Man these plants are growing. The plants that were twelve inches tall , are now almost thirteen inches tall.

I flushed the res.

Added eleven gallons of nute balanced RO water. I'm using the Bloom formula on the GH bottle, but adding a little Lucas formula in as well.

Flora bloom 45 Ml.
Flora Micro 30 ML.
Flora Grow 15 ML.

Then I went back and added,
Bloom 15 ML.
Micro 7.5 ML.

For a grand total of,
Bloom 60 ML.
Micro 37.5 ML. Grow 15 ML.

PPM 500

I also added 150 ML. of AquaSheild.

The RO water coming out of the dispenser was 79f....So I added five frozen water bottles to the res to cool it down.

In the past it has taken about twenty one days to veg the plants to ten inches. This is after germination and the seedling is coming off the germination sponge and going into the rock wool. Which in turn goes directly into the aerospring.for twenty one days.

This time I had the seeds in the veg/cloner for germination and they were all about six inches tall when they went into the aerospring.

The plants have been in the aerospring for twelve days, and it's time to turn the lights out. So sprouting them first saved me nine days of veg time.

Of course if you have clones ready to flower when you harvest, there is no down time at all.

I'm going to move the two smallest plants back to the veg/cloner and take clones from them if they are female. But on second thought if these plants grow too slowly....maybe their clones will as well.

Hmmm and again what to do?

When I clone I take the best looking plants and chop them into multiple clones.... They never get to harvest the first run. That way the second run I know what Im going to get.

Man I would hate to chop the best plant, it looks like a good producer, but some of the other plants are starting to come on strong.

Today's readings;

PPM 450.......
Added 15ML. bloom. and 7.5 ML. micro.
New PPM 540

Water temp 73f.

Ph...batteries went out, can't check the Ph right now. But I'm not sure I trust the pen anyway.

The plants are green and healthy looking. The problem with the leaves is not as prominent as it was before I raised the lights.

Almost all the plants are ten inches tall except the two puny ones and the smaller but still growing one. I'm pulling for this little one to come through and catch up during the stretch. I have had some good buds come off the runt.

Pics are up in a few minutes.

THC level is low...I'll be back.

These are the taller plants on the back row.

Here is the smallest plant I'm pulling for and why.

It's front row center.

I view looking down and from the side.

Also a view of the stalk.

And the roots.

This beefy little plant might be a great producer. It has the root structure.

Here are the roots.

First the roots on the bigger plants on the back row, then the plants on the front row.

Then the roots to one of the small plants which aren't going to make it. The reason I think is obvious.

Ten plants, some have great looking roots, some have OK looking roots, but the best looking roots are on the tallest plant with the thickest trunk, and one of the shortest plants but one which has one of the thickest trunks.

All the conditions are the same for all these plants, why such a disparage in all these area's.

Must be because it's bag weed seed and could be from several different strains. Or genetics.

Check with scrub...he prolly passed it to v and he's all wrapped up in some calculations and is to stoned to remember to pass it.

I have the timer set to turn off the lights at 7:00 AM. And come back on at 8:00 PM.

So the light will burn during the coolest part of the day.

Res temps won't be much of a problem from now on.

What? ... Anyone see my Anna Faris Smiley Face DVD?
