Well have realized how retarded some people can act some times under anger. But im happy to report the show is still going on folks! She knows how much I been loving this new hobby of mine and plus she will have some top notch meds. So it all good! :D it would of sucked to have to get rid of them. I am going to add my microbe brew to the system soon. I will also up the ppms. Im interested in knowing if the amount of gallons in the system have any affect on the ppms you need to give your plants? Say I have 1 plant in a 5 gallon bucket with the ppm at 850 in one system and in another system like mine I have 7 plants in 85 gallons of sauce at the same ppm. I think that the circulating system can eat longer that the 5 gallon one without having to use so much fertilizer. Am I getting somewhere here? Im just not sure.

I would be careful with the nutes as we all know different strains like different amounts. I personally would stay low on the PPM's if they are healthy maybe bump 200 and leave them be for a week and watch and learn what they want. I tried a run with a single res at a friends and we burnt some while the others loved it. Stay with the tea and medium nute strength and they should be fine. Your assumptions are dead on the small res should flux a hell of a lot more than the big buffer of all that H2O. Just remember controlling the res PPM is your ticket to happiness.

I will keep the ppm in the medium range then.

These are a few pics of the ladies. Some of them have yellow tips but the PPms are at 750 after the water change. I should of got rid of that pure sativa like I was going to do. But oh well.

Lol. I know they are a good smoke but they had to go. I may start some outside one day. Here are the plants after I got rid of the space bullies. They may take a few days to recover from the adjustments but im sure they are loving all of the light they are getting. I hope I did not affect my yield too much by waiting until day 30 to remove the 2 plants. I just wanted to see what they would do. I guess its part of the learning curve of being a new grower.I still hope to grow at least a pound out of my first grow. Its just a goal. I am know down to 5 plants.

It is part of the learning curve. But it's your responsible approach that is going to ensure you a great harvest. A good grower would have known to throw those out. I didn't see that lighter colored undergrowth before, I didn't know they were that shaded. I think you helped yourself a bit, even in day 30. A pound off 5 trees isn't so unreasonable, I think 3oz a plant would be pretty accurate, I think you might get a 4oz plant or 2. If you get .5g per watts on your first run you are already rocking and rolling just like some of the big boys. Some people pull 1 gram per watt, but that is tough as fuck, .78 grams per watt is my record, I hope to break that in the next grow or 2.

Yeah I should of went with my first instinct and got rid of them. But I was not sure it it was due to the different spectrum of light they were getting that had some thing to do with it. So I let them go a little bit longer with the HPS. When I seen no difference I chopped them. Im sure the plants would love this new light they are getting. But its one of those learning curves. Its one plant that has multiple huge colas. If I only knew 100% what strain it is. I think I mixed them up when I germed them but oh well. I had to tie the colas up because they are falling everywhere. Its time I go buy a few more yoyo's for sure.

Dre the plants are coming along great buddy especially for your first grow. Keep up the good work! +REP
Thanks a lot for the kind words. Im sure they are going to benefit a ton from the change. I will have some updates next week. The tent is smelling pretty great BTW!

So what are you going to do with those chopped plants? Hash or edibles? Have you checked out dry ice hash? Nothing gives me a boner like the simplicity of dry ice hash.

That is where I learned about it. You are going to flip. You don't know the pains of making normal bubble hash yet, but it's a long and shitty process. I will take pressed kief over bubble hash if it saves me 1-2 days of time. 10 minute hash is a beautiful thing.

Bubble hash is a pain in the ass. For this simple fact I choose to make iso or pressed kief over bubble hash. Dry Ice hash sounds interesting and any hash you can make in 10 mins and is fire sounds great to me. Im gonna look into this myself. Let me know if you try it dre and how it comes out for.

It smokes really well. The lighter more blonde looking one is more potent but they are both fire. This was the first experiment. I wanna prepare another batch soon. This one is going to be massive. I may even document it maybe I'll throw a vid on here for you guys. When I first smoked it earlier today I underestimated it. I smoked like two grams with my girl and then it hit us. We were both blasted bro we just looked at each other and started laughing. LOL!!!

220 micron. I have seen people make it with both the 160 and the 220. I have yet to try it. Lots of fun Dre you will see what I mean when it just starts snowing hash when you flip the bucket its amazing how much Kief you see on the table.
