Hell yea man! all of them are lookin way nice and your setup is cleeeeean.
I cant wait to be able to see these babies in person.
Hopefully soon ahh.
You should soon, I don't feel like this camera is doing them justice. I went and got a 14mp Sony Cybershot and they seem real blurry for some reason.

At least the Skywalker is showing his frost. These other ladies have such thick pistils and frosting going on it's crazy. I'm not even halfway through the flowering cycle yet and they look amazing. I'm pretty stoked on my first Hydro grow all in all.

I think tomorrow I am going to get myself a "Manny".

Took a look @ the ladies while I was adjusting the pH (light are off, haven't seen them since last night), everyone of my girls are showing their trichomes and they have pretty much doubled in size by the looks of it.

I don't wanna post a pic update everyday, I might put a couple up though. Next Rez change should be fscking amazing! I'm super pumped :}

Also, after standing there looking for a minute, I am just thinking the guy at the collective messed up and gave me 3 POG instead of 3 Skywalker (was supposed to have 2 skywalker in the tent and another was giving to another patient), I will see post comparison shots and you guys can tell me what you think. Damn thing look almost identical to the POG and nothing like the Skywalker. Now with the flowers their traits show through more, I doubt if this is just a differing pheno. They are way to damn different looking to me, oh well I'm ohk with it.

Post pics tonight, like I said, you guys tell me what you think.

I never did take pics of those POG. So to make up for it here is one of the smaller Blue Dream.













Let's hope they fill out a little bit in the next 3-5 weeks, right? :mrgreen: bongsmilie :eyesmoke:

Those babies are coming along perfectly. Already showing off their trichomes and I'm digging the long ass white hairs.

Great job, those girls look awesome. They have a wonderful rich dark green colour and long white pistils, either your one hell of a grower or your hiding the damaged goods. :clap:

Here is some nugpr0n...

I'm a little sad...

I have been lazy. I will do a 'real' update soon. Maybe under actual sunlight :clap:















I am sad because all the new growth seems to be HUGE trichome caps. When do I get so see some flowers!? Hahaha

Updates to follow as things flow thru, about to go get a burger at this drive-thru

Looking good lantern nice and green
Thanks man. Gotta make it through another 4-5 weeks yet haha

Yea, I think im straying away from soil next grow, COCO sounds a little more controllable.
Yeah. And you can still create a microbial layer. With an inert medium like CoCo you can make sure it's nothing but beneficial microbes. And you know exactly what goes into the media. Check into Canna nutes, they have a line designed especially for CoCo. The guy I talk to (everytime I get teh chance) @ teh hydro shop was just praising me on buying my Canna Aqua yesterday. He told me he uses the line with Boost and Bloombastic combo, he said he has rock hard donkey dick colas. I don't know what lights he was using or any other details lol, so I don't know if it's the nutes or the rest of his environment. I have noticed my girls like the bloombastic I just started boost today. I waited a week so I could get rid of the Liquid KoolBloom I had left over from previous grows.

My last rez change was (25Gal)

CannaAqua Flores A+B = 200ml/ea (1/4str)
Rhizotonic= 50ml
Cannazym= 225ml
SeaMag= 50ml
SeaCal=25ml
Liquid KoolBloom=13ml
BloomBastic=~40ml (about half a small 80ml bottle)
Humbolt Honey= 24tsp
Physan20=1/2tsp
Superthrive= 25ml
CannaBoost= 200ml

My Ph came out noice around 5.84
EC: 1.401
PPM: 700 (seems rather low to me. gonna watch this during the week. girls might need more newts)
Temp: 78.3

Air:
79.5(@night with lights on A/c on high, 5000btu a/c)
Humidity: 43%

....those were my readings when I changed the rez on Sunday night/ Monday morning.

Tonight before adding pH down. 6.8. with 5 gallons of water added. I adjusted to ~5.6 and threw in a bunch of frozen water bottles. I like my water temp to be around 65-75. Right now the Air is: 77.4F, 44% Humidity. There are lots of roots with hairs on them peeking out the bottom drain holes. I put down that cocomat to see if they crawl in there. With Air-Pruning they shouldn't, but I had it laying around anyways.

The seedlings are doing alright. Is there anyone out there with Tangerine Babies going? I think that is what I got these from and want to compare teh buds in the end. They are starting to grow some foliage now, I think I was overwatering them in the beginning. The clones I took from the flowering plants...the God's Gift died. That was a weak strain to begin with, or a fscking picky one. The Skywalker and Blue Dream clones seem to be doing fine. The POG is dying slowly I think, probably no roots. I think the Blue Dream and Skywalker were just meant for me.

Anything I left out?

Thanks for reading along guys. It is really nice to have people out there keeping me on track. Hope we can learn something from all the mistakes and bs.

Checked on the girls with the lights off. They are starting to fill in those missing areas nicely halfway through week 5. Can't believe it's been 4 days since the rez change haha. Days start to blend together with no sleep.

Damn the Skywalker is just a phenomenal plant. I'm glad a friend of mine and I agreed that we wanted to grow this strain, I just wish I had gone with the original idea of getting 9 of these...I couldn't even imagine...

I will give up some pics probably around rez change time again.

Lantern they look great dude!! 700 PPM is weak, too weak for this late in flower. 1200 - 1300 is usually normal, 1500 + aggressive... I bet your SkyWalker will love an extra boost of base nutes..

Yeah, I figured. I didn't wanna screw it up this late in. I will check the ppm tonight, if it is too low (it was 650-ish earlier), I am going to put in another 1/4 str of the Canna Aqua. Next week will be the beginning of week 6 and I will be putting in full Strength, I have been feeling like the buds are smaller than I want them to be/ should be. I am taking it easy since I have never done hydro. Also, I am not draining to waste if that makes a difference.

Anyways, school time. Will update tonight as usual. :}
