Prnkstr's Second grow! Various Strains

So im starting this a little late but its better than never. Im running right now 4 plants starting the mothers this is my second grow but basically my first due to not being able to finish the first(had to move in a jam). So this is a 10 site drip system in my closet where i will eventually grow the clones and keep the mothers. Ive got 4 plants going right now 2 of which i have no idea what strain they came from the others are purple kush and train wreck. im using a RO water in a10 gallon res with 2 12" airstones, nutes are; Sensi Grow, Cal-Mag, Sweet, Dark Energy. The lights are 2x 2foot T5 HO 16k lumens. Im doing medium feeding but do not really know the ppm (dont have a ppm meter yet). The PH stays around 5.5 to below 6.0 (im using the chemical shaker method no digital meter yet). the air stays around 75-80 F and humidity is around 65%. Enjoy and ill post more every week! Feel Free to comment and help me out! These are 3 weeks in from seed.

more pics.

special k is hangin down to the knees, playa. I want to know more about the purple stems, is that a good thing?

from what i read the red stems can be genetic, though at this point they have stopped and turned nice and green. I also hear that they can be cause by bad water/grow media but who knows i did a flush last week with clearex so I'm not sure exactly the reason for them.

nice job,cant wait to see how it goes

btw, plus rep fo sho mo fo

Looking good man!
I'll be sure to keep an eye on this one - thanks for the heads-up.
Should be interesting to see how our plants progress. Seems like you're at about the same stage with those as I am.
Good Luck

so ive been having some trouble with humidity during the day so i have decided to finally get some air ducting and get one of the stanley utility blowers that was listed in https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/136319-stanley-squirrel-cage-blower.html they seem to be way cheap i got mine ordered from beach audio (just googled it ) cost me $50 and it will be here in about 4 days. On low settings it has over 2x the CFM as a 6" Vortex fan from my local hydro store so i will be using it to suck air out of both my Veg and Bloom Rooms. I will post some pics once i get it up and running. Until its up and running i also changed my light cycle to 24/0 rather than 18/6 so i could keep the door open to keep it cool in the room.

got home today and everything is going well i had to adjust the ph down just tad bit but everything else seems to be going fine. with my res change yesterday i also upped my ppm per the bottle instructions to 1200 ppm though i cant test it to see if its accurate yet but soon that will change just wating to get paid! ill post some new pics tomorrow when i get home.

Wondering if you've topped any of your plants yet?
I'm not really clear on how often one should do that - you have any guidelines?

Im thinking about topping them either tonight or in a few days. my only guideline is to not kill the plants lol.

Well its time for an update its been just 3 days from my last set of pictures and i must say im impressed with how well these (crosses fingers) ladies are doing. I also forgot to put this in my other post im only feeding them every 12 hours midnight and noon and they went into a 24/0 light cycle as of yesterday.

and just for comparison here is a shot from 3 days ago and from today

Nice progress - amazing how quickly these buggers grow

Time for another update its been 3 days and they are doing great! posted is a shot from today and from 3 days ago. i also started another seed and its well on its way!

just checked my res and it was a bit slimy and gritty like some salt or other type of build up so im doing a flush with some fresh water and clearex 1/2 ounce per gallon running the system for 1 hour. Odd since Im not sue for a change for a few days but ohwell.

So these babies are exactly 1 month in from seed i started these propagating last month on the 8th. So i decided to take some more pics today for shits and giggles i also noticed some burn or nute deficiency today but only on a few leaves. Also not sure about sex yet though they are only about a month old into veg

Woot! got one of my new toys today cant wait to get to use it! I got it from a website called beach audio. It was about $40 shipped and goes up to 5000g with an accuracy of 1g/0.05oz!

Nice - gonna have to check that out. My old hand scale, the kind you clip a bag to and let dangle, isn't gonna cut it once I get my setup runnin

Time for another update. I got My Stanley fan, and some of my bloom room equipment. Im using a 4"11'x4"11'x6"7' grow tent that i got at Green Coast Hydro. and a similar type of setup as my veg room however i wont be using drip for my bloom room im going to do flood and drain (though im not completely certain yet) i also got my 600watt HPS rig today with a lumatek electronic ballast. i still need to get some chains, hooks, piping for proper mounting but i hooked it all up to make sure its all good to go. I got the light setup on ebay for way cheap its an all inclosed setup ready for air cooling. Cost me about $285 shipped. so far this grow has cost me roughly $2,500+ and im still not done. Im a true beleiver in doing things right and just spending the money rather than dealing with the hassle and time to build things myself. Lack of space also contibutes to lack of building things myself lol. Here are some pics from today.
