You learn as I do each grow and it NEVER STOPS!...You will do just fine! go slow be sure of each move and never panic....you don't make rational decision's that way.....Remember when you see a problem that it took time to develope and you are not going to solve it in a day!! Be proactive..ie Put Hot Shot no pest strip in grow before you see bug's ...and give cal-mg in early flower to stop any deficiencie's later on...spray with sns217 for mold prior to flower and you will never see any of these problem's!! grow smart! watch plant's and be sure to view them out of the grow chamber in normal light to access nutrition defeciences (light in grow mask's these!!) ..and when in doubt do nothing! Plant will take care of most issue's if healthy..and you can just watch....your definately doing great now!!!

Cool thanks Jack, thats good advise. Have you ever used neem oil? I sprayed my plants and soaked the soil, when I got the ak's the mother fucker didn't tell me there was nats. A couple sprays and that soil treatment (no soap. Yuck!) And I appear to be bug free. It also makes the leafs shine.

Yes sir I've used neem oil oldest insectiside in the world!!When you use use in am and rince leave's later in the day!! it will plug the stomata under the leave's!! Never in flower or you can taste it!! Don't soil drench with it either!! It stink's when smoked and has a long half life!!!(disapation time!)..early on great just not in late flower!!jack

Ok sweet, im glad I brought it up. I haven't used since there was first sign of hair BUT I was planning on spraying tonight so I'm happy I brought it up and I'll just stick to what I've been doing. Keep watering, keep feeding and keep spinning the plants 180° every 3 days or so. Also I'm using a perforated hose for co2, right now in bouncing back and fourth from running the hose through the stalks and running it over the tops of the bushes...... what do you think? Co2 is heavier than air right? So probably on top but dug in a little bit??

Also unfortunately my exhaust is always on to battle heat(temp around 78) I run my tank 3-4 times a day for 2-3 minutes at 10cfm. I wonder if I should keep it on constant but at .5-2 cfm since I have the 440 exhaust and 2 heavy duty fans blowing mass air.

1 negative....... All my hps went out and I'm using only MH, I try to keep then both at 1000watt but when its hot outside and the room hits 85+ I turn one light down to 75% until the next day..... Rinse repeat lol I wonder if I should cut the branches that are only half height to allow more light to the better branches.(dominate tops)

Thanks buddy, I remember this happening before but on a much smaller scale. Compared to my other grows I feel liked this grow looks a couple weeks more progressed. I bumped the timer and the lights stayed on for 2 extra hours this morning........ Hopefully it wont turn into a problem

Started the cha ching part of the feeding schedual today, I only used about 1/2 strength in volume. Water from the tap with FF nutrients the p/h is at 6.5. Im really glad I'm using the 20# co2 tank instead of the 10# one I was using. Only double in size but seeming to last alot longer than double. My exhaust is always running so I give them several augments daily but since I currently don't have a ppm meter I dont want to over do it.

Haha sweet Jack! I'm doing great its 85 in Seattle and SUNNY lol I'm 22 days in so I still have about 40 days or so left rik harvest but my ak girls are champs! Buds are plumping and oh so crystally with very coated sugar leafs, oi can't wait to bubble bag them up ;) Tonight when they wake I'll post pics. I diddn't veg the sour kush out northern lights for as long as the ak's. Next go round I'm going to grow only 3 sour kush and 3northern lights but I'm going to veg them for ever!! Lol I would like to see outdoor yield on indoor grow. I scoped out a couple of your threads and you got some beautiful buds on that closet/laundry room grow. I also I'm a home body and only grow for personal smoke for my wife and I.
