Prnkstr's Second grow! Various Strains

update son, let's see some progress

well its been 4 days since my last post so here we go , They have been drinking water like crazy i have been needing to top off the tank almost every day i just topped them on saturday. They are looking pretty damn good. Did a res change and new nutes tonight keeping it on a 1000ppm diet even the littlest of the bunch now hes 3 weeks old and i feed him every 3 days with full strength nutes same as the others the big ones are still on nutes every 12 hours. I got my stanley fan and it burned out , so im throwing in the dice and just gonna get some vortex inline fans from my hydrostore soon. These suckers are getting pretty tall i also need to get some ceiling hooks for my T5's. let me know what you think !

Coming along nicely man!!!

The topping definitely works wonders - many of the best stems I had to clone from were the ones that came up after the topping.

When ya gonna do some clones? I'm interested to see how it goes for ya. Been a little bumpy for me, but I think they're getting better now...

it's been almost one week. updates?

well its been about 8 days from my last post i lost internet for a while but now im back and ready for an update, so here we go, the plants have been topped and are growing nicely. I am flushing the system today with clearex for about 2 hours i also dumped about a gallon of distilled water on them last night to get ready for todays flush. I also fed them just RO water today with no nutes. They are drinking through about 8 gallons a week so i having to top off every other day. Im thinking about getting a different setup for my res like a res on top of a res so it can top itself off when it needs to. The lights are as high as they can go right now and 1 plant seems to be really filling out lol as you can see in the pics. i dropped the PPMs down from 1200 to 1000 cause im running a little short on nutes and cash. I took 4 clones from 3 of the best plants to get started on sexing. I am getting some pre-flowers but i still really cant tell what they are. well here are pics from today. let me know how its looking!

yesterday and today were pretty busy days. I did a tear down of the closet veg room and redid it. Mounted the lights from the ceiling with hooks, re-plumbed the RO into my closet instead of having to carry the water into the closet it now fills a 20 gallon black rubbermade roughneck trash can with a float to stop when it fills up. Added some dripper stakes and also added some hydrogaurd to the water to help out the roots , yea yea i know it should have been done a while ago but ohwell. The clones are looking sweet they drooped down for the first 2 days but now they are bouncing back and doing damn good i keep then under CFL work light that i had laying around until i can get some other lights. it seems to be doing its job for what its worth i spray then down about 3 times a day and i used Jumpstart in the soak for the rockwool.

well its been 8 long weeks since i started these bad girls from seed and yes i said girls , every single seed I planted is a girl!! hell yea!! anyway these ladies are doing absolutely awesome. I just did a flush of the system yesterday with clearex after letting them suck on 20 gallons over the last 2 weeks. I literally have to move the lights every day because of "Special K" on the left side of the pictures is getting way to big lol. I also decided to take a pic of the nutes that i am using. The clones are doing great and soon will be going into my tent where they will sit under a 600 watt MH for a month before i switch it out for a 600 watt HPS , the mothers will stay in the closet flower room under the T5's. tell me what you think!

You seeing any roots on those clones yet?!?
My second batch of clones is doing well thusfar, but still to early for roots (only been 5 days since I took 'em).

Looks like a nice batch of girls ya got there

Well its been a while since my last post i have been rather busy and lazy. So here goes, The first set of clones almost died due to human laziness and over feeding and nute burn. i lost 3 of one plant but the rest survived just fine and are growing pretty good. The special K plant that was the big one in all the pics i have i chopped down it was just getting to big to damn fast so i took 9 clones from it and hopefully i will get 50% of them to take. I powered up my 600watt HPS for flowering and it was staying about 95 even with some air cooling and ducting going to the fixture, so i bought some 4 foot 4 bulb T5 HO fixtures for the tent for the initial growth of the clones, they are working just fine but now i have to figure out if i want to flower with them and swap out the bulbs or run the super hot HPS system. I also need to get some better vent fans for the tent but its working out so far so good. I am also testing out some various nutes that i got last time at the store, Mother Earth(non organic), and Advanced Nutes Micro. They are working out pretty nicely. Though some plants suffered until i got the formula correct. I also decided to go with a drip style system for the flowering area just a bit different than my drip system for my grow room. Well take a look at the pics , ask some questions and leave me some feedback!

Well its been a while since i posted an update so here goes, i lost a few clones after i took down my biggest plant. The first set of clones are doing well, i have 10 of them in my bloom room. They look to be ready in a few more weeks. Posted will be plenty of pics from the last few weeks. im using a 600watt HPS for my tent and i upgraded my Mothers room to 2x 4foot T5's with just grow bulbs no bloom bulbs. Nutrients haven't changed still using the same amounts and schedule. so here are the pics Tell me what you think!

Here are some more pics

Here are pics from about 2 weeks ago

And finally here are the pics from today

Wow man those are nice looking girls! Great job so far.

Man am I jealous - very nice work!

I just did another fresh batch of clones today, but this time I have an aerocloner - I hope, I hope, I hope...

How's the progress?
Things are starting to look much better for me

things are going good, i just harvested the last 3 out of my 10 today i will post an update with some pics and weight totals pretty soon, i also took a new batch of clones so we will see how things go

Well you can imagine I was busy for a while with the first harvest i got roughly 9oz dry cured buds and they were pretty good. i dont have any pics of them since they are gone already lol. But i do have shots of my clones and the mothers before i chopped them down so here we goooooo!!

As you can see the mothers got huge! I also decided to make my own clone machine which cost me about 75$. My last harvest was only 10 plants. This time around im shooting for 30.

Looks like you're getting things nicely dialed in - Excellent work!

After my poor luck with cloning in rockwool using an aerocloner has been a savior for my sanity. Getting much better results and so much less hassle.

Good luck and keep us posted

Time for another update, Ive got a bit to do on my hands every day now since I am now working with roughly 36 plants. I transplanted my little clones into the flower room and am trying out a little DWC/Bubbleponics system this time around. I still have my 15 in my drip style setup as well as a few i need to hand water every day due to cost and space. ive been using the same nutes however im trying out some bushmaster(humboldt products) to see how it works. I can say from just a week it lives up to its name the top ofg the plants have gotten really dense and bushy. everything else is the same. air is always rougly 80F good air flow. any comments or suggestions are always appriciated. I also started 2 new mothers and killed off "special k" as she was to big of a grower for my limited space
