Whats up just stoping in to say whats up, and tell you things are looking great. You did a nice job pruning. She even got bigger than I thought damm you got a real monster there.

I have a few questions?

1:) I notice you have 2 girls and 2 grow spaces now is this correct?
Nope, still only one 3x3 (if the girls get any closer they are definitely gay:mrgreen:
2:) What is the diffrence in lighting of the 2 rooms?
NA
3:) Can we get a distance shot of both plats to see the prune job :D
Yep, I'll post them
4:) Is the one filling up with buds the smaller of the 2?
Yep, but they are both filling up with buds. It's just that the smaller one is pushing colas whereas the bigger one is still stretching. The one that is bigger now (less colas) used to be the smaller one. (thank god I didn't smoke yet today,lol) I'm baffled as to why they are sooo far apart in their development:evil::-?:roll:?
5:) Is the one in the original grow room the one that got toped first (the big one)?
The one that is still stretching was topped differently! I topped the producing one (colas) 3 times: First at the main stem, and then once more at each of the 2 new stems.
The other one was not topped at the main stem, only twice on each side, which could be the difference with their development?!

sorry for so many ?s I am just loving this thread and omg...holly shit..so big so fast. 1 more ? what ppm are you running now? Great Job !!!!

I'm wondering if I'm on schedule to finnish up in 4 weeks(at least the one that is pushing colas) since I'm supposed to add overdrive and pk13/14. I do not know if it would fuck something up if they do not finnish on time?!

The slower one I will continue to feed it's bloom nutes and additives without overdrive and pk13/14.
Another thing I was thinking about was: I started to use Green+Stay (keeps canopy green and healthy during flower) a while back (4-weeks) since I had that leaf problem and now I'm thinking it's what may contribute to my slow flowering with one of these plants, since it has a lot of nitrogen in it. I'll discontinue its use:mrgreen:

Stay Human guys, feedback appreciated!

Try watering 15 minutes every 3 hours. My "friend" does this and i can assure you he produces great results. Good touch with the 5 inch air stones you will see the difference when it comes to bud time.

Well, it's week 8-3 Flowering:mrgreen:
Everything is moving along great, I started Bud XL and PK 13/14 on the further along plant. Next res. change I will start Overdrive as well.
The slower plant is not getting Overdrive since I'm not sure how much longer it will take and I do not want it to finnish too soon.

PK 13/14 seems to throw my PH off in a biiiig way, I have weird up and down fluctuations, if this keeps up I will stop using it:evil:

I also started to add back 25% strenght nutes instead of only water. I didn't like that on the first day after res. change out my ppm would drop by 500 and then less every day after like 300 then 250 then 200. That seems to tell me that something in my nutes is being used up rather fast and then the plant settles for what's left. Therefore, I add back 25% with the hope that there is a 'richer' buffet for my ladys to eat from:twisted:. We'll see if I fucked up with this theory:mrgreen:. I obviously check my ppm daily to make sure my concentration is not getting to 'hot'

Let me know what you think!

lol, I just checked my earlier posts and man, they were some sorry looking plants, lol. I'm amazed they are still alive! But in the end you read a lot and you never go with only one guys advice (unless he/she is the man:mrgreen:), always bounce it off etc.

Thanks for your kind words!:mrgreen:

Little update:mrgreen: Day 78 days flowering / 14 days left
I'm still feeding full strenght but did stop pk13/14 due to big ph drops:confused:
I can tell that the plants want to finish soon, everything seems to harden up and there is very little growth except fot fattening buds.
Other then that I've been getting clones ready for my little rotation experiment. Also been building me a new dripper that can house 3 plants at a time. More on that later:mrgreen:

Hi there Sean,
IO Right now I have the drips on 24/7
I learned a lot with this grow and I have come to the conclusion that my earlier problems had nothing to do with over-watering! In fact I know now that you can not drown in clay pebbles.

My fresh batch of clones which are only 3" tall get watered during lights on 18/6 and they absolutley love it:mrgreen:

Cheers mate,
Unity
