she wasn`t there today, some stoney faced cow instead, wanted me to go to some nurse to get dressings changed .. fuck that shit.. so one of the sound nurses (i know them all by name at this stage) gave me some stuff to dress it myself as waiting in a doc`s office with a gapeing wound wouldn`t be a good idea...

back in two weeks, lost the skin graft but fuck it i was never what you might call prety to start with hahahahahaha....


great news on the up swing in the garden, it always lifts the weight off you when there going well, haven`t been to visit mine in a few days so think its about time i water them at least...

md is your man, hes a hydro genius and understands all the science stuff..


nice set-up by the way, well done, can`t tellfrom your pics the soil grow looked like white powdery mildew, but the lappy im on has only tiny screen, get a better look once i`m on my own..

why go hydro can i ask? not happy with your yeilds of just fancied the challenge?

Hey man sorry for the delay, yeah to be honest just chasing a bigger yield, really hate working with soil the mess, and flushing takes forever and Ive never built any room drainage so the plants would need to be moved to the bathroom for serious flushes and my time is limited so it was always half ass-ed and rushed. I was hoping i could spend a few hours once a week and minimal time in-between to suit work but there has been plenty of late nights, probably more than when it was all soil !

Those soil plants in that room are really tragic, I'm gonna be posting some pics over the next few days without the light on but i dont think its the powdery mildew.. there just 80% yellow :(... the shame ! They didnt have a drop of feed and didnt really yellow out till they went into flowering, ive since got them some feed but the pineapple chunk on the front room hasn't improved, the others have improved only slightly.. ill get a few close ups your way though cause I've never encountered powdery mildew so wouldn't know if it is

Took a look and read your journal. and my first thought was over feeding and as I kept reading I was right and you figured out the problem. 1000w is a lot for that small of a set up. You are never going to be able to use all the lumens each plant can only take in so much. You would be better off with 400w.

All in all they look ok for now. Wish you had a better camera. Are you using HPS or MH can't remember if you said or if you use both. Looks like you have an HPS in with the color of the pics being yellowish, just the pics not your plants. Like I tell everyone I use the lucas method, its cheap, easy, and never fails and of course you can add what you want like when mine our in bloom I use liquid koolbloom and the last couple weeks I use liquid and dry koolbloom and then a weak of flush.

Hey man thanks for the input!

I think your right, the 1000w was acquired for a bigger plan in a different location that never panned out so i thought id throw her in, planning to run 2 600Ws in the future, they are both HPS with dual spectrum, i brought the seeds up under T5 floros and straight under the HPS for veg.

Keep an eye out over the next few days ill try get some pics with a flash and no HPS running, i wish i could say it was the picture making those soil plants look yellow :( Ill have to spend a few mins later looking up the lucas method, pretty sure i read something on that once but its buried in a stoned cloud of memories 8-)

What do you mean by overkill extractor? I've got a dr90 with 400w mh for veg n 600w for flowering with 5 ladies (one DOG FEM, og kush fem n 3 reg deep blues liver.

After ordering 100l of bio bizz light mix n canna plus soil so I wont be needing soil for a while n once my guy from England is up n running again after the new year ill be ordering my 5ltr of the canna range so I wont have to worry about running out of anything any time soon (I hope)

Hey R31@X, sounds like you well stocked up. Bring on the zombie apocalypse. My extractor is overkill because it's way bigger than I need. It's an Ostberg 150mm duct fan feeding into a filter muffler. Its a long story involving having a faulty thermometer and having too much time on my hands.

Two weeks plus from seed. Dont really count the first few days till I know its viable. So 2 weeks tomor since I put her under lights. It's my first auto too. I am very excited....like a child excited.
Feels weird already with an auto. It started showing hairs at about day 7. Only really grown Sativa dominant before.

nice buds man!! what nutes you on ?
I assume you've been trimming branches ?.. did you take them all off in veg?
Click to expand...

all my plants are in biobizz soil with biobizz nutes, i trimmed some lower branches as u will see in my journal pics but still have some lower branches that the buds will be used to make hash, all my flowering girls are now around 3 and a half foot tall the pics are only of top buds,
