Whats goin on guys? Ive been watching and learning from you guys for quite some time now. I'm on my first multiple-patient grow, and things are interesting to say the least. I'll try to bring you up to speed on whats going on.

I'm running 3 1000W lights on light movers, over a 12 x 10 space for my flower room. My veg room is 10 x 10, but I'm only running 1 1000W and 1 400W light in there. The first mistake I made was vegging out as many babies as I did simultaneously. The flower room is pretty packed, and the oldest set of ladies are 18 days in. The veg room has a set of GDP and Pineapple Kush that have been vegging in 3-gal pots for about 4 weeks now. I've decided to start using 7 or 10-gal smart pots and running less plants, given that I have about 4 weeks to veg between sets anyways.

I'd love to share some of the pics that I have, and start getting some feedback, but I'm using an iPad and/or iPhone to post.

Anyone know if it's possible to upload pics from these devices?

I've got a lot of rambling that I could do, but I'd really like to be able to show you guys as well as just blab about it lol...

Okay, so I finally got a regular computer, which means photo uploads, which means I'm back at it with the journal.

So as it is, I'm at day 57 with the Blueberry Widow and Ice, about 50 with the agent orange, 43 with the first group of GDP and Ice, and about 35 with the second group. I just started vegging 2 "Atomic NL #5" in 5-gal smart pots. I'm switching from more smaller plants to less bigger ones, because I've been having issues with being able to maintain as many as I've got. Here are some pics.

These are about a week old. I'll get some new ones by tomorrow.

I've been having issues with PM and nutrient lockout, but this is my first run in my first **larger** room, so I've been learning as I go. Learned a lot while I was at it! Turns out a heat wave kills the shit out of PM, for those of you that didn't know (hope I'm not the only one lol).

Anyways, serve it up with some feedback, whatever kind it is. I'm here to learn, so break me off with some knowledge if you would be so kind!

Thanks guys!

These are pictures of the 2nd group of GDP and PK that are 4-5 weeks in; and the 2 new NL #5 in the veg closet. I'll have pictures of the bigger group tonight.

Looks great, I think your gonna have a huge harvest. Only thing I gotta say is if your having problems with mildew you should invest in a dehumidifier or maybe another A/C to keep temps and RH a lil lower. The hotter the temperature is then the more water is able to stay in the air which is what raises RH. So cooler temps helps keep humidity lower, but if it gets really humid then just use a dehumidifer. Good grow bro. :D

Also let me know how the Blueberry yields and please give me a quick smoke report, when you get a chance. I got some BB coming my way via mail and I would like to know how they turned out. Thanx in advance

I've got a DH that I keep set at 65%. I think the issue came from bad air circulation. I was just running a giant shop fan aimed at the wall to circulate air (like an idiot). I'll be grabbing 3 wall mount fans and a stand up fan soon. Each one will have a 1/4" co2 line running to it to spread co2. Can't wait.

@whatupdoc Thats a good idea using the fans to spread the co2. Just make sure you clean the fuck out of your room after harvest, you don't want any PM left over from this grow. That shit spreads like wild fire.

Yeah, no joke! I'm gonna clean it with bleach and burn some sulfur in there a few times before the next run...

Prevention and monitoring is the key to success. Don't ever use systemic shit( you'd be surprised Joe many caregivers or growers who do use ). PM is like aids and it's infectious like a wukdfire.
There is not much you can do till after harvest then you can clean and make sure to keep air flow/circlulation .

This product works great till the day if harvest and is safe. Check it out and use at 90% high dose.vie used many products and diff methods on previon of mildew/moulds.

It's 4am but I'd figure give you some advice on the pm issue, since ice had it happen in the past and it sucks and could fuck ur shit up if you don't keep on it.

Check it out, it's snout 15 bucks for 8 uses of 1 gal securements. No wetting agents needed and its got a oh buffer. I just oh my water before hand to 6.0 and let it do its thing.

Hey, thanks a lot man! You had it spot on with prevention and monitoring. It's quite difficult eradicating the PM when I've got a perpetual crop goin on. I kill it in one spot, then it pops up somewhere else and I end up transferring it back. Grrrr. I'll get it right soon enough, lol.

Have you ever tried making your water a little more on the alkali, or basic side of the pH scale? I've heard that alkali agents will help kill/prevent PM for a bit. I've sprayed them with 8.0 plain water before, and it definitely slowed the spread. Just a thought...

So I snapped some pics of the other ladies in flower last night.

Day 59 for the BW and Ice
Day 52 for Agent Orange, GDP, PK

The DWC buckets are both Agent Orange. At this point, the kolas are just too heavy, and its getting ridiculous lol. I did what I could to prop some of them up. Shoulda caged it earlier on. Enjoy.

Now I see why you have PM problems, all the plants are crowded and you have poor air circulation :( other than that it's a great grow, get more fans blowing in the right direction and maybe space the plants out alittle more and you shouldn't have any more issues. good luck and happy harvesting :)

My thoughts exactly. 4 circulation fans, 3 equally spaced intake vents, and more efficient use of my HEPA exhaust fan should do the trick!
