Today I added three gallons of water w/nutes.

The plants are still stretching. The tallest plant is now 35" and the others are catching up fast.

Today's readings;

PPM 1000

Water temp 70f

Ph.....The pin reads 5.5 to 5.4....seems a little low but all plants look healthy and the leaf tips are not curling down, so I think the Ph is OK.

They sure look nice. Are you going to have to support them somehow? Like with a string from the ceiling?

I'm sure I'll need to do something. Probably put in a nail at the left and right and basically tie them into the corner, and tie the tops to the rod holding the lights.

I hope the plants stop stretching soon. The tallest plant is now 38" tall. I can raise the lights about another 16" Then I guess I'll need to top them to slow them down. I do not want to do that.

IMO don't top them after they've stretched - you'll lower yield. Bent them over instead. I have one girl in flowering three weeks because the light is as high as it will go & she's still growing.

Thanks bluecheese, I'm thinking the same thing. They have been flowering for seventeen days, so I'm thinking another week and a half and the stretch will be over.

This is the type of growth I've seen in the past. I'm hoping for some nice size colas on some of the girls this time.

I have three confirmed females. The boys are slower showing their sex.

I've installed nails at 40" AFF and tied a braided nylon string around the plants. Before installing the string I turned two of the plants so they would "lean" onto the string. Actually, the plants were bent slightly from trying to grow toward the lights.

The I repositioned some of the smaller branches so they could get more light and not be bent over.

Update on the roots. The roots doing the best are growing the best looking plants. Hmmm Imagine that.

The last set of pics is the largest plant.

The plants are drinking a lot of water.

Today I added five more gallons of water w/nutes.

The water level was way down and the PPM was up to 1200.

Added to the five gallons was 40 ml. bloom and 20 ml. micro. and 75 ml. Aquasheild.

I will have readings after the res has time to mix in the new nutes.

I am trying to make my post look better, but the color pallet won't let my see the colors so I'll need to experiment a little.


Well as usual with me and computers nothing works and nothing has changed.

Is anyone willing to help me learn how to manage the colors and such?
