![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | The flowering has begun. All plants weathered the relocating process. I have tied down the two main branches of the biggest plant, and rearranged the smaller branches. The branches which were tied down last night have turned up toward the light. I added three more gal. to the res and upped the PPM. Today's readings; PPM 1475 Water temp 70f | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | After a hot day today, the res temp was a little high....in the upper seventies. I added three frozen bottles to cool it down. When they are defrosted I will add at least two more. The PPM is up to 1600 I'll keep a close watch on this from now on, a few of the leaf tips are burned. | ||

We are half way through the flowering stage, and it looks like we will do alright at harvest time. The two tallest plants have lots of buds started, the two smaller plants are doing alright but one of them is looking real good. As you can see in the pics above I have the two taller plants tied down so they are not so tall. I usually only veg the plants until they are ten inches tall but I had to go fifteen inches on some of these and now we have a situation. Not to worry...there is always a way to do anything. I'll be back with today's readings soon. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Everything is looking good in the grow room. The plants are drinking a lot of water. Tonight I added another three gallons to the res. I did not add any nutes as the PPMs are up to 2000. The res temp was 72f before adding the water. I will have up to date readings soon. | ||

I was thinking....it's been a while since we talked about Aquasheild, so I want to post a link so people can find it and read up on it. Here's the link. Hydroguard Bio Fungicide from Growco Indoor Garden Supply I think this product is one of the main reasons I am not having root problems with this grow. I would like to thank The DR. for suggesting it to me. Not only does it protect the roots from bacteria and root rot, but it can also be used as a foliar feed. I am currently placing my second order for this product. (hey bluecheese and Pesci...I'm not trying to sell anything here, just sharing some info on a helpful product.) In the past I have always used H2o2, but my closest hydro store doesn't carry it any longer, and says they have all but quit making it because no won uses it any more. Today's readings; PPM 1500 The PPM is drifting up as the water level goes down. I will add another three gallons soon. Water temp 67f. The plants look healthy. A few of the fan leaves had yellow spots but it was isolated cases. I might need to continue with light training on the plant in the corner against the wall. It is still trying to stretch a little bit. scrub...if your in the grow room somewhere I have a question. What would we call this type of training? Mid air SOG....MASOG? Sounds like something I heard in the Bible...from Gog to MASOG? (Rev. 20:8).....Spooky ain't it. Well, that's all I have for now. I hope you all are well and your grows happy ones. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I like COG (Corner of Green) and WOG (Wall of Green). How about a different tack, FST (Focused Stress Training). How about START (Stressfree Training At the Top). How about STARC (Stressfree Training Against the Corner). How about WT (Wrangler Training). How about TTT or T-cubed (Twine and Twist Tie Training).

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | That's good stuff. I think I like START. So....we're going to finish the grow with some start training. I'm confused, are we starting, finishing staying the same....o man so many things to think about. Checking THC level, brb with today's readings. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Today's readings; After adding about two gallons of water last night, the PPM are down to 1250. Added 30 ml. bloom and 15 ml. micro. I added Aquasheild last night. It was the last I had on hand. Water temp up to 74f. I let the grow room warm up some today, it seemed to stimulate some growth, but the res temp went higher than I wanted. | ||
