Sooo, my mothers aren't going to be ready for my next round 
Instead I'm germing 2 Fem PE seeds, 4 Reg Kermit, and 2 from a friend he calls it the fruit. After I harvest the other girls this will all be moved into the 400w room, along with the mothers. I'm hoping they'll grow faster under the MH. When bloom times comes, I'll select 2-3 mothers and move them out. All clones after this though!
Shots at end of light (1 week flushing). Darkness until Feb 1 and then chop
I'll post up some pics of the individual plants and track each plants weight.

Thanks, I'm happy for my first attempt at hydro, well growing anything for that matter. I had 12 when I started and they were smaller. Males were removed and I had 6. I'd say from now on if I'm going to have 6+ flowering, I have to flower earlier, like everything at 6". I'm going more Screen of green next round to get a more even canopy. I'm using Ionic nutes, pretty happy with the results now that I've learned my system. I'll be using MotherPlant for my mothers, suppose to help with taking clones.

Decided to harvest these three girls tonight to break up my work. Took about 3.5 hours to do all three. I'll do Pineapple and the bag seed tomorrow. Choose these 3 because they all have the same genetics.
Early Girl was not topped and has a huge cola the size of a gatorade bottle.
Dub Shrub received pretty good light, was topped and had 6 main colas.
Bushy Kushy naturally topped itself and branched like crazy. 4 main colas, heavily shaded by pineapple.
Top row early girl
middle dub
bottom bushy

Thanks! I'll update again in a week or so when everything has dried out. I kept it all separate so I can calculate each plants yield.
Since this grow is coming to a end, I have started a new thread.

Pineapple Smoke Report: So it's not 100% dried and cured, but dry enough to enjoy a toke 
Very smooth flavor, definitely packs a punch. Looks awesome under the MH, I'll get a shot of the cola when it dries out. Definitely a uplifting energetic high which I like. A big enough hit will make your heart race, but smooth tokin seems to just be really relaxing. 100% happy with these genetics, definitely did better than anything else in my environment growth/yield/trich/bud to leave/everything wise.

Bushy Kushy + Early Girl + Dub Shrub = 65.9 grams right now. So I'm gonna say there was about 2.5 oz cuz I smoked a lot I'm not too disappointed in that because 2/3 didn't get great light.
Totals are in!
2.3 Oz of unknown chronic (3 plants)
2.5 Oz Pineapple Express (1 plant)
2.2 Oz of bag seed mids (2 plants)
7 Oz (196g) total with 400w = .49grams/watt. Not bad for my first grow
I'll keep pineapple for meds, rest is going to other patients for cheap. Glad to have this opportunity thanks to all the people who pushed for michigan medical.

Thanks for that tip, I would have missed that and been disappointed, I'd rep you again if I could. Went with a different brand but made sure to get the 5 gal set.
Sprung bags just arrived today! (similar to bubble bags but less of a rip off) I got the sprung bag 5 gal set, which is 5 bags (220,160,110,73,25) and a pressing screen for a total of 80 bux shipped. Stitching and material all appears to be high quality. Now I just have to run out to the store and buy a 5 gal bucket and a bag of ice...if I could just set this pineapple express down

Looks great. Nice grow.
Regarding your watering schedule. With Rockwool/hydro you want to water as much as they can handle. That's kind of the whole idea around hydro. Even though it doesn't need to be watered, you gain extra growth and yield by watering 3 or 4 times a day for 10-15min per. Yes you can get away with watering less, but your yields and veg growth will increase with a standard hydro watering schedule.
I know it sounds odd, it did to me too when I switched from soil to hydro.
Water as much as you can without hurting the plant. RW breathes well. During my veg period of 18/6 lighting, I was was watering 6x a day.

be careful. you CAN overwater in hydro.
nothing wrong with finding the threshold, BUT you are doing a very good job so far. "if it ain't broke" ..........
