Wow that's awesome.

Do you plan on going on a bigger set-up next go around?

I'm really considering switching to Calmag and GH nutes like you said and ditching the AN nutes.

Thanks EZ...I think it turned out really well!! This is as big as I am going on my setup...I have to go as stealth as humanly possible due to a seventeen year old son in the house. GH nutes are working well and will def save you some $....I purchased the Calmag and Hygrozyme off of ebay...I have posted the links if you are interested.

What light cycle are you on? And when will u flower if ur not?
I am growing autos at the moment so no need to change light cycles. They have been on 18/6 from the start, except for a day when I put them on 12/12 when the Big Girl was being stubborn.

Oh damn!!! now we're talking! You're going to bed some niiiiice buds now
Thats what I am hoping for!!!! :bigjoint:

Well here are the girls 52 days from seed.


IMG_0010.JPGIMG_0008.JPGIMG_0011.JPGBig Girl looks fantastic....she has a ton of nice tight nodes but still not a single white pistol...:-(


IMG_0005.JPGIMG_0007.JPG This was the gangly retard of the trio....she has come along quite nicely I am glad to say...:clap:

The girls home received to new fans over the weekend, 1 intake and 1 exhaust and the saying "more is better" is not always true!!! Fans are a bit to powerful for my small space and I could not keep temps up (got down to 69 with humidity at 15%) with both running so I was forced to cut off the intake fan. Well I am pleased to say those little suckers are so strong that with just the exhaust fan running there is plenty of air movement...so much in fact that it makes the blades of the intake fan spin!! Temps are 78 with humidity at 35%.

Well my biggest plant didn't start giving signs of flowering after a month. I heard people turn their lights off for 48 hours before starting to flower to help it change stages. But they look good, can't wait to see the huge buds with that new light!

I can't wait either!!! My only dilemma is I will be going out of town for a week at Christmas and if that big girl is not done, which I am guessing she won't be, I don't know what I am going to do since there is no one to watch over her for me.

Wow, an entire week? I don't know enough about growing to know if they can survive, but I guess if you have a large enough water in your setup they will be fine. Did you research about the strain and how long it takes to finish?

Well they are only supposed to take 60 days from seed and there is no way they are finishing in 8 days!!!! lol I am hoping the 2 small ones will be done and then I can move the big girl into a bigger bucket by herself if she is not done....

Yeah, my russian rocket fuel is 8-10 weeks as well, and it started flowering after only 2 weeks of veg hehe. It's hilariously small but very bushy and filled with buds, literally it's about 9-10 inches tall. I'm also planning on separate buckets to tend to their specific needs. I'll juse the aerogarden to start the seeds. You grow, you learn I guess!

Big Girl and I are having a bit of a problem. She is just refusing to get on the band wagon and start flowering. Thought I was seeing a few white pistols and now I can't seem to see any...maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me!!! If and when she ever does get with the program she is going to have a shitload of bud sites but if she doesn't start doing something soon she is going to outgrow her home and I have no where else to put her. If anyone has any ideas on how to get her moving I would appreciate any advice. I am hoping the other girls are done in about 3 weeks and then she will be by herself. I was thinking about throwing her into 24 hours of dark once she is alone and see if that helps!!!! :wall: Other than that I am out of ideas!!!

I heard people turn their lights off for 48 hours to induce the flowering cycle, I would try that. I would also check online for other people who have grown that same strain and see what they say.
But the one that are already buding look amazing, just wait until that top nug swells up, I swear that top nug is gonna be more than an 8th!

Do you think if I did that now with the other 2 doing so well it will hurt them or should I wait until the 2 small ones are done? I really can't afford for that big one to get much bigger as she is already only about 6 inches from the light and I have no where else I can move her!!
