Welcome, This is grow #2 for me, still a noob. I run a 4x4 Hydrohut, 1k value line magnetic hps, fan, carbon filter etc. Room is kept at 78 lights on 73 lights off by a 6500 window shaker (10.8seer), 40-50rh. (trying to bring this up a hair and keep it stable with out buying any more crap)

In the line up this time are 2 Mendocino Madness from beans(thseeds) 2 Blue Dreams (Craigs list cut... so who knows) 2 chem dogs, 1 banana OG and one pre 98 bubba from the dispensary

Each in a 3 Gallon pot with the cone thing in the center for more O2 to the roots filled with Sunshine#4, being fed Botanicare line up. Silica, Cal Mag, PBP Karma Super thrive and Hygrozyme. Hydroplex and MOAB on stand by. Feedings are every other day about 5 gallons of 700ish ppm in RO @ 6.6-6.8.

The pots are sitting on plastic roofing sheets, cut down to fit the tent and elevated off the bottom. Set at an angle to force all the run off to the front of the tent where I set up part of a rain gutter to catch the run off. (think it was Sea Maiden who turned me on to someone's DYI post on this set up. A cheap aquarium pump brings waste out.

First harvest was in April. I was having temp problems as I didnt have the window shaker then so I was forced to wait. My girls sat on life support under a couple T12 lights till a few weeks ago when I got the ac and power fixed. Let the girls feel the 1k light for a bit, then scrogged them out. Enough words: this is what they look like. Its a jungle in there.

End of day 14.
scrog_924_1.jpg

I added 2.5 grams of MOAB to my 4.5 gallon feeding for a little kick. Some folks call for a light pk boost at week 3. The MOAB label calls for 1-2 teaspoons per 5 gallon (5-10 grams)

I have been weening the girls off the PBP Grow, starting the transition at 75% grow to 25% bloom to 50/50 then 25/75. Next feeding will be all bloom. Silica, calmag, karma, hydroplex and a dash of MOAB will complete the line up. Still using the occasional Aquashield and hygrozyme. Over the next week I will be dropping my use of Calmag and silica down so I have more room for nutes.

Heres a crappy shot of the blue dreams

I am thinking about thinning the leaves out a bit and doing some other trimming. There are many good budsites below the main soon to be colas that are starved for light.

I dont want to get too aggressive taking so much off I inhibit growth, but thinning out the crowd some seems appropriate

Over the weekend I will have some energy drinks and stay up all night doing a final clean up under the scrog, removing or loosening any twist ties used to train that are too tight or not needed. Ill do some thinning then.

Update from a few days ago that I never got around to posting.

Day 23 in flower.
scrogd23.jpg


Thinned them out a little to make more room. Shaved legs, bumping up nutes.
Used a 2.5-3gram/5 gallon dose of MOAB in week 3. Ended this last feeding. Walking the dose of hydroplex up to 5ml/gallon
1 day a week I give fresh water, a little hydroplex and molasses. Ends up in the 150-200ppm range. Regular feedings are about 5 gallons every 2 days.

Warning, PedoBud porn below. They got hair, but aint quite ripe yet :D

It already IS a jungle.

Thought occurred to me today, these plants are going to finish at different times, think Its going to be a staggered harvest on the earliest finishers while the rest of them get more time. When the late finishers are done the tent will be emptied.

The end is closer and closer. Id update more often but its a pain to drop the jpg size down small enough for the farm to upload. If there was a way to resize the pics for upload it would help us lazy stoners.
