I couldn't stay awake last night! got so baked trying my shit out, then topped it with some ganddaddy purp I just bought quarter of.. I passed clean the fuck out!! Man you got some fucking bushes!! I know they pepped up after ya got some water on em!! they looked thirsty but healthy other than that!! those stalks are so thick!!! So me and the doc dropped some balls.. oh well thats how it goes, but how lucky to have those be the ones that did not survive your journey! Im pumped for ya! Cant wait to see the update later today! Check my journal out, I posted a lil sort of review of the lil buds I clipped and quick dried to see where I was at. surprisingly nice!

yeah guys I orderd a flood table the other day waiting for it 2 come. I got 6 inch pots that Im going to fill some with coco some with hydroton pellets. I figure Im going to try and find out what works best for me this grow and kinda keep this 1 as a way to make my next grow dank as fuck. I put back In the MH bulb in the 400 and picked up a 600 watt sun master super HPS bulb. Going to see how the girls like the dual combination of light. I also started the first day with bushmaster by humbolt products. Going to see how I like it with the dutch line I am running. I also picked up Carbo Load by AN. The room is staying at about 83 F some times higher some times lower. No idea what the humidity is. My ppm are 850 I am thinking of going up. Also Ph is at a solid 5.8 " for the plants in the drip system. The girl that you c sitting in that 3.5 gal bucket is 1 of 2 that I am positive are girls. I picked that pot up in a hydro store in NC. The Inside was treated with a special coating that when the roots spread out through the coco or other medium it stops them a 1 inch shy from the edge and makes the roots grow at a more vertical movement. This in turn allows for a better nutrient uptake. Well thats atleast what the guy told me. I hope that its not all just some bullshit that the guy skamed me into buying a 5 dollar pot. Fuck could be house home paint I could not tell the difference.
I have a couple Qs
How many times should I be feeding my girl in the Coco.
Is it worth it to throw the males in a forested area that I know real well and nobody could be to use them as hash?
What should the ph of the nutrient water that I am feeding my coco plant be?

man they really did grow in that time you where gone... does that bad air sponge work well???
It seems to work well When I got home the whole house stunk like hell. They were not even flowering yet. I believe that Is because Big bud Is crossed bread with a skunk viaraty. I think.... any ways I picked it up at this store in the Charlotte Mall that only sold products that are sold in infomercials on T.V thught I would give it a try for 12 bucks. I also picked up 1 thing of ona. Anyways long story short no more smell. Im not sure these 2 things will hold up through flowering. I have a feeling I may have to spring for a carbon filter soon

That pot will work,a Copper Hydroxide coating the inside of the bucket keeps the roots away from the sides.

Feed at about 5.8 to 5.9, catch the run off, see what you got, then the next feed compensate on the pH, works for me.So if it come out like 6.5 water next time with 5.5 if it comes out like 6.2 water with 5.7, along those lines.
Some plants use different amounts of acid, you'll have to see what your plants like.
