Dave.... GREAT THREAD! I have been reading this now for the last hour and just went through all 20 pages. I have the original AG and set it up 29 days ago. I actually got the herb kit that came with it and knowing that i couldnt fit 7 pot plant in it i actually grew 5 types of herbs and the 2 back row center holes have ganj. I was an Enviornmental Science major and have wondered if the same principals of crop rotation have helped me. Mine have been growing great. I have 2 plants growing out of each pod, 2 pods total. The first pod is at 29 days and the second is at 14. Both of the eldest look to be female, but I am not positive yet. I have been using the AG nutes exactly as they specified and my growth is quite amazing. The arent extremely tall, in part because i have pruned them to keep them dense, but I have clipped a few nice 7 pointers already. I am waiting on my deluxe upgrade and then I will be switching the light cycle to induce flowering. Perhas shortly I will upload some pics, but wanted to let y'all know that using their herbs helps balance the consumption of the nutes.

Ooh yeah... for all of you using the AG. I found out from Cust Svc. that there is a flow control adjustment for the pump on the back side of the pump housing somewhere if you should want to increase the flow and circulation.

Yea,Dave great grow. How long did it take your seeds to sprout? I germed my seeds in a plastic beer cups on a heat mat. I used ph adjusted water to 5.5 and a drop of SUPERthrive and a drop of Clonex https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=124 when they cracked and i could seed the root starting to show i put them in my AG Deluxe on 24 hr cycle. Again i used ph adjusted water with some SUPERthrive and some SubCulture root inoculant made by General Hydroponics. I put them in the AG on 1-11-8 but i they still have not popped up yet. I looked at one earlier and a small part of the root is showing but they still have not sprouted. It has been 6 days, shouldn't they have popped up by now???

yea i grew from clones but it took my clones over a week to root and they stayed alive. ide say youde have a sprout by 2 weeks, its not magic, it'll either happen or it wont. ive started millions of sprouts in my day believe me and ive dont 50 at a time for out door growing and they took a wide variety of time to sprout, so dont be worried. they'lle sprout.

thanks guys on the thread compliments.:joint::hump:

I also put foil on the surface it covers the unused holes and prevents algae and a piece of a box covered in foil to put in the front to reflect light back in

im at day 50 cant wait to chop these bitches.. im goin atleast 60 days so we'll see how they look then, hopefully fuller. got some sick fall foliage happening due to cold ass new england and me having to have the windows open to help control odor, i wanted some nice bright buds which they still have some brightness in stops but theres alot of red and purple.i think they'll look pretty narly there done though. ill be buying i trich scope at radioshack if not tomorow then monday. so what exactly am i looking for amber trichs, what percentage, or all? and what about the hairs will that tell me anything? like ive said ive always grown outside and picked my plants right around the first frost of the year so i have no idea on what they look like when done. help me out ROLLITUP......i have some more pics ill post after i smoke. be back:joint::joint::joint:

yea ive stared at them for a while tryin to figure out ballpark range of weight.
theres 7 main colas, 2 out of the 7 are the biggest, then theres the 5 secondary colas and alot of little nugz, cant be seen in that pic.
so im hoping the 2 bigger colas weigh in around 6-9 grams each, then the other 5 smaller colas weighing 4-6 each. so thats 32-48 grams.
the small nuggets i have all over the plant seem like they would weigh at least half of the coalas, so say 16-24 grams extra! so then that would be
32+16=48 48+24=72 so we'll see if im right when i finally weigh in ....48-72 grams is what i figured and i know theres no way im gettin 72 so im saying probably somewhere right around 50 grams, which would be fine with me. cant wait man:joint::joint:

from what I've gathered in the past, THC degrades into more 'couchlockier' CBDs over time and with maturation of the flowers.

EDIT: i think i had that backwards. i'm not even sure anymore...
