600w Closet DINAFEM POWER KUSH

Looking good. I started flowering my Power Kush at about the same time you did. Yeah, they shot up like crazy. Had to throw Tomato Cages over them when I moved them.

Odd thing though, I am growing them with some Babylonia Fruit and my BF looks like you PowerKush in terms of flower development at this point and leaf width. My BF has buds like your pics and the PK just showed signs of sex 2 days ago. I couldn't have mixed those seeds up............

My first plant showed signs of sex after only 4 days.

Well you can rest assured that these are DINAFEM POWER KUSH as they are the only seeds i have used from my latest order from "the TUDE"


Cant explain the bud growth myself normally at this stage i only have small pistils showing until after the PK1314 week, this time they are gowing crazy lol. Not that i mind ofcourse lol.


Cant wait to see them fruit up some more.


I may have to trim some lower stuff tomorrow as its getting a little dense in there lol.


On a future grow i may contemplate running 1 plant with the 4 flood stakes in the 1 pot and put up a little SCROG style system (possibly) A Journal on here by a grower called BEANSLY is making me lean a little towards trying SCROG lol

Maybe you can see in this photo what I am talking about but I don't take as good of photos. The one in the middle is the BF, I think, and the ones on the right and left should be the Dinafem PK from Attitude. See what I am talking about?

I see what you mean but i also have a weak link in my chain.

If you look at the top shots of the WILMA showing all 4 plants you are looking in the top left pot and that is my week link its a good 7inches shorter than the others.

How did yours clone? I got 100% of what I think was the PK and not one of them even drooped.

Batted less than 50% on the BF clones done side by side and for the first 2 days all the BF was laying over. I was surprised any of them came back. Night and day between the 2 strains.

The tops cloned really well 9days total time on 24hours lighting schedule.

Same things really zero drooping zero yellowing all 4 rooted. My mother grower has 2 of the 4 clones i took as i know already which 2 im keeping around.

this looks outstanding. and through all the pix. i watched them grow and i kept thinking scrog. i see you're thinking it as well. cool grow...+rep

Cheers Danny,

Yeah the scrog is another idea in my mind, this grow room was in my mind for over a year while i found my green fingers using lower quality equipment .


Glad you like the pics, ive tried to include things like res monitoring information etc. I have not currently used plain water or any kind of flushing additive in 20 days , just emptied remaining nutes from res and filled backup.

Hey everyone,

Pic update on Monday!

I have so far since Monday had to top up the Res twice, the first time (Wednesday) was with 7litres which was left over from filling with 30 as i have 2x 18.5 litre containers, The second was today with around 13litres, Res EC now at 1.6 after i topped up, current pH is 5.76.



Peace.

Hey folks

Well today is day 22 of 12/12 and as promised here is the picture update.

I have had to bend over 1 of the tops on the front left PK this plant is stretching quite heavily and the light was being adjusted everyday to compensate for the growth. You may also notice that this plant is showing signs of N def, Notice the pale yellow leaves with Green veins!!! N Def, I think this is a pheno trait of this perticular one all the others are lush and green all the way down (see the pic of the leaf with my hand under it.)

So to the specifics of the Res,
Current Res EC 1.6
Current Res pH 5.81


I am contemplating on my next res change using the VEGA for a week to try and clear up the N def of the 1 PK plant.

Have also taken some shots of the roots coming out of the bottoms of the pots. NICE AND HEALTHY!



Hope you all enjoy the pics.

Still looking real nice! Not sure about the root pics. Do you want them exposed like that? I guess light isn't hitting them right?

Right the canopy is too dense that far down for decent penetration at the root zone.

There is very little i can do about the roots coming out of the bottom other than TUCK them under the pots with all the OTHER ROOTS coming out the botttom lol.


I really dont mind as if they get enough air they will air prune themselves without stressing the plant.


If the roots grow down into the drainage hole in the centre of the tray then i may contemplate doing something about them, If they happen to grow into the Res itself through the drain holes directly under the pots its not a problem as i am oxygenating the Res with an AIRPUMP and 3inch '0' shape airstone.

Hey folks

Well i feel like i have been in the dark ages since tuesday (had no internet or telephone)

So this has meant that i have been able to check on my plants more.

Now on Tuesday evening i noticed my EC getting higher. IT had raised from EC1.6 all the way up to EC2.0. This raised my suspisions about something being way off in my Res. SO i calibrated my pH meter and checked my pH which surprisingly had fallen to 5.1, then i thought what if my pH meter is no longer working efficiently. So i added plain water to the Res to drop the EC to 1.3 tested the pH with my current pH meter and it read 5.5. Then Yesterday i ordered a new pH pen. Today it came and i calibrated it and tested my Res before i done a res change.

PH4.8 Argghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So i dumped the res and filled it back up with EC1.2 of my flower nutes at a pH5.7.


This could explain the Yellowing i have been experiencing on 1 of the plants.

Anyway pictures below of varying shots including some under canopy shots. Above canopy shots, root pics and some close up bud shots.


ENJOY!

I think I just Drooled on myself. Nice work.

thnx .


A little update for everyone about my res.

After 24hours EC dropped to EC1.0 and pH had risen to 6.2.

So i have adjusted EC backup to 1.2 and corrected ph to 5.7...


I will see how this goes over the weekend and possibly do a res change on Monday to EC1.4 pH5.7.

looks great. ill be keeping up with this often looking for pointers

glad you are enjoying my Journal. Ive tried to keep my posts informative for everyone so you can track my levels and what i do to adjust said levels.


This is my first run with a hydro system.

thnx very much, i justed wanted to install a system that i wouldnt have to change unless i get failures, had this design in my head for over a year and its great seeing my research pay off lol.

Hey Folks


Well lots of Bud growth going on here at my closet. After sorting out the pH issue and the rising EC i am now stable at 1.4EC and pH5.8-5.9


Hope you like the pics.


I have included my Running temps and Max/Min temps not too bad at all when outside here in the UK we are having some pretty decent weather approx 24C during the day.
