Super clean homie I'll post some week 3 pics Tommorow also I just popped a trainwreck , cirtical queen royal and a ice kush in some rapid rooters so hopefully by middle March I will be flowering them
Thanks. I've grown Ice Kush before. It was alright, not something I'll grow again though. The amount I pulled off was decent for the size the plants were at harvest.

Put these in flower on 1/20/15 so they 3 weeks and some change . I also changed my room to pull negative pressure and it droped my temps by around 8 degrees I'm not liking it that much drops humidity down to 28 and I like it up around 45-50 I'm going to play with it a little more on my days off , my trainwreck sprouted last night but it was upside down so I tore the plug apart and turned it around also my queen royal popped this moring in about two day I'll take them out of the plug and put them in collars in a areo bucket or bubbler

No I don't defoliate all I do is pick light deprived foliage from the bottom I do lst a little during flower it's hard to see by the pics , I'm only aiming for two zips per plant and there's eight right there , I use dwc 15 gallon totes right now and I have two 600 in a 3x8x8 closet there just cheap ipower lights with cooltubes with xl wings and my yeild from my buddies is almost the same and he's using high end bulbs .

I've been thinking about trying something new: instead of putting my nutes in the rez instead use plain RO water and foliar feed. For some reason I've been really curious how things would turn out. I know it would make my life easier not having to change out a rez, just add RO water back.

I'm not sure but wouldn't you spot burn your plants by foliar feeding that much ?? And you say change out rez ?? Over the last serval weeks I only add water back at day seven then I wait till they suck up all the nutes and water in the rez I mean to were the 1" air stone is taller then the water level and my plants have not suffered one bit make it a little easier to not have to pump 3 or 4 gallons out just mix nutes add water and nutes

I've foliar fed at levels equal to what's in the rez and never had any issues. If I do add back it's only water cause the plants don't take everything up equally. Only way to find that out would be to test the water. I'd rather start a fresh batch than add back. Guess I'll have to try and see.

Would be intersting to see a grow from foliar feeding I , good luck us I don't and anything back either but water what I was saying is I let them basically suck the Rez dry as a bone that way I'm just filling up and not pumping out and then filling up I never clean the Rez only after each havest

Tore the seedling out of the rapid rooter plugs and drop them in some collars and a areo bucket today went really smooth

This is the mom at 21 days since 12/12. She's way ahead of everything else at 21 days. Maybe it's cause she was flowering in veg. Her buds looked pathetic when she started in veg, like they were dry and just sad. I guess you could say they weren't developing, but now she's taken off. I'm guessing with the way things are going with her some time will be shaved off flowering. I'll take that. My last set of clones from her took forever to root and they look just plain pitiful right now. I'm not sure if I'll put the effort in on em or just pull em.

This is my perpetual grow. Once the 8 clones are ready, I pick the best four and move them to the four pot 12 gallon hydroponic tote. After about 6 weeks I move them to the bloom tent. I waited a week too long apparently in the switch, so now you can see the four plants got too big and I had to topple over some branches. The plants can stretch quite a bit when switching to bloom so i will take that into account next round. Happy Growing.
