hello everyone,this is going to be my third time with this setup and my first time with this strain.i grew the mother plant out in dirt and then took cuttings too go into the hydro setup.the clones were taken about 2 weeks ago and ive already put them in 4" rw blocks.ill be doing drain to waste for now.im going to add a screen later for a scrog grow,bigger yeilds are what im shooting for this grow.im still using the oneness from humbolts nutes along with calmag,hydroplex,open seseame,beastie blooms,cha ching,super thrive,and ph up and down.the lights for clones and early veg are 3 t5 flouros and 2 65w cfl's.end of veg and flower will be done with a 400w hps with a a/c hood.any and all comments and questions are welcome and encouraged.here are some pics of my momma and the clones

they're lookin healthy, maybe a touch hungry too. Oh and u should cover those cubes with something I see some mold starting there on the top. Keep it up subbed.

yeah,they mite be a little hungry but i dont want to push them too hard too fast.i need to make some covers cause yeah,algea is starting already.i hate algea,i had it the whole grow last time.the guy at the hydro store said to try hygrozyme but i dont want to spend 20 bucks on a tiny bottle that might not work

Hygrozyme works for me... I use it at about half str...little pricey but keeps the agle away for me. No so much the stuff on the top... you need the 1 2 punch.. use a zyme and block as much light as possible from getting to medium, tray, rez ect.

thanks for the advice on the hygrozyme someguy15,i was thinking about getting it and trying it out but wanted to hear some good results from someone else.plus the guy at the hydro shop said he'll give me a 20% discount on it(i get 15% for being a med patient and compassion club member anyway)so i think im gonna do it

this sucks,i have my yearly home inspection with the fire marshall this monday so i have to break my grow down and hide my plants.im legal and wont get in trouble with the law but my landlord isnt cool with it so i dont want the hassle.my neighbor is letting me put the girls in her garage for the time needed and the setup only takes 30 minutes to break down.everything should go fine but it still sucks.im more worried about bringing pest back into the garden from her garge,that would really suck,im gonna have a hot shots no pest strip on top of the pots to help keep any pests away.ill update when i put the grow back up in a few days.

i just got done talking to some one at the compassion club and i might become a caregiver so that will add 12 plants to the garden,its not for sure yet but it would be pretty cool.if i do it im gonna have 3 mothers and have a clone/veg area,and two sections in the flower area,there will be 7 plants in each area and they will spend 4 weeks in each area.so ill harvest 7 plants every 4 weeks,ill also upgrde the light to a 600 and maybe keep the 400 in there as well,well see how it happens if it happens.

its day 18 on 12/12 and the girls are between 31''-34''tall.i just did a res change and i put the nutes up to 1340 ppm,its kinda strong but i want to see if they can handle it,i wanted to have it at 1200ppm but i put to much in and said fuck it.i also went in and lollypoped again,i took the small stuff that gew back plus another 2-5 nodes worth of branches/leaves on each plant,that should push all that energy towards the tops and get big buds
