thanks dirty!! appreciate it! I wanted them to get a little bigger.. my ceiling is 8ft tall so I have some room :) Also, some of the clones had the spider mites so I wanted to contain that prob before I flipped the lights..Im using MH conversion bulbs right now for veg and then Ill switch to hortilux hps for flower... before I flip the lights, I turning the closet into a mother room. I should be doing that here in the next couple days.. I just picked up most of the stuff today and the rest is coming from the internet this week :) I will post pics of all of my work as always! As for the pump, its on 3/5 on/off. I had it 24/7 but it put my res to like 78 degrees... When I have it set, it stays at like 71 :) I did lower the levels about half way though

Hey Dpanagano

I like to keep my mothers in coco.
I hand water them every 3 to 4 days.
I also Veg them with a 400 Watt Metal Halide as this is meant to give better results than fluoro's.
How do your Fluoro's do for Vegging Mums?
It would save me heaps in power if i changed over to Fluros.......

I am thinking of changing the Mothers to Floc and stick them on a Flood and Drain Table ( Set & Foget ).
Save me having to Hand water in future.

I wouldnt use soil for the mums.
A friend gave me afew clones in soil a while back.
All of a sudden i had spider mite issues ( set me back a month).


Excellent grow so far, watching this grow till the end, for sure.

Hey indef... Thanks I appreciate it.. Yea the clones that I got from this guy were infested with mites also! ughh... I used azatrol, but sprayed while the lights were on, so that set me back for sure.. I am going to use a mix of coco and soil.. Ill put the brands up later.. Ill prob have to water every couple of days, but that way I remember to trim.. I am using a closet so I cant let them get too big! Fluors should be fine for veg as long as it creates enough tarp.. I am using 1 4ft 4 lamp and 1 2ft 4 lamp sunblaze systems..This is for a 7'x3'x6' area.. Should be plenty of light for the ladies... Going with 18/6!

Thanks Big Bud!

30- yea it makes the water realll warm.. I dont need a stone because I use hydroton and there are spray lines! It allows for large amounts of nutrient water and Oxygen for the roots!

i started flowering mine when it was the size of the big plants you have. if i wouldn't have trained it, i would be 4 foot tall right now. so it will get much bigger. i would say that they are ready whenever you are. you do have alot of space in there so if you want a bigger yeild you could veg em longer. i blew up one of your pics and could see the calyx development. its up to you

Glad everything is looking good now! Have you discovered any tricks yet? I just did a rez change running- 15ml/g flora, 10ml/g micro, 5ml/g bloom with 10ml/g florablend and 15ml/g hygrozyme. My ppm is around 750 ph 5.8. I'm on day 17 veg and I'm gonna flip the lights around day 21. When I did the rez change I added the flora blend and hygrozyme to the mix and they really took off. Peace

i don't know if you have ever seen plants when you introduce the 12/12 but its pretty cool. i shut my lights out for 48 hours when i did the switch and when i turned the lights on, there was new growth everywhere.

Those plants are gonna be monsters....you really cant under estimate how much more they will grow once you flip the lights to 12/12. I can already tell they are gonna be a handfull. I have never used co2 with my aero flo setup and i have never had those stress problems. You should really try backing off the co2 to like a 1/4 strength for a about three days and that will allow the plants to show real sighns of recovery if that is the problem, and if they dont recover it will not harm them. From the looks it seems they are just being a tad overloaded.

Thanks pimp.. Thats a good idea! Im gunna drop to 450 ppm for the next couple days for sure.. They were also suffering from lack of nutes.. I had the ppm under 200 now its at about 370-390 so that should def help them get a little better! Im going to post some pics later today for sure.
