**First Grow Hydroponics 14 OG Kush** one week into budding

I was reading Rosebud today and they stated in the sensibud+bloom there is pH perfect in it so you will never have to adjust your ph. Is this true or should I still be doing my routine of adjusting pH first then adding the nutes?

Alright so I'm going to vent a little here... My dad is working on building the vegroom this week. Last night i come home to him working on it with the budding room doors open and their lights were off... Then this morning i walk in and the left light was off cause he was messing with it and is literally technologically challenged. So last night my girls got a little confused on their cycle . And to add to that he didnt have any more hydroton so he thought taking a little from all the plants to use for the new clones would be alright ... I definitely let him have it because he used so much in some buckets that their roots were showing. Luckily i made that black plastic screen or they would be in major shock.

Anyways I have a question about the new veg room.. Should I only make one side of the room veg and then double layer the trays for the clones (kinda like a 2 story) and then make a door for that side? That way i could use the other side to bud more plants. Or do you think i should just make the whole room a veg room? By the way dont worry about those tall shitty plants thats just the difference of my dads growing.



















Also some of the leaves are curling and have some spots. Ive found a few spider mites i think as well :/. What to do?

Alright so we are going to set up the left side to a double story veg room and make a tarp that can zip off and be reflective for the door. The right side will be another budding room.

these kick ass congratulations hope youre this successful til its time to smoke!

Wow, that's an impressive setup.

Thanks guys. Anyone know anything about the sensigrow+bloom? I think it might be there knew ones with ph perfect but I have no clue

Don't know about that brand, but you want to check your nute pH every time regardless in my opinion. If you are using tap water (sorry, haven't rescanned the thread) or even purified water, the pH is bound to be off from the beginning. I was using my tap water and found out it was around 8.5, then switched to purified water from the store, but it is still neutral pH 7. Once I add my nutes I have to add tons of pH down to get to 5.5 - 6.0.

What are you going to do about the mites? I had them last go round and took care of them with some pyrithrin spray that said safe to use up until harvest and was made for fruits, veg's and herbs. It basically fried my pistils, but I kept the mites under control. I say under control because I never totally got rid of them, but I didn't have any web issues and stopped spraying 2 weeks before harvest.

I have this spray for them thats all organic and safe to use. And yeah I have to adjust my pH before my nutes because they have buffers in them that mess with it. I check like every other day to make sure its in line.

Just did a little research on lighting. Looked at my bulbs while the lights were off and found out there 600w HID. So now i got 9 OG plants under a 600w and 5 more OG under two more 600w along with a 13 other "experiment plants" that arnt going to produce much of anything.

In the new vegroom I am going to be using a florescent lighting fixture with 6500k spectrum lighting so I get a close node range during veg. Eventually I will get another fixture for the second layer but I'm not sure how much we are going to be getting at the hydro store tomorrow.

I received the new clones today and we got 20 g-13, 11 sour diesel and 2 other clones with different strains. All look extremely well and are pretty much the same height. They will be set up in their homes tomorrow.

As for the other side of the room im not going to worry about turning into a budding room till a couple of weeks when the vegged plants are ready.

Got a few things done today but going to be set back a couple days because the hydro shop needs to wait for a new shipment to come in. Today i got the platform the correct size and the tarp and the zippers to seal off the area. Tonight there just going to stay under the florescent lights and im trying to get them in their correct pots with hydroton but most likely cant untill monday or tuesday...

The humidity in the bloom room get up to almost 80% at night. Should this be something I should try and fix for their last month?

Today after a couple hours of work I finished the second story for the veg room. I also installed the tarp to seal off the room. Included pictures like always . Now I'll be off the to hydro store tomorrow cause they will be getting their shipment in. Hopefully my clones will be in their buckets and being fed by tomorrow.

Almost finished with the veg room now. Got the buckets and resi but my flood tables have been back ordered.. should have them in tomorrow so the room will be complete. The clones went into a little shock but are getting better now that ive been watering them with sensigrow. Tune in later tonight im going to take good budding pictures of the OG when the lights go off.

well.. here ya go

Your expansion has turned out great so far, congratulations! For now you just hand water the hydroton? Can't wait to see how the buds are going since last week.

Thanks spark glad to see someones following along.. yeah they will be watered much more when they get in there reservoirs tomorrow. Here is a couple pictures ill take better ones later on. The girls are 5 weeks in and this is a couple side branches didn't really take a pic of the main colas

Thanks spark glad to see someones following.. Yeah im hand watering for now but they will be in there holding trays tomorrow and will be getting watered on their regular schedule every 2 hours. Here are a few pictures of the OG 5 weeks in budding.. ill take a few more better ones of the colas later.

Looking really nice. Mmmmmm...... frosty. 5 weeks in? Me too! Only my growth is kinda slow due to the cold, I think. During the summer I pulled 7 oz and the whole place reeked. Now it doesn't look as good, and the smell is almost imperceptible. Whatever, time will tell, and some bud is way better than no bud. Take it easy and keep up the great work!

Yeah I thought it was interesting I already have a bunch of amber pistils. I hope they start swelling up soon

Well my trays were finally in so I got to finish the bottom half of the veg room. Got most of the top part done just don't have the lighting fixture yet but have a bunch of single 2' florescence. I put wood under the flood trays so they will drain better. Both flood trays get filled for 10 minutes every 2 hours from 8a.m. to 8p.m. Ive always done my hydro system with this watering pattern what do you guys think about it? I was supprised all the clones I had in the white square pots fit inside just one 2'x4' flood tray. Really loving these new pots already I really suggest them for ebb n flow. Also took a few more pictures of 2 tops from the OG 5 weeks in budding whatcha think?

LETS GET SOME OPINIONS PLEASE!

Also I changed the lighting for the vegroom to 20/4
