Looking real good man, I thought you were going to get more stretching but looks great.
I"m sure you have GH feeding schedule but if not, they recomend starting koolbloom along with your feed at week 5 of flower.

Heres a link to a GH nute calculator if ya need it.

Thanks Cruzer, I looked on gh's website and the feed schedule i saw http://www.generalhydroponics.com/genhydro_US/feeding_charts/GH_ExpertProgram_Recirculating.pdf said to start at the begining of the transition stage. I pretty much skipped the transition stage and started them on the flower cycle. What i have been doing is the first 2 weeks use 5ml per gal and the 3,4 week i am going to 10ml per gal and on the 5,6 week i am going to go with the dry kool Bloom and flush the last 2 weeks i was planning on using just ro water for the flush can u recommend any flushing agent that u used and saw great results.:blsmoke:

Cool,
Yea, i always flushed with plain ro water, kept changing it out till I was under 100 ppm.
Usually took a week or so. I recently found a product called clearex. I tried it on my last flush. I run it for 24 hours and then plain water. Worked pretty dam good.

What happened was the flush water went to under 100 ppm instantly. Like it washed off the roots, sucked out available nutes and made the plant use up what it had the last week. I am using it again today to flush the floro cab.

You can also use it during your grow, lets say you are moving from veg to flower, run clearex for less time like 1 to 3 hours then drain and add your new soup. Start slow, like 1/4 strength or it will burn but It removes the veg nutrients and gets it flowering faster. Or if you over nuted you can use it I guess.

Anyway, you might want to look into that.

Cruzer,
Clearex heard of it, have not done any research on it, and for the water you run water for the first flush week and and clearex for a day and flush with water for another week?

Thanks for stoppin bye c5rftw.

It has been a little over three weeks and looking good, though it was stuffy when i went in there today. Not sure if i should have or not but i cleaned some dead leaves off of the girls too figured it couldnt hurt. i have noticed that these ladies arent drinking as quickly as they were during veg which i feel is backwards. any thoughts. Oh and i am fed them 3/4 strength nutes and later before i go to sleep i will add another 5 gals with full strength bloom 20 ml. Here are some pics of the progress, sorry camera sucks!

Nice Shot,





Thats my fav anyway.

Yea about the clearex, I bought it online and had it shipped to me.
Forgot where now, just google it.

you run it with plain water for 24hrs at 5ml a gal. PH 5.9
Then plain water for a week or so. ph 5.9

lookin very good my man.... NICE!
looks like they could benefit from more light... usually you would be fine but since your plants are huge so fast, as the bigger they get...they more light they crave, it would help you..


these will still by AMAZING regardless... nice +rep

One month down one to go, looking good though. i just have a slight musty smell i feel that there must not be enough exhaust to vent it out but i have it running all the time oh well is this normal the temp varies between 79-75. I also had some lower vegitation looking pretty sad which i removed. Not sure of the exact reason why the leaves are dying, thought it was from some heat stress earlier in life. Looking forward to ur inputs. Here r some new pics.:leaf:

Your grow looks awesome man. Im sure you know some yellowing and loss of lower leaf is natural in about week six of flower.
In order to give an opinion I would need a better pic though.

Take one with flash just before the lights go on.
Then we would have a better idea.

yah just like cruzer said, the camera cant do with that intense light that an HID light emits... for those super quality pics, you need just a little light behind what you are photographing

you should have a mighty harvest... what are ALL the nutes you are using...
i am using cutting edge solution thier whole setup and kool bloom liquid. not sure if i will start the dry kool bloom today or not. Any ideas, it is day 35 and i was planning 4 weeks on liquid kool bloom and 2 weeks on dry kool bloom then flush for 2 weeks, 35 days of liquid kool bloom sounds like they would be prepared for dry but i am going to use clearex thanks to cruzer advice and i have another week to feed so should i start dry today or give it another week of liquid? thanks for the input

Whats up everyone,

and these weeks cant go by fast enough!!! It is really hard to look and not want to chop-em down haha! I got some new pics for ya hope you like and i put the circ fan i have propped up on the ground, now blowing from the bottom up to get better air flow and it smells better in there all ready i would like to thanks cruzer :blsmoke:for that i saw your cab and liked the fans underneath. I did notice a little heat stress on the girls directly under so i raised the light and put the glass back on. oh and i am sticking to the liquid kool bloom for another week since i could not get to the store this weekend.
