Hello again!
It has been a while, and my last journal was an epic failure leaving my spirits dampened... Needless to say, I am back at it. This time around I have upgraded equipment however. For those of you following any of my previous grows you would know it was pretty basic. I will be posting pics of everything tomorrow so all I can do now is describe how it is. I have a 2x4x5 veg tent with a 4ft 8 bulb 400w t5 fluoro light on yo-yos. Air is circulated with one oscilating fan near the intake and another whole room air circulation fan pointed toward t5/tops of plants near the side vent. The air is pulled out of the tent through my 400cfm hydrofarm inline fan which is connected to a y splitter and hooked up to both tents, also on a thermostat to kick on when it gets to anywhere above 75 degrees. I also have a portable heater inside the grow room connected to a thermostat as well to come on when the temperature reaches anywhere below 70. I am using fox farm happy frog base soil and have an amended super soil i made following subcools recipe as well. In the first few weeks of veg I use straight base, then I transplant into a container with about 50-60% super soil and the top layer happy frog base mixed with sand and perlite. I had been messing around with ph strips at first then moved onto a milwauke, both are garbage in my personal experience. I eventually ended up spending an excess of 100$ on a hydrofarm ph meter. It is much more reliable. I ph my water to 6.0-6.6 using 100% lemon juice. Currently I have 5 bogs sour bubble seedlings(one of which is a mutant) in small clone pots and one ace of spades clone in a ten gallon pot(its in the process of being mainlined) all seedlings are going well however i have noticed yellowing in the lower leaves of my ace of spades, as well as burnt and curled tips, brown areas on the leaves. Only on the lower leaves however, not sure what is happening but I suspect it was either over or under nuted and possibly a bit over watered. I transplanted it last night into a ten gallon with 5 gallons of super soil in the bottom of the pot so we will see how that goes. I will post some pics I managed to take of the leaves i pruned that are damaged. When they are ready for flower I have 4 40 gallon pots and 3 20 gallon pots in the 5x5 under a 400W hps (really nice hortiluxe eye bulb) air cooled and vented outside through carbon filter and inline is in a sound dampener.

Computer got messed up unfortunately having it repaired by a friend, needs a new screen. I pruned off all of the leaves that looked unhealthy and super cropped it so the branch will become less dominant for mainlining. I have been cutting off other nodes every few days as well. Other five seedlings are doing great, I'll probably transplant next week. I'll be able to post pics in a few days. I see some leaves on the lower side fading yellow and getting the orange/brownish spots again like in previous pics, anyone with any idea what that is or how to fix it please let me know.

Hey guys long time no see! I've got quite a few pics and a lot going on sorry for not posting. Attached are pics of bogs sour bubble a few weeks into flower in super soil / happy frog. Using pure water at 6.3 ph using 100% pure lemon juice to lower ph. I'm mainlining, and in my recent endeavors I've been spending a lot of time, however, now that I am more settled in I can focus on the girls again. I am cutting off the side branch on the clone in the pic, and I have already pruned and topped the other plant, when it got to about double the size pictured. I'll probably tie it down in the morning, see how it looks and ten I'll prune off the excess from there. As for the clone I've already got it topped from the main node (accidentally let a side branch go wild for a week as seen in picture) and since I've pruned off the side branch and cleaned up the other tops, as well as topping them for 4 total tops from the main node. I have had no luck cloning any of the pruned branches unfortunately , I cut at a 45 angle and then I leave it in 6.3 ph water for a few days and then I put it in soil and it never works it just wilts right away and the next day it's standing but all te leaves are lifeless, any help would be greatly appreciated. Will take pics in the morning.
