Soil popped some hairs now as well...

Everyone else is still hanging in there. Using two stands now to better position my lights. Still have some spots I may hang a couple more if they look like they need it but so far this seems about adequate and maintains a solid 80f peak temp.

Bad news... Big girl on the right went hermie on me. Yanked that fckr now I just have the one hydro girl running. She stretched to all hell since she was fighting the big hermie for light since 12/12. Ohh well she's still progressing nicely as well as the soil girl so far. I'll post up some pics tomorrow once lights kick back on.

Just covered it up and going to run with the one girl now. You'll see why when I post pics she's gone ape shit stretching cause she was buried in the corner since the hermie was was bushier. Either way her bud sites are coming along so I'm just goiing to see what I can do with her. I've got a couple party cups going now too along with the 12/12 from seed NL bean I put in the soil. Just going to nurture what I'm running now and hope for the best.

Newb question here...... Can Hermies pollinate another plant?

I was under the impression that there are males, females, hermies and then "females that get pregnant?"

The males are obvious, and have pollen sacks too.

The hermies, I figured just developed seeds? But can a hermie or pregnant female get other females pregnant? Are hermies and "pregnant females" the same thing?

I guess I'm wondering if your plant that hermied would actually get the other female pregnant?

yeah they have both functional parts so the male sacs still burst with pollen and can fck up ur shiz.

The solo hydro girl is starting to spread out a bit and enjoy the new room more. Couple shots of her bud development so far. Soil girl is starting to bud up more now and my party cup just confirmed sex and I've got another girly!! Yay!

Hydro is at about 850 PPMs.. she showed some stress once I hit 1000 but seems to like it right here now.

Some shots right after the lights came on...
001.jpg006.jpg007.jpg002.jpg

Buds are gaining some momentum but hard to tell how they'll develop still.
You guys think I'm on track so far?

She stressed pretty bad when I removed the hermie since I'm sure I dmgd some of her roots in the process as well. They grew together quite a bit in the cooler...

PH is still swinging quite a bit. Having to add a bit of PH up every morning for the past 3-4 days. Temps have been around 80f in the room.

Party Cup girl is a thirsty bitch so I put my pc in a DD cup with some H2O and now her fckn roots r growing out the bottom of the pc lol

Hope everyone had a solid Turkey Day! :bigjoint:

What is the TDS reading when you have to raise the PH each morning?

If your TDS reading is the same or going down up the Nutes by 100 or 200ppm.
They are eating more than drinking. Try to find that sweet spot were they eat and drink at the same rate.

I could never go over 1200ppm using PBP/LK/Sweet

Make sure you have a lot of air flow or you will get mold near the end.

TDS is staying fairly stable (850) if not increasing some nights (900ish) so I think they are drinking more than eatting ATM. I add PHd water whenever the level drops a noticable amount and usually only have to add a small eyedropper full of PH up to get me back to 5.80 from the 5.4-5.5 it drops to.
Hasn't been dropping nearly as fast the past few days. I think using the mix of FF Trio, Cal/Mag Plus & Sweet is causing some swings as everything balances each other out for a bit after a full rez change.

Next grow I'm planning on trying the Canna Aqua line as they usually report really stable PHs and are a bit more geared for what I'm doing. The FF Big Bloom can be messy as hell in a rez.

I have a big 24" circulating fan in the room and it moves a fair amount of air in there so hopefully mold won't be an issue.

Speeding along at the bud sites. Once they get a little heavier I'll be adding support ties where needed.

Some of the older growth is looking rough from the past swings but everything is stable and happy now.
