thanks old hippy, i"ll turn the water pump off. but shouldn't i keep the air stone in there to keep the water oxygenated? and from getting stale.
Never remove the air stone or within days you will have root rot because the roots will be smothered from the water with no oxygen. Have your roots hit the water in your resevior yet if so their is no need for a water pump.

I have read all the pages to this grow and you are doing great so far congrats. I thought I should let you know that your temps are almost perfect 75-82 degree is what i consider good temps. Your plants are looking good you should be proud. You asked a question about on the seed bank it said 8-9 weeks flowering well I will explain what this means. Flowering is when you start to bud your plant by changing its photoperiod to 12/12. This can be done at anytime during your plants life. You can make a plant veg for as long as you want or as short as you want unless its autoflowering, at anytime during the vegitative cycle you can induce flowering just by giving your plant 12 hours of light on and 12 hours off. OH yea its awsome to meet a female grower lol. Just one more question what is your ph.
thanks +rep i got a digital ph meter so now i can control it exactly so i keep it at 5.6-5.9 before i was using ph strips of litmus paper. very hard to tell with those.

i actually finally figured out that i should keep the stone in and yes the roots are all kinds in the water. lol i think it all comes down to common sense. and i did turn off the water pump. so all should be good now.

i would leave the leaves on for a bit longer try to let them fall off on their own,if they dont then snip them off.
oops too late, i cut them off this morning.

this afternoon my microscope came in so i took a look at the leaves that i cut off and i saw tricombs! yes they were clear. I know that everyone has tried this at one point or another so don't judge me to harshly, but i said hmmmm I wonder....... okay i smoked the leaves lol and let me tell you i feel pretty good right now a nice little head high (i did not even think it poss.) So you know when she is all grown up that she is going to be oh so potent.

i can smell it all over my fingers. hehehehe

awww that's ok it keeps telling me the same thing when i try to give u more rep.

oh yah i made a CO2 thingy today for my plant and it is working like a charm.

things you need:
1 empty gallon milk jug
1 packet of bakers yeast
1 cup of sugar
3 liters luke warm water
mix all together and poke a small hole in the lid an vuala instant co2

about every 2-3 days empty about 1 liter out, add 1 cup of sugar and add another liter of luke warm water. if you keep this up it will last forever.

just put it in your grow cab next to your plants. this is also very good if you have higher temps in your cab, it helps your plants to tolerate the heat better.

1st pic - you can see all of the new growth kicking ass
2nd pic - you see the 2 new main collas already growing from when I topped her 2 days ago.
3rd pic - she is a little droopy, it got hot in there last night, about 90 but she will perk back up I leave the flaps open during the light hours.
4th pic - my co2 maker
5th pic - my set up, you can see that i took out the fan and am killing 2 birds with 1 stone by using a cool humidifier, the water that i put in it is filter through the unit and i use ph'ed water because it pretty much blows right on her hence the thick stock.
6th pic - Superthrive, this stuff rocks!
7th pic - my nutes
8th pic - my microscope
9th pic - my book, tons of info and i found it on ebay used for 3 bucks and its like new.

The girl is looking nice barbie! I'm glad you topped, I'll be watching closley to see how exactly it turns out... I'm always to scared to top... I'm a LST guy myself... lol, but I'd say good idea on cutting off the old/dead/dying leaves. That's what I do anyways, that way wasted energy isn't spent on bunk leaves... BTW how is the little soil grow goin?

P.S. lol, My dog does that EXACT same thing! I have to get down on my knees tho, I'm way to tall for her to reach my shoulders standing up... And she is the most tollerant dog I have ever met. Little kids can come up and slap her and grab her ears and tail (I never let this happen, but sometimes that one little buggers will mess with her, and she couldn't care less! As long as she's getting attention she's happy! lol
