As it is rez change night, I decided to take some pics and check the plants a few minutes before lights on. Every now and then I like to look at the plants without the HPS on to get a good feel for their color. Canopy is 27" high and continues to grow at an inch a day.
Mixed up a batch of GH "Bloom" +10% mix:
12 gallons tap (350 ppm / 0.7 eC; 7.8pH)
SM-90 35ml
SuperThrive 15ml
Gro 70ml
Micro 130ml
Bloom 200ml
Floraliscious Plus 15ml
FloraBlend 130ml
KoolBloom 70ml
1300 ppm / 2.6 eC; 6.3pH
Added 60ml pH Down to 5.8 pH.
Res temp is 67F.
Still bushy:
Bud sites in the canopy:
And some baby bud close ups:
I'm off to change out the rez, and then to my buddy's place to check out his new flower room.

Hey I just found this thread and that's a great setup you got there man.
About how much you think your hydro setup cost ya? I'm trying to put together my first one and trying to keep within $200-400 tops for my initial setup.
I'm going to be watching this one. Great job by the way. Scribed.

I'd say I've got $2,000.00 in my set up if you include the chiller, A/C unit, dehumidifier and humidifier. I think my basic set up was around $1,000.00, and I pulled 12 zips off my first grow. Mostly by blind luck......
I think you can still get a decent set up with your budget. There's a lot of guys that grow sweet bud in dirt with CFLs. Keep on reading, there are lots of opinions about which pieces should get the higher dollar unit. But I just want to say that you can never have too much light!!!!

Reservoir is 1350 ppm / 2.7 eC @ 5.9pH. 67F and the pump bag seems to keep the nutes nice and clear. Air temps range between 67F and 79F. Plants are still 27" tall, so I hope the growth spurt is over after 2 weeks.
Clone / Mom tent is a constant 79F at 60% RH. The two clones from the weakest plant (left side) seem to be taking off...
But it looks like they all MAY make it.

I think the PPP was a bit faster, but I did no LST or SuperCropping on that grow:

And I'm certain the PPP has been my best producer as far as pure weight. But, I think the White Widow and Jock Horror are better smoke. As I just grow for my wife and I, I'm not too concerned about total weight...
Anyway, the AK-48 has been a very easy plant to cultivate, it grows very fast, and I think I'll get 8 of 8 clones to make it through on my first cloning attempt. If the smoke is as good as I've read, I'd recommend the strain.
Thanks for checking in!

Looks sick, 12 ounces off that setup. You got it down man. I am not pulling anything like that. That is a little higher than my goal, but I am running 1800w of lights.... Now that I have my strain and room dialed, i think I should be able to get 12 ounces...... Hoping for more......

The PPP was my first grow. I got 12 zips despite myself.... You will be able to surpass me easily with 1800 watts of light. Your most recent buds are pretty....

I would say hats off to you and your first grow. This is my real first grow. Before it was all bagseed and CFLS and MHs. My first time with HPS and real equipment. If I surpass you I would be very happy guy. PPP is that Pure Power Plant or Purple Power Plant. I have been reccomended that for its yields.

I bought the Nirvana Pure Power Plant. I averaged almost 4 oz a plant on my second grow, and I had to throw out two monster colas due to bud rot. They were the size of 2 liter soda bottles.
Prolly gonna cut the second week of January. I wanted a New Years Eve harvest, but I got started too late.
Heading upstairs to check the res and tuck some fan leaves.....

Welcome along! I can't be two months ahead of you. I only put the seeds in water 7 weeks ago. (I'm on day 38 in the tent) Just checked the res and tucked some fan leaves. Plants are 29" tall, and I have about 16" of additional usable height. I should be able to keep all parts of the plant at least 12" from the light!The girls are coming along quite well Abnjm

Thanks for the info! I only grow for myself & friends, but I'd like to minimize the total amount of grows in a year. I've read that PPP has a piney aftertaste, is this true? Couple months ago my buddy had me try some of his stash and it was some of the best stuff ever. Amazing uppy high & a very noticeable piney taste; truly amazing! If this was PPP I'm going to shit my pants!
I've got a Jock Horror that's in flowering as we speak; I'm not counting on a big yield from it but I'm excited to see what the smoke is like. Your grow is looking fantastic; keep it up!

Nope. I used the 4' x 4' HomeBox XL. But I think my 2' x 4' Sun Hut will produce just as much. A lot of the buds that would shoot out horizontally in the 4 x 4 are pushed up towards the light by the short walls.

The PPP is a nice, all around plant. Great production, easy to grow, nice buzz.... The Jock Horror may surprise you. I got 15 zips dry off of three plants for my last grow:Thanks for the info!
