Well I wish I could say all is straight but I been battling Powdery Mildew issues 2 weeks ago and its much better now and I also fucked up 2 MD plants cause of spraying them with Baking Soda. Other than that its a lot of work and is teaching me that I dont want so many plants going at once, I rather have 4 huge plants with less maintenance. Thats what I will be doing after this run is over. I took on a little more than I could handle but I am learning what I can and can't handle.

Yup. Came to the same conclusion myself about less being more when it comes to plant numbers. I doubt I'll ever bother trying to grow more than 2 plants in my little tent again. lol

Only 3 plants were showing signs of PM, I got it from my Veg Box which had ZERO air circulation. I would foliar feeding plants at night when the lights went out and it cause high humidity in my veg box which had no air circulation so that was the culprit. My tent temps have been perfect and what I learned is that PM is in the plants system for a week before it even shows any signs of PM in leaves. I originally used a baking soda and water spray on 2 of my plants that didn't have any signs of PM I was using it as a countermeasure and they got fucked away. Now I am using the Milk and water spray on them and it works like a charm. But I will say this, I learned a valuable lesson about PM now!

Now I am having a new problem with my Bullshark plant. Its definately not doing to good. I will post pics after work so I can get some guidance on it.

Peace

You might have taken on alot but they all look healthy, even the Kush plant that had the PM problem. You definitely have the Midas touch with the plants. I agree with you, working with 4 large plants beats working with many small plants any day:) I don't believe the spray messed up the two MamaDude plants that much. They are still growing and more hairs will appear.

hey bekindbud, should've checked out your grow earlier bro, kottonmouth pointed me this way. great looking plants! +rep . i've also been dealing with powdery mildew and found "greencure" works pretty well (better than milk & water, i found), but i am having some brittle leaves now and wondering if it's the greencure or something else. anyway, gotta catch up on your grow, but it looks like you kept everything under control. well done!

I feel ya on the 2 many plants . I had 7 flowering before I went perpetual , that was nuts they had no elbow room and getting good circulation was a pain . I'm definately digging bigger and less plants . The 4 I run now fill the same space as 7 almost . I cut the PE Bucket scrog this morning , that bitch yielded pretty good. I posted pics of the yield ,I'm thinking it's in the 2 OZ range :) Also check out my Medibud it has gone nuts since I rained on it!
You figure out your Bullshark yet ? Are the plants doing okay that you sprayed with BS ?

Amen brothers! I've got to put away the 600w once this grow is done due to the heat. No idea what I'm going to do for this summer (besides an outdoor grow).

Do you do anything special to keep using the 600w during the summer baja (like adding in a portable a/c)?

Sorry Tao, never saw your post.

Last summer I had to buy a portable AC just to get by, this summer I'm going to be switching my lighting to run at night and hope I can avoid it altogether.

Yo Kingofqueen, I hope to have a small personal perpetual grow going on when I move into a house. Just enough to keep my "weed pantry" stocked like a bar:) 5 premium strains of knock you out weed to choose between:)

LOL Ok I didnt have the correct light and it seems when I tried to get a close up it got blurry, I will perfect it in the near future. Trying to get some skills like my man Mane!!!! Hope you guys enjoy it, I made some changes to my grow, I will update later...

Here is what I have going right now.....I am still battling a fucking Powdery Mildew problem.....the culprit has to be my Veg box. It is made with cardboard from a TV, can the Powdery Mildew growth or bacteria absorb and survive in cardboard? I had a little PM on my Hero clone that I just put in there for 3 days. the air is well circulated, temps in my veg box is 80F and 32%rH. It has never been over 39% since I put a 4" in line booster fan exhausting the air on top and a fan pulling in fresh air. Great temps and enviroment IMO just cant pin point this PM. Its really driving me nuts....LOL I think I need to just get rid of the cardboard and get some wood around it and seal it with a hinged door. I will continue to fight PM....

I did my 1st ever res change on my mini-DWC. I struggled for a few hours and even bugged Tao on XBOX to see what I was doing wrong...I just was having problems getting the PPM and pH correctly. So I broke down and got some hydro Grow Big. Made my mix but only at 50% which is more the the original res. I want to bring her up slowly cause I really dont know what I am doing.

R.Ed Kush : zero signs of PM. I was thinking originally to harvest her on 4/20 but I think she will be ready before that.

MD#3 is looking good - esp. considering she's isn't fully rooted yet. Did you end up have any issues adjusting the pH to 6 with the hydro formula you got? Oh and you are doing right w/ starting the nutrients low. She won't really start feeding heavily anyway until those roots start forming little rootlets (which will start happening any day). The roots look good/normal by the way (don't sweat the staining from the nutrients). She'll be rocking out a nice growth spurt within the week I'll bet. Keep it up man!

I can't see the video - I'm updating my Flash player right now. Hopefully that'll let me watch it.

I got an email from You Tube saying that the SOny Copyright problems or something so I am going to convert it to another file and try to upload again, sorry about that folks!!!

I ended up buying the Fox Farm Hydro Grow Big, I got my pH to 6.0. Not perfectly 5.8 but I am not sweating it. I think Billcollector is going to either let me borrow his pH meter or buy it off him. I need it and its reliable. My pH meter is broke and no good, I am using drops now and hate it. Honestly I already noticed a difference in her today cause she got taller already.

Here is the link of my video on You Tube, try this one and see if it works
