Ran out of hydroton! OH NOESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I can't really wait for an online order and the closest hydroponic store is an hour away and opens on Monday again.. hmmm, a friend of mine once grew using the same system I did but he used a Perlite / Vermiculite and said it worked good. Maybe I will make a mix of like 40% Perlite, 40% Vermiculite and 20% Hydroton.. should work.. right? :/ Worth a try, off to the store I go.

I don't know what I was thinking lol.. I never settle for crap, I stood there in the store looking at the different perlites and realized it might work but i am not even going to try. Ill just tough it out until Monday, keep the roots moist and plants hopefully happy. Then go get a 20liter bag hydroton... what was i think... perlite... lol

Today the last Headband sprouted. I now have 10 plants going in different stages of life. I will be planting 4 more sometime this week. I also finished up my StinkBud Jr aeroponic system today. So I have(or is about to have cause all of them aren't going yet) 6 Plants in FF ocean forest soil and FF nutes going, 3 plants in a 6plant bubbleponic hydroponic system (last time I grew they were competing for space) and 6 plants in the StinkBud Jr aeroponic system. The soil ones are: OG Kush#18, Headband, Sharksbreath, Cole Train and Blue Venom. The Hydroponics are: OG Kush#18, Headband and Bubblelicious and the Aeroponics are: LowRyder Diesel Ryder, Motavation and Sour Cream! The 4 I am going to sprout this week will be on FF ocean forest soil and the strains will be: Sour Kush, Sensi Star, Chronic and Sour Cream. Will update with my own pictures of the StinkBud once things are sprouted. Ill add a picture from online to give you guys an idea of what it looks like. Extremely easy to build, doesn't take much space. Didn't cost me very much. Not going to recommend it yet since I haven't tried it yet. I came up with another project today, I have a couple of brand new 30 and 50gal plastic containers with lids for them and I was thinking of taking the 50 gallon one, drill three rowes of eight 2" holes on the lid then insert 2" net pots. I have a extra submersible pump and some air stones and a lot of extra tubing. I was thinking of taking 24 clones from the other plants, and setting them straight into that. Let them grow roots then straight into flowering. Probably not very big plants but many more and less time.. I don't know, just an idea.. Knowing me it will probably be up and running by tmrw.. Thank you all and happy growing

Another update, the hydroponic system is now up and running after a trip to the hydroponic store. I have it sitting next to 4 plants growing in soil. We finished up a aeroponic system the other day and picked up the nutes for it. If anybody is interested in building it or want to see the plans for it with the supplies and step by step instructions let me know. I have it scanned into the computer. All my seeds from attitude have now popped, I give them a thumbs up! The hydroponic system is home to - OG#18, Headband and Bubblelicious, while the soil is home to sharks breath, cole train, OG#18, Headband, Chem Dawg and Blue Venom. The aeroponic system got 4 diesel ryders and 1 motavation and 1 sour cream. Thank you all and happy growing

Ok guys.. Now I got about 30 plants going. I built a flower room using a 600W HPS light with super cool ballast. Instead of using ducting I matched it or actually overpowered it with a 6500BTU AC unit. Also added a air filter cleaner using carbon and UV light and a humidifier. the temp stays perfect at 75f during light on and 40%humidity, night time is 65 and 50. I will update with pictures once I get internet back. Thank you all and happy growing

Nice setup....I have headband now, getting it commercially....feels like a headband wrapped around your brain.

Yea I flipped a lemon ice sativa pheno at about 3 feet...she stretched to about 8,9 feet, had to bend her down under the lights....

Allready made the mistake... I actually set a OG#18 into flowering at 14" to try it out and see how it would stretch. But I let its sisters keep vegging... Now the sisters just went into flowering and the one that has been in there a week starting at 14" is allready 25". It's going to have to drop from the table and sit with the 6feet plants because it's about to hit the light. I have completely remade my growing space, my flower room now consists of two 600W HPS lights hung from the ceiling. I have a 6500BTU A/C Unit that keeps the room at a steady 75f, air purifiers, fans, humidifier keeps it at about 35-40% humidity. I have a 12 site aeroponic system tto the left of the room, a table holding 4 soil and the hydroponic system and to the right is the big plants, one about 5.5 feet and the other about 6.5 feet. The veg room has 12 plants in there at about 8-10" in 2 gallon buckets of fox farm ocean forest. sprouting 15 autoflower seeds right now and that is what we are using for the aeroponic system also setting 3 into a hydro system. ill be taking many clones here within the next few weeks and my colorady growing friends are coming down to gift me with some clones of purple urkle, flo, grape krush and bling! Im excited. Also received my next batch of seeds, Vanilla Kush, Pineapple Chunk and Alcupulco Gold. The later being one which I have loved for many many years! I will post new pictures once I have a stable internet connection again! Thank you all and happy growing

