This is my second grow. I already screwed up some seeds. I think the plants will recover after reading some more about it. I read an article that said environmental factors don't affect sex until weeks 3 or 4 of veg. After I got serious with my first grow I got about 2.5 oz but the

dude, thats old information. the sex is determined at the seed formation stage and cannot be influenced by any outside forces after the seed has been programmed with the choice chromosomes. Just like dressing a baby boy in girl clothes....well, maybe a little different...lol

my growroom is outside & my second room routinls saw 100 in the summer time granted 65-85 i guess would be the cats meow 92 aint shit youll be fine i now use a duct fan to pull cool air from underneath my house to cool things down in the summer here is a few pics from that ''hot'' grow sanneis killing fields & female seeds pure ak grown in a shed with no ac i do however use a circulation fan th keep air moving a word of caution about misting your plants i did it untill i got powdery mildew on my querkle now i dont take any chances the larger the buds are the more you need fresh air circulating around your babies

man herk, wish it was "Ms. Ganja", cuz I'd be in love !!!

awesome pics + rep, well..

the color of my leaves indicates a low nutrient level in about 4 days ill increase the nutes i dont have enough roots yet to increase the nutes it would just be a waste soon they will be ready for a larger uptake of nutes theyre pretty much used to the light im starting to see new growth daily i would like take a minute to thank everyone for taking the time to post info & pics as its sure inspiring & gives me insight of whats to come THANKS!!!

hmm, as soon as my cultures have a root, they go into an 600ppm flood/drain, changed weekly,according to their instructions and never have deficiencies.....maybe look at a complete nute system. I have never seen a deficiency, until the one time I switched from dutch master to sensi bloom in one res. only took a week of fresh nutes to see it ! never again.

I love your clean set up man

I'm crackin a 5 pack of ace of spades tonight. Let u know how they go. Hope better than my space Jill seeds, got 5 that were tiny n white...0/5 germed. Hopefully these r better, they look 1000 times better so we'll see

hey juan sorry about the space jill ive had good results with aos 10/10 the 2 i lost were a direct result of my mishandling of the babies i kicked the nutes to 3/4 strength the day before yesterday theyll be full strength tomorrow with a res. change theyre growing daily next grow im going back to coco i think i like it better it holds its ph better the r/w ph climbs daily requiring adjustment every day where with the coco i only have to adjust ph once a week

bummer bout the space jillz, she is a very active girl, with stunning effects for sure.

I do not miss checking ph or the issues. once I switched to DM Gold it was over, checked out perfect everytime through till the next res change. I dont check ph or tds/ppm for three years. never had any issue at all with any deficiency or strange shit, no slime, or smell, or anything. amazing stuff

quick bud snap of this mornings' Ace harvest

she got a week of a 1000 watt uva/uvb grow bulb(tanning bulb) for giggles. I see the difference, but not sure it's worth the trouble of it though. ace is perfect as is, and this pink pheno is abundant, and the green one is awesome too

that sure is pretty i had a good run of killing fields everyone here is burned out on blu/purp so some green in there will be cool as well im still getting my aos dialed in gonna be cloning in about 2 weeks ive numbered my plants & ill number the babies to the plant they were cloned from then when the males show ill know which babies were cloned from which plant & weed them out ill be finishing mine off with a 1000w. eye hortilux the 6000w. i ve been using is a cheepie & performs well but after this grow im gonna replace it oddly enough it still gives me good results my local hydro shop gives me good deals so im gonna start eyeballing a suitable replacement & possibly a single switchable ballast that might have to wait untill another harvest

the Badass bulb is the only one I've ever noticed a difference using.

what difference have you noticed in the badass bulb ??? my friend runs 2 of them in 1000w. hps but hasnt completed a grow yet i guess advance nutrients is behind badass bulbs they were a bit pricey

yes pricey, but competitive. they have more par light available than my other lights, digilux,plant max, horti, etc. one bud from one branch from one plant, once a year= not so expensive for me. on the cheap, you can dial your adjustable digi ballast to super lumens at the end of a year, and get another year out of the bulb with little loss.

TRUE ! i always try to re invest some back into my equip

the ace of spades is waking up 2'' of new growth in the last 2 days i increased nutes to full growth schedule today with addatives they appear hungry the color will improve over the next week even the smallest of the bunch has pretty much caught up to the others

What week are they in?

i put them in the room mar.21 they were 6-8 in. tall now theyre 9-10'' in. tall & are almost as wide as they are tall

theyve been in the room 10 days now i had a couple of problems i had to make adjustments for im getting light spots on my leaves so i lowered my tower fan so it now hits my plants so the blame for that is on me i should of done it right off the gate it is a good idea to always have that gentle rustle of leaves as fresh air circulates around them i think it releives the heat generated by hid lighting the other problem im having is my ph in my res. likes to climb towards the 7.5 mark after 1 feeding at 5.9 ph. i have my res on a timer so it can feed while im at work but ive unhooked the timer & have to set the ph. every feeding im gonna flush tomorrow & change over to gh. 3-part flora series instead of floranova which is my favorite nutrient but as the weather warms i get a lot of slime next grow its back to co-co for me in spite of all this things are looking good & on schedule this is all minor shit the big picture is good im getting green back in my leaves & next week is clone time because this does not appear to be a stretchy strain im gonna veg for at least a month everyone alwas say to veg subs gear longer than other stuff & i think im gonna head that advice

i changed the nutrients last night & after 2 feedings the ph seems to be holding typicaly i change my res on sunday & set the ph at 5.9 & then by wednesday it climbs up to 6.8 - 7.0 & the plants have consumed 2-3 galons of nutes so wednesday is the day i like to top - off my res & reset the ph. to 5.9 again then sunday i drain the res. & it starts over again when i get to the aggressive growth stage i increase my feeding from twice a day to 3 times a day im happy with my growth rate & the new growth has a nice green color next grow im not gonna top them as this is a very ''stocky'' strain & appears to be hungry all the time the different phenos are starting to emerge & some are growing faster than others which means they could be males these plants have a very good structure to them

everything is programing & im getting good growth & will be cloning soon the ph still climbs a bit but with rockwool thats to be expected here is last nights pics this stuff is starting to resemble a grow
