Those look sweet man. If my plants get an oz a piece I'm sure those beauties will. U ever mess with topping or lst? I guess I think too big lol. But maybe ill just try to grow me some ganjazillas lmao. Thanks for that link too man. Ill have to check it out.

NatureaFinest · Apr 3, 2011

fuck yea thanks for that chart too. I'm gonna try and order some later this wk.

fatchubbs77 · Apr 3, 2011

no topping yet i did do a little lst on the front right one a couple weeks in nothin much but im more interested in scrog i think itll work great with my set-up, naw you dont think too big i just like to think worst case scenario i hate to be dissapointed so id rather think small and get big and be suprised than think big and get little if that makes any sense

NatureaFinest · Apr 3, 2011

Oh yea that makes total sense. I had way too high of expectations in soil. But I enjoy growin em as much as I do smokin em. That's nirvana aks right?

fatchubbs77 · Apr 3, 2011

I love growin to its like gettin dank bud everyday lol and its always somethin new goin on. ya two of them are i ordered five and the plan was to do all four ak48 but the day before i planted them i got 2 bag seeds from some of the best bud iv ever smoked so i couldnt pass up the oppurtunity to grow em out and see what i can do with them. Im hopin with hydro i can grow enough to last me my girl and my roomate until the next harvest is done because we spend way to much on pot lol. so if i can get 2 os a plant id be more than stoked

NatureaFinest · Apr 3, 2011

Heck yea man, good shit costs too much lol. From everything I've read I think ull have plenty. If I can get 2 a plant I'd love it. I may just run the fox farm nutes I got first go round just to c what happens but after I follow urs out I'm goin humboldt

NatureaFinest · Apr 3, 2011

Oh I meant to ask. What size airstone do u use?

fatchubbs77 · Apr 3, 2011

i use a 1 inch square air stone that seems to work the best but they get clogged so you have to buy a couple just in case it quits out on you there pretty cheap at like petco or petsmart and i use a whisper quite 60 gallon aquarium pump for the air, def try out the fox farm nutes it would be cool to do a side by side comparison or somethin like that

NatureaFinest · Apr 3, 2011

Hell yea thatd be cool but I'm not sure how they'll do in hydro. Hell I bought a 5" airstone for my 5 gallon lol

fatchubbs77 · Apr 3, 2011

is it like one of these

or one of the long skinny ones i dont reccomend using those but if you got the disc thats the best thing i just didnt wanna spend the money. iv heard pretty good things about them in hydro

NatureaFinest · Apr 3, 2011

Oh yea its a disk. I hope it does well. 6 bucks is a lot for an airstone. I was still worried it wouldn't put off enough oxygen lol. I got a lot to learn with DWC

fatchubbs77 · Apr 3, 2011

you should be fine thatll work out better just attach it to the bottom and itll double as a mixer for the nutes itll stop them from clumping up at the bottom of the bucket air shouldnt be a problem just a cheap five gallon air pump will do just fine

NatureaFinest · Apr 3, 2011

Hell yea that's good. The one I have is for 15 to 20 gallons so maybe it'll work well. I hope my net pots and hydroton come in tomorrow. I got a compact t5 I'm gonna use to do a test run. Its a real sweet fixture tho. It puts out about half as much as my 250 mh. But I'm gon try it and maybe grow a short plant the first try just to c if I can do it. Do u test ppm and all that?

fatchubbs77 · Apr 4, 2011

im not a fan of the flouro tubes i like the cfl there smaller and easy to manuever

fatchubbs77 · Apr 4, 2011

switched out the nutes and took some pics

fatchubbs77 · Apr 4, 2011

sorry i didnt read your whole reply i dont test ppm or ph everyone that ive talked to thats using humboldt has said the same thing. i believe its because the humboldt nutes can be utilized by plants on different levels of ph

NatureaFinest · Apr 4, 2011

Yea I kinda wish I wouldve used icfls to start but I really like this fixture. Ur plants r lookn awesome tho. R u flowerin now? EDIT I kno u r flowering now. Man those plants are beautiful. I hope mine look that great. So ph and ppm isn't a big deal with the humboldt? Thatd be great. I ordered some last night. I had to, ur a good salesman for em

fatchubbs77 · Apr 4, 2011

what kind of fixture is it? and ya i started flowering like five days ago no big change in the plants since then just a little vertical growth

fatchubbs77 · Apr 4, 2011

haha im just a salesman for growin good bud

regardless of the company lol. I was nervous at first because i couldnt afford the ppm and ph testers and im glad i didnt buy them because i dont need them at all so far. whatd you order?

NatureaFinest · Apr 4, 2011

The fixture is a pl55k i think they call it. It was from htg supply. It holds 2 of the twin tube t5s. It holds its own. I ordered the grow,bloom, and micro. Thinkn about getting the white widow and the ginormous
