smacc, check the clock on your computer. I think you are over an hour ahead! My response to your post was placed before your comment.

yea i was trippin of of that i was gone for the weekend and i saw my question answered but i didnt see my post...crazy...but yea i saw a shop vac at target so im gonna pic it up wed b4 my next res change....

Ya it will make life so much easier. Dont forget to get the wet/dry kind lol

Day 9 Flowering

Well, I'm starting to worry just a little bit. These plants are getting very big. I have just about 9 inches until my biggest plant hits the glass. I bought some stick on hooks that I plan on mounting near the bottom on the side walls. I'll use them to tie down the tops and attempt to grow them sideways. I think this is probably the best I'll be able to do. If anyone has any thoughts or advice for me concerning this, please let me know.







Below are my new clones (I cut them yesterday). The three others were too wet and rotted out. I think I've done much better this time.

on board! just checked this out now out of sheer curiosity and I'm glad I did!

I'm on my 2nd grow and just made a new op, just learning how to clone and keep mothers myself so this thread will be lots of help as well!

Great grow box by the way, I'll stick around with this and keep posted. +rep coming your way mang.

I'll hopefully start my new thread in the next couple days.

Thanks for stopping by!

+rep back at ya.

Those plants are getting big. Nice and bushy!

Those clones look bad, there probably going to die. Drooping stem usualy means u got air in the stem

Make sure your picking good clones. Three - two nodes.

my crude diagram of two nodes. Take your cutting off the plant. Put under water and cut stem once again about half inch at 45degree angle. I had so much problems with rooting gel that i recommend getting rooting powder at wall mart. Make sure there in a dome with about 80% huminity

Day 11 Flowering

More pictures of growth and bending. Check out my new T-5's on the bottom. Still worried I'm going to run out of space! New clones still bent over and sad, but still green and not rotting.

Forgot to post my week two feeding schedule...

Sensi Bloom A: 55ml
Sensi Bloom B: 55ml
Big Bud: 135ml
Carboload Liquid: 44ml
Sensizym: 216ml
Voodoo Juice: 130ml
Piranha Powder: 8g
Tarantula Powder: 8g

Total ppm = 980
My neutral water ppm = 150
Nutrient ppm = 730

just start a scrog and that will save you from running out of space. Im gonna do a scrog in a month or so. Im growing mother plants or hindu kush, bubba kush and headband. im gonna have 30 clones in this army scrog. Planning to harvest by 420. But check ingto the scrog blog.

Yeah but hes so far along i dont think he could do a scrog now. I think your best bet would be super cropping.

Whats the noise like on your machine dude?

Sounds like a washer or dryer running

SO close to the light already, are u using co2 yet?

I know! It's killing me! I just want them to stop growing... Yes, co2 is running, but I'm shutting it off.

rik, I don't know that I'd agree that it sounds like a washing machine . It's in my room, and don't know if I'd be able to sleep if it were that loud! It's definitely louder than a computer though... I've heard this description from the company which I think is an exaggeration. Imagine a low hum from an air pump coupled with the sound of four powerful computer fans on high. When the lights are off, it is very quiet.
