The controversial Vitamin C grow

So not much change in the past couple of days I upped the nutes a little bit today and did all of my cleaning and sanitizing. That is the only part I am not liking about my setup it is not a lot of maintenance all of the time just a whole bunch every week or so. It is something to enjoy though it gives me a great reason to get away from the wife and kid lol. I love the alone time I get with my little ones they are my favorite children sometimes.

Glad to hear all is well, ThatGuy. I've got a bunch in need of transplanting, and I need to find a source for inexpensive (cheap to free and relatively close by) 3gal planters. I've got almost enough if I use the 1gal, but not 3gal. I may just use the 1gal pots.
Hey seamaiden, why do you have that quote from Panhead????
I thought it was funny. Plus it's a good reminder of some of the tales that go around on sites like this. :)

Well today i had to play executioner and pulled one of my plants :( it was sad very sad to see him go. It was the plant that was growing funny when i started out my grow oh well though i am pretty sure that one of the remaining two is still a boy so it looks like only one girl sad but good at the same time. If i only have the one girl i can use all of the cfls that i have acquired over the past month and focus on her. so it will be 14 23w cfls on one girl this is going to be some work to remodel the room to make it possible to position the lights in a good way hmmmmmm oh well i will make it work and post the pics i think that i am going to try to set it up in such a way the i can focus most of the light on the flowers when i start to flower. This is going to be a real head scratcher.....

Oh yeah i added hygrozyme in my reservoir to try to help break down the roots that i may have missed when i killed him.

So all of the guys are gone now and my lady is just about ready to flower she looked a bit over watered so i turned off the water for tomorrow i think the next time she gets watered will be with phed water to flush the table and then with fresh sensi grow, fresh hygrozyme, and fresh water not the flush water lol. Here is what she looks like now all 17" over her

hey sea i think i found the place you want for cheap pots for your little ones you can get 20 quart nursery pots for $1.99 a pop here is the link hope it helps :) Plastic Round & Square Nursery Pots and Poly Grow Bags at Home Harvest Garden Supply
Hey, thanks. :D I just paid (or, more accurately my husband just paid) close to $4/pot for some 3gal. pots at Lowe's-down. :x So, I had to limit what I got and the majority of my plants are in 2.75gal pots, then a few in 1.75gal pots which will most likely need a repot.

In the meantime, your girly is looking very good and happy.

So this is my little lady six days into flowering. She is 27in tall and about 28in wide all around. I got a few pics of her she is really taking advantage of the room. The one picture i was tryin to get a good pic of her flowers it's a bit blurry but you get the point.
Her nutes are still sensi grow for one more week they got upped to 5.8ml/ liter
hygrozyme at 5ml/ gallon
superthrive 3 cap fulls, from a 4 oz bottle
and vitamin c still to lower my ph

Well it is day ten into flowering and I changed her nutes to sensi bloom since she was starting to stop spreading out and starting to stack on the buds. She is now getting
sensi bloom at 6.2 ml/liter
hygrozyme at 5ml/gallon
Superthrive at 3 cap fulls from a 4 oz bottle
and vitamin c to lower ph
I have had some temp problems the outdoor tamp has been about 100 to 110 the past few days and hasn't gotten much cooler than 75 80 at night. The room is between 75-85 so it is a bit of a nail biter i never liked to see my plant live in anything over 80 but she seems to be doing fine at 85.
i am waiting for the pics to get from my cell to my email so i will post soon

Hey my friend, I was wondering how you made your room with panda film. Did you make barriers with the panda film, or do you have some kinda frame that it's attached to? I am trying to make a corner of my spare bedroom, a flower room, and use my closet to veg, but am a lil unsure how I wanna construct it. I would like it to be 4x4 any ideas. I read something you posted doin something like this. Just curious, any reply would be appreciated. PEace.

Well I did it i went out and spent the money to get a hps light it is only a 150w light though.... It was self ballasted but i took it apart and made it a remote ballast and i am so glad i did. I now have 8 warm 23w cfls for side lighting and the 150w hps my room actually is about ten degrees cooler now than it was with all 14 cfls I'll throw some more pics up soon