IMG_3273.JPGIMG_3276.JPGI managed to upload 2 pictures to give you guys an idea of my progress! The nug is a Sharks Breath 5 weeks into flowering
 
Nice setup dude! Have you pondered trying a SCRoG for your overly tall plants? I have very little space in my grow room so on my current grow I'm lashing my girls to a screen in order to get optimal lumens to their delicate parts. Horticultural bondage - gotta love this hobby!

Good luck on your grow and stay Kind!

Well those tall ones were the only ones that will get that tall hopefully. they got to enjoy very long veg times as the flower room was being built.. The sharks breath and Cole train are now cut down, dried and curing. The sharks breath has a fruity kind of strawberry aroma to it and is very smooth tasting. Very fluffy, dark green with bright orange hairs. The Cole Train is light green with very light orange to pink hairs. Its like a small stem with just balls of resin around it. Smells very strong and has a fuely after taste. extremely strong bud I highly recommend it. I just got back from a 5 day trip to Amsterdam where I visited every coffee shop in the smoker's guide to Amsterdam and sampled over 30 of these shops strongest buds and hash. Big props to the Grey Area actually owned by 2 Americans. They had extremely strong stuff. Anyways back to the grow, I got a O.G Kush #18(OGK18) getting cut down next week and two weeks after that the blue Venom, Chem Dawg and Headband comes down. At that same week the hydro system plants are coming down too, OGK18, Headband and Bubblelicious. The bubblilicious is smelling like sweet candy already. My beautiful girl has been at work making clones while i was in AMS and so we have 40 clones going right now. She also topped my Sour Kush for me (so sweet) because she knows it's a small yielder. She baked my favorite cookies for my return (Sugar cookies made with cannabutter) and she also made some brownies. Have another 4 sticks or so, we will try something new with that. Time to get back to labeling jars and squeeze my glass of orange juice.
Happy growing everyone!

There will be pictures of buds flowering, veg room and clones plus some finished nugs.

Another update... Today has been a busy day. I have been emailing the attitude seed bank for a while starting like 8 months back, asking them to look into stocking the CALI CONNECTION seeds since there are many of them I have been dying to grow out. I went on there yesterday to order some L.A Confidential (I went to Amsterdam and visited every smoke shop in the smokers guide and sampled all of the strongest varietes they had and L.A Con from Grey Area was the best by far) and noticed that in the seed section there was CALI CONNECTION! I have been wanting to grow Tahoe OG and Chem Valley Kush for a while, they have the Tahoe in stock and they added the Chem Valley today but it says out of stock for now. So I ordered the Tahoe OG and L.A Confidential and got a bunch of dinafem seeds for free. Never tried them so Ill grow em out and see what comes of it. All my clones are rooted so I went to the grow store and stocked up on some stuff. Got 7 bags of FoxFarm's ocean forest, got 3 bags of FoxFarm's light warrior. Got some more FF Big Bloom and also the 3 stage FF flower nutes ending with Cha Ching. Also got some Gravity flower hardener, (15)5 Gallon pots and (25)3 gallon pots with saucers. 4 pairs of new trimming scizzors. A green light for my ear as mine broke, a new 250W light for the aero system and a new pH reader. Time to get to work transplanting clones. Ill post pictures later

Alright guys.. I need help.. Let's see if anyone on here is willing to help me out. My humidity in the grow room has risen A LOT during night time. It sometimes gets up to 76%. I don't like it. And I don't think my plants do either cause they seem to grow fairly slow right now. Before I go out and dish out whatever $200 something for a dehumidifer. Does anyone have any ideas?
Any help at all would be apprecatied it. Thank you all and happy growing

Hey pit i liked the new update. Sorry i dont think i can answer your question about humidity since most of my experience is with growing outdoors. But i do have a question for you. What light are you using (veg, flower or keeping mothers if u do that)? Oh and also how was your yield compared to the light youre giving it? Thanks for posting the grow ill check back later

For seedlings and youngsters they sit under 4 Fluoro tubes (24w each or something like that). When they get a little bigger they move and sit under THREE 150watt 6500k CFL's.
The flower room houses TWO 600watt HPS lights and just had a 250watt 2700k CFL put in for the left side of the room. With just the HPS in there I was getting about 2.5oz dry per plant.
Thank you all and happy growing
