congrats on your 1st harvest!! its a mighty good time when you can get that 1st harvest under your belt!!! my weed smelled like hay for the first 3 weeks so you did better than me. i go from brown paper bags to jars for my cure. also those flowering clones you took the leaves will be all weird for the first week or so and then they will throw out regular leaves. i think its because all the hormones they got going on at the time. anyways they will be fine just give them some extra time. also why are you vegging on a 16/8 schedule?? go 18/6 you should get more growth. anyways excellent job for your first run. and good job i see a fan in your tent lol

After the bout with pm in flower and in the veg chamber i decided i needed more accesability to groom and inspect plants. i set up a bubbleponic system with 5 gallon buckets. i put a drain and fill tube with valve in each bucket, along with a 6in round air stone to supply oxygen. the pump is a 20 liter per min pump and is the same pump used to run 8 water farm buckets.
i pulled the girls from the original aero system and plunked into the new buckets, i did have to rip some roots but it didnt seem to affect the plants. they never showed any sign of stress what so ever.
remember the dirty girl that i reverted back to aero? thats her in the right front, a little smaller than the others but she made the transition well.

Yo bro, just beware of how big they get in the Homer Buckets, the plant I started in my Coffee Container ended up yielding 108.1 grams of dried bud! Cant wait to see the end results of your Homer Bucket Gros....Good work bro and good job on your 1st harvest, enjoy your fruits!!!

Peace

That is normal in the re veg process. The plant is creating multiple hormones and for some reason does that. I would not worry. It takes some real time to re veg a plant. I just fully flowered one I am about to re veg.

Thanks B DUB
was thinking it might be normal but didnt know. these are clones cut at 3rd week of flower or so, they are now like 6weeks outa clone. i was thinking they would be reverting back normal by now. was an experiment as i had never done it. ill let them run their course and see how they do. do re vegged clones do anything different than regular clones other than extensive branching? with this strain branching extreme branching seems its regular trait, if thats the only benefit i may just ben all but one and just watch it so ill know from experience.

yeah i'm a canna boy through and through. i think u can get it over there but its not as popular. i'm in coco so i use canna coco A+B as my base nutes throughout my whole schedual, theres no grow and bloom. i add canna N (27% nitrogen, 6.5% calcium and 3% magnesium) during veg and a little booster half way through 12.12. i add canna pk 13.14 for the last half of 12.12 to help with the flowering. i also give them a little dash of canna trace elements 2-3 weeks into 12.12 lol

pretty intensive but when u break it down its a fairly simple system :)

i use botanicare so far, dont have the exp to know the difference other than the NPK needed. im sure they all have their medium they performe well in. i see the canna can do coco like yours and they have a hydro line too that looks like a good one. maby in the future.
i have found the botanacare to be easy to mix a batch and add other goodies like silica blast. great white, and h2o2 to name a couple. i have to add quite a bit of calmag to keep def out but could be strain. kinda like canna im sure, get the base right and supliment the low areas with an add on.
heres my complete line up in a tote. makes a nice neat package

i find them easier to maintain ph and nute levels than my cooler res, i think its simply a vollume thing rather than set up.i have 30 gallons this way and only had 8 max on my old res. i highly recomend to any hydro people to set up the biggest vollume res you can. lott less maintenance...
the buckets are kinda awkard to move if full, i have an in line pump i can drain bucket in a jiffy into another and fill back up the same way. the fill/drain tube with ball valve makes it real easy. that way they are easy to move and do maintenance, swap around in tent or whatever. ive got another air pump on my work bench so i can take my time without stressing the girls when doing maintenance.
we had a power outage for 6 hours the other day and no problem, so i guess the oxygen saturation is good.
so far im happy with the project.

im loving them, was writing the post above when you ask, yea they are branching out great! gona give em a good trim this week, plan on virtical grow this time and want good air circulation. i think they have too much veg inside, so a trim is in short order

Growing in soil is laid back so far. the growth has been great with the 50/50 chunkey perlte 707 mix. they are branching and height is good, no complaints. i plan on up potting into 20 gallon pots within the nexy couple weeks using the same mix.
they are in 3 gallon pots now
