Just a little hitch in your git along Ab. Doesn't look too bad to me, like a decent harvest is possible.

Decent harvest! I wanted a WeedBaronesque harvest!!!!!

Now the cool weed barons won't hang out with me.

It's just like high school......:cry:

Lookin good AB! Thanks for the reply...I'm just gonna get a bigger pump (400gph) because my current pump (130gph) won't fill the trey fast enough before it drains. I'm just taking the trip valve extension off....so hopefully my pump doesn't continuously run or i'll be fucked :)

I filled my tray with hydroton to speed up the fill time, and it also gives my roots room to grow. I don't have a "trip valve extension" on my pump. What does it do? If my pump runs continuously, it just falls back into the res through the overfill tube.

Yea, thats what I mean...the overflow tube. I have the pump, and the overflow tube. I'm just gonna take the overflow "extension" part off...and just have it as a drain. So it looks like Wednesday will *crosses fingers* by my first day of flowering. I'm on day 46 already for veg and my pots are so small!!

I wouldn't worry too much about your leaf curling problems (my guess is that they need more water though, maybe?). You're lookin good!

I don't know if you want to remove the extension from the overflow. If you do, the nutes will probably just come up out of the pump and right back down the drain. The extension allows the table to fill to a certain height, which allows the upper roots to get a drink. If you don't flood, you'll only be feeeding the very bottom of your plants.

It appears most of the affected leaves are starting to get normal again. I changed my feeding schedule to one 15 minute flood every two hours. I'll let you know if it works.


Let me know how your E & F turns out.

Hey Dog. Congrats on the doe. I love venison sausage. Hint, hint.....

The PPP's seem to have come through OK, and the SW wasn't affected at all. Unfortunately, I started flowering way too late, and the main stalk of one of the PPP's comes within 2 inches of my 600w HPS. The buds that are 12" or more below the light are showing good growth, and a good amount of sugar. I'll keep pulling the taller buds away from the light, and hope for the best. The bagseed plant is filling out nicely, but has yet to show any sugar. I think the bagseed plant is heavy indica, and I've read they take a long time to finish.

It doesn't look like I'll have a big bag of bagseed bud to smoke when I harvest my PPP's........

Nute numbers since the last update:


11/13: EC 2.8 / 1400 ppm; 6.0pH. Add 1 Gal "Bloom"(EC 2.5/1250ppm @ 5.8pH); 7.5ml pH down; EC 2.7 / 1350ppm, 5.8pH.

11/14: EC 2.8 / 1400 ppm; 5.9pH. Drained res scrubbed res and pumps. Filled res with 10 gallons tap, 20ml H2O2(35%0, 1tsp SuperThrive, 70ml Clearex, 40ml pH down to 5.9pH. Flooded and drained 2x. Foliar sprayed 1qt DW with 0.5ml Superthrive. Filled res with the GH hard water model for "Bloom" at full strength:

FloraGrow: 50ml
FloraBloom: 150ml
FloraMicro(HW): 100ml
FloraBlend: 100ml
Liquid Koolbloom: 50ml
Floraliscious+: 10ml
H2O2 (35%): 20ml
SuperThrive: 10ml

5 gal tap and 5 gal distilled water mixed to EC 2.5 / 1250 ppm @ 6.2pH. Added 20ml pH down for a final 5.8pH.

11/15: Did not touch anything. Let flush and fresh nutes do their thing.

11/16: EC 2.5 / 1250 ppm; 6.2pH. Add 1 Gal "Bloom"(EC 2.5/1250ppm @ 5.8pH), 1 Gal DW, 10.0ml pH down to EC 2.3 / 1150; 5.9pH.

11/17: EC 2.4/ 1200; 6.2pH. Add 1 gal DW, 10ml pH down to EC 2.3 / 1150 ppm, 5.9pH

11/18: EC 2.3 / 1150 ppm; 6.2pH Add 15.0ml pH down, 1 Gal DW to EC 2.3 / 1150ppm, 5.9pH.

11/19: EC 2.2 / 1100 ppm, 6.0pH. Add 15ml pH down to 5.7pH.

Changed watering schedule to 15 minute feeds every two hours on Monday. Plants appear to be responding well to the additional nutes. EC goes down and pH goes up at each res check, so I think they are starting to eat again. Buds are looking OK.....

Pics up in a little while.

Still looking great man, those buds are really developing well.

Thanks. I think I caught the cedar oil problem pretty quickly, and it doesn't appear there will be major long term complications... I still won't have a superior yield like I had hoped.

I will definitely do things differently for my next try.

I got home late tonight and decided to give my plants a quick look over:

The tent:


Tallest cola showing light and cedar oil damage:


The bagseed plant filling out nicely:


There was a lower branch on the bagseed plant with a small bud on it that fell to the media. I dried it in the micro and got pretty high. The PPP's are showing lots of sugar, but the bagseed plant is still kinda smooth. I think I've read sativas finish pretty slowly.

Can I come visit you at harvest time?

Because you had the bad luck male thing, you are cordially invited to my first harvest. I have a new bong and bubble bags arriving for the event. I hope you know how to trim up a plant, because I have no fucking idea how to do it........

Get your fem PPP's in the dirt!

Yo AB...check out my shit I updated :)

Yours is looking great as usual!

I already did my friend. Nice looking grow. Watch that growth spurt with the PPP.....

I think mine have survived the Cedar Oil overdose and are starting to form some good buds. The increase in waterings you recommended turned the trick!

Yes! I got that message....glad I could help :) Did you have that big of a gnat problem? I got about 10 or so during the 7 week veg in my sticky traps....and already 2 or so in the flower room.....but I have good air movement on the plants and the humidity is fairly low.
