Thank you for the rep. No problem at all. I will be 5 wks into flowering with my current grow (the church and gbomb fem seeds grown in dcw 5 gal buckets) so I can understand wanting to start off right! I got a lot of great feedback here and wish you a plentiful harvest. Looking forward to your newer posts and updates.

Well, Friday certainly SUCKED! Lost all power in the neighborhood for over 4 hours. Which means Candy went dark for 4 hours during her light time, and the clones all went dark too. No, bubblers, fairly warm (I did put Ice in the water to keep things cool as possible) no water pump for the clones (I sprayed them twice an hour or so). No fans, no dehumidifier. Crap I sure hope that doesn't mess them up, they have been thru so much already (especially Candy)

Pic 1 is Candy 3 weeks into 12/12
Pic 2 is Eve 24 days old
Pic 3 is Foxy 24 days old
Pic 4 is Goldie 24 days old
Pic 5 is Hal (a dude) 24 days old
Pic 6 is Jenny 24 days old
Pic 7 is all of the clones

Maybe someone has an idea what is wrong with Goldie. She has the best root system of any of the 5 babies. Her roots are beautiful, white and deep into the res. Her stem is thicker than a fat marker. But NO growth at all. I am baffled.

Well, after the power came back on, I saw that the humidity had risen to 98 percent. Never have seen that before. Seems like no ill effects tho, thank goodness. Candy is 28 days since going to 12/12. Smells very nice when I open the door, and she is getting sticky!
Room temps are 78 day and 67 night. Humidity is 48-56.
PPM went from 1050 to 900,
water temp is 70
Ph is 6.2

Pic 1 Pretty sure that's an honest to goodness BUD in the making!!
Pic 2 4 weeks of 12/12 and
Pic 3 4 weeks since cloning

The clones are doing great (except for Goldie, who just ISNT growing). Candy has lots and lots of bud sites, but they aren't getting any bigger, I don't understand that either. I am still using ice to keep the water temps down, but everything else is fine. Candy is supposed to flower for 8-9 weeks, so I guess I will start adding the Gravity next week or so, maybe that will help develop to "grown-up" buds.
Pic 1 - Candy day 32 in 12/12
Pic 2 - Eve day 32 since cloning
Pic 3 - Foxy day 32 since cloning
Pic 4 - Hal day 32 since cloning
Pic 5 - Jenny day 32 since cloning
Pic 6 & 7 - 2 of Candy's many many baby buds.

I did find and fix some light leaks in Candy's house. Hope that helps, still no real buds. The air temps rose after the air (light) leaks were fixed, so added another intake fan to draw cooler air in from outside the unit.

Pic 2 - Day 36 since cloning
Pics 3, 4 & 5 are 3 of Candy's baby buds.

I also took the water pump out of the clone's tub yesterday. That lowered the water temp 6 degrees.

A bunch of Candy's "gonna be" buds. No new problems thank goodness.

The babies

I may be posting too many pictures, but I just love looking at other people's pics - so why not?

Don't know why Candy is taking sooool long, but she is 30" tall & has at least 100 pretty baby buds, so I assume someday I will have something to smoke
The clones are already 9" to 10" tall.

Thanks for stopping by & for the warm thoughts! Very much appreciated.

Thank you. I will be getting my bubbleponics kit in a few days (i hope, feels like forever!) but i will add you as a freind and keep in touch. I just hope mine looks as good as that Candy...lol

Any updates on the girls? just wondering how its going for ya.

Sorry 3 day migraine...
Not a lot of changes, but more pics! I think I need more lights (and money)
DW -Have you got your unit yet?

Good to hear from ya!!
No, no kit yet and I'm starting to get upset because I ordered it on the 11th and it should of been here!!
But other than that, your girl are looking very sexy. I got a small ish grow going on now with 14 small plants in soil under a 4' flour set up. I would show you but I have yet to invest in a camera (Im a broke ass)

Y you need more lights? THey seem to be doing the job.
How tall are they now?
Which I could try the end result, looks realy good.
Get at me.

Candy is 28" at least and the kids are 9" to 11".
I am not positve, but I think more lights would speed the budding growth on Candy - it is sooo slow. Patience is not my strong suit.

A few of Candy's future candy

No the process would not speed up but it would help making the buds more beauitful and compact mabye even larger to some point.

They still look great!!
On avg. what is your growth rate?
Like is it, 1 inch a day, 1 inch every two days, ect.?

Also I called about my kit like a minute ago and its not even been shipped yet (I'm pissed!!!!!).
Also I had order from the company HTG and they said it has not been shipped (made both orders on the same day), they told me it will not be shipped for another week to 2 weeks because they are moving the warehouse to a new location and you have no idea how upset I am.
$#&%!!

Now that i have got that out of my system, I feel better (not).

But anyhow whats lights did you light about getting?

I can't afford more lights right now, but ASAP I will. Candy is growing out much more than up these days. The kids grow about an inch every 3-4 days, maybe more.
