nice nice, things are a moving in your world...... Im about to change my light setup to vertical. I think today. My wife is out of town, and its perfect......
I had planned on getting everything prepared prior to popping the seeds, but they were just calling to me all day yesterday. I was up late watching the Mighty Wisconsin Badgers putting a whooopin on Hawaii, and I just decided to get the seeds started between touchdowns.

I think I'll be good.....

On Wisconsin!

That' right you've got that veg tent, that'll definitely help out when your caught between grows waiting for one to finish and the other is picking up speed.

White Russian is a mostly indica hybrid correct? I'm too lazy to Google it right now.

Just a waiting game now.

:hug:
Yep. It's a mostly Indica cross of their AK-47 x White Widow.

Very cool................
 
I rarely go to games anymore. I've got a 58" plasma, a fridge full of beer, and a bong. Beats traffic, crowds, and $7.00 beers....
Amen brother. That's the way to do it.

The Ak 47 of that White Russian must be a really dominant gene to make it as indica as it sounds.

Unrelated topic, smoked some of my brother's weed last night and ended up with a 4 hour couch lock. Learned my lesson. :shock:

Never smoke it if you don't know what it is. LOL

Any updates on the Ak 48?

Well, now you need to find out what it is and grow some!

The camera batteries died this morning when I was taking pics. You just reminded me to download them and do an update..

Changed reservoir last night. Bumped nute levels by another 10% because it appears the plants can take it. Canopy height is essentially unchanged, and the buds continue to add mass and sugar. Mixed up the following "Bloom + 20%" concoction:

12 gallons tap (350 ppm / 0.7 eC; 7.8pH)

SM-90 35ml
SuperThrive 15ml
Gro 75ml
Micro 145ml
Bloom 220ml
Floraliscious Plus 15ml
FloraBlend 145ml
KoolBloom 75ml

1300 ppm / 2.6 eC; 6.3pH
Added 45ml pH Down to 6.0 pH.
Res temp is 67F

Ran this mix all night last night and the plants look great this morning. I will check ppm and pH tonight before lights on. Only managed a few pics before the camera batteries died:







Half way there......

EDIT: I was reviewing my previous mix notes, and I just realized I calculated this mix 10% higher than the previous mix. That makes it 10% stronger than the "Bloom +10%" mix. So, this blend actually has 125% of GH recommended dosage.

Looks awesome. Huge for halfway........
Thanks for the input WonderBlunder. The first picture really shows how the plant is pulling resources from the fan leaves and giving them to the buds. I think this bush will be pretty much nothing but buds by harvest. (Crossing fingers). In addition, I've never had so much sugar on any of my plants this early in the grow. I know, I know, I'm making an observation about FOUR whole grows, but it is noticeable to me. :bigjoint:

I went to the game just for the hell of it. The feeling of being completely freezing, loaded at 11 am on a saturday morning.... I was drinking beers and then I had a mixed drink(in a bottle) with ginger ale and some green dragon everclear. It was killer. People around me could smell the herb..... Im stoked for your harvest. You would be happy to know that I made it vertical finally. Just gonna dive in.....

Res was 1400 ppm / 2.8 eC @ 6.1 pH and a gallon low. Added 1 gallon tap and 10 ml pH down for a 1400 ppm / 2.8 eC mix at 5.8pH. The plants appear to be enjoying the stronger mix, and I may bump another 10% next week prior to lowering the ppm for harvest.

When I went to my buddy's to check out his updated flower room, I swapped one of his White Widow clones for an AK-48 cutting. He also had an extra Nirvana PPP clone which will now be one of my moms:



One of my clones is still clinging for life. If it makes it, I'm giving it to a good home.

Im bummed about the clones still. Nothing like that has ever happened. I have always been able to take more, but still no problems.

Like I said before, it was pure operator error. I did not take care of them as well as I should have. I've got a mom from the best plant, so I'm golden. I'll get better with practice. Just gotta dial it in....

Abnjm, did you get around to building a bubble cloner yet? If so, how'd it work out for you?
I attempted to do the shopping Saturday, but I didn't get much accomplished. I went to the local Hydro store to purchase the pumps and stones, and return a faulty HPS bulb. The owner pretty much called me an idiot because I didn't know these particular bulbs had issues with digital ballasts. I reminded her that I wanted a different bulb, but she sold me on the crappy one. She said there was nothing she could do for me.... I put all the shit back and walked out. I only have one way of expressing my displeasure, and that's with my dollars. I'll never go back, and I've got a Worm's Way about 30 minutes from my house. With my poor outlook and the Christmas rush, I decided it would be better if I went home and got baked......

Anyways, not yet......:blsmoke:

Her loss for sure. I would have done the same thing.
